:: During my visit in Oxford, I went to see two movies for fun: The Last Samurai and Peter Pan. Now you would think that of the two, Peter Pan would be the children's movie, but I was surprised to find it the other way around.

The Last Samurai is a nice movie to watch if you have nothing better to do; the camera/art direction is excellent, the movie is beautiful to watch, but not much more. I still think that Tom Cruise made only two movies worth paying for: Top Gun and A Few Good Men.

Peter Pan, on the other hand, is not a fun children's movie, as the young cast and a handsome Jeremy Sumpter in the main role might lead you to think at the first glance. Rather it is full of dark undercurrents. The acting could have been improved upon, but the script stayed true too the book and made this movie more interesting than I thought at first.
