| | 1. Because of Blockbuster raising the prices for their online services (at least $7 more for the plan I was on), I recently switched over to NetFlix. The first three films that I received were Krzysztof Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy. The three films (Blue, White, and Red) are based on the colors of the French flag, and are about the themes that the different colors represent. The first is about liberty, the second is about equality, and the third and last is about fraternity. Blue (5/5 Stars) is by far my favorite of the three, followed by Red (4/5 Stars) and then White (3.5/5 Stars).
2. Tonight in my Introduction to Film class we got to watch a classic Charlie Chaplain film called Modern Times, which I thought was really good. It's amazing how it can still entertain and enlighten us today, more than 70 years after it was first showed. (4.5/5 Stars)
3. Michael Curtiz is a prolific director who's name isn't known widely today. Over the years I've seen and loved many of his films, not knowing his name.

4. The poster for The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was just released recently:
