Taxi Driver is one of my favorite films. Everything about it is just so mesmerizing and pretty fucking gritty. Especially the (spoiler alert) 12 year old prostitute.... |

I've always been a fan of horror anthology movies. This one was no exception. It had equally good moments of gore, suspense, and humor. I first heard of it when reading Bloody Disgustings top 20 horror movies of the 00's.

The Godfather part I.
I have never been a big movie person but recently decided to watch this. I felt like I needed to re-watch it yesterday though in order to understand everything. I am currently watching part II. I've seen this one too but also felt like I needed to see it again so I'm currently watching it again. I have yet to see part III and I know I can't expect nearly as much out of it as the first two but I am going to watch it anyway because I have spent the time watching the others I might as well watch this one too. EDIT: Watching The Godfather trilogy started after I got in the mood for gangster films after watching Goodfellas and Casino for the 80th time each, haha.

I loved this movie so much and as I was watching it a few parallels could be drawn to my short story that I wrote recently. Even though I stopped at part one and I wanted to continue it at a later date. I can no longer write anymore to that story because this movie has tainted my mind and I don't want to use anything that will make people think that I got my ideas from this movie when I didn't. I wrote my short story weeks before this movie came out. The few parts that were a bit cliche was the love plot line. I just groaned anytime he said something romantic because it was filled with cheese. Another downfall of the movie is while you are trying to figure out what his powers are you are constantly judging him or maybe that's just my rowdy friends that I went with. They couldn't stop talking and they completely live up to the loud black people in theaters stereotype. They were joking and saying "what is he?" "a lighthouse superman?" I found that a bit funny because he did seem that way. Until they explored his powers more and showed you what he can do. I didn't like that because they were slowly releasing his powers that anything he or his partner needed for the situation they could do and then they just claim or yeah that's part of my powers as well. like wtf that's too convenient. Other than those few negatives though, if you are in the mood for some super hero type fun then go ahead and watch it you'll enjoy it. As I did for the most part. I would give it a C+

I would enjoy that actually. I'm always very quiet during movies. Yeah, sometimes you will get the random person yelling "STFU" but that's only during like the busy weekend times. There wasn't many people in there when we went to the matinee showing.
