Westside Story
Frankenstein
The Bride of Frankenstein
The Mighty Peking Man

Once again, we’ll tell you which films we liked the most and the least.

The Best:

Kim – My favorite movie out of the ones we’ve most recently watched would have to be Westside story. However, I really liked the majority of these films. I really liked Westside Story because first of all, I really like musicals, and since I have not seen all of Singing in the Rain, I did not include it when making my decision. I found that Westside Story was easier to remember, and the catchy songs made it so much easier to want to watch it again in again. My only disappointment would be the voiceovers during the songs.

Colleen – Out of all the movies we’ve been watching I think my favorite has been A Clockwork Orange. It honestly was the most different movie I’ve ever seen but its awkwardness was some how interesting. Compared to the other films, as I’ve said, it was different but the main character followed an interesting plot line and helped keep me interested. I think that whenever you consider watching the film you need to keep the atmosphere of the film in mind. It’s not a film that will increase a happy mood or really even a sad on at that.. It leaves you feeling almost with little feeling at all. But it still was my favorite film of them al.  

The Worst:

Kim – My least favorite so far, is The Mighty Peking Man. I don’t hate the movie, but to compare it to all the films we have watched, I just can’t give it the same appreciation. I liked that even with the little amount they had to work with; they were still able to pull it off to make a pretty good movie. Some of the scenes were just so unbelievable that they were incredible. It was so amusing to watch, and really kept you watching to see what crazy thing was going to happen next. The worst part about this film is that the dubbing was horrible throughout, and the background screen was really unrealistic.

Colleen – I agree with Kim. I didn’t really enjoy The Mighty Peking Man as much as the others because it wasn’t as high quality. I felt they did a great job with what they could.. But it still just wasn’t enough to make it outstanding. I also agree that dubbing wasn’t very good. I mean it was dubbed from Japanese to English but it ended up being mostly funny and it made it a little harder to pay attention to the storyline. I also felt that it was very similar to King Kong and it made to wonder how original was the movie really..
