Good movie. Apparently of lot of white people come away thinking of Sal as the victim and a lot of black people come away thinking of Mookie as the hero...I was somewhere in between, I think neither were heroes and both were in the wrong and in the end, Mookie didn't do the right thing, which I think is what Spike Lee was trying to get across...but I don't know. The quotes at the end from Malcolm X and MLK muddle things too. Anyone else seen it have an opinion?

I'd never seen this before but so many people mentioned it in the "creepiest movie scenes ever?" topic I had to watch it. The movie itself is pretty lame - none of the deaths are very good/gory/inventive and the kids involved are too young for any gratuitous nudity, so it's kind of a chore to make it through...but the ending scene, holy shit what a brilliant twist of total unexpected weirdness. Definitely won't be able to forget that for a while...

Good entertaining Clint Eastwood Western, not his best but not his worst either...it was fun to see him as the sheriff systematically tracking down the guys who wronged him one by one.
7/10
Kind of a "real" look at relationships (or basically one relationship) between the amazing Zooey Deschanel and some dude, I could see a lot of people hating this but for some reason it struck a chord with me, even if I never really went through what the characters did...I probably wouldn't watch it again soon but I'm glad I saw it.
8/10
Wasn't really sure what to expect from this but I was surprised to find out it's not really a zombie movie...well there's zombies, but obviously the main message is how man's greatest danger to himself is himself and all that, which has been done before, but it was done very well here too. A pleasant surprise.
6/10
Campy fun, I'll always fantasize about what it would be like if a Westworld actually existed but man, so many plotholes abound once you start thinking about the logistics of such a place...
8.5/10
Great Western directed by and starring Peter Fonda and featuring Warren Oates. The story moves slowly, deals with unconventional Western subject matter, and features only about 3 minutes total of actual gunfighting. So anyone expecting a conventional, action-packed Western will hate it. Personally I loved it, and two things immediately struck me - the fantastic editing job (which, with all the fancy image burns and transitions and whatnot, some will say is to distract from the fact that there's no real story) and the amazing soundtrack by Bruce Langhorne I believe. The two combine for an opening sequence that I don't think I'll soon forget. If you like Westerns that are somewhat off the beaten path, check this one out.
