bitches ain't shit.

the name of the rose - 4/10. procedural crime drama with monks. zzz.

a man for all seasons - 6.5/10. a Job story. robert shaw's brief stint as king henry viii is the only lively bit in the movie. the rest of it is occupied by a stiff shakespearean actor who gets acclaim because he articulates his words and has a power in his voice no matter what he's saying. an actor that looks like he's acting. the subject matter interests me - thomas more refuses to accept the king's marriage to anne boleyn, but the king values his acceptance - but there is never any real struggle inside thomas more. his commitment to god is unfaltering and never questioned. as other reviews point out, it amounts to a chess match between two sides trying to outwit the other, but thomas more is always far smarter and the other side has to cheat. all i wanted was for thomas more to show some sign of weakness before he proved how strong he was.

poo butt.

3:10 to yuma - 6.5/10. i generally don't get westerns and i can't get behind the conceit of this one, which is basically 'let's get twenty people killed to get this one guy to this place where he's gonna die anyway.'

cantaloupe.

true romance - 7.5/10. there's a complete lack of cynicism in the romance which makes me like the movie even as it slowly becomes more and more typical.

they're not going up there to fish.

slapshot - 3/10. i watched this a long time ago and thought it was bad. i thought i might be wrong.

fuzzy ideas.

time bandits - 6.5/10. not as clever or imaginative as it would like itself to be. still, it's amiable. watch baron munchausen instead. total 8.5/10 there.

breathless - 8.5/10. i'm less good explaining why i like something as to why i don't like something. it's full of life.
