Inglourious Basterds - YouTube |
I'm going to be buried in snow until noon tomorrow. I'm going to nerd out the entire time and watch like ten movies.
http://cdn-3.nflximg.com/us/boxshots/ghd/70206133.jpg The Woman in Black Avoid this at all costs. Seriously. It was a piece of ****. Weird because I thought the directors' first film Eden Lake was pretty well done. Radcliffe should have no career in acting anymore. He's just not good. And don't tell me it's because I only see him as Harry Potter because I only saw the first three films. The dude just can't act. It was like he didn't want to be there. Not even nice aesthetics could save this. 2/10 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...xL._SX500_.jpg The Godfather This is going to come as a shock to most of you but this is on my list of films I just never got around to watching. I don't know if it was the long run time or the fact that I could never catch it on TV but it just eluded for my entire life. I found a good deal on Amazon and bought the restored versions of all three films. I'm not a huge fan of gangster films but how can I say this was anything short of perfect? I prefer Goodfellas but it's a flawless film with powerhouse acting. Great film and now I just have to find another three hours to sit still and watch Part II Lynch/10 http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls...8abo1_1280.jpg Serpico I wanted to continue the Pacino-thon by finally getting to see this one. This was the second film in his legendary four straight Oscar nominations. He was great in this one and I felt he gave a more heartfelt and serious performance than his very good but sporadic role in Dog Day Afternoon. This dragged in parts but it's a Lumet movie which means it was filmed perfectly and had a great ending. 8/10 |

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...black_rock.JPG Bad Day at Black Rock A western with Spencer Tracy and Lee Marvin? Count me in. I liked it. It wasn't perfect and the ending was quick and unsatisfying but it kind of had a cult movie feel where you just couldn't get over the fact that you're watching Tracy in his suit fight with western cowboys. Worth a watch. 6.5/10 |
Ferris Buellers' Day Off.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...rrisdayoff.jpg Watched it last night because I had received word that Netflix had it. It's been forever since I've seen the movie, and it's still as hilarious as when I saw it the first time. |

Hard Candy I didn't find it as disturbing as most people described to me as it being. I thought it was mostly a display of good acting rather than shocking story. I enjoyed it but only for Page and Wilsons' performances. 6/10 |

The Flight of the Phoenix I saw the horrible remake a couple years ago and man does this knock that out of the park. It's a flawed film but overall a pretty damn fine one. The backstory behind it is also very interesting. A stuntman died trying to fly the prototype planes that were used in the film. Jimmy Stewart gives another standout performance and I enjoyed Ernest Borgnine in a limited role. Overall it was a great classic film. 8/10 |
The green lantern in HBO
http://www.mikeafford.com/blog/wp-co...n-reynolds.jpg worst superhero movie ever made, somehow they managed to make the Green lantern suck and that's not easy to do. 2/10 |
Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang (GB/France 2010). The synchronised swimming pigs are really funny.
