Planes, Trains, and Automobiles 7/10

A great buddy comedy starring two of the great's Steve Martin and John Candy R.I.P

Unforgiven

Bill Munny is one of the best film villains ever...and he's the damned lead! Pitch-perfect filmmaking and the title says it all. Every character in this movie is headed straight to hell.

10/10

Suspect


Wanted to watch something today, have netflix so we went to the "watch it now" section, and it was listed as 5 stars.

Cher
Liam Neeson
Dennis Quaid

pretty damn good. The library scene is one of the most tense, nailbiting scenes i have witnessed in a long time, and it didnt involve anything more than someone looking for a book for someone else, and a third party watching them. Really good and unexpectd. nice twist ending too.

It was no Primal Fear, but it was very good.

Wilderness
7/10
nice n' gritty. well done i liked it alot.

Tetsuo: Iron Man
7/10
strange and dark, and rather funny sometimes. surrealist cinema at it's best.

Election (1999)

They were playing this at the campus theatre here in Iowa, and as it's only my second day, and I haven't really met anyone yet, I thought I'd check it out. Hell, it was free.

And you know what? I really enjoyed it. It was a solid comedy sprinkled with deadly serious themes and tones- one of those movies were you don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Anyway, worth a watch.

Alpha Dog is based on a true story and the 5'5" 150 lb kid is similar to the real drug dealer kid (jesse james hollywood).... Sounds like a fake name but that was his real name. I liked the movie... This is the actual case that they based the movie from.

grrrr......complete waste of time!:mad:

The Departed, first time viewing.
While I would say this doesn't hold a candle to Goodfellas, it was still a pretty good watch, all parts played well.
Nice amount of splatter thrown in.
I personally don't think it was the masterpiece some people have made it out to be, but it was entertaining.
I was a little confused as to why the Whalberg cop character shot...that person...towards the end? What angle was he playing there?

Makes me want to check out the infernal affairs series.
Will they sequel this one too?

Pixar's Cars 9/10

Vacancy 6.5/10

This one annoyed/puzzled me. It starts great and unashamedly predictable (which works well). However I found myself wondering why the couple werent trying to make weapons to protect themselves from the get-go...Just seemed idiotic to me. Also it ends so abruptly which is a let down.
