What Films did You Watch Last Week (08/07-14/07) CLOSED

First Time Viewings:

Storm Center (1956, Daniel Taradash)

I liked the story of this one and Bette Davis and Kim Hunter put in some strong work.

7/10

South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut (1999, Trey Parker)

Some good laughs in this one. I thought the first half was a bit better than the second half.

7/10

Team America: World Police (2004, Trey Parker)

There's some clever satire in this and it's pretty funny throughout.

7/10

John Wick (2014, Chad Stahelski)

The action scenes are pretty well done, but it's held back by a pretty basic revenge story and some poor music placement.

6.5/10

John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017, Chad Stahelski)

About on par with the first one. Outside of some fun actions scenes, it's not quite engaging enough to work.

6.5/10

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019, Chad Stahelski)

This one has the best action of the three and is the most engaging one overall. I enjoyed it.

7/10

Wild Things (1998, John McNaughton)

This film has a bunch of twists in the second half that make it a crazy ride. I enjoyed it though.

7/10

Cruel Intentions (1999, Roger Kumble)

Entertaining enough, but it never quite came together.

6.5/10

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993, Eric Radomski & Bruce W. Timm)

I thought it was okay. I expected more given its reputation.

6/10


Repeat Viewings:

Oliver & Company (1988, George Scribner)

Not among Disney's best, but it's fun.

7/10

The Fountain (2006, Darren Aronofsky)

I got into this one more this time around. It looks great, is well acted, and has a beautiful score.

7.5/10

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968, Stanley Kubrick)

Always a fascinating viewing.

9/10

The Shining (1980, Stanley Kubrick)

In my top 10.

10/10

TV Viewings:

Stranger Things: Season 3 (2019)

Another excellent season. 

9/10
