When it seems like the world has temporarily quit on you, never quit on yourself... there's always tomorrow, for dreams to come true: 41-50
Now we're in the top 50, this is no mess around territory, 50+ was largely sentimental... now we're getting a bit more objective; well, let's at least hope so
50 - Bernie "LOOOOOOOVE LIFTED ME !!" , a gifted performance by one Mr. Jack Black out of an excellent story. Mr. McConaughey and Ms. McLaine in a Texas fed banquet of love, oddity, and peculiar circumstances regarding a mortician's friend, oh my.
49 - Brokeback Mountain Ang Lee directs Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in this oddly effective odd to the west and homosexuality. There is just a strong underlying current to this gripping movie, and some lovely cinematography.
48 - Murder by Death The master is back again, Mr. Neil Simon, in an off-the-wall, dead pan spoof and satire genre with a "who's who" cast of 70s stars. Who wouldn't want to be locked up in this insane, gothic madhouse of a castle to play "who dunnit?"? Such fun !
47 - The Big Short We are in GFC 2.0, you didn't know. The "big big" crash of 2008, one for the ages... except this 2020 shit will be 3-5x worse, oh well. Ryan Gosling, Steve Carrell, and Brad Pitt head this stellar cast/script (oh shit and Christian Bale). Some of the best scenes this side of Glengarry Glenn Ross.
46 - Barton Fink The first film from the Coen brothers that really made me take notice. John Turturro was a revelation and he really hasn't hit that note since. Such an introspective, writer's type of movie. Entrancing and hypnotic, but with a bunch of good bit parts as well, and John Goodman's slow boil, ouch! Excellent.
ah, no one reads these, i'll finish later...
