I apparently watch the Bad News Bears remake and found it hilarious. I remember nothing. That was a black out night.

The last film I saw was Django Unchained. Two points remain:

1) I love Tarantino.
2) I believe he gets better and better with time.

Now that it's out on home media, I guess it would.be a good time to make a movie war between Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds, since there's so much to compare.

I actually wanted to see that when it came out. Maybe I was just hoping for more of Bad Santa.

I honestly couldn't say. All I CAN say is that I vomited the entire day following. Whether it was the film or the insane amount of whiskey in my system caused that is left to be determined.



The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Great film. John Houston directs his father Walter and the great Humphrey Bogart in this film about greed and paranoia that greatly influenced PT Andersons There Will Be Blood credited by the fact that he screened the film over and over again while making the film. Everybody that usually reads my posts in this thread knows that while I'm a film fanatic, I arrived late to the party. For this reason i haven't seen many western films. I still have The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly on blu ray sitting on my shelf for me to watch. That day is going to come soon given the fact that I'm starting to love western movies. I liked this better than Shane and The Searchers. It was great watching Bogart change his whole character as the film progressed. He's becoming one of my favorite old time actors.

4/5



Lincoln

I'm going to have to watch this again. I found it a bit boring and the amount of characters to keep track of was a chore to uphold. I found a lot of enjoyable moments and aspects of the film though. DDL was incredible. I still thought Joaquin Phoenix was better in The Master but there is nothing wrong with DDL as Lincoln. Hell, the dude WAS Lincoln. I actually felt like I was watching our 16th president the entire time. he supporting cast was great including Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Field. The score and direction was great but the screenplay was just a bit flat for my taste. I wanted a bit more background on everything that was taking place but that would have resulted in a much longer film and could just be my fault for not paying a lot of attention in History class. I'll definitely give this a second watch some time because I feel there is a much better film hidden under a pretty good film.

3.5/5

Also, I'm going to bet that Spielberg does an American Revolution movie in the near future. Vietnam has been done to death and he's done everything else (War Horse, Saving Private Ryan). I'm calling it now.

I agree with pretty much everything you've said here, though I probably would give it an even lower rating. The acting was great, but beyond that the movie didn't engage me at all.

Paths of Glory

This was great, a much better and more believable WWI film than All Quiet On The Western Front (though that film was good for its time). Loved the cinematography as always, though there weren't many idiosyncratic "Kubrick shots" other than near the end. For a 1950's war film, I can't see it getting much better than this. 8/10

I saw Pain and Gain today and it actually surprised me. I heard ****ty reviews before I went to see it but when I found out it was based off of a true story. Out of the main three characters, I feel like The Rock gave the best performance and the whole time I just loved hating Tony Shaloub as an *******, he played it too well. Also at the end with the credits they show off the real people that the story happened to. I think most of the hate was only due to it being a Micheal Bay film but it wasn't bad except for the few jittery cam shots during chase scenes.

"The Witches" (aka The Devil's Own). Taped it on Turner Classics. Silly mid '60s Hammer flick, could have been better, wasn't bloody nor scarey even by the standards of the day. Liked the witchy ritual dance towards the end if only for the primitive musical instruments.

Circe

This was brilliant. Never watch it.
