+7
Good stuff so far, cricket. Lots of interesting, outside-the-box choices. I'm happy to say that I've seen most of the entries so far.
A quick run-through:
I remember reading about Love Ranch when it first came out and thinking that it sounded interesting, but the reception was generally negative and the movie quickly faded into obscurity. I haven't seen Joe Pesci in a movie in ages, so I mostly want to watch it for him. Escape Plan is decent and it's always cool seeing Sly and Arnold together on screen. Machete is a lot of fun. I remember the two lead performances in Conviction being very good and the true story was compelling, but to be honest I'd forgotten the movie even existed until I saw it on your list. Excision worked better for me as a black comedy than a horror film, but I enjoyed it and the ending has really stuck with me. Not a big fan of Woody Allen, but I think Blue Jasmine is one of his best and Blanchett gives one of my favorite performances by an actress this decade.
Klown is on my watchlist. The Baytown Outlaws feels like a southern-fried version of a Tarantino film, so that's right up my alley, but although I enjoyed the flick, it also left a lot to be desired. Cool to see it on the list, though, since it's rarely discussed. I didn't like Bullet to the Head at all, even though I'm a fan of Sly and Walter Hill. I need to give it another chance, though, since I think I remember dozing off a couple of times while watching it because I was so tired. The Woman was a huge disappointment. I think it was the attempts at dark humor that didn't work for me. I found Sabotage too dour and unpleasant for its own good. Sinister got off to a great, creepy start, but the deeper it ventured into supernatural territory, the less I liked it. Drive Angry is a blast. Out of all the modern-day exploitation flicks that came out in the aftermath of Grindhouse, I think it's one of the best and most entertaining.
The Interview is hilarious and one of my favorite comedies of this decade, but I love almost everything Seth Rogen and company do. ("They hate us 'cuz they anus!") American Mary, Seven Days and Cold Fish are already on my watchlist. Brooklyn isn't typically my kind of movie, but I thought it was very good and very enchanting. Saorise Ronan is one of the most talented young actresses out there right now. Not too interested in Wadjda, although I'm sure it's a good movie. McConaughey and Leto really elevated the quality of Dallas Buyers Club. Repo Men was better than I expected, but it hasn't really stuck with me. Don't know much about Beauty Day, but every time I see that screenshot, I think it's David Lee Roth. I caught some of Nurse 3D on TV one night and it looked abysmal. The American is good, but it's another movie I'd forgotten all about until seeing it pop up on your list.
Looking forward to the rest!
