They live (1988)
This movie inspired Shepard Fairey to become Obey Giant. The underlying idea of aliens living amongst us, controling us, basically breeding us to work for them, could have been executed better, and most of the acting sucks, but there's some funny shit in this movie, like an over 5 minutes long fight-scene between Roddy Piper and Keith David (which Southpark recreated frame by frame in the retard episode), or the infamous line "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum" followed by an "Oh shit" and a cop getting blasted by a shotgun round. Overall a pretty stupid, yet entertaining 80s flick.

The Wolfman
Terrible special effects. Very noticable CGI. The transformation to werewolf was ok, but given the budget and technology it shoudl have been better. American werewolf in london was better in this regard. The actual werewolf looked like a cartoon/joke. Good amount of gore, but nothing was impressive. Some elements of the story were unclear. Most actors seemed like they phoned this one in. I was able to finish the movie, but would not recommend it to anyone. .5 out of 5

Chasing Amy (1997)
one of kevin smiths more serious movies. pretty good. 6.6/10
Beautiful Girls (1996)
directed by Ted Demme who OD'd on blow after his last movie Blow (2001) came out. natalie portman's 3rd film. pretty good movie. 7.2/10
Leon: The Professional (1994)
one of the best movies ive ever seen. oldman killed it. natalie portman's first movie and it did have some jailbait overtones just like in Beautiful Girls. 9.5/10.
all these Miramax movies ive been watching always seem to have some "abnormal" sexual topics, but beyond that just some good film-making & storytelling. i'll keep on watching.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
I fell asleep three times trying to finish this movie. I'd have never given a movie that much of a chance had I not heard so many good things about it. It has been a long time since I begged for a movie to be over as much as I did this one. It was so boring, so slow, relatively uninteresting. I thought the acting was pretty bad, the story was disjointed, the directing was subpar. Really I have nothing good to say about this movie.

13 Assassins
The best Samurai movie I have seen in a long time. Special effects left something to be desired, but that is really about the only complaint I have for this movie. Some cool ideas, good battles, excellent villain, just an over all good samurai film. Would recommend to fans of the period or genre.

Devil's Playground
Decent documentary about an interesting subject. Didn't feel all that connected to the characters the way you get in some documentaries. I don't think the film aspects (directing, editing, cinematography) had any outstanding points, but nothing poor either. Wouldn't tell anyone not to watch it, but won't go out of my way to recommend it either.

Anvil: The story of Anvil
Better made documentary than the one above; though the subject is a bit less interesting to me. This was like the American Movie of Metal documentaries. Felt bad for these guys for getting passed over, but can't say enough about their persistence. They are either totally crazy (possible) or have the greatest desire and drive I've ever seen.

I really liked this documentary, even though it is a bit all over the place. But I guess that is due to the problems of getting Maradona on camera and interviews. Took Kusturica about three years to finish this due to Maradonas health problems. You might not like it if you are British or American, because Diego has strong views about the "American Imperialism"...
