Sucker Punch

Year: 2011

Why'd I Watch It?: It looked, interesting?

What's It About?: Girls in an insane asylum who try to escape through some girl dancing?

What'd I Think?: I wanted it to be all vision questing and a semi-decent story, but all I got was video game cut scenes and a pile of poop. The dance-dream sequences look neat, but that's really all this movie has going for it.

What's It About?: Burt Lancaster being charming and Katharine Hepburn being a bad ass.

What'd I Think?: Fantastic and well acted all the way around. It's a good story about a strong woman. Maybe my favorite Katharine Hepburn movie?

Year: 1933

Why'd I Watch It?: Another one my dad wanted me to watch.

What's It About?: Women looking for rich husbands and a lot of theatrics.

What'd I Think?: Busby Berkeley was a mad genius. A really fun movie that descends into crazy elaborate dance choreography. It's redonk.

Le Million

Year: 1931

Why'd I Watch It?: My dad wanted me to.

What's It About?: I...I don't really know, some guys win a million dollars but have to track down the lost ticket.

What'd I Think?: It was just kind of disjointed and goofy. I think it was probably better when my dad first saw it in the 40s/50s.
