You can tell Clint Eastwood is getting old by all of the "retired" characters he plays who are pressed back into service, as in this early '80s effort. It's one of Eastwood's lesser action entries, in which he served as both star and director. He plays a retired fighter pilot who is enlisted by the U.S. government to infiltrate the Soviet Union (back in the days when it was still an Evil Empire) and steal an ultra-top-secret fighter plane with all kinds of superior capabilities (back when the Stealth bomber was still a struggling prototype). Sure, no problem. Except that it takes forever to actually get Clint into the plane--and once he's got it, he keeps interrupting the fighter-plane sequences (the best thing about the movie) to land the thing and have fistfights and gunfights....

I only recently watched this movie for the first time and found it to be a wonderful tale, although a different departure for Disney. I have read the books, The Chronicles of Prydain, and count them as being one of the best fantasy series' ever written. This movie is called The Black Cauldron but is really a combination of that book and The Book of Three. However I'm not going to sit here and compare the movie to the books. That would be a travesty.
To begin, the animation of this film is simpley breathtaking. This was the most expensive animated film of its era and it is definitely noticeable. The juxtaposition of color and darkness bring an eerie feeling of happiness mixed with foreboding and dread.
Federico Fellini's 1984 And the Ship Sails On is one of the late master's most fanciful projects, while simultaneously striking one of the most somber notes in the director's filmography. The year is 1914, the eve of World War I and the coming destruction of Europe's old, cultured aristocracy, an elite class mourned in many a film from Renoir's The Grand Illusion to Truffaut's The Green Room. A luxury liner sets sail from Italy, full of artists, a royal entourage, and one rhinoceros. The point of the voyage is to scatter the ashes of a world-famous diva, but the exotic passengers--blithely unaware of the imminent conflict--have many, more private intrigues going on behind closed doors. Still, it is the self-containment and formality of these travelers,...
