Destino (2003)

Nudity in a Disney film ... Even though I knew Dali collaborated on it, I can't say I saw that coming. It doesn't bother me, though; I wish the company had the balls to pull stuff like this more often, to be quite honest. 

8/10

Death Becomes Her (1992)

Bruce Willis makes this movie. I'm not what you'd call a fan of the guy, but his against-type performance as a snivelling, alcoholic dweeb is played to perfection. It really makes me wish Willis would play these types of characters more often; the macho tough guy he plays in almost all his other movies has long since become a bore to watch.

8/10

Dumber & Dumber (1994)

Apparently I watched the unrated version. I suppose that may be the reason why this movie feels more juvenile and uneven than it did when I watched it last, way back in -- what? 2003? 2004? Or perhaps I've just outgrown the movie a bit.

Oh, well, whatever the case may be, I still enjoy Carrey and Daniels' performances, childish though they may be 99% of the time.

7.5/10

Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991)

It seems that lately, whenever I watch a movie I liked in childhood for the first time in years, it often doesn't seem to hold up as well as it did when I was younger; either it comes off as insipid to me, or I simply find myself not as entertained by it as I once was.

On rarer occassions, though, when I rewatch a movie I didn't like all that much as a kid, I may find that it's improved over the years.

In this case, this movie falls into the latter category. I can't say why, exactly -- God knows this movie's nothing special -- but something about it that didn't work for me as a kid just clicks for me now.

8/10

Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (1997)

Tim Curry's performance in this is simply excellent. If only the same could be said for the rest of the movie ...

6/10

Adventures in Babysitting (1987)

I think about 55% of this film's appeal lies with Elisabeth Shue and her gorgeous hairstyle.

*swoon*
