Director: Bentley Dean His 4th Movie My 1st movie watched from the director

A documentary filled with stunning imagery and beautiful control from the cinematographer. The surfing is appropriately the best part and what kept us interested. The people in it I din't care so much about. The story actually kind of bothered me, especially the moments when he is apparently caring so much about his wife and kids and the goes and faces death for not a strong enough reason. But I guess I'm not addicted to giant waves.

Director: Paul Schrader His 2nd Movie My 8th movie watched from the director

This movie came out exactly thirty years before "Taken" and shares so many similarities. They are both very entertaining, but this one is far less violent. The ending was also quite a different tone... I don't want to spoil what happens. As with Neeson, this happens to be one of George C. Scott's best roles as it really showcases his range and asks him to go outside his previous reputation.

Director: Nisha Ganatra Her 6th Movie My 1st movie watched from the director

Yes, it's full of cliches and it's sometimes dull, but I at least wanted to watch the whole thing... though the ending was bland, too. Hell, at least Emma Thompson was really great in it, a solid role for her.

Director: Robert Rossen His 10th (and Final) Movie My 3rd movie watched from the director

Beatty and Fonda are pretty strong in this, but it's Seberg's movie the whole time. She is incredible, making it impossible to keep your eyes off of her, with her beauty, but also with her performance. It's one where you never know what she is going to do, in basically every scene. Also, Gene Hackman surprised me, showing up late in the film and delivers a strong one-scene-only performance. It's a mysterious movie that never gives us the full answers to our questions. There are some confusing scenes that seemed unnecessary and the ending was pretty rough.
