HeroHero (2002)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) Sumptuous & stylish. A joy to watch the story unfold.
ChocolateChocolate (2008)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) 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 MomSerial Mom (1993)
4 stars (Very Good) 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 MachineShihad: Beautiful Machine (2012)Aro Favourite
4 stars (Very Good) Shihad's career is just interesting enough to be good doco material.
Inside Llewyn DavisInside Llewyn Davis (2013)Recommended
2 stars (Good Try) 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, TheDecline of Western Civilization Part III, The (1998)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) 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 SimpleBlood Simple (1984)Recommended
2 stars (Good Try) Lost interest pretty early on, never regained it.
Once Upon a Time in ChinaOnce Upon a Time in China (1991)
2 stars (Good Try) 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-BakOng-Bak (Muay Thai Warrior) (2003)Aro Favourite
4 stars (Very Good) I only watch for the gratuitous acrobatics (SO gratuitous), but it's nice to have a story and be funny as well.
DVD $19.95
Middle Age SpreadMiddle Age Spread (1979)Aro Favourite
2 stars (Good Try) Slow. Lost interest.
DVD $29.95 $22.45
