Blue Ruin - 7.0/10
A basic revenge flick on it's surface, but with some key differences in the pacing and antagonist. More specifically, the movie prefers tension over action, and the hero is just a normal guy, no mysterious military background that seems to be a cliche in these movies. It's a good looking movie, and it succeeds on it's premise; it's also on Netflix at the moment for anyone interested.
the English Patient - ??/10
Seemed to be a very good movie, but I guess it just wasn't my thing. I wouldn't feel right giving it a low score though, as it has interesting enough characters and beautiful cinematography, I suppose the plot just never clicked with me enough for it's 162 minute run time. I did watch the entire thing, but wouldn't have minded it being a bit shorter.
