Forgot a couple I've watched in the past few days.
The Age of Shadows (2016)
This Korean film has some great cinematography and acting, but I ended up turning it off due to its overly graphic presentation. The story was a bit too straightforward.
The Sum of All Fears (2002)
I'm just not an Affleck fan. The movie is decent, but it's definitely no Clear and Present Danger. As for the Jack Ryan movies, I'd place it near the bottom. 6/10
A Bridge Too Far (1977)
This movie has some good acting and is amazing for its time at displaying an account of WWII. My only real complaints are that it feels terribly disjointed, is poorly paced and concludes without a payoff for the time invested (though that may be intentional as Operation Market Garden did the same). 6.5/10
The Last Samurai (2003)
This movie is beautiful, haunting, saddening, and hopeful all at once. The acting, the music, the locations, the atmosphere, all are fantastic. I'm not one for extreme violence, but this movie, for all of its graphicness, never feels grotesque or glorifying the violence it portrays. The themes of peace, discipline and fullness of life in each breath are inspiring each revisit. 9/10
