You know, I've only seen about 15-20 minutes of that film. Its almost a sin. I adore everything I've seen from Coppola, but for some reason I just keep putting it off.

Puddle Cruiser - this was the lesser known first released "broken lizard" film.
A few funny moments, but yeah....feels like a student project....
At least 2 out of 4 of their movies were pretty good, the next one (slammin' salmon, trailers available) looks pretty funny too.

You need to get on that! One of the all-time greatest films, period.

Revolutionary Road (2008)

5 out of 5

Terrifying. This movie is real, made of flesh and blood and bone. At times the dramatic tension can boil to a point which is almost unbearable, making us as an audience feel emotions we don't usually at the movies; guilt, anxiety, suspicion, pity, doubt- at times the movie made me feel downright filthy. Big-scale performances here seem to defy the laws of acting, and instead of viewers we become voyeurs. At times DiCaprio and Winslet had me shaking, and at times I felt physically sick. It isn't so much the way the two actors can raise their voices, or stir up tears; it's the fear behind their eyes which is so remarkable. The performances are ones of interior showmanship as well as exterior. In the end, it's a grown-up game of house, with two children who want so badly a life of perfection that they become miserable with themselves, with each other, and with a world which never held its promises.

First- Mothman: Listen to Alky! See it as soon as you can!

I can't wait to see Revolutionary Road. I've only heard great things. A rec from you only makes it that much more exciting.

Dead Poets Society (1989) - 8/10.

Much better than I expected it to be. Robin Williams was suprisingly good in this.

I'll grab Apocalypse Now next time I see it, as for Revolutionary Road, I saw the trailer and it just looked like a relationship drama, sounds like its more than that though, i might check it out.

The Unborn

God it was awful. It was just like any other PG-13 Horror flick out there today. Every "scare" scene was way too predictible. I just hate how they can't be creative anymore.

2/10
