End of Watch - I don't know how much it really needed to take the "handheld" format (and because it's going for that, there are more than a few times where you're wondering who is filming this scene or that scene or why they are still filming), but I also know that I didn't end up caring AT ALL.

I thought this was really good. Bolstered by an EXCELLENT performance from Jake Gyllenhaal, and a script that perfectly balances the worrkaday humdrum in with the wild action, honestly, these character talk and act so much like real people, that you really don't even notice how seemlessly this goes from a movie about two cops on the streets to one about a Mexican drug cartel waging war on two cops on the streets.

I approach this from the point of view that the movie isn't meant to be told through handheld footage, but rather, it just so happens that SOME of the characters have cameras and we OCCASIONALLY get to see things through that point of view.

Either way, REALLY good.

Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.

In anticipation of Django coming to BD in a few weeks I've started rewatching all of his previous movies. They are so amazing. I never noticed this before though, but the Vincent Vega name is used for both Madsen and Travolta between the movies. That is pretty cool.

I'll check it out when sometime this month.

I've seen From Dusk Til Dawn, it's pretty good.

From Dusk Till Dawn is another one of those vampire movies that seems to be fairly well regarded by everybody but I can't stand.

I really want to like Dusk til Dawn, but i have too many issues with it.
