In anticipation of this second viewing, I watched Badlands, Days of Heaven, and The Thin Red Line (I saw The New World when it came out). I think Days of Heaven was my favorite of the three...

Days of Heaven - 10/10

The movie Days of Heaven is very close to the life of my great-great-great-great grandmother, Murtle Gullion. (the girl character in Days of Heaven) Many people in my family have questioned whether or not somebody knew about her life, and wanted a film made.

Here's some pictures that my mom has of her:

She was an odd duck.

Your great-great-great-great grandmother? That makes me feel old. My grandfather on my mom's side was born in 1899.

Give or take a generation.

Weird Science, of the best from the 80's.

10 Valls out of 10

lol

Shouldn't that be five Valls out of five (using Roman numerals)?

The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations. Not as good as the first, not as bad as the second; 5/10.

Rubber.

I expected a story about a self-aware tire that goes on a rampage.

I did not expect a story about a self-aware tire that goes on a rampage where the tire makes the most sense of anything in the movie.

7 binoculars out of 10.

    Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

    I was surprised by how good it was. Excellent origin story that covers the bases. Computer Images worked well for me, also.

    My Uncle lived in SanFran. He's the type of guy who couldn't help making lots of friends. I've been out there several times with my family. It was fun to see that beautiful area displayed on the big screen.

    5 well deserved balls out of 5.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Awesome. The ending is the one of my favorites movie endings of all time. I have the special edition set which comes with the screenplay and the film cell.

Get on with it!

My sister bit a mousse once.

[Rec]2

Damn I love these [Rec] movies.  This is what horror should be, and they're also some of the better uses of first person camera / found footage / whateveryoucallit film style.

The only quibble I had was at the very end of the movie there was a brief Ric Olie moment, showing us something that was already clear.  Although I will admit it was pretty creepy and disgusting, it wasn't needed.

I suppose you could argue the subplot with the kids sneaking into the building wasn't necessary other than to get the runtime up to feature length, but I was ok with it...and I did like how it converged with the primary story.

9 flying blowup dolls out of 10.

The Lincoln Lawyer-servicable, not good not bad just meh. 2 awkward zoom balls out of 4.

Does it still have that annoying deleted scene in it?

A few years ago I bought a reissue of the film with a ton of cool extra stuff, only to discover it had that dumb deleted scene in it, as a result I have still hung onto my non-anamorphic copy.

I don't mind the deleted scene.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

3 damn dirty apes out of 4.

I found the ending to be a bit weak but had fun along the way. Visually the film was flawless but the story could have done with some tightening.

Hey Anchorhead, did you ever see this?
