Thank You for Smoking

a movie with the balls to say "smoking saved my life!" Really entertaining.

This is, and probably always will be, one of my favorite action movies. John McClane is just a cool character, period. I can't way for Die Hard 4, which is in the works (I hear it may be getting released as 'Live Free or Die Hard'.) Good story, good action, good direction, good violence... There isn't really anything negative for me to say about this movie...

A-
So why the A-? I'm not being a smartass, I'm really curious.

Blood slowly runs down my chest,Mezmerized by my pale skin yet you look impressed.
You raise the knife above my chest,Wispering words to my heart of theft.Welcome to the my world,The blade of that knife is the last thing my heart held.

A- is a great grade from me as I am generally very stingy with A's. I think I have only given 1 A in the past year (Original TCM). I reserve the top grade for very exceptional films. Anything I list as an A- is an really awesome movie, just not quite in the 'work of art' range.

I see, very good.

My weekend list:

- Horror Express

- Die Hard

I explained that wrong. I reserve A+ for the work of art type movies and that is what I've only given 1 of in the past year. A & A- are both still excellent films but they just quite aren't there at that higher pedestal. I think I gave this one an A- simply for the fact that there are a handful of better action films out there that aren't masterpieces and they will need a place to go if that makes sense.


Here's all the A's I've given out....




A+

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original)



A

A Bronx Tale
Band of Brothers (Mini-Series)
Dog Soldiers
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Made
Shallow Grave
Snatch
Team America: World Police



A-

Army of Darkness
Bad Taste
Batman Begins
Cinderella Man
The Devil's Rejects
Die Hard
Elf
Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn
Ginger Snaps
Happy Gilmore
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Metropolis
Return of the Living Dead
Rosemary's Baby
Saw 2
Super Troopers
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Wolf Creek
Wrong Turn
