Rango!

I know it might be considered a childish movie but I must admit... It was good. I watched it in lack of anything else at first and it just got interesting after a while. And really, it's not such a big deal to like animated cartoons either, not that I watch a lot of them but this one was good. I like Johnny Depps voice because he can sort of act with it. The creatures looked very good and the story wasn't bad either. I wouldn't recommend it to "adults" (or rather, people who stopped watching cartoons a while ago) just like that but if anyone younger want's to go to the movies to see it, come with them because it's definitely better than some of the movies for children these days.
I've also watched "Fitzcarraldo" this week or if it was the one before. Time just flies by. Anyway, "Fitzcarraldo" is apparently based on a true story, according to imdb, and it's about a man called Fitzcarrldo who loves opera and not only that but he desperately want to build an operahouse  in the jungle. The problem is he needs money and he has a extraordinary idea on how to make that money...
The movie is quite long, 158 minutes (again, one has to love imdb), but it also has quite a slow pace so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who would rather watch a fast paced action movie It's both written and directed by Werner Herzog whom also directed and wrote "Nosferatu" from 1979 (not the original that is). Oh, and one more thing, if you read anything else about "Fitzcarraldo" it'll probably be a spoiler, you have been warned.
