It's one of those ones that you have to see, regardless of how boring it is.Rusty wrote:109 - Citizen Kane - 5.5/10 - This movie reminded me a lot of a stage play. It was okay and had some interesting parts, but was rather boring. I found it hard to care very much about most of the characters though I did like Bernstein.
The Rosebud thing is so ingrained in our popular culture that the twist isn't a twist anymore and some of the charm and reason why it was/is such a great movie is kind of lessened today. It's like the reveal of Darth Vader being Luke's father is no longer the "omg" moment it was years and years ago because it's not a shock.
It was a ground breaking movie and a model for all films to come afterwards, but it just doesn't hold up now-a-days.

Superman: DOOMSDAY.
It was okay, but I was disappointed. It could have been so much better. They changed the story from the comic quite a bit, which I was okay with, but I feel they missed it.
It looked great, the fight sequences were really good. The character models were very different from the animated show too, especially on Supes and Lex. They just looked odd.
The documentary about the comic was very good, though. And the sneak peek at the JLA New Frontier adaptation looks very good.

I'm not really keen on most animated movies, other than the Disney/Pixar/Miyazaki type. I might watch Superman: Doomsday eventually.
114 - Double Indemnity (1944) - 8/10 - This film noir classic stars Fred MacMurray as an insurance salesman who helps a woman (Barbara Stanwyck) in a plot to murder her husband and collect on the insurance money. The movie has lots of snappy dialogue courtesy of Raymond Chandler and was pretty entertaining.
