Movies

What I thought about 'em:
Two Lane Blacktop (1971 R ... although it is good, still, I wondered if in all these years since '71 something may've been edited out of it ... most all movies are some kinda fun, this'n I'd want to add to my personal collection if I were honing in
Rin and Stimpy: Seasons 1 & 2 (1991) Ur ... i don't know, what is it, man?
Out of Africa (1985) PG ... undercurrent's a little spooky at times, the surface is about as good as it could it, relationships
The Boys from Brazil (1972) R ... wow, it's got some interesting information ... stop and wonder, what if, helluva scenario
Gran Torino (2008) R ... family film on the surface, but, problematic yet fits that it's heavy with four letter words etc
... to note from recent viewings (we got Netflix again for a month free), Prometheus (2012 R), Badlands (1973 PG) and More (1969 Ur) -- hadn't seen any of 'em
