Dallas Buyer´s Club with the actor whom I consider the best male actor right now, Matthew Mconnaughy. Didn´t use to think he was that special, but the last years he has proven me wrong. Still, he has some serious acting to do before he can match DeNiro from 20 years ago, or, for that matter, Pacino (who is more or less of an embarrassment nowadays). Those are my two cents.
Later Mr. Roberts. My Father and I watched this movie three days before he passed away.( I never heard him laugh so much) He survived the Sinking of the USS. California BB-44 http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/events/wwii-pac/pearlhbr/ph-ca.htm at Pearl Harbor and the sinking of the USS Chicago CA-29 http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-c/ca29.htm But not cancer.
More youtube movies. The Target- Mishen Never new this masterpiece existed. Set in the future it follows Russia's elite as they find the fountain of youth. Amazing movie. Dersu Uzala- 1961 Russian version. Hold up,I thought Kurosawa made the original very enjoyable DU? Nope, his was apparently based on this Russian version filmed 15 years earlier. This one is great as well, with English subtitles. Shogun's Sadism- There's trash and there's good trash. This is trash but you know you just watch not really believing what you're seeing. This is an early seventies version of horror porn. Not for the squeamish.
I just saw Godzilla yesterday. Great movie if you go in open minded and not expecting the big guy to be there for 80% of the runtime. Excellent effects
I just bought Mr. Roberts on DVD at wally world Because I got tired of watching it on VHS. I paid $5.00 for one the best movies ever made. While I was there, I also picked up "The wackiest ship in the army" (also $5.00).
BTW. Resist any temptation you may have to go see "A Million Ways To Die In The West"...it's only redeeming quality is one gets to see Charlize Theron.
I enjoyed the Korean movie from 2006... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468492/ I didn't see the US film released last year. Last movie I watched was The Seven Ups. (again)
