70 The Beaver (2011) - Feb 09, 2012
Mini-Review: A superb performance from Mel Gibson. It's too bad the guy's a haven for controversy because he really is a very good actor. Other areas fall flat, namely the awful subplot involving Anton Yelchin and Jennifer Lawrence.
90 Aguirre: The Wrath of God (1972) - Feb 07, 2012
Mini-Review: I have never seen a film like this one. Certainly a work of art in some ways. Just the whole story of how it was made, how Herzog and his crew were restricted and had to adapt to their environment, is amazing. One thing I have to comment on is the score. Really awesome.
80 A Place in the Sun (1951) - Feb 06, 2012
Mini-Review: I really can't figure out how I feel about this one. It isn't very engrossing but there's a lot to like about it - Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor together, Shelley Winters, some excellent scenes and things like that.
85 Pretty Baby (1978) - Feb 06, 2012
Mini-Review: Interesting film. Impressive work by Louis Malle. There's also great performances by Susan Sarandon and especially Brooke Shields in one of the best child performances ever.
30 Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011) - Feb 05, 2012
Mini-Review: The only reason why I waste eight bucks on crap like this is dedication. And I don't even have a fucking job.
90 The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) - Feb 04, 2012
Mini-Review: Maybe the score is a little high but - For the first part of the film, a lot of what we get is backstory which I presume sets up the rest of the series and it should be boring but somehow it is not, I guess because David Fincher is a talent. And when the mystery does start, it's excellent from there with winning performances from Craig, Mara and Skarsgard. The ending does feel really drawn out, though.
85 The Seventh Seal (1957) - Feb 04, 2012
Mini-Review: (watched february 3, 2012 forgot to rank it fuck!) I have never seen a movie like this one. I guess I forgot to rank it because I wanted to think it over more in my head, but there are some incredible, startling images here. The first shot of Death is one of the greatest things ever. Max von Sydow is damn good and the dialogue is very nice. A film that can only grow on me, I presume.
75 The Guard (2011) - Feb 03, 2012
Mini-Review: Pretty good. Brendan Gleeson is excellent but Don Cheadle struck me as remarkably flat for being a guy I like so much. It's not laugh out loud funny but some of the dialogue is totally on point (if you can make it out anyway HA!).
95 Stop Making Sense (1984) - Feb 02, 2012
Mini-Review: If I could go to any concert in history, it would probably be this one. Considering how much energy there is coming through Demme's camera, I can only imagine how much energy there is at the real thing. There are so many great moments in this concert both audio and visual. I just can't choose a favorite moment. If you watch this and your head isn't bobbing the entire time then something is certainly wrong with you. I don't know. This film is really awesome.
50 Happy New Year (1987) - Feb 01, 2012
Mini-Review: It sounds cruel but I think this film was rightfully forgotten. It's a middling comedy with maybe a couple laughs at most. It picks up towards the end in the heist sequence, but that's it. Peter Falk is pretty good, but I don't know if he's worth the time this film requires.
