Reservoir Dogs (1992) - 4/10
I watched this several years ago and just watched it again. Seems the more I watch this, the dumber it gets, so I better stop.

Spoiler Alert:
I don't understand what specifically killed Mr. Brown, the Quentin Tarantino character. One moment he's driving a car, albeit with blood on his forehead, the next moment he's dead.
Also, in the final scene, which is supposed to be a "Mexican Standoff", Nice Guy Eddie shot Mr. White, Mr. White shot Joe, and Joe had been aiming at Mr. Orange, lying already wounded nearby, although he apparently did not end up shooting him. I've watched this scene a couple of times and Nice Guy Eddie just seems to drop dead from a gunshot without anyone having shot at him.

8/10

I have not seen the trilogy in a very long time so of course I watched that to refresh my memory before watching the latest movie in the series. Overall, I liked it. I enjoy the esoteric.

Previous Game: The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me (Survivors: Charlie, Kate, Mark and the dog/R.I.P: Erin and Jaime)

Next Game: Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition

I actually watched this several years ago and while I don't remember too many details, I do remember I wasn't overly disappointed. I also read the book before that.

Dr. JJM, my dentist once received a birthday card I drew of Venom in the chair. Said a joke along the lines of "Put me on a flight for Formula 1 racing!"

Home Alone 1 (98/100)
We all know the story, amid the chaos of packing for a holiday during the holidays in France, 8 year old Kevin MacCallister is getting into trouble with his family. After a disgusting incident in the kitchen, he is forced to sleep on the hide-a-bed on the third floor. During the night, the power and phone lines get knocked out. The airport shuttle arrives and everyone is in panic mode trying to get to their flight on time...but they forgot Kevin. Kevin, who got in a fight with his mother the night before, thought he made the family disappear.

The cop that was at the house last night? That was Harry, one half of the Wet Bandits who flood houses as a calling card once they are burgled. (Actually, Marv, the dimwitted other half is the one flooding the houses.)

Meanwhile, in France, the family calls for help to send a police officer to check in on Kevin. Kevin's mother, Kate goes on to get back to her home to be with Kevin.

Meanwhile, Kevin makes the most of his time, going through his eldest brother's Buzz's stash of goods in his foot locker. And steals Buzz's life savings to buy a toothbrush. However, old man Marley appeared throughout the film and scares Kevin after Kevin hears that old man Marley was once the South Bend Shovel Slayer (killed his family and half the people on the block where he used to live. Lives in hiding and not enough evidence of mummified bodies levied against him.)

The theft of Buzz's money also broke his shelving and his tarantula's enclosure, so "Axl" as the tarantula was codenamed by production members would crawl throughout the house.

After shopping at the grocery store, Kevin is spotted by the Wet Bandits as he is setting up a Christmas tree. Marv is sent to investigate, but not recognizing the movie "Angels with Filthy Souls" or the sound of firecrackers blowing up in a metal pot, he runs back to the van and surmised they were beatened to their job and that someone was blown away.

By Christmas Eve, Kate is exhausted, dirty and just wants help. A polka band whose flight was cancelled offers her a ride to Chicago en route to Milwaukee in a budget van.

The Wet Bandits decide to return at 9:00PM to raid the house. Kevin decides to set up his traps after talking with old man Marley who sadly admitted he's not welcome with his son after an argument long ago. Kevin nudges a reconsideration into Marley's head and heads home to arm the house with childish but painful\deadly traps. One after another, after both men took a hit from a BB gun, the traps are activated. After cutting the Zipline rope, that lead to Kevin hung on the hook of the Murphys basement door. Just as soon as Harry was about to bite off Kevin's finger (this led to a scar on Macaulay Culkin's hand. It's not every day Joe Pesci bites you hard enough), old man Marley knocks out Harry and Marv. When the police finally come, the mess around the house is cleaned up, the traps are deactivated, Kevin goes to sleep, wakes up...

...takes some time to reunite with his family after hearing the sage advice about the complications of being in a family. He looks outside and old man Marley is reunited with his son and his granddaughter...but a scream of bloody murder from Buzz about the trashed bedroom means Kevin is in trouble...again.

In Poland, it's a traditional film to watch at Christmas time.

Fun fact: Director Chris Columbus had a fear of burglars, so John Hughes and Chris Columbus worked the movie to its final form

Funeral in Berlin (1966) - 8/10
Of the three spy movies based on Len Deighton's novels, I think I like this one best. This is basically James Bond "Light", and maybe a bit more realistic.

Buffet Froid (1979) - 1/10
Bizarre, unreal black comedy about solitude and the dehumanization of the modern world, through the adventures of three men. First introduced is Alphonse Tram, an unemployed young man. His only neighbor is the police chief-inspector Morvandieu. The third man is the murderer of Alphonse's wife.

I was only able to sit through about two-thirds of this steaming pile with English subs.
Edit: I watched the remainder a couple of days later.
