Witness for the Prosecution Charles Laughton is awesome in this film. The twist at the end wasn't as surprising as I thought it would be but it was a great courtroom drama punctuated by great performances. 4/5 |

Never heard of it.
Want to see. Want to see but I'm more interested in Upstream Color. Sounds interesting. Seen it, own it on DVD. I have little to no interest in this film. Never heard of it.

The Killing Fields A disjointed mess of a film that survived and struck a chord with me strictly because of the powerful and true depiction of what happened and the performance of Haing S. Ngor. The fact that he wasn't an actor but relying on feelings of his own suffering from the war was a beautiful and powerful thing to watch. It saved the movie for me. 3/5 Renaissance A gorgeous pile of meh. 2/5 Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf Well, there it is. That was the single greatest performance I've ever seen by an actress. Ever. Liz Taylor...you could win the Oscar for that role every single year. Amazing. The whole cast was amazing actually which is why they all got nominations and awards. It was like three incredible performances punctuated by a legendary one. Hell, all four of them should have won that year. Just incredible. I wouldn't be surprised if this film was the inspiration for Polanski's "Carnage" because they're almost one in the same but Woolf is so much heavier and just powerful. Really deep and profound film. Loved it. Lynch/5 |

I've been on a Western kick recently and I finally watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I just don't know what to think about it. The meat of the movie was great, but WHAT were they thinking with the soundtrack? Raindrops are Falling On My Head? While Butch is doing bike tricks to impress his girlfriend? What...happened...
So there's all that interspersed with some of the best Western action I've seen...so yeah...I just don't know...

There were a few other questionable soundtrack moments, but I'm not surprised it's ignored now. The rest of the movie was pretty damn good.
