: Playing God

I can see why this failed. Rather distasteful, confusing, and ultimately uninteresting. Supposedly we’re supposed to feel compassion for a doctor who’s lost his license being forced to work for a criminal, but who really cares?

: The Deer Hunter

Very different film from what I expected. I almost turned if off during the 45-minute wedding sequence, but stuck with it. Then suddenly we’re in Vietnam, and things were surprisingly interesting (I’m not a war movie fan). The ending and the character stuff and performances were tops. I don’t know that I need to this again, however. Maybe just fast forward through the slow parts.

: The Rage: Carrie 2

Lame. Not even 1% of the original. Got lots of reading down while watching.

: Election

Funny film, easy to confuse with Rushmore, but ultimately too light. Fun, but not great.
