MICHAEL CLAYTON ~ 2007

 

Man this movie is FANTASTIC! If we did ratings out here this would get an A+ or a five star or a 10/10. George Clooney is a stud, Tilda Swinton is completely awesome, Wilkinson is crazy good and the story is insanely good. “I’m not the guy you kill. I’m the guy you buy!” Shiver and goosebumps.

LEGEND ~ 1985

 

AAAAAAHHHHHH – old Ridley Scott and young Tom Cruise. I loved this so much as a kid. I was watching someone watching this a few months ago and it looks like it could be a little dated, but I didn’t catch the whole thing. I should give this another watch when I have some time. Always good for some nice 80’s synth action.

THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD ~ 2007

I think this is a very, very good movie – but it’s also very, very long. I think both times I’ve seen it, it as a two (or three) sittings event.  Totally excellent performances from everyone, very realistic settings and historical “devices”, very long. Casey Affleck deserved something for this. Fantastic!

RAISING ARIZONA ~ 1987

 

This is only one of the greatest comedies ever made!! This is a TOTAL CLASSIC that never gets old and my friends and I can (and do) quote this pretty consistently. If you haven’t seen this, immediately stop looking at your computer or tablet or phone, stop reading this and go catch this somehow.

“when there was no meat, we ate fowl and when there was no fowl, we ate crawdad and when there was no crawdad to be found, we ate sand.”

“you ate what?”

“we ate sand.”

“you ate SAND??!”

“that’s right.”

COLLECTOR SETS ~

This morning when I was free associating movies I’ve seen and want to put out here, I started downloading all of the M. Night Shyamalan posters. Then I got to thinking it would be cool to do some sort of theme day and then I thought I didn’t want to do that but I could put together a collection of all of his works and that would give me an option for doing something like “all of the Halloweens” or “all of the Pixar movies” or “something”. Anyway – up at the top menu there’s a new page called COLLECTOR SETS. I hope you like!
