Good (6-8)

The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996): Larry Flynt is the hedonistically obnoxious, but indomitable, publisher of Hustler magazine. The film recounts his struggle to make an honest living publishing his porn magazine and how it changes into a battle to protect the freedom of speech for all people.

Working almost completely isolated from his department, he has to learn and practice the complex rules and signals of this society. But the work starts changing him.
My Comment: I always liked Karen Allen, although she only has a couple of short scenes. Also, it took me 30 years to find out the name of the Boccherini tune that plays at the end (it's uncredited).

FYI to anyone interested, but TubiTV.com currently has the movie Auto Focus (2002). It tells the life of Hogan's Heroes actor Bob Crane, concentrating on his promiscuous sex life, which he managed to keep mostly hidden, and his eventual 1978 murder at an Arizona motel. I watched it a few years ago and really liked it, possibly because I know someone who once worked for Crane's sidekick in the movie, John Carpenter. But it's a good film otherwise too.

Blow-Up (1966): A fashion photographer unknowingly captures a death on film after following two lovers in a park.
My Comment: Cheesy, dull, goofy British garbage.

Under Siege (1992) 7/10

So I have a love hate relationship with Steven Segal movies. I like the idea of the movies he's in but I don't like his acting, but I do appreciate his fight scenes are legit and thats always great to see.
The main reason I watched it was Tommy Lee Jones. Every movie I've seen with him in it has always been enjoyable even if he does play a horrible character.
Also its a 90s action movie, what's not to like? :lol

I just finished watching Notorious (1946). A Hitchcock classic, of course, and brilliantly directed. But what superb acting from Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains et al. When I was at drama school, and later studying Theatre Arts at university I always held the (apparently) unfashionable view that the first concern of any actor is to be understood by an audience. If that sounds like stating the absurdly obvious then watch Notorious, when you can, and tell me if you didn't understand every single word, even when the actors are whispering or speaking in undertones. Now THAT is acting. And that is why I prefer these older movies to almost anything the modern cinema has to offer. (10/10)

Death and the Maiden (1994): A political activist is convinced that her guest is a man who once tortured her for the government.
My Comment: I'll rate this barely mediocre, although it probably doesn't deserve even that. Can't stand Sigourney Weaver, who is just another angry, ugly bitch with an agenda. It seems I'm running out of good movies to watch that interest me.
Mediocre (4-6)

Le Samourai (1967, France, subtitled): After professional hitman Jef Costello is seen by witnesses, his efforts to provide himself an alibi drive him further into a corner.
Mediocre (4-6)

Zelig (1983): Fictional documentary about the life of human chameleon Leonard Zelig, a man who becomes a celebrity in the 1920s due to his ability to look and act like whoever is around him. Clever editing places Zelig in real newsreel footage of Woodrow Wilson, Babe Ruth, and others.
Mediocre (4-6)

Insomnia (1997, Norway, subtitled): In a Norwegian city with a 24-hour daylight cycle a Swedish murder investigator has been brought in on a special case. Sleep deprived, he makes a horrible mistake which is discovered by the killer he has been hunting.

Phantom (2013): The haunted Captain of a Soviet submarine holds the fate of the world in his hands. Forced to leave his family behind, he is charged with leading a covert mission cloaked in mystery.
My Comment: Loosely based on the 1968 sinking of the Soviet submarine K-129 in the Pacific - very loosely.
Mediocre (4-6)

The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition (2000): A retelling of Sir Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated expedition to Antarctica in 1914-1916, featuring new footage of the actual locations and interviews with surviving relatives of key expedition members, plus archived audio interviews with expedition members, and a generous helping of the footage and still photos shot on the expedition.

Peeping Tom (1960): A young man murders women, using a movie camera to film their dying expressions of terror.
My Comment: More overrated British silliness, especially the ending. Takeaway quote of wisdom: "Do you know what the most frightening thing in the world is? It's fear."
Also, as Wikipedia points out, why does a character supposedly born and raised in England have a German accent?
Mediocre (4-6)

Miracle Mile (1988): A young man hears a chance phone call telling him that a nuclear war has started and missiles will hit his city in 70 minutes.
My Comment: One of THE WORST MOVIES I'VE EVER SEEN. I also really dislike the two leading third-rate actors. I'm pretty sure I lost some brains cells watching this moronic drivel. I am now even more handicapped.

Manson (1973): Documentary on Charles Manson and his family. Has a number of insightful interviews with many family members most notably Squeaky and Sandy (Blue and Red). There is also a history of Manson from his birth to the family formation to the Tate/La Bianca murders. Plenty of footage of the family playing at Spahn Ranch.
My Comment: Good, except for the appearances of that blowhard, Vincent Bugliosi.
