The Conspirator (2010) (B-), Dylan Dog: Dead of Night (2011) (F), The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2006) (C).

Yes, I realize I was all over the place with my movie selections this week. Let me be... :)

I thought Harry Potter had a weakish ending, I failed to make an emotional connection with the character resolutions. Still, in my mind, this movie would compete for best in the series (I have to give Cuaron's HP3 a slight win). I never read any of the books, so any comment I make is purely based on the movies.

For the past month or so I've been making sure I watch at least 1 asian movie per week, focusing for now mainly on Takashi Miike and Ji-woon Kim. I still have plenty to go, but I'll probably need to be asking for suggestions later this year.

On an island with you is so entertaining, as are all Esther Williams films. But, Joe - talking about islands- did you see The Little Hut ? {nm} JMT-NL Aug 20, 09:17

It has been awhile now - but I liked The Little Hut back when I saw it. joeoftexas Aug 20, 09:25
