Here are my thoughts on both old and new films!
Quentin Tarantino has been hailed as one of the greatest writer/directors of our time and before this, I had only seen one of his films (Pulp Fiction).
Though Reservoir Dogs is not as great as Pulp Fiction, it is still a very enjoyable film and even better when you realize this was Tarantino’s directorial debut.
The Social Network is a modern masterpiece, and one of the few movies that portrays recent history in the right manner.
I was going into The Expendables 3 wanting one simple thing: good action. And that’s exactly what I got, with a few bumps along the way.
I did have a genuinely good time watching The Expendables 3, having no knowledge of the previous two movies, but just because I had a good time doesn’t make it a good movie.
Dead Poets Society absolutely blew me away.
I had never seen Dead Poets Society before, but after the passing of Robin Williams, I decided to review a film of his that I already loved (Good Will Hunting) and see one I had not previously viewed. I would say Dead Poets Society is at the caliber of Good Will Hunting, if not above it.
As I’m sure you have all heard by now, yesterday Robin Williams very unfortunately passed away. It really is terrible, as he was one of the most talented and inspirational actors of the past generation. The passing of celebrities is a very tough subject, as I want to respect their memories, so instead of discussing Robin Williams’s work at length, I decided to remember him and celebrate his body of work by re-watching and reviewing my favorite performance by him. I have actually never seen Dead Poet’s Society, but will watch it tonight and get a review out soon. But until then, let’s celebrate the role that won Mr. Williams an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, as it should have.
I am thoroughly convinced that if Titanic had not come out in 1997, Good Will Hunting would have won Best Picture.
