| 60 35% | Drums Across the River (1954) - Rated 27 Aug 2024
"Pretty standard Western with the 'twist' that the hero has prejudice against the natives, but then finds that he's been wrong and has to get in between the two sides to prevent a war. The women in these movies often make me laugh; they are either the decent girls who worry over men and gasp or then they are the temptress plotting evil. Nothing is different here. Overall it's still an entertaining enough a Western."

| 80 85% | Varjoja paratiisissa (1986) - Rated 27 Aug 2024
"I did start watching the Proletariat trilogy in the wrong order, but it doesn't really matter. This is another tale done in the true Kaurismäki fashion of deadpan line deliveries and forlorn Helsinki city streets that often seem void of people. Loved all the actors in this one and I like that Nikander, while being such a downplayed person, also has another side to him that's more fierce and decided. Also, this movie reminded me of a time when everyone smoked, EVERYWHERE."

| 73 66% | The Omen (1976) - Rated 27 Aug 2024
"Kids can be super creepy. While this movie does have some pretty gruesome kills, by today's standards they are not all entirely shocking. Still, watching it today, it still holds up extremely well due to the music and the unnerving feeling everything gives you. Slow burn, but still effective."

| 80 85% | Brokeback Mountain (2005) - Rated 25 Aug 2024
"Took my time before actually watching this film. Wasn't what I expected from what I've read about it before. This is a love story, but it isn't a simple one. It isn't one just marred by anger and prejudice, but a lot of the conflict comes from the characters themselves. A very touching, multifaceted story. Loved the landscapes and mountain scenes."

| 35 9% | Ghost Ship (2002) - Rated 25 Aug 2024
"The opening scene sets out an expectation that the rest of the movie simply cannot follow up to: mediocre acting, silly plot, no real scares to be had here. A couple of okay scenes (like eating the beans -scene) but there's not much to hold your interest here. So mediocre, it's kinda painful. The ending was also such a bad choice, leaving it out there with 'oooh suspense' while the suspense died in the first few minutes of the movie. Don't get too bold with your own 'ingenuity', film."

| 80 85% | The Magnificent Seven (1960) - Rated 24 Aug 2024
"Retelling a story of a movie I've seen before this one, this western does a good job at reimagining it. All the characters are recognizable, all with their own personalities and strengths. The story flows onwards nicely and there are no boring moments here. I'd say that even as a good western, it lends its power from the good story rather than amazing moments of character interaction or any major surprises to the plot. But it works, so I have no complaints."

| 40 12% | Miami Connection (1988) - Rated 22 Aug 2024
"Kind of funny with how bad it is all the time. I did enjoy some of the silly lines and fights, but there's really not a plot here to hold things together. It's pieced together with some awkward convos in between equally awkward fighting scenes and horrible music bits. Probably should have watched this drunk with a friend."

| 40 12% | Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) - Rated 21 Aug 2024
"I knew not to expect much, but at the very least I could say I was never bored by this movie. That being said, there are so many plot holes and weird things in this script that part of the interest in keeping on watching it. The mood is so confused. Fun happy world vs. dooming apocalypse doesn't really work here. There are awfully some awfully bad CGI moments. Cheetah was a joke. Diana zooming around in the sky was horribad."

| 60 35% | Dune: Part Two (2024) - Rated 21 Aug 2024
"Urgggh. I have never read the books so I'm not knowledgeable as far as Dune-verse goes. I'm watching these movies as their own standalone things and boy did the second part feel pointless. Bad guys practically fall over their own feet and are way too easy to take down, so the thrills are just not there? I felt nothing for these characters, either. I also get why people like it. Maybe better knowledge of the setting lends it a whole new meaning. I was just kind of bored."

| 70 57% | Twisters (2024) - Rated 20 Aug 2024
"I am a huge fan of the first movie. The mood was always the big thing for me; the summer heat soaking you in sweat just before a storm, the sky turning dark, warm wind picking up. The sequel doesn't quite get there, but maybe it wasn't supposed to. It starts out on a similar note to the first one, but there is an interesting twist in character dynamics. Cool storms, but less intense scenes than the first one had."
