Alien (1979)

March 31, 2017March 15, 2017 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Ridley Scott Well, this film scared the hell out of me.  I guess I should've remembered that this is a horror film set in space, particularly with the tagline "in space no one can hear you scream," but somewhere along the way I forgot and thought of this as another thrilling jaunt through … Continue reading Alien (1979)

Three Days of the Condor (1975)

March 30, 2017March 15, 2017 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Sydney Pollack In Three Days of the Condor, we follow a bookish CIA agent named Joseph Turner (Robert Redford) run and fight for his life against unknown assailants who have murdered his entire team of CIA analysts.  As the title says, this films is very condensed, particularly the first act of the film.  Joseph … Continue reading Three Days of the Condor (1975)

Bullitt (1968)

March 29, 2017March 14, 2017 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Peter Yates Bullitt is one of those movies that I can't really tell if it's good or not.  Recently I've watched a lot of movies from the late 60s and 70s, and I think they're just about all really good.  In my mind, the 1970s are the pinnacle of American films, but that's … Continue reading Bullitt (1968)

Network (1976)

March 28, 2017March 13, 2017 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Sydney Lumet I found Network to be more disturbing than either Rosemary's Baby or The Deer Hunter.  If you haven't seen those two films, one involves a woman forced to give birth to the devil, and the other involves a bunch of people shooting themselves. I think there is an idea that both of those films are separated … Continue reading Network (1976)

Attack the Block (2011)

March 27, 2017March 12, 2017 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Joe Cornish Attack the Block moves quickly.  It has the feel of an Edgar Wright movie, with fast action, quick dialogue and little time to waste.  The story takes place in South London over the course of one night.  A young gang, led by Moses (John Boyega), intimidates a woman walking on her … Continue reading Attack the Block (2011)

Rosemary’s Baby (1968)

March 26, 2017March 12, 2017 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Roman Polanski After watching this film with my roommates, I remarked how this didn't scare me like modern horror films.  I think we are desensitized to movie violence and jump-scares in a way that this film feels incredibly tame.  To me, movies have so much more to react against today than they did … Continue reading Rosemary’s Baby (1968)

American Graffiti (1973)

March 25, 2017March 12, 2017 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by George Lucas *the more I think about it, the more this might be one of my favorite movies. American Graffiti is a high school story set in the small town of Merced, California on one night in the early 1960s.  It follows a group of friends as they cruise the town, race cars, … Continue reading American Graffiti (1973)

The Panic in Needle Park (1971)

March 24, 2017March 11, 2017 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Jerry Schatzberg Bobby's (Al Pacino) and Helen's (Kity Winn) life is not pretty, and yet there's something in me that really wanted to buy in to the fragile life they tried to make together.  I found Helen to be adorable and Bobby to be incredibly charismatic.  This film is about devastating drugs, but … Continue reading The Panic in Needle Park (1971)

Unforgiven (1992)

March 23, 2017March 10, 2017 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Clint Eastwood In Unforgiven, Clint Eastwood plays an old cowboy, Will, trying to forget his old ways, and yet he falls right back into them.  Will lives with his two children in the middle of nowhere.  It's a quiet life, and we learn that he hasn't fired a gun in 11 years.  Before he … Continue reading Unforgiven (1992)

The Voices (2014) [Script Only]

March 22, 2017March 10, 2017 ~ Matt ~ 2 Comments

Written by Michael R. Perry (112 pages) The Voices is a dark comedy about a mentally ill man whose cat encourages him to kill people.  That's not the entire story, of course, because he also has a dog who tries to tell him not to kill people. Jerry gets himself in trouble when he accidentally … Continue reading The Voices (2014) [Script Only]
