Beauty and the Beast 3-D
The 3-D is actually pretty subtle. It's most noticeable during crowd scenes, when the characters are traveling through the woods, and when it was raining or snowing. There were actually parts, mostly in the middle of the movie, where I could remove my glasses and see just fine.

Dad Netflix-ed Brian's Song. I knew of it, but had never seen it before. Now I'm scrambling around trying to find the Pinky and The Brain parody of it, where the field is an electric football set, the ball is a painted lemon, and Bill Clinton somehow has the authority to hand over control of the world to Brain. ;D I love Mel Brook's stuff. Though, somehow, I only own a copy of Blazing Saddles.  My favorite is probably Men in Tights or Blazing Saddles, though I've only seen about half of his films. |

Beside Young Frankenstein, I've only seen Men in Tights and Blazing Saddles. I've really enjoyed them, so I think I need to see more.
I remember that parody! I'd never even heard of Brian's Song before that episode. >.>

I had.
The first I'd heard of it was actually a play version in my reading book, in what I believe was 6th grade. If you've seen the movie, you can imagine I was a bit shocked by Brian's (albeit, sarcastic) racist remarks, which naturally weren't in the version intended for kids that I knew. ;D
I didn't see the parody until a year a two later, back when the show (along with Freakazoid! and Animaniacs) were in syndication on Cartoon Network.
As for Mel Brooks, Spaceballs is a must. Dracula: Dead and Loving It was also pretty good. It'd be cool if they gave it another run in theaters (to capitalize on the whole vampire craze/hate of the vampire craze that's been going on the last few years), but it didn't do that well the first time around. Maybe a special Blu-Ray release is in order.

Two other good Mel Brooks films that are good are: The Producers and The Twelve Chairs.

I want to see all of them. I'll have to rent the rest when money isn't so tight.

Brave An excellent movie IF you know all about Scots. Being married to one, this movie was SO authentic, I was cracking up in the theater during the betrothal scene where fights keep breaking out! Still, though rather satisfying plot-wise, it feels like it could have done more with plot. Not a lot, just more with the cursed prince. I just feel like the end there was somewhat anticlimactic or something. SO could have done more there. |
