Fitzcarraldo (1982)



A remarkable film that details entrepreneur Fitzcarraldo's attempts to mine rubber in order to raise money to accomplish his dream -- to build an opera house in the middle of the Peruvian jungle. Eager to see more of Werner Herzog films in future.

>>: A

Sorority Row (2009)



>>: C-

Slightly different from the usual firm films but still a bit muddled...Excellent performance from the 2 leads (especially Liam Boyle) and some nice support from the always excellent Stephen Graham...

Absolutely great Sound tracks too..

Its no masterpiece but I like it. Pretty hard to come by a decent quality tape of it mines a bit beaten up. Shit like 2019: After The Fall Of New York or 2020: Texas Gladiators is way better. Endgame is dope too its a mad mash up of Mad Max, Rollerballl and The Running Man.

Class of 1984

I thought it was a pretty good movie. I think of it as death wish but in a high school.
