  • The Queen 2006

    ★★★★½ Watched 07 Mar, 2012

    I was pretty taken by this film. Engaging and captivating and seemingly fair-minded (though I'm no expert on the subject). Emotionally effective at several points, great performances. Fantastic.

  • Cape Fear 1991

    ★★★ Watched 06 Mar, 2012

    The climax goes on for WAY too long and gets WAY too silly but up until then it was very suspenseful and interesting.

  • Inglourious Basterds 2009

    ★★★★★ Watched 17 Sep, 2009 2

    I can't even think of words to describe the ways I love this movie. Masterfully clever, shocking, nail-bitingly tense, hilarious - the cast is a once in a lifetime cavalcade of awesome and I have no doubt that there are a number of scenes that will be studied in film classes years from now. Definitely Quentin Tarantino's most mature, coherent film and arguably his best. QT deserved the Best Original Screenplay Oscar this year and it is a travesty that Melanie Laurent wasn't even nominated for her performance.

  • In Bruges 2008

    ★★★★ Watched 21 Oct, 2012

    Not at all what I was expecting - in a good way. Funny, interesting and surprisingly somber at times; I can see myself revisiting this film quite a bit in the future.
