Welcome to the Lemmingworks » Cinema is a new page I’ve set up on my blog.

Re: Some Big Budget Hollywood Movies & one classic!

lol. I must say that I'm really trying to avoid hollywood, unless necessary... and necessary would be because they show something about a child's view of the world that would be impossible to find elsewhere. Instead of 7 years, how about that buddhist foodball movie?

The Empire of the Sun might be good. I never saw it, but I'm a JG ballard fan.

Keep 'em coming...

Monsters Inc. Definitely fits in with your criteria, have you seen it? It's about the monsters in your closet.

I'll keep 'em comin' as I think of them, but today I'm on other things.
