Death Proof (2007)
The last Tarantino I hadn't watched yet.
For me it's certainly his "weakest" film, but it's still a whole lotta fun!
It's probably a 7 - 7.5 for me or something like that. Which is a good score!
Oh and I really liked the lapdance scene! The actress did it really well!
I'm a huge Tarantino fan and yes, Death Proof is without a doubt his weakest film, and Tarantino has admitted it himself. I liked the second part of the movie with Zoe Bell, Rosario Dawson and Tracie Thoms, but the first part was really slow and a little boring. Kurt Russell delivers a good performance as Stuntman Mike but I didn't like the performances of the girls from the first part of the film and even the dialogue was boring, which is unusual for a Tarantino film. But the second part not only that is better in dialogue, funnier and includes better characters, it also consists of great car chase scenes.
Anyway, I watched two very good films during the last 24 hours.
Zero Dark Thirty
I liked this movie. I liked the direction, the acting, the way the story was told, the way it was filmed, pretty much everything.
A suspenseful and pretty enjoyable movie. Another fine movie from Bigelow, but I liked The Hurt Locker more.
The Shining
The first Stanley Kubrick movie that I've watched. I'll admit that I expected it to be much more frightening, it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. It had a lot of suspense though, it kept me interested all the time and I loved the camera work. The performances from the cast were also very good, especially Jack Nicholson's.
