Letterboxd — Your life in film

Way more epic than I had expected. George C. Scott is a monster. Fantastic performance. You get a great sense of time passing and things going on and the general flow of the war and the different people and their differing opinions and levels of influence. And so on.

And you get one of the greatest pieces of tank action ever.

Not just quite as fantastic as I remember thinking it once was but still pretty amazing. Sharlto Copley is phenomenal and the effects hold up great especially when the budget is taken into consideration.

True Romance on the big screen - I believe in everything good again. Too many of my favorite moments in cinema to single out anything. Except maybe Dick Richie revealed himself as a hell deep character and Val Kilmer is so good as The King that it cannot be described.

A phenomenal piece of work. It is so perfectly constructed. Every little detail matters and plays its part.

Mifune is better than I have ever seen him before. It's a much more subdued performance and it suits him. He carries the entire first hour set within his house.

I loved the deliberate pace as well. Kurosawa lets a little layer upon layer unfold slowly until at last everything comes together in an exciting conclusion.

Incredibly well made. That's the best thing I can say. Every single department is turning out fantastic work and it all makes for one of the great thrillers.

Even better the second time. Chris Tucker is great the way he pops up now and then - "black it up, you know damn well what it means."

It's an acting delight and full of wonderful energy. Can't wait for Russell's next. Bale and Cooper look badass.

Basically 2 hours of powerhouse performances. Taylor is ferocious yet vulnerable, Burton is subdued but can erupt in rage at any given moment. The writing luckily matches their skill and it is a joy to watch them deliver line upon fantastic line. Of course George Segal and Sandy Dennis are great as well and Nichols gives them space and their own conflicts to deal with within the movie.

The cinematography was definitely a stand out. There is nothing showy here but the way everything is framed just gave me a certain pleasure.

Just a masterpiece through and through. Shosanna is one of Tarantino's greatest characters.

One of the greatest docs I've ever seen. Mark is phenomenal. I just love everything he says. He's got his own fantastic spin on everything.

The use of "honey" is worth watching alone. Cage has probably never been better. His face when he scratches his hand on the roof of his house is priceless.

It spans a lifetime. At least that's how it feels. I feel like I know Freddie at the end yet I'm still at a distance. Anderson does not help you out here. It's always difficult to judge a movie right when you've seen it, but I can safely say that in terms of craft this is one of, if not the best Anderson has to offer.

Phoenix is an animal, a monster. I've never seen anything like it.
