Will do, maybe it'll be different for me because I heard that half the film isn't even about them being in combat.

Desperado (1995)
strength of Desperado's in guns and guitars, beckoning starpower of Banderas & Salma Hayek and her.. well everything about her , & capturing a feeling of Mexico. There's parts where the narrative has more potential, yet the former are the sort of facets that boost a film, especially when capturing a culture that appeals to me with intensity & spectacle
Rating: 8.0 / 10

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
That guitar doe...the film gets two popcorns just from the guitar alone even though it made no sense to have it at all.
Action sequences were crazy good. I liked Hardy as Max. Theron was good and you could tell it was her movie but Hardy was the highlight for me. Not a big fan of Hoult though so his character was meh to me. Max spoke in like 3 word sentences the entire time but I was entertained by him throughout the entire film nevertheless. A great action film.

Black Hawk Down
Another war movie let-down for me. It just further proves my point that I just can't get into war movies at all. I do understand this one is still pretty well made but I will honestly never watch this again unless I was with a friend/commentary.

Gone Girl (2014)
Saw this finally and it was worth the wait. Anyone who's even seen the trailer gets an idea what the main thrust of the movie is, but there are twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I'm not the biggest Ben Affleck fan but he did a fine job in this. But no doubt, this is Rosamund Pike's movie. I've loved her since I first saw her years ago in a James Bond movie and have been following her career since. She deserved her nomination for Best Actress for this movie. Also making great impressions in this movie are Carrie Coon as Affleck's faithful sister, Kim Dickens as the lead investigator on Pike's missing persons case, and Tyler Perry as Affleck's lawyer. This is the first time I've watched Perry outside his "Madea" movies and I must say, he did a fine job. Overall, a compelling movie where you don't know what's going to happen even if you think you do. Kudos to David Fincher for his taut, tense directing here.

The Departure (1967) by Jerzy Skolimowski. This is an interesting little film! It's unfortunately pretty forgotten today, but definitely worth finding. Really amazing movie, highly recommended!

The Lonely Wife (1964)
A housewife in Calcutta is lonely because her husband works a lot. The husband notices this, so he has his cousin come to keep her company and help her with her writing. The wife begins to have feelings for the cousin. This is not some erotic thriller with adultery as a central theme. I think the viewer is supposed to feel for the wife, but I just didn't. I had a friend from Calcutta when I was young, and from what I understand, it is, or was, a poverty stricken city. This housewife lives very comfortably, has a husband who provides for her, loves her, and treats her well. I had no sympathy for her whatsoever under her circumstances. If she's lonely, she can get a dog. As far as I was concerned, she was fortunate. I didn't feel anything until the husband caught wind as to what was going on, but by then there was under a half hour left. It was an interesting movie with excellent direction and acting, but as far as me feeling anything, it came too late for me to consider this anything more than a little above average. I strongly prefer The Big City from director Ray.

Sex, Lies and Videotape (1989)
A movie that thinks it's doing something brilliant, but on the inside is as interesting and poignant as a box of staplers.

I remember it being better than that. Not great or anything, but a good box higher than that.
