Movie a Day by the Bay

Clint Eastwood and his republican ideology took it too far this time... The movie is close to being racist but even that could be forgiven (after all he's telling only one side of the story, and from the point of view of an american soldier) if the directing was good. But the fact is that it isn't! It's not oscar material, it's only oscar bait.
Cooper is good enough but the rest of the cast doesn't exist because the director doesn't let that to happen! The editing is really bad (how the hell was this nominated for best editing while Birdman was left out???) because it doesn't let us relate with Kyle. It just skips any human moment he might have!
And at the end, after presenting us with such mixed emotions and opinions about war and "patriotism", Eastwood just ruins it, and lets his republican side win!
It's entertaining enough, it never bores you even if the pacing isn't fast, but it's only another movie...

It isn't close to being racist, it is racist. I couldn't even sit through the entire film.

It's been a long time since I saw it, but I remember it better than that. Still, at least you liked it.

I've been wanting to see X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes. I heard that for it's time it was quite different.

I love X, it's too bad that you don't love it, but at least you don't hate it.

All Cheerleaders Die is directed by the dude who directed May, so it has my attention. I want to see it at some point.

I like X! I feel I was too negative in my review. It might be flawed but I've got nothing but love for it.

Is it your favorite movie that starts with the letter X?

It's not quite as good as Xanadu.

I've still to watch All Cheerleaders Die, even though I got it for Christmas. Neighbours alumni are my reason for watching it.

A remake of a 1946 noir! I didn't see the original yet but I liked this one! The style looks very similar to the one Tarantino used in Pulp Fiction to portrait Jules and Vincent, so he probably got it from this movie (it's also one of his favourite movies).
The soundtrack is great, the acting is good enough, the plot is very well managed and all the twists and turns are carefully placed, but what I liked the most is the true femme fatale, a woman who can love and kill you at the same time, fragile but powerful! And Sheila Farr is that woman!
It lacked a bit pacing in some moments, but the racing scenes are really cool!

Angie Dickinson plays Sheila Farr, and Ronald Reagan turns in his last performance as a scumbag before moving on to politics.

I'm sure there's a joke there. If only I could see it.... Good work, mark.

A funny czech dark comedy with a brilliant concept!!! The whole film is shot backwards and the story is told from the moment the main character dies till he is born, but narrated as that was a normal life!
It's funny and makes you look at life in a very different way, while it twists your brain in a genious way!

I have given you two reps for watching this movie, which is more stars than I gave the people that made the movie. Somehow that feels uneven.
