The Invisible Woman (1942)

Takes the universal monsters formula and turns it into a great comedy. Very fun cast!

Henry V (1944)

Well, This was actually my first viewing of any Henry V adaptation (that I remember). First off, I am a sucker for Technicolor. I freaking love it!
I really enjoyed the whole performance aspect of it. I really want to see a different version that might play out like a regular film. I'm gonna check out Branagh's version. Great opening and great battle scene. Olivier did a good job, but it wasn't really much different to me than some of his other Shakespeare performances It felt a bit dated at times, but I really enjoyed it overall. . Looking forward to seeing more!

Be With Me

Be With Me (2005)

It didn't feel so much like 3 shorts, but one film telling 3 stories. Love is the underlining theme of them all. Finding, losing, and wanting love. It's a very minimal film with very little dialog. The first story (Meant To Be) is the story of a man who's wife is in the hospital. After she passes he must cope with his lost love. So In Love follows two young girls falling in love with other, and Finding Love deals with a security guard who is falling for a woman who works in the same building as he does. He can't share his feelings with her. He feels unworthy of her because of his weight. I never really connected with any these stories. They were all three a slice of life with no back story. That part worked, but I just did not really care about any of them. Maybe I was in to good of a mood at the time to be brought down, or maybe I just didn't give it a chance. I know a second viewing will determine my final thoughts, but I'm just not sure I will ever be in the mood again.
