Had a few first-time viewings this weekend...
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986). It's really rough around the edges, but an early performance by Michael Rooker, it was enjoyable purely on face value. Him and his co-star Tom Towles made it entertaining despite it's low budget.
Dark City (199
. If this were made today it would be phenomenal. Reminded me a lot of why I really liked Daybreakers. It was a bit ahead of it's time, and it's not all there, but has some really great atmospheric stuff.
Cronos (1993). Guillermo Del Toro's feature length directorial debut. The film is beautiful for being shot nearly 20 years ago, but I guess that's Criterion for you. I really loved the mix of Spanish/English characters. It's very quirky at times, very dark at times. I really enjoyed it though.
Inferno (1980). Giallo cult-Director Dario Argento directed this, and it just isn't upto snuff with his other stuff. Don't know if any of you guys have ever seen any of his other stuff, or Giallo in general, but he should have stuck with Giallo, because his supernatural stuff I've just never had a taste for. Profondo Rosso is one of the best I'ev ever seen from him, and this is just a huge step backwards.

Henry was a GREAT movie. I think Rooker showed some range in this movie that we don't ever really see from him again. He was kind of type cast since then.
Dark city was ahead of it's time in ways. Agreed.

This film is the true definition of how not to glorify criminals and violence in movies. I think the low budget and roughness is what gives the film it's edge and keeps it fresh today.

Just saw rounders for the first time. Awesome movie. They had me at the Frazier/Monroe reference haha. I was cracking up when he met the guy named Knish at a damn Bania.
the only thing that seemed underdeveloped was Damon's relationship with that girl who fronted Norton's character two grand. seemed pointless

marathon man is sick and not slow. up in smoke is hilarious. The tenant is great if you like Polanski. I downloaded paper moon haven't watched it yet but it sounds good. Kramer vs Kramaer is supposed to be a classic. Conversation isn't his best but it's a solid movie
