#82- Giant

I LOVED THIS MOVIE. Ok ok ok. Rock Hudson? Elizabeth Taylor? James Dean? ALL IN ONE MOVIE? Puh-lease.

Not only is it a beautiful, sweeping tale, that begins in the 20's and ends in the 60's, but it makes one feel patriotic. WHICH I NEEDED AFTER SEEING PLATOON. The scenery, costumes, and acting are all beautiful. I'm telling you, after watching this wanted to move to Texas. And Marry Rock Hudson, but that's besides the point. Also, I think it holds a really good image of marriage. And horse rustlin', but that's not as important.

#83- Platoon

....Welp. There is at least one thing I now know about Charlie Sheen: he was cute in the 80's.

On another note, this film is highly disturbing. VIETNAM WHAT THE H?

On another note, I cried three times.

On another note, so not watching it again.

K thanks bye.

#84- Fargo

Well.... ok. If I were to describe Fargo in one sentence, I would say it is like some weird combination of Maria Bamford stand-up, and the bloodiest scenes from Reservoir Dogs by Quentin Tarantino. I'M NOT KIDDING YOU GUYS. This movie vacillates between the quaint and funny lives of Minnesota's finest, and some horrible, horrible non-Minnesotan people.

Ok, so picture this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFHmNrxkuFU

(Warning: The Reservoir Dogs clip is violent and profane.)

The Coen brothers are clever, and I really do Adore them, but this movie is defiantly not making it to my recommendation list. It was permanently banished from THAT list when one character pushed another character through a wood chipper. A WOOD CHIPPER YOU GUYS.

#85- Duck Soup

Welp. I was excited for this one because it's so classic, and remember the first time I saw it I really enjoyed it. But it was....meh. DON'T HATE ME. I was tired, which may have affected my entertain-ability, but Duck Soup was not that great. Maybe because it had such a thin plot. Maybe because I only like Harpo. Maybe because the grande dame of the film was annoying. Who knows! I would still say go see it, but I definitely prefer Day at the Races to Duck Soup. They seem to be having more fun in that one, ya know?

#86- Mutiny on the Bounty

This movie was incredibly horrifying. But in the way I like- a lot of the kind of injustice that can only be found in history. Well, that's debatable, but still! Injustice! Intrigue! Whipping-a-dead-man-kind-of-torture!

The movie begins with common men that are frequenting a bar. In barge some officers of the British Navy and there you are! Two years of their lives are now at the disposal of the British Navy, doomed to sail across the world, praying that they might once again see their homes before they die. But, as if that were not bad enough, the man who captains their ship is the most black hearted, cruel, and selfish man to ever captain a ship. Wait.... that's Black Beard. Well ok then, this guy is runner up.

In this movie you can enjoy the beauty and fiery temper of a young and smoldering Clark Gable, as well as the satisfying hatred of the deceased and evil. Did I mention it's based off a true story? There is injustice, hatred, rebellion- the works. Watch it if you are in a pirate-y mood!

#87- Frankenstein

So. 1931 Frankenstein. Well....

Weeeelllllllll..... it wasn't bad!

It was a little dark. A little boring. A little overdone. A little underdone.

The monster made me think of Boo Radly- a sweet, simple, wretched, lonely creature. HE JUST WANTED TO BE LOVED YOU GUYS. But his creator was all, "No! Even though I brought you into this world, and am therefore responsable for you, I'm gunna let my dumb assistant torture you, then let you escape and run wild while I go act like it never happened and get married." WHAT THE.

So that brings me to my next beef- NO ONE TREATED DR.FRANKENSTEIN WITH THE RESPECT HE DESERVED. Sure, what he did was incredibly immoral. But, regardless of that, what he did was AWESOME. He freaking created life from death! But, instead of people recognizing how awesome/what a genius he was, they were all, "You're not well! You're mad! You just need to calm down, behave, and get married. Silly Frankenstein. Science is for normal people." HE PUT LIFE INTO A DEAD BODY YOU GUYS.

I feel like He is one of the few roles we see on film who is treated poorly by a woman. His fiance is depicted as a beautiful, gentle creature, who just wants Frankenstein to settle down. But don't be fooled! She's a conniving little cat who wants Frankenstein to be her doormat, rather than the hero of science he is becoming. Her accomplice in neutering frankenstein- his father. These two people who claim to love Frankenstein really just can't accept his greatness and potential, and therefore, couldn't love him properly.

So ya.

Also- THE ENDING WAS WEIRD. I think they were trying to fool me into thinking things turned out ok. THEY.DID.NOT.

#88- Easy Rider

WHAT.THE.WHAT.
