"A rebellion is always legal in the first person, such as "our rebellion." It is only in the third person — "their rebellion" — that it becomes illegal." - Dr. Benjamin Franklin

 

Night Moves

 

"Who's winning?" 

"No one. One side's just loosing slower than the other."

"Harry thinks that if you call him Harry one more time, he's going to make you eat that cat."

   - Harry

Operation Finale

"If you succeed, for the first time in our history we will judge our executioner. And we will warn off any who wishes to follow his example." - David Ben-Gurion

Back Again

After a long hiatus, I'm back. Seems a good place to post an image and quote from the film. And if I wish, more thoughts on the film. I'm putting a name to what I've long understood, one of my favorite genres is existential romances.

L'Eclisse

Piero: "I feel like I'm in a foreign country." 

Vittoria: "That's how I feel about you."

---

Vittoria: "I wish I didn't love you or that I loved you much more"

The Raid 2: Berandal

9

Verdict: Watch it. I loved The Raid: Redemption so I came into this film with high expectations and the movie definitely delivered. Just writing up this review and viewing this gif makes me want to watch the film again. I shake my head in wonder at how good the fighting scenes in this movie are.

Cyborg

2

Verdict: Avoid. Jean-Claude van Damme and sci-fi aren't enough to save this movie from the worst music. Its so banal it makes watching this movie painful.

Death Warrant

5

Verdict: Avoid for all but martial arts and Jean-Claude van Damme fans. I enjoyed it but I am a martial arts and Jean-Claude van Damme fan so it was worth it.

Fantomas

7

Verdict: A fun watch if you're into old silent movies. The first of six films, I'm excited to see what this popular figure's dastardly deeds will be.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

4

Verdict: Avoid. Cheesy and just plain awful. Maybe this movie would be good if I had grown up watching the cartoons but I just find the costumes and dialogue stupid.

Akira

7

Verdict: Watch it. It's a classic though it didn't live up to the hype. The classic style and iconic motorcycle is awesome but the movie is all over the place. A friend said that reading the manga makes the movie a lot more enjoyable because you get a better understanding of the plot. 

And I'm back... 

Psycho

9
Verdict: Watch it. Hitchcock is amazingly skilled in this classic. He knows how to present a movie to make you feel exactly what he wants you to feel. Suspense

Alan Partridge 

 

8

Verdict: Watch it if you enjoy British humor. Pay close attention to the quick dialogue and you'll realize the Alan Partridge character is genius and thoroughly enjoyable.

Michael Kohlhaas

8

Verdict: Watch it if you enjoyed Valhalla Rising. A movie that moves slowly gives you plenty of time to reflect on the impact of the main character's desire to seek justice.

...And Justice For All

8
Verdict: Watch it. Its frightening to realize the power the justice system has over an individual. Oh, and you're out of order!

Wall Street

7
Verdict: Watch it if you enjoy the vibe of Wolf of Wall Street. Its fun seen Charlie Sheen and his dad acting together in the same movie. Especially because you could imagine their conversations occurring today because Charlie is crazy and Martin seems down to earth. 
"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good."

A Few Good Men

7
Verdict: Watch it if you enjoy military and lawyer movies. Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson have such a powerful on-screen presence.
"You can't handle the truth!"

Nightcrawler

8

Verdict: Watch it but be prepared to leave feeling empty.  Jake Gyllenhall is fabulous in this and his character is equally as alarming. Its an excellent reminder that we as a society love to watch horrible things happen to people... brb, headed to watch fail vids.
