Watched Suspiria recently, which was pretty good for a horror movie about dancing. The use of vivid color seemed to fit with Argento's rather avant garde style.

Yesterday, I the 1959/Nobuo Nakagawa version of The Ghost of Yotsuya and for the most part, it kept me engaged. It was also presented very well.

I just finished watching the first 3 Dirty Harry movies. They're all great films especially for their time. They have some interesting camera work. Eastwood is hilarious, I'm actually surprised no ones tried remaking it.

The Dark Knight

God I love this movie so much. It's literally one of the greatest movies I've ever watched and it's not just because it's a comic/supehero movie. It's just a great crime drama in general. I really hope it gets serious Oscar considerations.

I spent all day watching the Iron Man disc two. A $hi^ load of special features but all worth it. Definately enjoyed Iron Man.

Holy ****. Guy Ritchie has finally returned. I loved this movie. Probably my second favorite Ritchie flick after Snatch.

First we went to see The Day the Earth Stood Still and it was ridiculously bad, so we saw Changeling afterwards, which was pretty intense.

Watched a Bela Lugosi movie yesterday called Scared to Death, which wasn't that bad. The horror element could've been more implied, though.

After that, I watched Legacy of Blood and I thought it was so bad it was good. For a film from '71, it was mostly the usual low budget fare.

Ahahaha, the Broken Hearts Club. And Garden State again. I think it's better the second time around.

it is extremely good, it was so hard to get my friends to go see it because of the "gay" theme, i don't understand how people can have such hatred towards gay people

Just watched Commando on AMC HD. Right now I'm watching Kelly's Heroes (one of my favorite flicks) on the same channel.

Watched the '89 version of Batman recently, which was a nice effort from Tim Burton. The cast played well off of each other too.

And yesterday, I watched Samurai Spy, which I enjoyed. The action scenes could've been planned out a little better, though.
