I haven't posted in a while so this might be two huge posts but here's what I've seen the past week or so.



I've never really been into black metal but I loved this documentary. The story of Mayhem and other acts that branched off from them was definitely different than the ones I had heard from word of mouth. The interviews were great and the stories were awesome. Well done.

8/10



Essential film that really revolutionized how films portray historical events. Paul Greengrass must have seen this movie a thousand times because it reminded me of Bloody Sunday. The documentary style filming was great and I liked how the film was shown from both sides with minimal bias. Great film.

8/10



I think this was the last film where Kubrick collaborated with a cinematographer. It showed. I liked the film but I could really tell that Kubrick was limited in what he wanted to do with the shots. The ending was great.

8/10



Very important film to watch. I will say that it was like taking a sleeping pill at times but it was because of the way the film progressed rather than because it was boring. A very slow burn that had hilarious dialogue at times and a great ending.

8/10



I wasn't too impressed with this one but there were a few scenes that were interesting. I think this is the first film I've seen Mickey Rourke in before he looked like a monkey. He became a much better actor later on.

5.5/10



My least favorite Coen brothers film besides Lady Killers. I do however believe this film will grow on me. I need to watch it again.

6/10



I was very surprised by this one. My girlfriend wanted to see it really bad and I thought it was going to be horrible but I knew it had gotten good reviews. It was very funny. I laughed a lot and I don't usually like comedies. It wasn't as good as say Superbad or Step Brothers but it's definitely the funniest movie this year.

7/10



This was a huge bag of meh. Some scenes were okay and entertaining but overall it wasn't very good. The ending was interesting though.

5/10



One of the better documentaries I've seen recently. Through footage shot by the reporters themselves as it was happening, the whole film tells of what really goes on in military run Burma. It was an eye opening look into a country we really can't look at.

9/10



Average political drama. I expected more out of Watts and Penn after seeing them in 21 Grams. Just very forgettable.

5/10
