The Wild One - 7/10

Under the Silver Lake - been meaning to watch this.

True Detective Season 3 - I want to rewatch it, but I definitely liked it.

First Time Viewings:

The Rainmaker (1956, Joseph Anthony)

Katharine Hepburn and Burt Lancaster are both really good here, but the film itself was just okay.

6/10

Hot Shots! (1991, Jim Abrahams)

A funny parody of Top Gun. Lloyd Bridges is awesome here.

7/10

Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993, Jim Abrahams)

Funny sequel.

7/10

You Might Be the Killer (2018, Brett Simmons)

This one has an interesting concept, but the execution wasn't quite up to par. I enjoyed it for the most part, but overall it never quite came together fully and I wasn't big on the very end.

6.5/10

The Tin Star (1957, Anthony Mann)

Pretty good Western with Henry Fonda and Anthony Perkins.

7/10

The Rover (2014, David Michôd)

There's not a whole lot to the story, but it's well made, has a good score, some very good moments throughout, and Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson both put in some strong work.

7/10

Repeat Viewings:

Boogie Nights (1997, Paul Thomas Anderson)

Brilliant movie, especially the final act.

9.5/10

Burn After Reading (2008, Coen Brothers)

Very funny and entertaining film with a great ensemble cast. Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand are especially good.

8/10

Munich (2005, Steven Spielberg)

An wonderfully made and engaging film based on real events. There are some terrific scenes in this one.

8/10

E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982, Steven Spielberg)

Liked this one even more than I already did on this viewing. It's well made, entertaining, and emotional. It also has some very good cinematography and a wonderful score.

8.5/10

On Golden Pond (1981, Mark Rydell)

Enjoyed this one even more. It's well written and wonderfully acted. Henry Fonda is terrific here in his final screen appearance.

8/10

Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010, Brandon Vietti)

Pretty good animated Batman movie.

7/10
