Films Watched In March




THE FIRST WIVES CLUB 7/10
Not the first time i have seen it, Nice to see it again after not seeing it for a number of years. Still a guilty pleasure a nice snapshot of a bygone era in new york.

MANHUNTER 8/10
A revelation. Dated but still is thrilling. Better then Red Dragon.

SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD 9/10
Saw it yet again, Still classic

THE GREY 8/10
Surprisingly good and gripping, Much better then i thought it would be.

THE INTERRUPTERS 8/10
Penetrating documentry

THE SITTER 7/10
A R-rated Adventures in Babysitting. Funny and touching and weird

LOVERBOY 5/10
A time machine for me. I remember the commercials for this on TV and couldn't wait to see it on home video. Not a great film but the type of high concept low budget studios were burning off stupid with a cast that has a bunch of aging stars. As well as cementing my theory that Ashton Kutcher is a modern Version of PAtrick Dempsey in the 80's

MR. NICE 6/10
A compelling story that just didn't connect with me.

PROMEDIO ROJO 7/10
Cruse, Gritty and it's a comedy. Definately inventive and heartbreaking. Speaks to the underdog.

FEMALE PRISONER 701: SCORPION 7/10
Crazy, yet entertaining and over the top, Basic story by now. Definately influenced Tarantino when making Kill Bill

FEMALE PRISONER 701: BEAST STABILE 4/10
Inferior sequel boring and not even innovative or really expoitive

THE DARK KNIGHT 10/10
Damn near perfect. Again not my first time seeing it

MURDER BY DEATH 7/10
Great old school underated comedy

SILVERADO 8/10
The first western i ever saw next to Pale rider. All star cast. film still hold a special place in my heart


21 JUMP STREET 8/10
See my Review

HEREAFTER 7/10
Not bad a gripping story that could have been a little better but a good rental

REAL STEEL 7/10
Surpringly ok, keeps you entertained and a nice family film of rock 'em sock 'em robots

THE RAID: REDEMPTION 9/10
Kick ass action film, So far one of the best films i have seen all year, Original yet familiar

DIE HARD: WITH A VENGENCE 8/10
I like to imagine part 2 now we see mcclaine on his own turf, Still this is where he began to almost be a superhero while still being human.

FAST FIVE 6/10
Great action and stunt work, That's really it, you;ve seen it before, Well filmed Wish the script could be better but they are on part 5 how innovative can the story be at this point

THE MUPPETS 7/10
Not as good as the classic ones, This one is a good student of the original. Unfortunately misses the magic of the original, but at least it tries adn is creative.
