Beverly Hills Cop II - I thought it was alright. 6/10

First Time Viewings:

The Flight of the Phoenix (1965, Robert Aldrich)

This one is well made and acted and tells a good story. Some very good moments here and there.

7/10

Made for Each Other (1939, John Cromwell)

James Stewart and Carole Lombard are very good here and the film itself was pretty good too.

7/10

The Beach Bum (2019, Harmony Korine)

Has some nice cinematography, the soundtrack is good and McConaghey gives a fun performance, but other than that the film didn't do much for me at all. It wasn't boring, but I never really cared about what was happening. Apparently I'm not a fan of this director's style.

5/10

The Reluctant Dragon (1941, Alfred L. Werker & Hamilton Luske)

This one has some fun animated sequences, but also some interesting behind the scenes stuff that shows how Disney made animated films.

7/10

Us (2019, Jordan Peele)

Creepy, unsettling, intense, and also thought provoking. I liked it a lot.

8/10

Thirteen (2003, Catherine Hardwicke)

Pretty good coming of age story with some strong performances.

7/10

Help! (1965, Richard Lester)

The Beatles second movie isn't as popular as A Hard Day's Night, but I enjoyed it just as much. Fun story, good laughs, and of course a great soundtrack.

7.5/10

Repeat Viewings:

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999, George Lucas)

Loved it when I was a kid, but unfortunately it doesn't hold up all that well these days. Still has some really good stuff though and is okay overall.

6/10

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002, George Lucas)

The Obi-Wan stuff is pretty good, but the romance is poorly handled. A mixed bag like its predecessor.

6/10

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005, George Lucas)

Easily the best of the prequels. It still has some flaws for sure, but some great stuff as well.

7.5/10

Rear Window (1954, Alfred Hitchcock)

A Hitchcock classic. One of my favorites.

9/10

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016, Gareth Edwards)

Pretty good prequel to the original. The finale is the highlight.

7/10

Star Wars (1977, George Lucas)

Unlike the prequels, these one's still hold up amazingly well for me.

10/10

The Empire Strikes Back (1980, Irvin Kershner)

Incredible sequel.

10/10

Return of the Jedi (1983, Richard Marquand)

Excellent finale.

10/10

A Hard Day's Night (1964, Richard Lester)

Saw this in school several years back. It's funny and entertaining and the soundtrack is great.

7.5/10
