Thank You for Smoking

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

Yeah! Die Hard kicks ass! I've always appreciated how it takes about 20 minutes to set up the characters and then spends the next 65 minutes killing terrorists imaginative ways. 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.

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.

I haven't seen Die Hard yet...this makes me want to see it bad.

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
