The Million Dollar Hotel (2001) Wim Wenders directs all star B-cast of down n out LA hotel-dwellers being investigated 4murder by Mel Gibson in a future-neckbrace its a rare Jeremy Davies starring-vehicle thats campy, sad, & beyond unique original story by Bono **** #lilweeviews
The Hollywood Knights (1980) an underdog in the class of Last American Fast Times at Porkys stinks w/raunch & it'd still be controversial today. Filled w/pre-stars & randomly the most socially inclusive of the class its The Superbad or Dazed&Confused of its time *** #lilweeviews

How Green Was My Valley (1939) essential film about the workings of life sets script performances story direction all above & beyond about a family in a Welsh mining town making it work. Its all here, just about everything you need + Roddy McDowall as a wee lad **** #lilweeviews
Warrior (2011) a heartwarming tale of 2 bros, an army deserter & a schoolteacher, beating up the odds & each other at a UFC event. Weird in our world but in a world of Beethoven remixes where drunk Nick Nolte is ur dad & Kurt Angle is an evil Russian it is glory *** #lilweeviews
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) is so 2001. It is, perhaps, the stupidest movie ever made & hopefully the only instance of Jon Voight playing Angelina Jolie's dad. TR is an impossibility of a film, simultaneously the worst & best videogame adaptation of all time **** #lilweeviews
True Confessions (1981) parallel brother stories of rising star cop Duvall & falling star priest DeNiro grittygross search 4 meaning in a pool of 50s LA corruption around fake Black Dahlia the direction is a lil jumpy but its unique & worth it if u like 80s noir *** #lilweeviews
the Score (2001) a time-capsule of early-aughts cinematic stylings 3 acting legends plan a mission-impossible style heist of a shiny scepter in Quebec Nortons offensive affection fits scummy character De Niro has class & older BRANDO has a blast its entertaining *** #lilweeviews
UPDATE: upon further contemplation I think the whole point is Im supposed to be upset by the ending & I get that but geez its a tough thing to reconcile anyway this film is deserving of more than two stars been thinking about it all day & I WILL watch again soon *** #lilweeviews
Calvary (2014) Ill need 2 watch it again: priest serves Irish town of people that demean him then ask for help. No one seems to get it and everyones putting on a show, including him? Perfect acting writing pacing w/an ending that pretty much ruins the whole thing ** #lilweeviews
Le Confesioni (2016) leader of the IMF brings a monk to the G8 to take a confession before dying mysteriously the 1st night & the rest of the bankers scramble to exploit the situation silly & cute like if Being There was a murder mystery good msg delivered slowly ** #lilweeviews
Exterminators From the Year 3000 (1983) entertaining enough MadMax/RoadWarrior Italiadub clone changes things up with a robot boy and anti heroes that screw each over enough to endear themselves to one another. Cool score lots of bad in a watchable way NO BUDGET *** #lilweeviews
A Real Job (2001) true indie no-budget romcom asking the eternal question of whether one should sell out & join the race to the top or keep working at the video store 2 save your soul This movie was shot on digital video I think & its most unique & entertaining! *** #lilweeviews
The Pillars of the Earth (2010) 8hr TV adaptation predates GameofThrones w/an end gory steamy mystery thats somehow campier & so much better war & death surround unified monk effort 2 build a vaulted cathedral faith survives the direst straits Ian McShane 4ever **** #lilweeviews
