30-37. Catching up (yes, again)

Well, so much for the plan to get back on track with my write-ups. Maybe this time it will work. Here's what, other than old Doctor Who serials, I've been watching over the past (yikes) almost a month:

30. Green Zone
Paul Greengrass, 2010
5.5/10

31. L'Atalante
Jean Vigo, 1934
7/10

32. M. Hulot's Holiday
Jacques Tati, 1953
4/10
To be fair, I feel a little more positively toward this one looking back at it, and I may like it more on a second viewing. But for now, I reacted to it about the same way I felt about Modern Times.

33. Kick-Ass
Matthew Vaughn, 2010
7.5/10

34. Belle de Jour
Luis Bunuel, 1968
8/10

35. Vivre Sa Vie
Jean-Luc Godard, 1963
7.5/10

36. Steamboat Bill, Jr.
Charles Reisner and Buster Keaton, 1928
8/10

37. The Room
Tommy Wiseau, 2003
1/10
And just to be clear, this isn't "1 out of 10 for being so bad it's good." This is for just being bad, without providing me that expected degree of sick enjoyment. Although there were moments.

Now, let's see if this time I actually do get back on track. The next movie I'm likely to watch is the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street - and I can only assume I'll have a little something to say about that.
