Brooklyn's Finest

Brooklyn's Finest is a movie I saw in theaters when it was released, and although it received some mixed reviews, more negative than positive, I feel like it was underappreciated. Starz on Demand recently put the movie up on their channel and I watched it again, and really enjoyed watching it because I noticed a lot more detail than I had the first time. It takes the commonly used plot involving police and drug dealers set in New York but the creators took it to a different level and switched it up a bit. It tells the stories of the lives of two police officers and a man trying to get out of the ghetto life, and shows how they're all so different yet so similar. I don't want to give away what happens but I think we should watch this movie in class because aside from being a good modern action film it's also very well thought out.

The Seventh Seal

The Seventh Seal has been a great movie so far, although somewhat difficult to watch. I disagree with Mr. Bennet that watching a movie with subtitles is a plus, because I see the foreign language as more of a distraction. I feel like I can appreciate the film much more if it's in a language I know. I do however like that this movie has some humor in it, or at least more than the others that we've watched. I see it as ironic that we're watching a film that illuminates how death is inevitable and yet it has gotten more laughs out of the class than the others.
