Wow!

I wish I had that kind of time.

Which one did you like best?

The only real reason I had that much time was that I'm on vacation.

As for which one I liked best,that would probably be Skyfall .

It sucks!

The only reason I am even giving it a 2/5 is because of:

The Train (1964)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059825/

I've been watching almost nothing but WW2 films the past two weeks.

It's fun to watch Nazis and Imperial Japaneses get killed.

4.5/5

Just Cause (1995)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113501/

Weak story but a strong acting by Connery, Fishburne, Ed Harris and Underwood with a supporting cast composed of Capshaw, Beatty and Travanti saves the movie.

Scarlett Johansson also stars in this as Connery's 10 year old daughter.

3.5/5

Red Dawn 2012

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1234719/

1.5/5

This movie is a joke compared to the first one!

The first one wasn't the greatest movie ever made in the 80's but it was something special and powerful.

I was working at a movie theater when Red Dawn 1984 came out.

I remember the unexpected long lines for the movie and we had to add another auditorium to it.

We only had one print so we ran the print into the projector for Theater 1, take the end of it that came out of the projector and pull it down the hallway and fed it into the projector for Theater 2.

I can still remember seeing the faces of the people in the audience as they were leaving the theater after the last showing.

Grim faces, sad faces, shocked faces, some were even crying and weeping.

I took my girlfriend of the time to see the movie and she was crying too.

I still remember her words to me afterward:

"That is the saddest and scariest film I'd ever seen!"

That's how emotional the movie was to us.

We felt that way about the movie because we could relate to it/

Back then, we were expecting the Red Bear to come at any time and

President Ronald Reagan constantly reminded us about it.

Just like in the 50's, the U.S. population was constantly drilled on what to do in the case of a Soviet Nuclear strike on the U.S.

I doubt Red Dawn 2012 had that kind of effect on anyone in the audience at any of the movie theaters it was shown at.

Fritz Lang's Man Hunt (1941)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033873/

One more reason to hate the Nazis!

4.5/5

To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090180/

Just watched the Blu-Ray tonight.

I've seen this movie several times before but never like this.

A beautiful pristine Blu-Ray transfer that accentuate the hues of green and orange and blue and yellow which brings the seedy underground atmosphere of the City of Angels to life.

Of all the movies that came out in the 80's, nothing symbolizes that era like this film and the movies of the time by Michael Mann and the Gibson/Pfeiffer Tequila Sunrise.

A Dark, Gritty, Violent, Compelling Lean Mean Taut Crime Thriller featuring the worst of the sordid and immoral characters on both sides of the law.

In your face photography and a stylish soundtrack by Wang Chung makes this film an under-rated gem.

Keep your eye out for Frasier's Jane Leeves as the lesbian lover of Bianca, Willem Dafoe's girlfriend.

They don't make great movies like this anymore!

5/5

Argo (2012)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1024648/

This is a great movie but still, between this and Zero Dark Thirty, I would had rather the Academy picked the latter as Best Picture.

4.5/5

Not watching anything right now but I was looking at some of the titles in my DVD collection and I noticed something:

Is it just my imagination or do

Gone Baby Gone http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0452623/ and Mystic River http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327056/ feel like the same movie?

Gone Baby Gone http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0452623/ and Mystic River http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327056/ feel like the same movie?

Both are based on books by Dennis Lehane. And maybe Ben Affleck has to be influenced by Mystic River.

Shutter Island is also from Dennis Lehane.

Hell Is For Heroes (1962)

on DVD

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056062/



I've seen this before.

I don't remember when and where.

Maybe it was on late night TV here in the U.S. or on TV in Italy.

I think this is only the 2nd time I can remember Steve McQueen dying in a movie.

Great World War II film from Director Don Siegel (later of Dirty Harry directing fame);

starring James Coburn, Bob Newhart (one of the few times I've seen him in a non comedy role and this film was his movie debut by the way) and Harry Guardino (who later starred in two Dirty Harry films)

4.75/5

After almost a year, I've finally decided to give The Dark Knight Rises a chance.

Well, right from the beginning I am questioning several things including WHY does Bruce Wayne's voice changes when he puts on the Batman mask?

That was one of the major complaints from fans and critics worldwide about The Dark Knight.

His voice shouldn't change because the mask is not covering his mouth or any part of it.

I guess that idiot Hack Nolan doesn't listen to his fans!

My rating of it for the first 68 min:

Same old poorly made, noisy BS as the previous two Nolan's Batman films!

All you Nolan and Dark Knight fan-boys who can't take constructive criticism because you think Nolan's Batman films are the greatest things ever made since sliced bread and the wheel (and they are not),

you can kiss my ass!

I am entitled to my opinion!

After almost a year, I've finally broke down and watch The Dark Knight Rises.

Noisy, Pretentious Convoluted Monotonous Overrated POS!

Christopher Nolan is a Talentless Hack!

1 star out of 10 stars!

It's getting 1 star because of Hathaway as Catwoman otherwise I would had given it a big fat ZERO
