I really dug it because I like anything to do with the 20s. Good tragic love story.
Great colors, costumes - music was okay, not sure if I liked the use of some of the hip hop music - really didn't fit, but they did work it into the movie well. And of course - Leonardo DiCaprio being easy on the eyes helped.

As possibly the biggest fan of bad slasher flicks ever, I should have loved this, but there were moments where even I was unable to suspend disbelief.
6? You're being very generous.

I worship Fitzgerald and I was really interested in seeing this despite the bad reviews, until I learned that the soundtrack is full of crap like Jay Z and Beyoncé. What the fuck were they thinking? I read the director supposedly chose lousy modern hiphop garbage to convey the societal significance of jazz in the 20s or some such incredibly stupid horse shit, and then I was finally convinced not to bother with the movie.
Schindler's List: 7/10
Never saw this one from beginning to end until recently. Good but friggin' one depressing film to watch. Runs a little long in parts but that's understandable.
Behind the Candelabra: 3/10
Talk about disturbing films to watch, this is one of them. I thought Michael Douglas played this one a little too over the top. Granted Liberace was gay, but I thought even he wasn't as outright and blatantly flaming when making public appearances as Douglas played him out to be.
And yeah, the Damon hump scene was a little much.
Saving Private Ryan: 10/10
Saw this one again over the weekend. Best war movie ever made. Much like The Ten Commandments on Easter, it should be required that they show this on TV unedited each and every Memorial Day.
How this movie wasn't Best Picture for that year I'll never know.

I saw Liberace live and I thought Douglas NAILED it.
I just wish they would have showed more of the professional relationship between he and Scott. The entire part of being the fur's butler was brushed over basically.
Janie Jones - 7/10. Cool rock'n'roll road movie/sappy coming of age fagfest. If the music wasn't so shitty, it'd be really awesome. Elizabeth Shue is hot in it for like 15 minutes. Also, a crackhead. As I said, hot.

Tell me that was the first time you saw it. That one falls under 'movies I never need to see again'.

The Big Town ensemble cast but full of ridiculous mob cliches and although it was a period piece set in the 1950s, being made in the 80s ruined it. I reeks of all that was wrong with the 1980s. 5/10
Gangster Squad read above. Ensemble cast, better story, better everything but I still walked away a little dissapointed. I can't pin it down. I "liked" it but I wanted to "love" it. 7/10
