Flags of Our Fathers
$18.98
The soundtrack to "Flags of our Fathers" is a fine recording of music from the Oscar-nominated film. The strength of the album lies in the period songs, which are arranged beautifully by the artists who perform them. Clint Eastwood's orchestral score is another matter. It's got some fine moments (Like in "Wounded Marines," "Inland Battle," and the theme), but is a let-down overall. It's hard to know who to recommend this to. If you've enjoyed Clint's soundtracks before, then you'll probably like it.
Grade: B+

Collison Course [VHS]
$9.98
Pat morita was running high from his Karate Kid movie and leno was the guest host of Carson so together "they made the worst movie i've ever seen"...actually, it was not the worst movie, that goes to Woody Allen's "Shadow and Fog" and "the Hand Maiden's Tale" and "The Cook, the chef, his wife and her lover" -- this had some merit, mostly a young, fresh faced Jay Leno, and Pat Morita who is desperately trying to act his way out from the worst written cop movie ever made...it could have "worked" but for some reason it didn't...

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
$8.99
I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on television and have to say it is 100% better than 1971's "Willy Wonka" film. Johnny Depp is the most versatile and talented actor on screen today! His portrayal of Willy Wonka is hilarious and heartfelt. My favorite scene is the "squirrel scene" (I'm not going to give away the details). Tim Burton's directing is magnificent.

The "Oompa Loompa's" (played by one man with special effects) are much more tolerable, not totally weird and kind of entertaining than they were in the 1971 'Wonka; movie.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is very true to the book.

I like the movie so much I am going to buy the DVD and/or purchase the movie download.
