Recent movie viewings

Just some quick thoughts on movies I’ve watched recently

Maniac (2012)  
Score: 7/10
The music, and the cinematography were cool, creepy story, more weird than scary

Mama 
Score: 6/10
Decent horror movie, not one of my favourite Del Toro movies, nothing too scary really, Jamie Lanister stars

Django Unchained
Score: 9/10
Awesome,  probably my favourite Tarantino movie now. Loved the story, action and dialogue

Young Frankenstein
Score: 6/10
Was ok, think the humor is just before my time, the laughs were few and far between

Spaceballs
Score: 8/10
More recent Mel Brooks movie, much better, it helps that its spoofing a genre I like. Lots of memorable scenes

Seven
Score: 9/10
Fantastic Horror/suspense/crime movie. One of David Fincher’s best. Everyone is perfect in this movie, Pitt, Freeman, Spacey, Paltrow, all do great jobs. The Blu-ray looks and sounds awesome

Seven Psychopaths
Score: 9/10
Hilarious, saw it in theatre, bought it day 1 on Blu-ray. May not be for everyone, gets slow in some parts, but I loved it

Willow
Score: 9/10
A Classic, I love this movie.  The effects, story, music, actors (especially Kilmer) are great.  It feels like actual care and love went in to making the movie, although it does feel like they stole a lot of ideas from the Lord of the Rings books. Frodo / Willow, Madmartigan / Aragorn, etc
