Movies

One of the movies from 2012 that stands out for me has to be Django Unchained. I thought the movie was violent and offensive at a level that was pretty over the top. Cristoph Waltz delivered an excellent performance once again. Tarantino's skillful dialogue had me laughing the whole movie. I saw Django Unchained on Digital XD format in the movie theater.

The title of,  "Favorite Movie of All Time"  has to go to The Big Lebowski. It is a comedy that the Cohen Bros take to a level of greatness with off beat humor and great cinematography. The first time i saw this movie was on DVD.
