Haha, getting to this a day late because I attended a graduation ceremony for some of my college friends yesterday morning, and when I got home I decided to catch up on the Anime Club episodes I had missed, along with the new K-On! and Higashi no Eden episodes.
But now I am here, so there is no reason to fret. Hooray! Also, no Cat on a Hot Tin Roof because the DVD was scratched to hell, and I decided to hold off A Woman Under the Influence until this week.
Yor: Hunter from the Future (1983): Yes, I am counting this. :P As far as bad movies go, Yor is about an eight or so (Ninja Terminator is a 10, if you want a comparison). Yor hacks a bunch of dinosaurs/ape men, rips the wings off a giant bat and uses them to fly and good times are had by all.
Tropic Thunder (2008): Pretty funny movie. I love how completely over the top it is with everything. It really could be a Hollywood action movie if it weren't aiming for laughs, haha. Robert Downey Jr.'s character is my favorite in the movie because I always wondered what it would be like to deal with someone who stayed completely in character from start to finish during a movie filming. I think I would either completely avoid that actor, or attempt to have the weirdest conversation possible.
True Romance (1993): If I did not know beforehand that Quentin Tarantino wrote this, I probably would have been able to guess quickly, haha. It's a typical movie for him -- a lot of quick dialogue, a bunch of references (mainly martial arts references here, even though it isn't a martial arts movie) and some awesome cameos, including Gary Oldman as a pimp (this is maybe the weirdest role I have seen him play), Christopher Walken as a Sicilian mobster and Brad Pitt as a stoner. Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette are pretty good, too, as the main couple that nabs a crapload of cocaine and attempts to sell it off for some quick cash. I always wondered why Slater hasn't starred in more good movies. He is so cool and charismatic in his best roles.
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (1996): Just as good the sixth or seventh time around (I have lost count of how many times I have seen this, haha).
On the queue for this week: A Woman Under the Influence (1974) and Casablanca (1942)
