1967 Review Blog
Bonnie & Clyde
Grade: B+ 04/18/2012
A lot of fugitive movies nowadays owe a lot to this film. Beatty and Dunaway are great, and the direction is top notch. For 1967, I was surprised by how subversive and unconventional it was. Natural Born Killers and The Devil's Rejects were obviously offspring of this film...but as I have read...this was a movie that opened the door to these kinds of ultraviolent fugitive tales. Very entertaining with turns by Gene Hackman and Gene Wilder.

The Jungle Book
Grade: C 10/13/2008
Not the most magical of Disney movies, but certainly has its charming moments. I guess this film was just one of those animated movies that is something you either grew up with and consider one of the best, or you see it as an adult and just mildly appreciate it. That good ol' BARE NECESSITIES is a catchy tune and I really enjoyed the Elephant Military march stuff....but otherwise its just a mediocre film in the Disney Animation Pantheon.
