I was just in the mood for stupid and gory... and something not close to 3 hours.<br /><br />I have seen THE MACHINIST. IMDb lists it as El maquinista since it was shot in Spain.<br /><br />I'm fairly certain I watched COOL HAND LUKE in college, and I know I watched PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID in one of my film classes. I keep a notebook of all the movies I watch, but I've noticed I have lapses where I forget to jot them down immediately afterward. I actually own both of these on DVD, so since they're not listed in my vote history it will give me an excuse to watch them again.<br /><br />As far as JFK vs. NIXON goes, I've always loved any movie/TV special dealing with JFK, so there was bias. I did enjoy FROST/NIXON though.<br /><br />I think Melissa's mentioned ALPHA DOG to me before, but I'm more intrigued by MUM & DAD. If you haven't already seen them, some great horror recommendations that come to mind are DEAD SNOW, THE SIGNAL, FIDO, THIRST and LET THE RIGHT ONE IN.<br /><br />Thanks for the suggestions, Adam, and thanks for reading.Brian McReehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12089787513654575729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294473938370813865.post-90846122322889031762010-02-18T17:27:53.338-05:002010-02-18T17:27:53.338-05:00Two things I knew when I started reading this: thi...Two things I knew when I started reading this: this movie would suck and 5 layer burritos are 89 cents of bliss.<br /><br />I went through your IMDB vote history and we seem to have a lot the same taste. I can't find much to disagree with you about aside from a few glaring omissions...and JFK is a ten but Nixon is only a six? That seems a bit odd to me. Although I do seem to have a higher Oliver Stone tolerance than most. <br /><br />On to the glaring omissions. Maybe you have seen some of them before the days of IMDB but if you haven't they're worth finding. <br /><br />Touch Of Evil (Welles) <br />Orson Welles in a fat suit and Charlton Heston in brown face, what's not to love? Get the Restored to Orson Welles' Vision version.<br />Thief (Mann) (good Michael Mann film debut featuring James Caan)<br />Cool Hand Luke (lives up to 40 years of hype)<br />The Machinist (Anderson, director of Transsiberian)<br />Badlands (Malick, you'll have vibraphone in your head for days)<br />Paper Moon (Bogdonovich, never has a little girl smoking cigarettes been so endearing)<br />American Gangster (Scott)<br />The Last Kiss (Goldwyn, Carl Bruner of Ghost can direct, who knew?)<br />Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (Peckinpah)<br />This Boy's Life (great De Niro, hotshot)<br />Jack the Bear (great DeVito, now that's just weird)<br /><br />Ok so not all of them are exactly essential but they're good nonetheless. You won't waste your money on any of them.<br /><br />But good call on stuff I didn't expect to find like Wonderland, Tigerland, Wonder Boys, The Man Who Wasn't There, 25th Hour, Abre Los Ojos, Frailty. <br /><br />Melissa and I were trying to think of some more movies you might not have seen and she came up with Alpha Dog which I agree with. Now that I think about it, Anton Yelchin reminds me a little of a young Michael J. Fox.<br /><br />And our low budget horror flick of the week would be Mum and Dad. Horror with British accents, it's funny whether it means to be or not. <br /><br />Anyway, keep the reviews coming - Adam (your sister's boyfriend)<br /><br />BTW, 3 does seem to be the magic number with 5 layer burritos. <br /><br />15 layers and not a single one of them is regret.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
