Gotta say I agree with Randle, Nurse Ratched sure is a fucking cunt. 

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a masterpiece, a perfect piece of filmmaking and well deserving of all its praise and awards. Milos Forman directs an incredible film, with all its technical aspects like sets and cinematography being superb.

Today is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the prisoners of the Auschwitz death camp during the final year of World War II.

Its definitely an imperfect film, especially compared to the best of the John Wick series. It has a weak villain with a decent performance from Gabriel Byrne, but his cult and…

“I heard you struck my son”
“Yes sir I did”
“And may I ask why?”
“Because he stole John Wick’s car sir, and uh…killed his dog”
“………oh………”

John Wick is still a banger. It’s surprisingly reserved compared to the later entries which are functionally blockbuster action films, where as this feels a bit more intimate and small scale. The movie looks great, it has an awesome aesthetic mix of both grimy and classy. John Wick is set apart from other…
