Hi, Dark.

Need to watch Notorious.

Yours:

Dead Again 7.5/10

I thought it was fun. Yeah, it's pretty insane.

Thief 9/10

Yep. Classic.

The score is great too.

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) 8/10

Yeah, it's really good.

Walter Matthau is really great, Robert Shaw too..Martin Balsam. I haven't seen the remake, I didn't like the trailer.

The Blob (1988) 7.5/10

Haven't seen it in a while. I remember enjoying it. Have you seen the original?

Mine:

Death Proof 8.5/10

Quentin Tarantino movie. Love it, it holds up really well to me.

The final car chase is fantastic.

Love Kurt Russell and Rosario Dawson. Sydney Tamiia Poitier is cool too.

Winning 5/10

It's a movie with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward about a race car driver who's really devoted to his job and neglects his wife and she starts an affair with a friend and rival of his. I didn't like it much, it's kind of dull. Also, I thought the editing felt kind of weird and distracting.

Kitten with a Whip 6/10

It's a movie with Ann Margret and John Forsythe, it's about a US senator who meets a beautiful girl, who's actually a fugitive from prison and she gets him involved with her drug dealing friends. It's really pulpy,

, it's so-so though, I don't know, it should have been crazier, IMO. Loved Ann Margret though, she's kind of a super dark lady.

The Freshman 7.5/10

It's the movie with Matthew Broderick and Marlon Brando, it's about a film student who goes to work and befriends a mob boss who looks exactly like Don Vito Corleone from the Godfather. It's fun, it holds up to me.

Marlon Brando is great, he's really funny in the role.

Hi, Will

Death Proof - 5/10

To be honest I found this a bit boring. Too much talk, too little action. But I haven't seen it since it theatrical release, perhaps it's time for a rewatch.

I never heard of "The Freshman" but it sounds fun.

Yeah, a lot of people felt that. I always liked it, and then I liked it more and more when I rewatched it.

The Freshman is definitely a nice comedy.

I agree it got better with rewatches for me too, also a lot of people first saw it in Grindhouse and that cut is far inferior to the stand alone theatrical cut

that boasts amongst its actors Michael Madsen, Danny Trejo, and Jake Busey definitely gets some points of merit even before the movie starts rolling. Though those points aren't as much as you might think, because Trejo's part is small and very insignificant, and Busey's role isn't that much better. I also had some other problems with the movie. The photography is pretty bad, with dark and muddy colors throughout. Also, the movie takes a LONG time to get going - more than a third of the movie goes by, to be more exact. Still, I will admit that once the movie gets going, the rest of the movie is fairly compelling - though I had a good idea of how the movie was going to end some time before that ending actually played out. So there aren't exactly any surprises to be found in this movie. However, I will admit that I have seen far worse direct-to-DVD movies.

Yes, that's probably true. I think more people like it now, actually.
