#9 Lester Burnhum (American Beauty)

He considers himself to be a pathetic loser and he is, at least he used to be because he has lost something, but its never to late to get it back.

 

  • Actor: Kevin Spacey
  • Quote:”Spectacular”
  • Action: Throws a plate against the wall to get his wife’s attention.

#10 Bill the Butcher (Gangs of New York)

He rules like a tyrant with an iron fist and will never live down a challenge. He’ll teach you english with a fucking knife as he would say and easily slips his way on to my top ten favorite characters of all time.

 

  • Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis
  • Quote: “Spared by the butcha”
  • Action: Dies a warrior, as he would’ve wanted to.

Retro Reviewing

Pretty soon I’m going to be reviewing movies before 2007, which is when I started this site and going to be calling it Retro Reviewing. I’m going to start at the end of 2006 and work my way backwards in the attempt to review every movie I’ve seen. If you have a movie you’d like to see reviewed, post it here. If I haven’t seen one that’s posted, I’ll try to netflix it. Enjoy.

#11 Tyler Durden (Fight Club)

He’s loud, obnoxious, and intelligent, but there’s a lot more to him that meets the eye.

 

  • Actor: Brad Pitt
  • Quote: “We were all raised to believe we’d grow up to be movie gods, rock stars, and millionaires, ut we won’t and we are very, very pissed off.”
  • Action: Takes a beating and laughs the entire time.

#12 Gunnery Sargeant Hartman (Full Metal Jacket)

He’s mean, cruel, loud, and damn good at what he does.

 

  • Actor: R. Lee Ermey
  • Quote: “You’re so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece”
  • Action: Yells at a guy who’s pointing a gun at him.

Wall-E Review

Wall-E is tremendous, astounding, and delightful. So far this year, it doesn’t get better then this movie. Everything in the movie is well-thought out, creative, and interesting to watch. The enviornments and characters are both colorful and entertaining. It’s visually spectacular. Pixar has never made a bad movie in my mind and I truly believe this is their best. What you’ve got is a lonely little robot who doesn’t need words to show emotion. All he needs is his heart, curiousity, and determination. It’s impossible to declare every pro of this movie because there are so many, it is also impossible to tell the cons of this movie because there are none. Pixar has geniously established a robot so realilistic that it doesn’t even say more than six words, but we know exactly what he’s thinking and what he’s fighting for, and that my friends is love. Wall-E is brilliant and entertainment at its best. You’ll laugh, cry, smile, and jump for what is in my mind the greatest animated film ever made.

Grade: A+
