empire of the sun

The hillside strangler.

Not a great movie but it was pretty full on, i watched it with my girlfriend, not sure if that was the right choice.

4/10

I was wondering why I hadn't heard of it 'til a few weeks ago...

The Godfather Part II

Ive been putting this off for so long its not even funny - the boxset has been on my shelf for around a year and a half, and until tonight I'd only watched the first one:o

Great movie...not quite as good as the first, but close.

El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) (2006)

Holy shit. This is quality filmmaking. Horrifying, beautifully dark, powerful, and disturbing. And the cinematography was breathtaking.

The Descent (2006)

I watched it with a couple of friends who hadn't seen it before. They aren't horror nuts like me, so they haven't been as desensitized as I have, and those kind of people are always more fun to watch horror with. It was a blast.

A Bridge Too Far
>>: B+

Lost Highway: Loved it, but I prefer Mulholland Dr.

Quest for Camelot (1998) 8 / 10

The Black Dahlia. While I appreciate what de Palma was trying to do with his homage to film noir, in execution this film was terribly flawed. It was as if they tried to cram every element of the book into two hours, and it left the film a muddled mess. The main character's obsessive internal monologue was about the only high point here. And just let me say this: if there was ever a person who was miscast in the role of the femme fatale, it would be Hillary Swank in this film. She is a decent actress, but she was horribly miscast in this one. Avoid. Overall: 2/10

Gridiron Gang this movie is extra cheesy. 5/10
