Holy shit. I haven't been that terrified by a movie since I saw The Exorcist. Everything about it is scary - the concept of a father killing his family, Jack Nicholson's performance, the "shining", "Redrum", the soundtrack, the scenery, the camera work, the crazy images that pop up like this...



What the fuck is that?

This is a movie that will haunt me for years to come. 9/10.

I really need to get around to seeing more Kubrick. I've really enjoyed everything I've seen.

I've now seen what I believe to be his 5 *classic* films.

I rank them...

A Clockwork Orange > The Shining > 2001: A Space Odyssey > Dr. Strangelove > Full Metal Jacket

Saw The Avengers tonight...... didn't like it. I didn't hate it either really.... just thought it was insanely average. Just the typical mindless superhero movie where you can turn off your brain for 2 and a half hours, and just watch pointless action scenes. Deft. not going on the list of best superhero movies of all-time.... The Dark Knight still beats em all.

I've been using movies as my main form of procrastination over the last few days. I have watched:

Unbreakable - 8/10
I usually hate M. Night Shyamalan but I had heard good things about this movie and I was in the mood for a superhero film. I really enjoyed it. Great performances from Willis and Jackson, and a twist ending that genuinely surprised me. I'd say this is his best movie.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - 9/10
I've been slowly working my way through Charlie Kaufman films. I had seen this one before but it was a lot better on the second viewing. Such an original plot and the characters are great. The relationship between Joel and Clementine is believable and great to watch. The background characters like Mark Ruffalo and Kirsten Dunst were also interesting so it kept me captivated.

Gangs of New York - 7/10
This was one of the few Scorsese films I hadn't seen and I was excited as I love all three of the leads. The story is very good and it's a piece of history that I haven't seen on the big screen before. Daniel Day Lewis is fantastic as The Butcher, a real interesting and three dimensional performance. But DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz are just plain boring in this film, they were very dull and this was clear when they were alongside Daniel Day Lewis.

Yeah. I know your side on TDK. While I agree with you, elements may are undoubtably similar to other movies, what TDK accomplishes is still brilliant - the action scenes were amazing, the dialogue was not just one dimensional and cliched (for the most part) and the chemistry between the leads was brilliant. Take away the similarities of Heat and you are still left with an amazing movie that I think did what no other superhero movie has done before or since... the dialogue is great and keeps you interested - something The Avengers did not have.

The Avengers was typical Marvel movie, a good action scene, long dialogue, another action scene, more dialogue, another action scene, the end.

Though The Avengers had promise for a great movie, and may be like what Batman Begins was, an introduction to a series that will get better as it goes. Though Batman Begins was still a much better and more interesting film.

The Avengers was just your typical recycled plot, typical characters (the one who is team oriented, the rebel who only listens to himself, and the rest)

The 3D is the last thing... just felt like 3D for the sake of having 3D, never felt like it enhanced the movie, a few times it was cool.. but for the most part, found it pointless.
