The Black Windmill: a mid-70s Michael Caine flick in which he's being an 'ard baaarstard, on the trail of his kidnapped son.
...
Dragged Across Concrete. Not as accomplished as the director's prior two films (Bone Tomahawk and Brawl in Cell Block 99), but Mel Gibson gave a good turn.
...
I watched that entire movie thinking it was Tom Hardy in the lead role. Enjoyable film, though.
Ha! :)
Cannibal Holocaust. A 1980s Italian movie that got the director charged with obscenity and then murder (for making a snuff film). Charges were dropped when the actors who were supposedly killed on...
Brawl in Cell Block 99. Starring Vince Vaughn! Brutal stuff, but very entertaining if you like brutal stuff.

The Guilty.
Great thriller with a great twist.

Excellent film. Shows how you can tell a story in under 90 minutes if you cut away the fat.
And the way the films builds and maintains suspense is excellent—just walking down the street becomes...
Saw the Oliver Stone flick JFK yesterday for the first time in ages. Remembered what a good film it is. Full of nonsense of course, but a great way to pass three hours (didn't feel that long: a sign...
Watched Iron Man 3 and Kick Ass 2 this weekend. Both were pretty good. Iron Man 3 is the best of the trilogy I thought (the best bad guys, plenty of Downey Jr., good action). KA2 wasn't as good at...
Just had a conversation along these lines at work and out of it remembered what good movies Brewster's Millions and Trading Places are. Haven't watched either for ages, so I'll have to rectify that...
