Still sick, marathon ensues:
DOWNLOADED -
It's the story of Napster. It was pretty interesting if you like documentaries.
PSYCHO III -
Still pretty strong, I don't know why I didn't watch these before, I guess I assumed they were awful, but no. A lot more gore than before, pretty strong performances. Worth a watch.
TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL -
Two simple folk get mistaken for cannibal hillbillies. I liked it a lot, it's pretty funny and sweet in places and you should watch it if you haven't already.
then began the William Friedkin blitz...
JADE -
I can't believe Friedkin thinks this is one of his best, and I'm pretty sure it's ONLY ruined by the dude from CSI Miami. He's not very good in this at all.
RAMPAGE -
Really good serial killer court room drama.
Killer Joe -
This was amazing, it can turn between very funny and super disturbing within a scene. You can see why Matthew McConaheyheyhey got True Detective. Definitely one of Friedkin's best movies to date. Up there with The Exorcist and To Live And Die In LA
Rules Of Engagement -
Pretty good performances but kind of simple court room drama thing about the army. It's not bad, but it didn't really grip me.
The Hunted -
This was Friedkin's Rambo. Which leads to an eventual long punch up and I didn't really care. It's not bad. It's fine if you're sick I guess, not too complex for my bad brain, but not one of his best
To Live And Die In LA -
Thought it was worth a rewatch because the last time I saw this someone gave me a white powder that made me go funny (i thought it was something else, it was shit and made me feel sick) I think it holds up still, the cast is good, the characters have some depth and that ending is great.
They all had car chases in them. Please don't make me choose between Friedkin and Verhoeven.
