Get to it! My next choice is between Mulholland Dr., K-Pax, Raising Arizona, Up, and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Thoughts?

I need to, I like Robert Downy JR. Maybe I'll watch it tonight or something. Tough one. Mulholland Drive is my favourite out of the list, although if you fancy a bit of British gangster crime Lock Stock is the obvious winner. Either of those two. I think you should watch both. Up is a good Disney film, Raising Arizona is one I haven't seen, although I own it. It's still in its rapper I think, and I never really fancied K-Pax. |

you can see glimpses of scorcese's greatness but that is about it. a dumb story coupled with next to no surprises and laughably terrible fighting scenes. on the latter note, it is amazing how de niro manages to walk around and bitch about being shot in the neck. and the guy earlier that gets shot in the chest 2-3 times then gives the shooter a bear hug while walking through a restaurant then gets shot 2-3 more times and then continues to repeat this action a bit more before finally dying. i am surprised i managed to get through all of this. some of the dialogue was pretty good. a good deal of this film was framed poorly, but i guess scorcese developed his knack for doing the opposite later. |

Mean Streets was great, a simple story about loyalty to a friend combined with wanting to move up. Deniro manages to walk around like he does because of who his friend is. Really good film, not great but it certainly show cases Scorsese's talents and shows techniques he uses in later films. You've actually reminded me, I need to get Mean Streets on DVD and add it to my collection.

Adventureland.
Very good, possibly my favourite film out of that whole 'franchise' so far. Well, was Pineapple Express done by the same director? I dont even know, if it was then it's my second favourite. But yeah, this was so, so good, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't majorly turned on by Kristen Stewart in a Lou Reed t-shirt. Dayum. |

always liked the first one. this is the second. it had its moments, but overall it was disappointing. maybe i just wasn't in the mood for it...
