Raging Bull:

Had never gotten around to watching this until this past week on Netflix streaming. Very good, but troubling film. DeNiro was great as he seemed to be often in this era. It's weird that he hasn't done so well lately. Just picking some bad films I guess.

Matchstick Men

Really good. Kind of messed up.

I loved Get Him to the Greek...I thought it took some turns towards dark and twisted and that was fun. Also, the fact that Russell Brand is an ex-heroine junkie alcoholic makes him super entertaining in roles where he plays a druggie.

I also enjoyed Matchstick Men. A perfect Nick Cage vehicle...

DeNiro is a fucking oddball. Did you catch his interview on Letterman with Dustin Hoffman? Either this was 100% scripted and the most fucking brilliant display of awkward TV, or...well, just watch:

As far as picking bad films...DeNiro looked embarrassed in Meet The Parents 3.

The end of Road to Perdition annoyed the hell out of me. pointless. purely intended to annoy.

I just saw Beat Kitano's 09/10 film, Outrage. Nother yakuza. Honestly didn't feel like he brought much new to the table. It was well shot, and well paced. The violence was muted and intense. Overall I enjoyed it, I just wanted to see something a little more characterized as opposed to the defeatest yakuza state body count finale.

Reign of Assassins 2010
Michelle Yeoh. Pretty good for a kungfu'er

Woody Allen's Bananas
It was funny. Not as timeless as manhattan for sure. Screwball comedy woody style. I loved Midnight in Paris and recommend you see it in theatres. Probably his best work.

Redline

I waited a very long time to finally see this movie. It did not disappoint. Beautiful insanity.
