First Half 2014 Updates

There are 3 films I am considering moving into my top 10 films of all time after finally (re)viewing them this year:

• The Shining (where I highly recommend a buy of the Rob Ager/Collative Learning DVD)
• Hoop Dreams, a film that affected people much like those in the Golden Age of Hollywood did with the indie hit, Citizen Kane. It deserves all the hype over films such as the Three Colors Trilogy and Pulp Fiction.
• Ghostbusters, something I've been working heavily on the 30th Anniversary of Ghostbusters review, but there's just a lot of notes to go through that I'm unable to make cohesive. If worse comes to worse, I'll just release them in separate chapters to help the flow of the notes.

I also watched the new RoboCop film. There's very little wrong with it. No plotholes. Nothing that raises and eyebrow, but it didn't really effect my brain like the original one did. None of the sequels/reboots have, which is a shame.
The political intrigue is interesting.
If they had made the film more about Samuel L. Jackson's character, it would've been a lot more interesting, albeit controversial. Luckily, they've tested it out and notably nobody raised an eyebrow to the film, so they can more likely go all out next film.
Joel Kinnaman has an interesting robotic voice.
The film is more post-9/11, more Blade Runner-ish.
