Ok, so the last few movies I've watched haven't been good enough for me to want write about them. I did watch Se7en though and I enjoyed it a lot. I'm gaining some more respect for Brad Pitt as an actor, I think him and Morgan Freeman played off of each other really well, but I mean, Morgan Freeman does well with everyone. Anyway, It really creeped me out, especially the third murder. I thought it was pretty good all around. I was super tired when I watched it, but I think was one of the better ones I've seen in a while. Definitely would recommend it.

Citizen Kane is a movie that most movie people have seen. Since it was done with a different acting style than used today, that isn't really relevant. However the story and presentation was excellent. There are so many hidden little details that you can find. In fact, I went back to watch parts of it twice after seeing the ending. Some people dislike ambiguous endings, but I thought this was tastefully done. Especially with that running theme (that is actually mentioned a few times) of having things and losing them. Anyway, I don't want to give anything away, so I'll stop, but it was really good and I'm glad I got to see it. It's something I will be thinking about a lot about in the next few days. If you've seen it, feel free to put something in my Ask about it.

The Wizard of Oz

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I watched The Green Mile last night. It was incredible. Yeah, parts of the script were iffy and when John would "Spit it out" it was kind of a bit much for me. But I'm being really picky because I have been thinking about that movie all day. Tom hanks was incredible. Just his emotion and his pain and everything. Michael Duncan was also really good in this too. I think I cried four times in this movie. In fear and hatred and sadness. But still, no matter how  intense the movie was as a whole, there were still funny parts right along side brutal and horrible things. Just like life. Loved this movie a lot.

Sophie's Choice

I had actually seen Iron Man before, but it was on yesterday, so I watched it again. It's so much fun. Robert Downey Jr. plays his part without flaw and Jeff Bridges does his character subtleties extremely well. Gweneth Paltrow for the most part does really well, but I dislike her in this movie only because of the way she acts in the really intense bit at the end which I don't think was done very well. (She redeems herself in the sequel if it matters) It's a really well made, well performed action/superhero movie that gets really intense and real in some parts, when Tony is in the cave for example, so some people may not like it for that reason, but overall--very good.

Also, I'm kind of saving Raging Bull and The Godfather series for a few rainy days, but Raging Bull  is supposed to be absolutely incredible and the Godfather.. well i mean, its the Godfather... so...
