Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - 8/10

War for the Planet of the Apes - my favorite of the series. 8.5/10

First Time Viewings:

Aquaman (2018, James Wan)

Some of the effects are pretty cool, I liked the score, and it is pretty well paced. The acting is a bit patchy though and the story feels too familiar. I just never cared enough. It's alright.

6/10

The Highwaymen (2019, John Lee Hancock)

Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson put in some good work here and I thought it was interesting seeing the Bonnie and Clyde story from the other side of the law.

7/10

The List of Adrian Messenger (1963, John Huston)

I was interested in this one because it stars George C. Scott and Kirk Douglas and has cameos from some other well know actors of the time. The story kept me engaged, Jerry Goldsmith's score is really good, and the performances were good.

7/10

Pretty in Pink (1986, Howard Deutch)

The best thing about this one is the cast. I didn't find it engaging enough or funny enough to really work overall, but it's alright and has some strong moments.

6/10

One-Eyed Jacks (1961, Marlon Brando)

Marlon Brando's only film as director is well shot, has a good score, and a good story. Brando, Karl Malden, Ben Johnson, and Slim Pickens all put in some good work too and it has a strong finale.

7/10

Burn! (1969, Gillo Pontecorvo)

Marlon Brando puts in a good performance here and Ennio Morricone provides a really good score. The story had potential, but I felt some scenes were a bit dull, which held it back for me.

6.5/10

Listen to Me Marlon (2015, Stevan Riley)

An interesting documentary about Marlon Brando, who was not only a great actor, but a fascinating man.

7/10

The Patriot (2000, Roland Emmerich)

This one is wonderfully made, has some beautiful cinematography, a good score, and I liked the story too. Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger and Jason Isaacs are the highlights of the cast and there are some terrific moments in this one.

7/10

Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964, Robert Aldrich)

This one is well made and has a nice twisty plot and some very good performances across the board.

7.5/10

Gentleman's Agreement (1947, Elia Kazan)

This one has some interesting subject matter that is pretty well executed. Good performances too.

7.5/10

Repeat Viewings:

Broadway Danny Rose (1984, Woody Allen)

Not among Woody Allen's best, but still pretty good. One of Mia Farrow's best performances.

7/10

Bonnie and Clyde (1967, Arthur Penn)

I still didn't like Estelle Parsons, but the rest of the cast is good, especially Faye Dunaway, who is fantastic. The film is engaging and has some great moments.

7.5/10

Interiors (1978, Woody Allen)

This one worked better for me this time around. Strong performances all around.

7/10

On the Waterfront (1954, Elia Kazan)

A classic right here that is wonderfully made and has some damn fine acting across the board. Powerful stuff.

8.5/10

Manhattan (1979, Woody Allen)

One of Woody's best. The black and white cinematography is exquisite and it's well written and acted.

8/10
