So things have gotten in the way, and I haven't posted my last movies seen in well over a month now. So if you could just bear with my list, I'll try to keep things brief.
The Bourne Identity (2002) 8/10 - A superbly done action film, with some great character moments, too.
The Bourne Supremacy (2004) 8.5/10 - A step up in every way from the first.
The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) 9/10 - The culmination of everything that's good in the Bourne trilogy - it's all here in its best form. And it has such a great ending, that I decided not to see The Bourne Legacy (even though that was the reason I re-watched the the films) because I didn't want the trilogy to be ruined.
Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto (1954) 9/10 - A solid Mifune film. Complete, too, which is surprising as it's one of three.
Samurai II: Duel at Ichijoji Temple (1955) 8.5/10 - Not quite as good as the first. Not as big of a scope.
Samurai III: Duel at Ganryu Island (1956) 8/10 - I was a little disappointed here, as a really expected a better conclusion. The final showdown was exceptional, but I expected more than that. I would say that these final two films are not really necessary.
Hard Eight (1996) 8.5/10 - The last PTA film I needed to see. A damn good picture, with a simple, but engrossing, little story.
Almost Famous (2000) 8.5/10 - Funny, dramatic, intriguing, entertaining, all that stuff. Also a little overrated. I liked it, though.
Drunken Angel (1948) 9/10 - Early Kurosawa piece. Not my favorite, but still, as with all of his movies, extremely well told.
Harlan County, USA (1976) 9.5/10 - A really depressing documentary. Probably one of the best I've seen, though.
The Darjeerling Limited (2007) 8.5/10 - Underrated Wes Anderson flick. Hilarious, and, at times, almost moving.
The Expendables 2 (2012) 7/10 - The best type of ridiculous, cheesy action. Me and my friends were laughing throughout.
Cape Fear (1962) 9/10 - A great suspense film with an exceptional score by Bernard Herman.
Tokyo Story (1953) 10/10 - An extraordinary film with a great, half heartbreaking/half heartwarming story. Scratch that. Mostly heartwarming.
The Seventh Seal (1957) 10/10 - An absolutely incredible film. It's perfect. An instant favorite of mine.
The Hidden Fortress (1958) 9.5/10 - A different type of Kurosawa film - an adventure, and probably one of the best films I've seen in the genre.
Romeo and Juliet (1968) 8/10 - A good, if rather straightforward adaptation. Still the only good R and J film, though.
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 10/10 - In IMAX. Yeah, it was incredible. Certainly solidifies its place as my third favorite film of all time.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) 8.5/10 - I think my opinion of this film improves each time I see it. This time, it felt like another classic. It's very different from the others, but I feel that if they made more Indy films than they had, the majority of them would have been like this - smaller. Still one of the greatest adventure films.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) 9.5/10 - I love this movie so much. It's not as tight as Raiders, and it doesn't have the same grit, but boy is it great. There's just so much to enjoy.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) 7.5/10 - Yes, I'm one of the few people that like this movie. The color and CGI is annoying, but honestly a non-problem. The real issue is that the film feels unfocused - a side affect of all the themes and mythologies they're playing with (Cortez/City of Gold/crystal skulls/Soviets/McCarthyism/greasers/50s nostalgia/aliens/nuclear weapons/getting older/familial relationships). The climax is also too big (take not of the size of the other three), and the amount of sidekicks in the third act takes the spotlight off Indy in a bad way. When all is said and done, though, it's still an entirely enjoyable adventure film.
Wild Strawberries (1957) 9/10 - Not as good as The Seventh Seal, but still great, non-the-less.
The Master (2012) 9.5/10 - A masterfully crafted film. Saw it last night. Absolutely stunning performances. It's detached though, which is causing people to dislike it. I don't mind. It's coldness was on purpose. In the end, though (and I don't mean once it was over, I literally mean the third act), I think it becomes too distant for it's own good. Still, highly recommended. My number two so far this year.
