Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) - Rated 08 Jul 2012
Thelma & Louise with Louise replaced by New Mexico's most annoying kid. I enjoyed it more than I like to admit, but I hope it stays Scorsese's only chick flick.

Mean Streets (1973) - Rated 08 Jul 2012
It ain't the polished, attention-seeking gangster beasts Marty later became famous for, but Mean Streets depiction of thugish life feels raw and authentic.

The Ides of March (2011) - Rated 11 Jun 2012
"The dirty business of politics" is a bit of yesterdays news from Clooney, but he makes up for the shallow familiarity by teaming up with charming friends from the hills of Hollywood.

Killer Elite (2011) - Rated 11 Jun 2012
Surprisingly serious for being a Statham-flick. Unsurprinsigly, it's as forgettable as most of the stuff he's done.

3:10 to Yuma (2007) - Rated 11 Jun 2012
All the goodwill from here to Yuma can't extract any sense out of that ending, but most of the time it's a thrilling and trigger-happy ride through a genre that doesn't get much love anymore.

Prometheus (2012) - Rated 05 Jun 2012
Ridley Scott's expedition into Alien-mythology and life's existential questions was bound to be a tricky maneuvering act, but no one could've foreseen a detour of this magnitude. It avoids everythings it wants to explore, and the story screams for characters that care and wants to be cared about.

3:10 to Yuma (1957) - Rated 01 Jun 2012
Even though remakes are the work of Mr. Lucifer, the Mangold version does improve a lot of things from this half-hearted original. It's still pretty fun - in the same way Bonanza is enjoyable a lazy Sunday morning.

Fort Apache the Bronx (1981) - Rated 31 May 2012
Despite dealing with drug addicts and cop killing hookers; Fort Apache manages to be quite light and fun without getting caught in the cheese trap.

Victor Sjöströms enormous eyeballs of anger is a sight to behold!

Kill List (2011) - Rated 30 May 2012
When the credits rolled, I wanted to sue the filmmakers for selling me something that ended up being completely different than what I bargained for. And then I couldn't get this sick, twisted tale out of my mind... Rewatch is needed.
