First Viewings...
-Django (1966) (May 24th 2019) - 6/10 (a nice quick pace to it although it ended a little earlier than I thought it would. I won't be surprised if my score goes up a little in the future on a re-watch. seems this movie gave QT inspiration for Django Unchained (2012). but the overall style etc does feel a bit like Sergio Leone (Good Bad Ugly (1966) etc etc))
-The Great Silence (1968) (May 26th 2019) - 5/10 (not as good as the directors other movie (Django (1966)) but it's okay enough for a viewing. I suspect why some like this as it does not play out like you would expect. seems some mention this in relation to The Hateful Eight (2015).)
NOTE: I basically stumbled into those two movies from a recent interview I was watching online with QT and the cast of 'Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood (2019)' as he [Quentin Tarantino] mentioned the director Sergio Corbucci.
Re-watches...
-Two Mules for Sister Sara (1970) (May 20th 2019) - 7.5-8/10 (among my Top 86 movies and among my favorite Westerns)
-The Shawshank Redemption (1994) (May 21st-22nd 2019(mostly 21st)) - 7.5-8/10 (a solid movie but a bit overrated on IMDb)
-The Road (2009) (May 23rd 2019) - 7/10 (a good post-apocalyptic movie even though I could see how some might not like it with it's drab/depressing/bleak overall tone. but it has it's moments and finishes well enough.)
-Payback (1999) (Directors Cut) (i.e. Payback: Straight Up (2006)) (May 25th 2019) - 7/10 (was a 8/10. this is about 10min shorter in length vs the regular version and it's altered quite a bit from the regular one which makes this easily the biggest difference I have seen between a Regular version of a movie and a Directors Cut. because normally they will just add in a bit of footage but the movies are petty much the same but not this one as the whole end area is quite different etc. I like both versions about the same but probably slightly prefer this directors cut over the regular one. it has a nice quick pace.)
p.s. in general for me... 5/10 or less = Thumbs Down. 6/10 or higher = Thumbs Up

OP's...
-Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) - 5/10 (but I am not a fan of this series at this point)
-Game of Thrones (2019, Season Eight) - 5/10 at best (I dumped this show around Season 5. overrated. it's got some interesting characters, and has a decent bit or piece here and there, but overall the show is not my thing. ill take Breaking Bad/The Sopranos over it hands down.)
-Django (1966) (May 24th 2019) - 6/10 (a nice quick pace to it although it ended a little earlier than I thought it would.
