Movies for 2011

1) Into the woods. Stage production. Famous fairy tale characters come together in Sondheim's musical. Bernadette Peters stars. Really entertaining, music very complex. Little Red Riding hood steals the show.(p)

2) Fiddler on the Roof. Traditions are changing everywhere as Tevye the Dairyman deals with five daughters and Russian Pogroms. (p)

3) The Many Faces of Christopher Lee. The veteran actor talks about his career, and shows off trophies of it, including Dracula's ring and the last extant piece of the Wicker Man. (N/A)

4) The Legend of Billie Jean. When the rich kids trash her brother's scooter, Billie Jean wages a one-girl crusade for justice. Helen and Christian Slater, Yeardley Smith looking all of 10. And one of the best Pat Benatar songs ever.(p)

5) Dreams in the Witch House. One of the Masters of Horror series, this gorey, sexualized Lovecraqft adaptation actually works quite well. A student rents the cheapest room he can find, only to be haunted by the long-dead Keziah and her familiar, Brown Jenkin. (f, 2)
