I watch 2 - 5 DVDs a week and I've decided that I'm going to start telling you all what I think about them, better then those stupid surveys people take here. This is just a bullet point review of each DVD.

Touch of Evil - I have a soft spot in my heart for Film Noir, and Orson Welles directed a low budget winner with Touch of Evil, while not quite a brilliant as some people say and Charlton Heston does play a Mexican this was an enjoyable ride for me, great photography 4/5 stars.

La Tigre la neve (The Tiger and the Snow)
- Wired Italian romantic comedy directed by and staring Roberto Benigni. It took a little for me to get into this film and every once in a while I felt like the humor was going to take a direction that would really grate on me but it always seemed to steer away from those treacherous waters at the last minuet and keep the film fun and enjoyable. This movie sometimes takes darker turns but rather then taking away from the comedy it makes it more believable 3.6/5 stars.

Big Fish - I enjoyed this, it's fun and touching and the way Tim Burton mixes fantasy with reality is wonderful. 4.5/5 stars

Loony Toons Vol 1 Disk 3 - It's Loony Toons, watch them, love them. That sad I really enjoyed "The Lost Shorts" extra feature on this disk, it went over some WWII propaganda and was very interesting, another thing of note is one short was borrowed almost shot for shot in Pixar's Monsters Inc. 4/5 stars.

Madame Tutli-Putli - Surreal Canadian stop-motion , fast paced weird and beautiful, I am ordering the DVD 5/5 stars.

I was kinda hoping your review of Big Fish would have been longer than Looney Tunes! I think what I liked the most about the Tiger and the Snow was it wasn't a traditional romantic comedy the ending was enjoyable but not over the top ruin the movie sappy. It also had a large dose of dark humor. Probably the same reason I loved Big Fish. My biggest problem with Touch of Evil I think was I'd just recently watched Citizen Cain again it makes me more critical of anything else by Orson Welles. It was just so good...
