The Legend of Lobo (1962)

A slight edit on the ending of the actual story makes it into a nice story with some good themes for people of any age.

I like Spirited Away

Bad Boys
I like Martin Lawrence and Will Smith bantering back and forth.

Last Action Hero.
What a little gem of a film this was. I really liked it. i know it has a horrible reputation but I thought it was entertaining.

burn after reading.
Funny.

Emma
I amazed myself by liking this

Manchester by the Sea
This was boring and it was set in America even though I thought it would be set in Manchester or Blackpool.

State of the Union

Twins
I liked it but I was sad because I was reading they were working on a sequel called Triplets. The third actor was going to be Roseanne Barr who at the time was in her prime. Now she is a joke. Ah what might have been.

I don't usually watch movies anymore but I've been doing that a bit recently. On Netflix I watched Final Girl, Pet and My Teacher, My Obsession and rewatched Final Destination 5. I enjoyed them all but Final Girl was a bit of a let down.

Halloween.

Going under the premise that the whole Halloween franchise never happened after the original movie, this has a paranoid and traumatized Laurie Strohd (not Michael's sister anymore) living in preparation for the day Michael Myers escapes again to finish the job. Well, he does escape, pitting a sixty something year old heroine against a sixty something year old psychopath.
Meh, I was expecting something better.

I have seen Ah-ga-ssi or The Handmaiden. I found it to be intriguing quite from the beginning. In a positive way the movie never really seemed to be what I expected, I had no knowledge of it before I started watching it, and in the end I could only recognize that I was pretty charmed by the experience.

True Grit.
I love the Coen Brothers.

The Wiz

Can you imagine? After all these years? Anyway, the flick was a flop back then (1978), surprising, since it starred the supremely popular Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Lena Horne and Richard Pryor.

I thought the songs and performances were okay. Maybe the movie came out at the time when "cheesy" musicals were out of favor and more realistic, gritty cinema was the norm. A remake with Drake, Beyonce, and who ever's popular these days might do well, though.
