What movies did you watch last week (04/16-04/23)

Here's mine:

Commando (1985 Bluray): I never heard much about this movie but I was under the impression that it was gonna be an all-out war action in the jungle or something. It was not the case at all. It was not all bad but it was not nearly as good as I thought it would be. The story is as simple as it gets and it unfolds very slowly. I've watched so many action movies that I'm kind of tired of scenes of people following other people but there's a lot of this in this one. Also, the way they included the women in the plot was just ridiculous and he should've never picked her up after he stole her car. And why did she follow him after? Cheap car chases, crappy shootouts, poor fight scenes, not what I was in for. Arnold running to places, Arnold sneeking into places... This Arnold movie finds itself at the bottom of my Arny movies. Here I was Thinking I had been missing out on a great film... 5.5/10

Project A ( "A gai wak" 1983 DVD): I said it before and I say it again ; Jackie Chan is the greatest actor/director/writer/stunt director ever. The guy's a real phenomenon. Right off the first minutes of this movie I was smiling and I kept smiling and laughing untill the end. Some of the coolest, funniest, craziest fight scenes I've ever seen. The very first one (the Navy VS the police) was memorable. The one with the bikes was also original. There was a few major editing flaws but it just made it all funnier. This one is right up there with Police Story. 8/10

Sling Blade (1996 blueray):Since I watched Fargo season one, I have a sudden crush on Billy Bob Thornton so I bought Sling Blade and The man who wasn't there. Not only did he wrote and directed this one, he also pulled off an amazing performance. Karl is a captivating character, you can't help but keep your eyes on him and observe him. The rest of the cast was perfect too. The dialogues are very good as the movie consist mostly of conversations. When a simple scene of a man and a boy sitting in the grass at night talking can send chills down your spine it just proves the quality of the screenplay. This story is original the cinematography was beautiful and the music worked very well. 9/10

13 Reasons Why (2017 Netflix): So I finished all 13 episodes. I don't want to spoil anything so I'll just say that the first 11 episodes are all solid and interesting but never really great. Then you get to the last two episodes and that's when shit gets real. Some tear jerking material that will leave you speechless. I think it's unfortunate that this is not a two hour movie because every teacher should have its students see this. It's eye-opening on a subject that we are all already aware of, but to the whole new degree. I always love watching things that are a bit shocking and this one really got to me in the end. Overall: 8.5/10 and thats mainly because they had the guts to go all the Way.
