The first two movies were kind of average you could say but with some interesting aspects. Well, I can only say Brad Pitt played his roles very well. Nontheless Kalifornia felt a bit like a trashy movie with a lineup of big stars. The end of the Devil's Own was easy to predict at some point. Big shoutout to the two hotties Michelle Forbes and Natasha McElhone. Both were absolute beauties in the movies.
The Town was an interesting movie about bank heists. For years I have seen scenes out of it all over the Internet...was never able to identify the movie. Out of the blue I found it a week ago and watched it today. It was great but a bit too long with some rather boring or less interesting scenes. Rebecca Hall also a really beautiful woman.
Sling Blade was a really great movie with one of my favorite actors Billy Bob Thornton. I barely recognized him. He played his role so well. The story is very interesting. Very well deserved score of 8 out of 10.

LX 2048 was a rather disappointing movie. When I got it to watch it was pretty new and had only a few reviews giving it a higher score of above 6.0 of 10. I watched it many weeks later and now more reviews are online and the score dropped to 4.7. I guess well deserved because it was kind of boring. Although I have to admit that the subject seems rather interesting.
Accident is one of those Hong Kong movies about something criminal always going on. In that case it was about a gang that are hitman for hire. They create accident like situations that cause the death of their target... thus giving no information like finger prints, DNA or anything else to the police. It always looks like a genuine and unfortune accident. One of the contracts went wrong due to mistakes made and the story took a bad turn for the whole crew. It is a really interesting movie and if you like Chinese movies it is worth to watch it once at least.
Running Scared is a great movie with Paul Walker. It is now 14 years old but is still great. This is actually a rewatch because I have seen it long ago on TV and after that at some point on Netflix (it is not longer available there).
The Cloverfield Paradox was a movie I watched due to it being part of the Cloverfield movie series. Well, sadly it wasn't that good as the original Cloverfield or 10 Cloverfield Lane.

Gotti is one of the greatest movies about the Mafia and John Gotti. You should watch it. It's up there with Godfather and many other Mafia movies.
