| Music Man | 92 | Is there a better pure musical than this? Some of the most FUN stage music ever. |
| Spiderwick Chronicles (The) | 68 | Creative children’s fantasy with enough drama for adults. |
| Apollo 13 | 88 | A story told extremely well. Riveting in parts. It’s amazing how many individuals has to do just the right thing to avert disaster. |
| Moulin Rouge! | 94 | Truly one of the best films I’ve ever seen, yet I completely understand how the direction can put people off. The first 15-20 minutes are so filled with quick cuts, it’s like watching a Pee-Wee’s Playhouse on speed. I just happen to like that, so when the story slows down a bit, I’m excited, and it just gets better. And the music – fun and excellent. The “Elephant Love Medley,” “Come What May,” and “One Day I’ll Fly Away” – as well as “The Show Must Go On.” Powerful. |
| Silverado | 75 | Hey, thanks, Shawn! And Mike! Another Western definitely worth watching. I liked the characters, and the many famous actors. Linda Hunt might have been the best. Good one. |
| Wizard of Oz (The) | 95 | How do you rate a classic? Now, after The Writer’s Journey and Wicked, I have even more appreciation for this film. |
The Ideas, Opinions and Musings of Steve Will. For years, I posted every weekday. That stopped quite a while ago, but lately I've been feeling like starting again, though not with the same regularity. I expect my most frequent topics will be movies, TV, and games, but what really started me up again was planning for retirement. I have old posts on learning. Oh, and I used to share photos. Welcome, and enjoy!

Movie Micro-Reviews: Edition 22
Time for another set of micro-reviews. In addition to these, I know we've at least seen "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" again. Maybe a couple other things, too, but we've been mostly watching TV shows, rather than movies, when we have time lately.
