The way the Dr. is attracted to someone he modeled to look like his daughter is pretty ratchet. Otherwise I didn't find the plot or twists unacceptable, just not a film I want to see twice. I can't stand the burnt yellow tinge this entire movie has.. Insane artistic decision.
Scalpel
Year of the Dragon
Doesn't quite do it for me, in all regards. Has its moments though, at least a few. You'll be forced to use subtitles.
It's a goofy story - which I thought was, for the most part, entertaining.
Down and Out in Beverly Hills
Fear
For what it is they did a solid job. Very cool house, good overall scenery. Not sure why he was so obsessed with her, it would've been more believable if she'd played hard to get or if they spent a bit more time building the relationship up before tearing it all down. I'm not a huge fan of movies about a guy wanting to possess and ultimately mistreat his 'love' interest - It happens all too often in today's society, which I think takes away from the entertainment value of these types of films.

Devil in a Blue Dress
Very solid noir set in 1940s Los Angeles. It's the only noir I know of with a black detective, which they did a good job with. Me likey.

Stalking Laura
A story that's all too familiar and real in today's world.. Which I think takes a lot of the entertainment value away from this tragic film.. My community has seen worse. A super cheesy score through the first act doesn't help any.

Time After Time
Although a fairly entertaining watch, the time machine looks just a little too ridiculous for this endeavor to be taken seriously. Worth a watch, didn't earn a spot in my permanent collection.

Shaft's Big Score!
Another quality entry from Shaft! Can't go wrong.

The Laughing Policeman
Good cop movie with interesting premise set in beautiful San Francisco.

Burnt Offerings
This one is pretty creepy. Great acting, definitely worth a spot in my permanent collection.
Burnt Offerings
The Stepfather
Great movie, this dude is *very* creepy.

Boiling Point
Me likey this Snipes flic. A beautifully woven half police procedural and half the tragedy of a thief approaching the sunset of his life, trying desperately to make something of it before it's too late.
Boiling Point
Bone
This one is a nahh in my book. The film can only be explained if Bone isn't real. But how do two people start hollucinating the same guy at the same time? If Bone were one person's illusion, the film might've worked.
Bone
They Only Kill Their Masters
Decent James Garner flic.. Kinda felt like an extended episode of The Rockford Files.
