I found Heigl too brittle and the film somewhat sexist (surprisingly) but more watchable as it grinded on.

Subdivison (2009) Sue Brooks 4/10

Search for Beauty (1934) Erle C Kenton 5/10

Runaway (2001) Kim Longinotto & Ziba Mir-Hasseini 6/10

Torch Singer (1933) Alexander Hall & George Somnes 5/10

Morphine (2008) Aleksey Balabanov 9/10

well, i found it entertaining, but it's not like Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill (Vol.1 /I hate Vol. 2, btw/) or Deathproof... I loved Pam Grier and Robert Forster, but overall it was, to me, just a good entertaining movie, nothing more.
Can't wait to see Ingluoruos Basterds.

/Kill Bill: Vol. 1/ (QT) - 9/10

I really love this movie. I can't be objective. It's outwardly anti-intellectual but it's such a rhythmic cassette mix of the bullshit going on in this dorkus' head. What was to come in Vol. 2 was such a let-down.

6.5/10

A bit dated but very well made overall. Snodgress is very good. She had everything in oder to have a great career. I wonder what happened to her....
What happened to her was she abandoned her career after Diary of a Mad Housewife to raise her handicapped son by Neil Young. A planned comeback opposite Sylvester Stallone in Rocky fell by the wayside over a salary dispute. She did make a comeback of sorts in Brian De Palma's Fury in 1978 but roles after that were scarce.

She was always fascinating to watch, though, with her best late career role coming as Brad Pitt and Ricky Schoeder's down-on-her-luck mother in the little seen Across the Tracks (1991).

She died of cancer in 2004 at the age of 58.
Her voice was amazing as well

The Fog of War (Errol Morris) - 7/10
Very engrossing dash through history. Morris can never quite get anything incredibly revealing from McNamara only implied deflections, but he's a very entertaining case study.

Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A Leuchter Jr. (Errol Morris) - 8.5/10
What I like about Mr. Death more than The Fog of War is that it only spends roughly a third of the film taking us through the lead character's pathology. The rest becomes a sick joke as this nebbish who lives his check-list life becomes infamous, and subject to Morris' subtle equations of technical proficiency to egomania and allusions to Naziism. Not as many delicious parallels as in Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control.
