The Thief (1981, Michael Mann)


This left me with mixed feelings. Most of the film was really good - I liked the cinematography (Michael Mann's eye for framing is really something at times), the neon-light neo-noir visual style, and the safe opening scenes were great. But then, there are also some questionable moments - the worst offender is, of course, that cheesy slow-mo final showdown set to a corny 80s guitar solo. Ugh. What a disappointing way to end an otherwise great movie.
Still overall I liked it a lot.

This is about a firefighting group in Arizona who fight wildfires. It plays out a little like a real life disaster adventure, but on a realistic scale. The guys train, bond, and there's good character development. What I didn't know was that the movie is based on real events, and I wasn't prepared for the heavy emotional aspect that comes with it.

And the rating system is very specific, I know, but it just always worked like that for me. I tried the 1-10 scale without any decimals for a while, and I thought it wasn't specific enough for me. Then I tried adding the point 5 scale, but I thought: "What if I think a movie is better than a 9.5 but not quite a 10?". So yeah, that's where it came from, I know it's annoying and too specific, but its what makes the most sense in my head. What about you?

For me, it is simple, the movie loses a point for every single thing I dislike about the movie.

For example:

The Last Jedi
- Side quest is boring
- Plot holes
- Snoke death
- Lazy writing

Therefore 6/10.

That is great! Much clearer than mine for sure! Would you consider yourself easygoing, strict, or moderate when it comes to reviewing the films.

I can be a critic, that's why I gave John Wick 2 a 4/10. lol

But sometimes I am generous too for movies I enjoyed a lot, for example: Rise of the Planet of the Apes 9/10.

One of my most anticipated movies of 2017. I'm just wanting to get the DVD from Netflix/DVD.com. It sounds good! And tragically sad

Ghosts of the Civil Dead (1988)





This is an Australian movie from the same director as The Road and Lawless. It's a bleak, brutal prison movie with a claustrophobic kind of tension. It all builds up until a violent climax.

Too bad that ridiculous sense of humour is not in your type. After watching Boy and What we do in the shadows I felt in love with Taika Waititi movies. Thor Rangnarok - creme de la creme.

I would put money down on you really liking this movie, Rules. I thought it was very well done.

Yes I didnt get the hate for this movie. Another movie I thought was very well done. Tip for claustrophobes: I'm not sure I can give you a tip. I certainly got very uncomfortable with the internal shots.

What Lies Beneath - 7.5/10


A lot better performances from Kidman and Ford than I expected (couldn't believe I actually haven't seen it till recently.) Anyways, I enjoyed it from start to finish, and a pretty awesome setting.


The Rocky Horror Picture Show - 8/10


Not sure why I'm drawn to this from time to time, but every time I throw it in it's a good watch. I wish they made more movies like this, very original, creative. Also it's about 10 times better if you're just starting it past midnight or later... :P

Yeah, even when I'm trying to be objective with a movie, sometimes I will give a higher/lower score if I really enjoyed myself and vice-versa.
