Happiness
Hell and Back
The Mask of Zorro

Queen of the Damned

Re: Rate/thoughts on recent purchases: Part Deux

Yeah.

I saw The Bone Collector in the cinema in the fall of 1999. I thought it was pretty entertaining.

On the other hand, Happiness (1998) was one of the most revolting films I've ever seen. Worse than Salo but with a fraction of the entertainment value. 2/10

Re: Rate/thoughts on recent purchases: Part Deux

The Mask of Zorro - 8
Mission: Impossible - Complete Film Series - 6-4-6-7-8
Queen of the Damned - 5
Welcome to the Dollhouse - 7

Blu-ray:

Godzilla 2000 - 7. I still own this on VHS, heh.

Welcome home, Mr. Bailey

Re: Rate/thoughts on recent purchases: Part Deux

I think Godzilla 2000 was actually the first film in that series I saw, when it first came out on home media. Liked it enough to make me wanna see every other Godzilla movie, except the one from last year that I haven't caught up to yet.

Re: Rate/thoughts on recent purchases: Part Deux

The new Japanese one is decent, but not quite best of the franchise material. If you're a completist of the series like me, then you won't have any trouble sitting through it, but I found it slightly disappointing, albeit with a couple of highlights.

Welcome home, Mr. Bailey

Re: Rate/thoughts on recent purchases: Part Deux

The Mask of Zorro is such a good swashbuckler. One of my favorites of all-time. Banderas is hilarious


"Ayyyyye"

Re: Rate/thoughts on recent purchases: Part Deux

Happiness - 9/10. Buckle up for this one, haha.
The Mask of Zorro - been too long for me to fairly rate it. I recall being not too into it, though.
Mission: Impossible series - the first, fourth and fifth are the good ones, IMO.
Welcome to the Dollhouse - 9/10. Some more Todd Solondz, I see. I imagine that this one should go down a little easier for you than Happiness. Really good coming-of-age film.
