What Films did You Watch Last Week (03/12 - 09/12) CLOSED

First Time Viewings:

Halloween (2018, David Gordon Green)

This one didn't do much for me. I liked the score and there were a few good scenes here and there, but I just didn't care enough about the characters outside of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), but she's in a supporting role. I felt the film wasn't nearly as intense or entertaining as it could have been.

5.5/10

The Pirates! Band of Misfits (2012, Peter Lord & Jeff Newitt)

This animated film has fun characters, some good laughs, and a good voice cast. I had a good time with this one.

7/10

The Little Prince (2015, Mark Osborne)

This is an animated film was made by Netflix and I thought it was pretty good. I liked the characters and the voice cast did a good job playing them. It has a good score too and is entertaining throughout.

7/10

Tau (2018, Federico D'Alessandro)

This Netflix original has some good cinematography, a good score, and the story kept me engaged throughout. The set design was another highlight and the acting was pretty good.

7/10

Battle Royale (2000, Kinji Fukasaku)

I've been meaning to get to this one for a long time. I ended up liking it. There are some really good moments throughout, but I did feel the characters could have used better development.

7/10

The Christmas Chronicles (2018, Clay Kaytis)

This one is elevated by a fun performance from Kurt Russell and it does has some good moments here and there. 

6/10

Arthur Christmas (2011, Sarah Smith)

This animated Christmas film didn't do much for me. Most of the characters weren't that great and it just wasn't very fun or exciting.

5/10


Repeat Viewings:

Vertigo (1958, Alfred Hitchcock)

One of Hitchcock's best. Terrific film.

9/10

Miracle on 34th Street (1947, George Seaton)

A Christmas classic with good performances and plenty of charm and entertainment.

8/10

Home Alone (1990, Chris Columbus)

Fun stuff.

7.5/10

Incredibles 2 (2018, Brad Bird)

Not nearly as good as the original if you ask me, but still quite fun.

7.5/10

Aladdin (1992, Ron Clements & John Musker)

A Disney classic. Robin Williams gives my favorite voice performance of all time here.

8.5/10
