Well, I knew it had been a while since I posted my LMS, but I didn't know how long it was. Anyway, here's actually my entire viewing for the month of March, I'll try to be brief:
The Raid: Redemption (2012) 8/10 - Seriously awesome action movie. Not much more.
The Racket (1928) 8.5/10 - Engrossing silent gangster pic. A little to fast at first.
Let There Be Light (1946) 9/10 - Extremely interesting documentary study of psychonuerotic WWII vets by John Huston. Wish there'd been more.
The Master (2012) 10/10 - Second watch even better than the first. I feel like I really understand this movie now. The above doc gives insight.
Rio Bravo (1959) 9.5/10 - Great western. Honestly great all around.
Good Morning, Vietnam (1987) 9/10 - Quite funny, somewhat moving film.
The Great McGinty (1940) 9/10 - Sharp, often laugh-out-loud political satire.
Spellbound (1945) 9/10 - Hitch scores again. Excellent all around as usual. When you think about it, though, it's basically your standard Hitchcock murder story, but with a delusional twist.
Breathless (1960) 9/10 - Definitely a great movie. Didn't really click with me, though. Will have to watch again sometime.
The Breakfast Club (1985) 9/10 - Pretty damn good. Love the style. Little too stereotypical. I know some would say this film proves stereotypes wrong, but it doesn't, it just explains them.
The Karate Kid (1984) 8.5/10 - Don't know what took me so long to see this. Very enjoyable film, even if it's oftentimes very silly.
Killing Them Softly (2012) 8/10 - Had high hopes for this because of Andrew Dominik's last film. Was disappointed. There is some honestly great stuff in here, including top-notch performances from pretty much everyone. But there's no flow. It's very uneven. You can't get into it.
21 Jump Street (2012) 9/10 - I never had any desire to watch this. But I did, and I'm glad. It was hilarious. I don't know, maybe I'm alone here, but I thought this was great.
Sixteen Candles (1984) 8/10 - Pretty good. Very silly, very over-the-top. But sometimes pretty funny, and pretty honest.
Men In Black 3 (2012) 8/10 - A lot better than I expected. Very funny, very enjoyable. Doesn't really get started until J goes back in time. Lot of potential missed. But great fun anyway.
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 and 2 (2012/2013) 8.5/10 - I'm giving the score as an overall. It would be lower otherwise. This definitely needs to be watched back to back. If it is, it's an amazing Batman story.
The Bad News Bears (1976) 10/10 - I did not expect to love this movie as much as I did. Brilliantly crafted picture.
The Hunger Games (2012) 8/10 - Not nearly as bad as expected. Actually quite good. Points deducted for saving character development, plot explanation, and a good ending for the sequels (at least I hope that that stuff will show up at some point. I will admit I've not read any of the books, so I do not know for sure).
Vampire's Kiss (1988) 8/10 - Jesus Christ what the hell is this movie. It took me awhile, but I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be a comedy. At least I hope so. Anyway, Nic Cage gives an outstanding performance that makes this one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Any scene without him falls flat for me. Either way a seriously bat shit crazy movie.
