Strange,  but good, nice story great video effects in the ocean...... about a 7.5 out of  10..............................Been Looking for a film called " They Shoot Horses Don't They".......... A Film made in 1969, saw it in the theaters when it was released but would love to see it again... Jane Fonda, Michael Sarrazin, Susannah York, Gig Young.

I know ‘They Shoot Horses Don’t They?’, I saw it at the cinema when it was first released. It is a seriously hard hitting film, Gig Young was memorable as the ringmaster: ‘yowsa, yowsa, yowsa’!

Warrior - 8.25/10
The Debt - 8.25/10
Columbiana - 4/10 - Fast and Furious 5 meets El Mariachi meets La Femme Nikita but not in a good way.

The Life of David Gale.  I'd rate it a 6/10.  Unfortunately, I didn't watch it until the end last evening as I was getting sleepy.  We sent it back to Netflix, so we can get our next movie out.

wow Win Win was so good!  10/10  just kept getting better all the way up to the last 10 seconds.  And then it finished with a song by The National.  Win. 


Good movie.

Fata Morgana. 9/10. Complete sucker for these "make your own stories to the music and images picked by the director" types of movies. No, that's not giving enough respect to Herzog as he's made something which is plenty coherent by itself, not to mention unearthly, eerie, and completely bizarre. "So Long Marianne" is also quite catchy and I don't even really care for Leonard Cohen.  
 
I'd love to see this first and then The Wild Blue Yonder

I can't even remember the last movie I watched, so I'll pick this: Due Date
 
Was exactly what I was expecting. Although I enjoyed The Hangover, I figured that this movie would be another typical Hollywood cash-cow. But it was more.
The script could have been written by a child for all I know—regardless of, or perhaps because of, how high I was when I watched this I broke down the action scene by scene. The acting was terrible. Galifianakis plays the same character in every movie (a quirky, mildly dumb 40 year-old that wears obscure clothing and lives for 'shock-value' laughs), and this movie went a step further. As I analyzed the script, I noticed that this movie was written for Galifianakis. His character is Zach; they wrote the script as if to welcome Zach to Hollywood, not his character.
 
It was sickening, and I had to stop watching it before it ended.
 
1/10. Typical Hollywood ****.

The Shawshank Redemption - yet again.  10/10 forever IMO.  It's one of those movies where if aliens were going to blow up the Earth, but wanted to ask what a movie captures all the faces of the human mind and spirit before doing it - well, I think this would be one of them.
