Watched two Kurosawa movies recently: Throne of Blood and High and Low: Great movies, both of them. That said, although Throne of Blood was an excellent Shakespeare-adaption, I thought that High and Low was the more interesting movie. Of course, a part of that could be the fact that I'm unfamiliar with the source material and thus had no idea what was going to happen. Toshiro Mifune did a stellar job portraying the lead characters in both movies.

High and Low i such an oddity in Kurosawa's range that it makes for entertainment values based off of curiosity alone. The fact that it's also an incredibly tight thriller elevates it to one of his best.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?

Taking a break halfway through Lincoln. This must be one of the most boring movies I've seen in recent memory, and I'm a guy who loves three and a half hour foreign art films.

I mean, it's definitely a good movie, and Lincoln is probably my favorite president, but it's putting me to sleep.

I love Tarantino's screenplays.

Watching Beasts of the Southern Wild for class. I've been told that this is kind of like a live-action Miyazaki movie.
Sounds like a movie that doesn't feature cars driving faster than jet planes or a fascist alien regime attempting to derail an interplanetary death race with laser cannons.

Do yourself a favor and watch Redline instead.
Why am I not watching Redline?

I watched Cowboys & Aliens for the 1st time on Thursday. I liked how it started out as a fun western and turned a fun scifi movie.

:lol: Well that's one way to not fall asleep while writing a script. I'm still chuckling over the fact that he named someone WHITE GUY.
