Shrek 2
my favorite of all the Shrek films (followed by 1 and 4), I love Donkey and Puss in this one, the humor's excellent plus the movie's elevated to an astonishing level once we hear and see "I Need a Hero" in context. It still sends shivers down my spine, Gregson-Williams score mixed in between such a wonderful song. Brilliant
8 out of 10
I give it 9 out of 10. I thought it was absolutely fantastic! Anyway, I think we arrange the movies in the same order of preference.
My ratings:
Shrek 1: 8
Shrek 2: 9
Shrek 3: 7
Shrek 4: 8

JS (JUST SEEN): THE NATIVITY STORY (2006)
The film leaves a little too be desired. Too pious, with too much stylized reverence to make it believeable. I love Bible history and films, and I'm Christian myself, but I prefer those who depart from the Biblical prose and that try to make it as realistically as possible, like PASSION OF THE CHRIST. The Disney star shining down on the barn in the birth scene and so on. It's too much based on established Christian imagery and tableaux. In short, it's a little too saccharine.
The score is wonderful, though. Great world music vibes and the choral music for the birth scene, as well as the rendition of "Stille Nacht" is absolute bliss. Not the kind of religious music I am known to love, but beautiful nonetheless. Towards the end of the end credits, there is also an appearance of one of my favourite alltime psalms - "Es ist Ein Rose Einsprungen". It's been overplayed over the years, but it still makes me well up:

It's an odd film. It seems like they set out to 'do it real', and ended up doing as much of a storybook version as has ever been done. Mychael Danna gilds the lily beautifully in his score however. (If you're going to tug the heartstrings with music, that's how you do it.)

Yeah, true. It was late and I had a headache (still do). But I agree about the strange duality. Some of the environments are clearly meant to be taken with historical accuracy.I am extremely serious. -

These serials are really fun to watch. One of the musical underscore scenes begins with the introduction to The Sorcerer's Apprentice and then it blends in with Salter Mummy music. Also the Schubert Unfinished Symphony seems to be popular.listen to more classical music! -

GOODFELLAS ( 1990 Martin Scorsese )
Excellent cast of Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci & Ray Liotta, charts the rise of a young boy, he's on the wrong side of the road but gets smart and becomes a wiseguy and ends up boss of a famous pizza chain.
Great fun for all the family.
Highly recommended 10/10On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I really love Goodfellas. There are few films I've watched more often.
One of those few is Apocalypse Now, which I watched on Saturday. It's possibly my favourite film. This was the Redux version, which I'm not too sure about, watching that one for the second time. Possibly adds just a bit too much. (Looks spectacular on Blu Ray!)
Anyway, it's always worth repeating - Coppola's output in the 1970s - the first two Godfathers, The Conversation, Apocalypse Now (and he even wrote Patton). Has anyone else (in Hollywood at least) directed four truly great films during a single decade? -

I want say Spielberg because in the 80's we got Raiders, E.T. and Empire of the Sun (and if anyone doesn't think this is a blippin' masterpiece needs to get their head examined.) While he didn't get screen credit for Poltergeist we all know who directed that one.

These don't really compare, but...
With the Hollywood tag on it, I'd probably have to say... Martin Scorsese.
90s - Goodfellas, Age of Innocence, Casino, Kundun --- and Bringing out the Dead ain't bad by any means. (Cape Fear isn't a favourite of mine.)
And jumping back to another Spielberg era...
70s - Duel, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jaws... and what a pity Raiders only got out in '81.
If Malick ends up finishing all the films he's making right now, he might make another candidate in the present decade.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

If you want to be a good film critic, you pretty much have to be a self-aware film historian. But not always on the production side. It's more helpful to some people than to others. Scorsese likes to make his editor watch old films all the time in the editing room to inform creative choices. What little I hear of Fincher as a director says that he's heavy on references too. But there are as many, if not more, who discovered a distinctive approach without that frame of reference.
