    Dirty Dingus Magee

    ½

    "You know if I was gonna scroll up a cinema, I'd scroll up Dirty Dingus Magee." Crow, from the MST3K episode, Overdrawn at the Memory Bank (1997)

    Ol' Blue Eyes and George Kennedy team up and backstab each other in this dim-witted unfunny western comedy. Co-written by Catch-22's Joseph Heller!

    Hard Eight

    ★★★½

    The first film by Paul Thomas Anderson is a good crime/character study that lacks the scope of Boogie Nights but still has nice intimacy amongst the main characters. I can see PTA's early style start to emerge, including him using a hand-held camera and it sweeping around.

    Gunbuster vs Diebuster: Aim for the Top! The GATTAI!! Movie

    ★★½

    Fairly decent compilation films that broadly cover the basic plot points and explosive moments of both OVAs. Unfortunately, because of time, many aspects of each story have to be trimmed, leaving them both weaker. In my opinion, you should just watch the OVAs.

    Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time

    Watched the 3.0+1.01 version in a normal theater.
