The African Queen

My Thoughts:

-    This was a really good movie. I was surprised! It was thrilling and very entertaining.

-    I finally get the Humphrey Bogart appeal! Even though he was really dirty and grimy for most of the movie, he was kind of attractive. I think it is because his character was a real man! He did what he had to do, and he didn't complain. This is my new favorite Bogart role!

-    I don't believe for a second that Charlie was English. Bogart is 100% American. His accent was so non-English!

-    Katherine Hepburn was perfect as always! She has such strength, and only Katherine could have pulled off a role like this!

-    I was surprised at how much I laughed during the movie. The banter between Charlie and Rosie was really fun, and the hippo part cracked me up!

-    I wonder if this is based on a true story. I hope it is. The plot was simple, but it was very thrilling to watch these 2 characters battle the river and nature. 

-    The ending was perfect! 

Casablanca

My Thoughts:

-    This is supposed to be one of the greatest movies ever, and I've never seen it.  Well, I fixed that.

-    I was a bit confused for a while, and I'll have to watch it again to catch more.  I didn't understand the whole refugee thing, and what military controlled what.

-    It was the best I've seen of Humphrey Bogart.  He still looked old, but his acting was better.

-    Was Else in love with both men?  She seemed pretty smitten with Rick, but she was still attached to the other guy too.  

-    Every time I heard a famous line, I got excited.  Bogart said "Here's lookin' at you kid" like 4 times. 

-    I liked Sam. 

-    Is there any way for them to restore this to color?

-    Overall, I enjoyed the movie.  I didn't think it was amazing, but I liked it.

Tyson's Thought:

-    My spicy chicken sandwich and the slinky I was playing with was the best part of the movie.
