Better than Platoon or Casualties of War?

Wait... Platoon was about the 2nd WW!? Casualties of War was Michael J. Fox against the nazi's in the jungles of Germany!?

I read WW2 as WAR. My bad.

The Killer Inside Me *½

Lousy neo-noir with a particularly risible denoument. If it weren't for the film's controversial scenes of violence aganist women this would've rightly disappeared into oblivion.

I think it's a much better film than Platoon or Casualties of War (which I still rate btw)

Apocalypse Now:Redux 4/5 A Magnificent film in it's theatrical form,this redux version,while interesting proves that often less is more.My main problem with this version was the french plantation sequence,it stops the film completely dead for nearly half an hour! the other added bits,like the theft of Kilgore's surfboard and the playboy bunnies in the chopper sequences Colleen camp had great tits are superfluous but don't stall the movie.

The Tourist **½

Pleasent enough diversion, nothing more.
The main twist is insultingly obvious from the outset

Naked Lunch: 4/5

Transformers (2007): 3/5

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this (I wasnt really a fan as a kid), OK it's a dumb and noisy film, sure, but in parts it was actually pretty funny.

Less Than Zero *½

Not quite zero... but close.
Boring, vapid druggie drama about obnoxious yuppies.
Robert Downey Jr. is convincing (quelle suprise) but Andrew McCarthy is staggeringly wooden.

Changeling: 3.5/5

Great film about the horrors of society and corruption! I really enjoyed watching this film. 4/5 to me.

Crash (1996): 3/5

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 22 Jun 2011, 13:50

The Illusionist ***

Well done period thriller about a master magician (Edward Norton).

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 22 Jun 2011, 19:16

Bad Teacher: 3/5

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 23 Jun 2011, 03:51

The Majestic ***½

Cruelly overlooked slice of Capraesque whimsy deserved a much better fate (critical and commerical) than it received. It's rare to find a film so warm and sincere in the 21st century. Cynics need not apply.

The Rookie **

One of Clint Eastwood's poorer efforts.

The Innocents (1961): 4/5

Bullets 'n' Babes
