Been awhile since I've posted.
The Game of Death (1978) 4/10 - I think I might be too generous with this score. This movie is awful, stupid, and offensive. And, yet, it's very funny. And, you know, Bruce Lee does actually show up at the end and kick ass in that yellow jumpsuit.
M (1931) 10/10 - Absolutely perfect film. Superbly crafted. Ahead of its time.
A Shot in the Dark (1964) 8.5/10 - Really quite funny. Makes you wonder why they had to go back to doing Pink Panther films for Clouseau.
Gojira (1954) 9/10 - It's not just a dumb monster movie! In fact, it's not even a monster movie. It's actually just a really good movie.
A Bronx Tale (1993) 9/10 - Very good "tale." Makes me wish De Niro directed more, and acted less nowadays (though don't think he wasn't good in this - he was great [and his acting career has seen a return to form very recently {see bottom}]).
Bottle Rocket (1996) 9/10 - Sweet, funny, entertaining, oddly moving little film.
Videodrome (1983) 9/10 - Equal parts freaking weird and cool.
Blow Out (1981) 10/10 - This is a wow. I don't know why I haven't seen this before. Simply outstanding all around. Highly recommended film. Instantly one of my favorites of all time. If you haven't seen it, do.
This Film Is Not Yet Rated (2006) 8/10 - As if I didn't hate the MPAA enough. This really is eyeopening in some ways, yet disappointing in others. I just feel there was some much more they could have done on the topic. Still, very good doc.
Blue Velvet (1986) 10/10 - Amazing, dreamy noir. And a David Lynch film I can actually entirely understand! (I think) Great film.
The Virgin Spring (1960) 9/10 - Great, if not hard to watch, Bergman film. Seriously, this guy is great - need to watch more of his stuff.
Brokeback Mountain (2005) 10/10 - I don't know why it took me so long to watch this, but all I can say is that all the praise is well deserved. And we truly did lose something great when Heath Ledger died.
Silver Linings Playbook (2012) 9.5/10 - Funny and sweet, yet still deep, highly entertaining, purposefully, and wisely, off-kilter film. I loved it. All the acting was especially great, including the aforementioned De Niro in his best role since who knows when. Deserves all the Oscar noms it got. Jennifer Lawrence deserves the win, too (though maybe Chastain - I'm torn).
