3/40

1. Akira -- I watched it because my friend was like, "I don't personally care about this movie but it's one you need to see if you want to sound educated and elitist when you talk to people about Japanese animated films." TETSUUOOOOOOO KANEDAAAAAA/10
2. Kung Fu Hustle -- that dude's buttcrack/10
3. Big Eyes -- dudes in the 50's were entitled dbags/10
I believe in second chances, and that's why I believe in you.

Movies 5/40
Movies with an asterisk in front are ones I've seen before.
1. * Election (Alexander Payne, 1999) - January 1 - Late 90s comedy classic. Love it.
2. Himizu (Sion Sono, 2011) - January 2 - Great film, but not quite as great as everyone says.
3. I Saw the Devil (Kim Jee-woon, 2010) - January 3 - Most disturbing movie I've ever seen. I still liked it though.
4. For the Love of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism (Gerald Peary, 2009) - January 5 - Decent documentary. Nothing mind-blowing.
5. The French Connection (William Friedkin, 1971) - January 15 - Not necessarily the best, but still a great example of why the 1970s is my favorite decade of American cinema.

1. "Trading Places." 10/10, genius comedy that teaches you a lesson or two.

2. "Are All Men Pedophiles?" 2/10, informative documentary but essentially pro-pedophile message.

6. Inherent Vice (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2014) - January 17 - The scenes of Joanna Newsom delivering the narration didn't work out as well, but other than that, this movie is **** fantastic. Can't wait to see it again.
7. Chinatown (Roman Polanski, 1974) - January 22 - Not the movie I was expecting it to be. Not better or worse than I expected, really, but just different. Good movie though.
8. Kingdom of Dreams and Madness - (Mami Sunada, 2013) - January 23 - Great look inside Studio Ghibli. Kind of makes me want to do more animation... which I haven't done in like 5 years now though.

The Deadly Mantis (23 Jan) - 2/10
Not as fun as Village of the Giants, but more competent than Rocket Attack USA or The Slime People.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

1. The Running Man - Jan 11 - 3/5
Action sequences are adequate, the whole setting and characters wear on you though
2. RoboCop (1987) - Jan 11 - 5/5
Way better than the remake. Excellent action throughout, never lets up.
3. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Jan 20 - 4/5
Very pretty. Started to drag so I thought it was going to be a 3/5, but it had a very exciting climax, so that gave it another point
4. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - Jan 25 - 5/5
Even more exciting than the first. Total cocktease of an ending

I've been following The X-Files through Netflix over the past few months and man was this a good movie.
