Better Call Saul: Plan and Execution (2022)
9.999999999999999999999999999
Great episode. Definitely one of the best of the show. Maybe the best. The very suspenseful twist ending is just perfect. That final scene is so memorable. Great cliffhanger too.
When They See Us (2019)
Underrated essential viewing
First off let me say the world will never be the same without Michael k Williams. It's been a while since anything hit me as hard as this series man. The corruption is infuriating. The coerced interrogations are horrible. What korey wise went through is absolutely harrowing and horrifying especially considering his innocence. A series like this is less entertainment and more just important.
Trainspotting (1996)
Addictive movie.
Perfectly directed by Danny Boyle. Perfectly acted by the whole cast. Great writing based on a book I'm now pretty interested in getting read. So many memorable scenes and lines. With a great soundtrack too! A very comedic yet real look into the pitfalls and horrors of addiction.
Paths of Glory (1957)
F the bosses
The first time I saw this movie I thought it was absurd. There's no way that trench warfare was really this draconian, authoritarian and senseless . The more I looked into it the more I found that it's not far off. Rogue generals with impossible ideas. Pettiness among the ranks. Great movie!
Fargo (1996)
A great crime comedy
It is very violent and disturbing but is so cynical and everyone is so polite that it makes it funny. The upper Midwest dialogue and accents are funny. All the actors are great especially William H and Steve buscemi. Another Coen classic.
No Country for Old Men (2007)
Anton sugar
Is so good it's almost a horror movie. He's like if Michael Meyers could talk. A hunter stumbles upon a cartel deal gone wrong and tracks down the money. He is then stalked by Anton. The cinematography, acting and directing is all superb.
L.A. Noire (2011)
Would love a new installment.
Just finished the game for the 6th time and thought... rockstar should work on la noir 2 after gta 6 is finished. It's a slower more interactive and investigatory game but still fun and expertly made. I love the references to noir movies lol.
Vertigo (1958)
I LOVE the soundtrack.
Plot is a bit of a head scratcher, at least the first few viewings but the acting, soundtrack and cinematography are top notch. Very "every frame of painting" type movie.
Léon (1994)
Go watch the directers cut Netflix people.
My number 4 favorite all time. About 30 minutes were cut out of the theater cut and they are some of the best scenes in the film. Natalie Portman and jean reno are great. Perfect chemistry but honestly they are outshined by Gary oldman who plays a corrupt, drug addicted DEA agent. His performance is almost proto's Heath Ledger's joker in my opinion lol. Very unique crime drama thriller. Couldn't recommend it more. Especially the directors cut!
Cop Rock (1990)
🎶"WE FOUND TRACES OF SEMEN ON THE CORPSE"🎵
Ghghghghghghghghgyhyhyhyhyhyhyhybyhpepepepepepepepepe.
The Wire (2002)
This show makes law and order look like "cop rock" LOL
Perfect crime series. Season 3 and 4 are perfect. The perfect writing is great headed off by great actors.
12 Angry Men (1957)
Reasonable doubt vs prejudice.
One of the greatest scripts ever written with great acting to carry it. Its a simple plot made extraordinary by the nuances of the case.
Taxi Driver (1976)
Dark and gritty character study.
One of de nero's best performance and one of Scorsese's best films. Its a great character study of loneliness and decent into madness. Although i will say Travis bickle is probably the best anti hero ever. Sure hes crazy. He wanted to assassinate a presidential candidate but he ultimately kills some sleazy pimps pimping a 12 year old. Great movie, my favorite soundtrack (perfect noir soundtrack) and great acting. Direction, writing and cinematography as great as you can get. 10/10.
Joker (2019)
Deep and entertaining.
Just to spite the person below me. Reminds me a lot of taxi driver of course. Similar character arch and style of direction. Its stands alone as a great character study none the less. Joaquin phoenix's performance was definitely Oscar worthy. 10/10.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)
Warzone is dog💩
The campaign story is ok. Multiplayer is fun. I imagine everyone who plays warzone as the wow character from south park. So many tryhards it makes it insufferable...
M - Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder (1931)
Probably my favorite foreign film.
Peter Lorre's performance is chilling. The plot is very interesting and easy to follow. Its a great social commentary as well. Great psychological thriller. Great serial killer movie!
Gran Torino (2008)
The person below me...
Is a nazi psycho. Read his other reviews... wow. Feel sorry for the little guy. Oh and great movie by the way!
Red Dead Redemption II (2018)
The best piece of entertainment ever created
This game is perfect. Ive played through the story 6 times and its still fun. Not really much else to say.
Boyz n the Hood (1991)
Black noir.
Great soundtrack by Stanley Clarke. Throughly great acting and direction. The dude who killed Ricky actually when to jail for murder and was murdered in jail. Crazy story.
Menace II Society (1993)
Larenz Tate deserved a supporting actor nomination
Great hood movie. Great chemistry between cane and o dog. Stylistically it kinda reminds me of goodfellas. Its a violent, dark and gritty crime drama with great narration. O dog is one of my favorite characters ever. The ending is absolutely brutal.
The Usual Suspects (1995)
Ol McDonald had a farm ei ei oh and on that farm he shot some guys....
Great crime comedy. Great mystery. Perfect acting (especially from Spacey) with very witty writing. The direction and soundtrack are very good. Who is Keyser söze?
Breaking Bad (2008)
Season 1-3 great. Season 4-5 PERFECTION.
A high school chemistry teacher gets lung cancer. His DEA agent brother in law takes him on a ride along to a meth bust. He sees one of his former students. He forces him into a partnership and unbelievableness ensues. Walter white and jesse pinkman are two of the greatest characters ever created. Hank too. Skyler is kinda annoying but i get her reasoning. Her husband is slowly becoming the Pablo Escobar of meth and she is worried for her children. Season 4 and 5 are the definition of perfection. Giancarlo Esposito is great as Gus. Bob Odenkirk is great as Saul the corrupt lawyer. Its my favorite show and im not sure it will or can ever be topped.
The Sopranos (1999)
Perfection.
Its violent, misogynistic, homophobic. Its funny, charming and witty. Tony Soprano is the best character ever created. There's never a dull moment and it's always interesting. If you dont like crime dramas go watch endgame or GOT 🤢💩
The Apartment (1960)
A darker comedy than I expected.
Cc baxter is a push over at work. He lets his boss use his apartment for hook ups and tryouts. One day a elevator operator named fran in which they are both in love with tries to kill herself in Baxters apartment. He spends the rest of the movie trying to make her happy and get back at his boss who uses both of them for his own gain and to their determinate. Great performance all around and excellent direction from Billy wilder!
L.A. Confidential (1997)
"Is that how you use to run the good cop, bad cop?"
Terrifically witty noir throwback. 3 "good" cops fight against their own corrupt department. They get caught up in a scandal involving a mass shooting at a coffee shop. But is everything really as it seems? Are the suspects really guilty or is there something deeper for the 3 to find. I wont spoil anything but this is a must watch in my opinion.
