The Last Wagon (1956)
Im not a natural fan of non-Clint westerns, but this one is very good, highly enjoyable watch.

Walkabout (1971)
Walkabout opens with a wonderful montage of an Australian city showing cars, buildings and people all running around to get somewhere. We then see a man take his son and daughter out to the Australian wilderness for a picnic. All of a sudden he begins to shoot at them, when they run and hide the father sets the car on fire and kills himself. They are now forced to fend for themselves in the Australian outback. Walkabout has some of the most beautiful cinematography ever commited to film. It is edited masterfully with amazing montages. One in particular stands out wherein an aboriginal boy hunts and kills a kangaroo juxtaposed with a man at a deli counter cutting up meat (showing an extreme difference between the two cultures). Walkabout deals with themes of society setting rules and regulations that prevent people from really, truly surviving. It shows the blandness and boringness of everyday life in today's society. Walkabout is one of the most compelling and beautiful films out there. It is essential viewing for any film fan. -10/10

Hotel for Dogs .. made my wife squeal with childish glee every time a dog did something cute, and it made my kid cry like crazy at a sad part.
it wasnt bad actually until the rediculous ending which discredited the rest of the film. other than that we've been watching season 1 of Veronica Mars. everyone is digging it although i'm finding the dialogue a little on the Juno side. damn, we hip !

Cannibal Holocaust
I don't know which way to go with this movie. I love it because it's cheesy, but then it is actualy such a crap movie at the same time. 5/10

The French Connection (1971)
The French Connection is one of the best crime thriller films out there. It is a gritty, exciting, edge of your seat thrill ride containing one of the greatest chase scenes ever commited to film. Gene Hackman plays Jimmy 'Popeye' Doyle and Roy Scheider plays his partner Buddy 'Cloudy' Russo two New York City Narcotics agent attempting to intercept a shipment of heroin from France to New York. The intensity in which Hackman plays Popeye Doyle (a role in which he won the Academy Award) is incredible. Director William Friedkin mixes traditional Hollywood style with French New Wave aesthetics to create a highly stylized film - fast, gritty and real. Along with Dirty Harry (released on the same year) it turns the table on the traditional good guy cop role and shows the cops as being just as ruthless as the criminals - that isn't to say they're crooked, it just means they're willing to do much more than the average cop to get what they need. -10/10
