10/10
It was on TV for the 4th of July and I decided to watch it for the hundredth time. I have loved this film since I was a kid and it just keeps getting better! The nice surprise was that it was shown uncut. I have never seen it uncut. That included actual credits at the beginning of the film and the musical number "Cool, Cool Considerate Men", which was cut from the movie (unfortunately, it didn't include the second verse of "Piddle, Twiddle and Resolve", though). I swear that with the extra song and the extra dialogue (there was a lot of that), it seemed like a brand new movie. Very interesting and fun to watch.

Shall these bones live?
Disagree on this. I just watched Man on Fire this afternoon and the brutality was unrelentingly senseless, and not really tied into the plot very well. The kidnap of the girl was an inside job because the father's business deals were failing, okay, but the story line doesn't tie in very well with why federal Mexican agents needed to use a CIA black operative to bring down their own cartel-like criminals.
If I was supposed to be entertained by Washington's torture methodology and yet empathetic because of his proto-Catholic faith, through which the rescue of the girl redeemed his barbaric mercilessness, it didn't work. There was no rhyme or reason to the pile of corpses it was necessary to go through to carve out the implied corruption.
Traffic, with Michael Douglas, by contrast, provides viewers with reasons for the senselessness of the drug trade. Man on Fire was merely a vehicle for Washington to be so juiced that he was less person and more a dark horseman of the apocalypse.
"In the Valley of Elah" 10/10 Excellent movie, excellently acted. Tommy Lee Jones did a great job-doesn't he always? ~ and Charlize Theron did a good job, too.
It makes me think of a quote I found on this website: "They say 'He gave his life for his country,' Nobody gives their life for anything. We steal the lives of these kids. We take it away from them. They don't die for the honor and glory of their country. We kill them." ~ Admiral Gene Larocque
Get Smart
9/10
I thought it was funny. I liked it much more than I thought I would (I am considering the fact that it was based on the TV show - I like very few TV-based films). I liked it.![]()
"Starting Out In the Evening" 7/10
Frank Langella did an excellent job in the lead role, but the movie seemed to drag in certain parts.

I finally got around to watching Once today. I don't know how I managed to miss this one last year, it was fantastic. It was well-acted, well-directed, the music was phenomenal, and the story was short and sweet. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you need to get out and rent it as soon as possible (I also reccommend picking up the soundtrack)
I saw Girl,Interrupted yesterday. I would give it 8/10. I was surprised i hadn't watched it earlier. I will go on read the novel now.
Existence is not only temporary, it is pointless.
I watched Kinky Boots on television the other night.... I liked this movie heaps from the first time I watched it!!![]()
