Hero (2002): Sumptuous & stylish. A joy to watch the story unfold.
Chocolate (2008): Loved the story, & it was an effective vehicle for some awesome fight scenes. Granted, can't help thinking that if you're attacking a little girl, with a meat cleaver, over a paltry amount of money, you should probably question your life choices.
Serial Mom (1993): Hilarious. I watched it with my 75–year–old Dad, who laughed a lot, proclaimed it "a real hard case", then insisted we put on Rocky Horror again
Shihad: Beautiful Machine (2012): Shihad's career is just interesting enough to be good doco material.
Inside Llewyn Davis (2013): Went right over my head. I probably would've enjoyed it more if I liked folk music. Not quite redeemed by that scene where they put Oscar Isaac, Justin Timberlake and Adam Driver in a room together.
Decline of Western Civilization Part III, The (1998): Just what you'd expect from interviewing a bunch of young punks – their views are a pretty blunt axe, but Spheeris knows the right questions to ask, & there's some interesting/poignant insight.
Blood Simple (1984): Lost interest pretty early on, never regained it.
Once Upon a Time in China (1991): Didn't really get into it. Lots of national politics I think, but mostly PWP. Probably shouldn't have tried to watch and play Candy Crush at the same time, granted.
Ong-Bak (Muay Thai Warrior) (2003): I only watch for the gratuitous acrobatics (SO gratuitous), but it's nice to have a story and be funny as well.
Middle Age Spread (1979): Slow. Lost interest.; DVD ~~$29.95~~ $22.45
