Tarzan The Ape Man (1932) - the "Terminator" of it's day.
Tarzan and His Mate (1934) - the "Terminator 2" of it's day. Both have wall-to-wall violence (human vs. human, animal vs. animal, human vs. animal, etc.), implied sexuality galore (underwater nude skinny dipping, unreal for '34) and ridiculous amounts of pulp fiction hijinks. I loved them, and Weissmuller and O'Sullivan make for one seriously hot pre-Hays movie couple.
Tarzan Escapes (1936) - the Hays code neuters the king of the jungle's mojo and her queen's sensuality with a silly "Flintstones"-like home and an underwhelming adventure (with too many reycled scenes from the previous two "Tarzan" flicks). Still mildly fun but not as good as the previous two.
Alfred Hitchcock's Sabotage (1936) - tight and tense pre-WWII British thriller. I can't belive the balls Hitch showed with the bomb sequence on the bus (it shocked me; people back in '36 must have gone nuts). Mostly good acting and a short run (76 min.) keep "Sabotage" from outstaying its welcome.

The Foot Fist Way. I enjoyed this one for what it was. A simple, dark comedy, following an increasingly foolish man. It was pretty funny directly as a result of Danny McBride.
After Hours. A true Scorsese masterpiece. Truly a wonderful, thrilling mad-house ride into an almost inescapable madness of the night.
Rear Window. This has always been one of my favorite Hitchcock films. It's almost tied with North by Northwest for my top pick.

Gone. Watched it for Yvonne Strahovski. Turns out she was in it for 7 and a half seconds. Movie itself was a pretty good thriller.

Law Abiding Citizen-Wasn't going to get anything this week but a $5.00 RZ certificate and a $9.99 price tag talked me into it!
I thought it was a good film especially for $5.00 and change-

Such a ridiculously fun film. Wish my girlfriend and I were able to see this in theaters.
