You should like Nightmare Alley, I think.

You should maybe check out Rules Don't Apply too. Do you like Warren Beatty as a director?

Florida is in my top 5 for last year now, I think.

Not a fan of Beatty in general

ah, O.K. In that case you can skip it. It's not great or anything.

Hi there!

Shaun of the Dead: only saw it once but I loved it. 8.5/10

Mine:

The Godfather: Part III (1990 DVD) : ‘’ In the midst of trying to legitimize his business dealings in New York City and Italy in 1979, aging Mafia Don Michael Corleone seeks to avow for his sins, while taking his nephew Vincent Mancini under his wing.’’ This movie was tragic. This was a good movie. This tragedy was a good one. I really liked Keaton and Garcia was a nice addition. Pacino's acting was uneven and I was not always believing the character but overall I was moved. 7.5-8/10

The Transformers: The Last Knight (2017 Netflix): I liked the show, the toys and the whole movie franchise but this is the weakest entry story wise and it gave me a few headaches with the erratic cocaine fueled editing. It was still fun, colorful and action packed. I would be curious to see the final editing result on computer though. There must me over 10 000 tiny clips. It’s crazy. Shout-out to my man Sir Edmund Burton. Props to you homeboy, Im sure you get plenty of ‘’whoopee’’ with your mighty knowledge of medieval magic. 6/10

Game Over, Man (2018 Netflix): ''Three friends are on the verge of getting their video game financed when their benefactor is taken hostage by terrorists.'' The guys from Workaholics go Hollywood and the result is highly forgettable. It's almost funny and almost entertaining but it's none of that. The violence was not very good either. As a member of the PWESALOITL association (People Who Experienced Salvia At Least Once In Their Lives) I enjoyed seeing salvia introduced in a film for the first time. He played it well. 4.5-5/10

Zero Dark Thirty - been too long, but I liked it.

Shaun of the Dead - 8/10

Easy A - been too long for this one too.

La La Land - 8/10

First Time Viewings:

Hangover Square (1945, John Brahm)

This one has a pretty interesting story and a good cast. It's also nice and short and has a few great moments.

7.5/10

Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936, Frank Capra)

In this one, a tuba player inherits a fortune and has to contend with opportunist city slickers. Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur put in some good work here and the film has a good balance between drama and comedy, as well as a strong finale.

7.5/10

Ugetsu (1953, Kenji Mizoguchi)

This classic is about two families in the midst of the Japanese civil wars of the sixteenth century. The film is well made and acted and has many great scenes and some pretty powerful moments throughout.

8/10

Meet John Doe (1941, Frank Capra)

In this one a poor man agrees to impersonate a nonexistent man who said he'd be committing suicide as a protest, so a political movement begins. The film is well cast and has a nice mix of comedy and drama.

7.5/10

The Heiress (1949, William Wyler)

In this one a naive young woman falls in love with a handsome young man, who her emotionally abusive father suspects is a fortune hunter. The film has some nice surprises along the way and the main trio (Olivia de Havilland, Montgomery Clift, and Ralph Richardson) all give very good performances.

7.5/10

Cloud Atlas (2012, Tom Tykwer & The Wachowski's)

This one is a pretty ambitious film that I feel I may come to appreciate even more after multiple viewings because there's a lot to take in. It's very well made and has excellent sets, costumes, makeup, and visual effects, as well as a really good score. It also has a good cast and it's well paced.

7.5/10

Long Day's Journey Into Night (1962, Sidney Lumet)

This one takes place over the course of a single day in the life of a family in 1912. The film is nearly three hours long and is pretty much just characters talking for the entire time, but I found it fully engaging throughout and the length never bothered me. What really makes it work so well is the acting, as Katharine Hepburn, Ralph Richardson, Jason Robards, and Dean Stockwell all put in some damn good performances.

8/10

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008, Nicholas Stoller)

This one is about a man whose girlfriend breaks up with him, so he vacations to Hawaii, only to discover she's there too with her new boyfriend. The film has a good cast and is pretty funny and entertaining throughout.

7/10

Repeat Viewings:

Apocalypse Now (1979, Francis Ford Coppola)

Simply masterful on all levels. I finally decided to bump it up to a perfect score.

10/10

Giant (1956, George Stevens)

This near three and a half hour epic is well paced and engaging throughout. It's beautifully shot, has great sets, and a very good cast, as well as a strong story that covers a few decades.

8/10

I Confess (1953, Alfred Hitchcock)

Not one of Hitchcock's best by any means, but it tells a good story and has a strong performance from Montgomery Clift.

7/10

(1955, Alfred Hitchcock)

This one is quite funny and entertaining, with a very good score and cinematography, as well as some really good performances.

7.5/10

Angels with Dirty Faces (1938, Michael Curtiz)

In this one, two boyhood friends cross paths after years apart. One of them is a priest and the other is a gangster. The film has some excellent scenes, including a powerful ending. James Cagney is awesome in his Oscar nominated role.

8/10

Throne of Blood (1957, Akira Kurosawa)

Kurosawa's take on Shakespeare's Macbeth is a really good one. It wonderfully made, well acted, and has a fantastic ending.

8/10

Movie Awards:

BEST FILM - Apocalypse Now
BEST ACTOR - James Cagney (Angels with Dirty Faces)
BEST ACTRESS - Olivia de Havilland (The Heiress)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR - Marlon Brando (Apocalypse Now)

Hey

Godfather 3 - a good film that suffers mostly in comparison to the near perfect previous chapters. It is not as consistently amazing as these but does have many great scenes and a superb finale 8/10
