The Way of the Gun 2000

★★★★★ Rewatched 26 Jul 2013

#4 on my all time fav films list. Everytime I watch The Way of the Gun I enjoy the hell out of it! Writer / director Christopher McQuarrie entered my radar when he wrote the excellent script for The Usual Suspects and I was super thrilled to learn that he was writing and directing a film. The 1st time I watched The Way of the Gun I was in love. The brilliant cat and mouse play between Parker and Longbaugh…

The Wolf of Wall Street 2013

★★★★ Watched 19 Mar 2014 2

One of Mr. Scorsese's finest films, The Wolf of Wall Street is a 3 hour tour de force brimmed with energy and fantastic acting.
Like so many other reviewers have already stated before me, it is a feat and an acknowledgement for a 3 hour film to only feel not even half as long, it is that good.
I don't think it is worth a 5 star rating but I did thoroughly enjoy the hell out of it and will definitely add this to my Blu-ray collection.
Strange Days 1995

★★★★½ Watched 30 Apr 2013 8

What a fantastic collaboration between James Cameron for writing this impressive 90's futuristic story and the screenplay and Kathryn Bigelow for directing this fantastic thrill ride! The film's got great leading performances from Ralph Fiennes as Lenny Nero, Juliette Lewis and Angela Bassett. The supporting cast is impressive too with solid performances across the board. The action sequences are simply fantastic, Kathryn Bigelow really shines in that department. This was my 1st viewing of Strange Days and expect to revisit this great film once either the US or UK blu-ray is released. Highly recommended!
