Faster

Watched this again, it really impressed me more and more with the music, directing, and overall performances. I would put Faster over Drive any day.
9/10
 
25th Hour

9.5/10

[blackout]The ending proposes the idea that Monty could leave New York and start a new life in another part of the country. The movie built up so much genuine sympathy for his character (which isn't easy to do since he's a drug dealer associated with violent criminals) that I almost wanted him to. But it's so much more rewarding for him to realize he has to stop running. I found myself wondering what happened after he went to prison, especially with the supporting characters, but I can't decide if I think those things should have been in the movie or not.[/blackout] In any case, it's an excellent movie all-around.
 
Revenge of the Sith

If only everyone in that movie could act as well as Ewan McGreggor and Frank Oz.
 
Love Castle in the Sky.

Just watched Eko Eko Azarak--Wizard of Darkness. Even so-so Asian horror is better than most any other horror out there.
 
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
 
Had a Southern Accent Nic Cage night last night.

Con Air - 9/10

Cage Rating - 10/10

****ing awesome badass heroic Nic Cage. With long hair. And guitar solos when Cage does something awesome. I need more of these films from him. Such a great action film. Roger Ebert put it best: "Movies smoothly and with visual style and verbal wit." Reminded me a lot of Michael Bay.

Favorite moments:

Cage winking at Jones.

Cage's smiling face when he feels the air as he comes out of the bus.

Cage's "I'm gonna save the ****ing day" line.

Cage, in a moment of awesome adrenaline rage, charges the crew of the plane, gets shot with a bullet in the arm, and doesn't even flinch. Then proceeds to ***** slap at the end of it.

Ghost Rider - 7/10

Cage Rating - 9/10

Still fun and enjoyable as hell despite some bad cheesy moments. Much better than the second one. And Cage totally sells turning into Ghost Rider. And Eva Mendes... goddamn. This is also quirky Cage. Like the martini glass full of jelly beans. I love that ****. The set pieces, the action, the look of the film really provides an enjoyable experience for me. Plus I noticed how Sam Elliot really elevates the material. He says stuff that would have otherwise sounded bad from another actor's mouth, but from his, it sounds legit.
 
The Adventures of Tintin

I don't think it was a particularly excellent film, it was actually good, but the animation and the choreography of the action scenes are some of the best visual things I've ever seen.
Along with Rango, the animation in this film was superb, in every way.

6.5-7/10

I was somewhat entertained by this movie and thought the actors were quite good in it, but ultimately felt cold toward the characters. The protagonist is too unlikable to care about, and not interesting enough to be a compelling character study.

This is the second one of Noah Baumbach's directorial features I've seen, and the second one that's been a letdown.
 
Kung-Fu TOS. Some of the best television ever. Each episode is a great lesson in the Tao.
