Recently Watched Films

Not terribly in depth or ground breaking. I don't think I learned anything much new. Watching Ozzy be Ozzy is sometimes cringe-worthy, but usually a bit of fun.

This is neither as good as some make it out to be, nor as crap as it initially appears to be. It needed a lot of build-up, where I sat there wondering why I was watching it, to reach a point that perseverance actually paid off. However when it did it was hilarious. I imagine a fair few people switch this off in the first half hour, as I so nearly did. Sadly the final act wouldn't work as a short without the context of the first two. Ironically it probably deserves to be recognised as a bona fide art film, but it's disguised as garbage. 

I love that movie! Not seen it in years.

One I didn't post from this morning:

A bit hard to follow, but overall a decent supernatural horror, possibly even underrated. 

Watched this last night and thought it was great. It's thought-inspiring - what would you do in the same situation? Clint Eastwood plays an old man really well because he's not pretending to be anything except an old man. Personally I think he's well underrated as an actor.

I love it when history comes to life.

Watched this on Saturday in one sitting despite the 3+ hour length. 

Stupid but fun. Sean Penn's Spicoli is a brilliant stoner character. And Judge Reinhold gets caught doing what many a teenage boy did in the 80s after seeing Phoebe Cates in (and out) of a bikini. Also has a rocking soundtrack.

great score... awful script
