I have not, no. If you buy it, lemme know how it is.

Hearts and Minds (1974)

A striking documentary regarding the US involvement in the Vietnam war. It's not an easy film to watch but it's an important one.

-10/10

And? I thought I'd be disappointed with that one but I actually quite liked it- excepting the ending.

The Color of Money (1986)

An exercise in sheer cinematic spectacle and gorgeous storytelling. Every shot has its own pulse, and the film's three stars- Newman, Cruise and Mastrantonio- move through their spaces with a beautiful rhythm. Smack dab between 'Raging Bull' and 'Goodfellas', this is a joyful marriage of the two decades' styles, drawing intense character portraits with a fast-paced, always moving zing. I enjoyed watching the film because it is an exhibition; this is one of the art's greatest craftsmen, and one of the art's greatest players- to feel the static bond between Scorsese and Newman is electrifying, and the film is both a literal and metaphorical nod to the cinema that prefaced it.

Drag me to Hell (2009)

That crazy freaking old lady had able to creep me out sometime. Overall, a pretty decent entertainer! Nice comeback of Raimi.:)

Johnny Mad Dog (2008)



The film tells the story of Johnny Mad Dog, a freedom fighter who can't be more than 15 or 16 years of age, lost his parents long ago and can't remember his real name; yet is already a veteran of the war in an unnamed African country (most probably Liberia). He and his platoon of child soldiers, whose ages are between 8-16, are sent off by their much older superiors to wreak havoc in the capital city, and all the surrounding villages. He and his second in command, who's nicknamed 'No Good Advice', tear up the streets and homes, dragging people outside to be questioned and even shot if suspected to be traitors to the cause or are found (in their eyes) to be enemies. While this is happening, on the other side of the village, word quickly spreads about the rebel forces looming into town, and soon a great bunch of residents immediately ditch their houses and leave the city. Amongst those is a teenage gal called Laokole, who attempts not only to save herself, but also tries to save her little brother and crippled father. And as the conflict ravages on, so do the tragedies.

Despite its brutality, it's a film that must be seen to remind us once again about the destructiveness of violence and the vicious circle it creates. The film has a similar kinda flavor of 'City of God', but it doesn't quite hit the incredible heights of 'City of God', its by no means any less of a film.

A great cast put their all into the action, all the more upsettingly given the fact that many of them have lived through these very horrors.

Ditto. Been a long time coming but Argento wound up the trilogy quite nicely. Pretty good. Some of the scenes made me go "Ouch!".
