Recently Watched Films

Pretty standard action movie with a basic plot but for a movie to just kick back to and watch Denzel sorting out the baddies it's pretty entertaining. 

Rare black western. Unfortunately even though the story is an important one the actual film could stand to be more compelling. 

For me this never got more entertaining than its intro. It remains a solid, intriguing film that I probably did a disservice to by watching it in three chunks of about one hour each, but overall probably more experimental than I like.

Pretty good film noir. 

An excellent, though quite short, film noir.

It's possibly the worse time to start into the DCEU considering a lot of it seems to be falling apart, but I decided to start checking them out anyway. I've mixed feelings on this one. I liked the prolonged intro on Krypton and the early scenes once the story reaches Earth, covering Superman finding out who he is and his first meetings with Lois, but I felt the movie fell apart once Zod arrived on Earth and things turned into one very long action sequence, which started to get tedious after a while. 

Seeing this for the first time and it suffers through being so ingrained into popular culture that I've known how it ends for years (hell, Red Dwarf parodied this quite heavily in one episode). Despite that, I was glued to this throughout. 

The least weird movie I've seen from Terry Gilliam. 

Very entertaining darkly comic neo-noir. 

Excellent 1940 classic. Loved it. 

Yep, was my first John Wayne western. It's close to being my favourite, but I think I have to give that to Rio Bravo. Close between those two, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Red River and True Grit though. 

Didn't care too much for this. Not over the controversial story, just the way it was made. 

First time seeing this one, believe it or not.

It's like someone tried to channel Pike's Gone Girl character but make her a rape victim. The results are laughable unbelievable. 

Good crime movie.

Howard Hawkes final film is a solid western but neither his best nor John Wayne's.

Excellent Eastwood/Siegel collaboration.

I liked the first one. This one not so much.

It was okay, nothing more, nothing less.
