Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", #50/73, 1969
So this movie was not that great. It's about two people... Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. They are bank robbers, who are being chased. The absolute best part of this movie, is they can't seem to shake the people chasing after them, which is weird because they run from people a lot, but none of their tricks are working. They keep repeating "Who are those guys?" I think it was like 5 or 6 times. But, other than that, it was just kind of drawn out and not really a good plot. I also had a really hard time knowing which was was Butch Cassidy and which one was Sundance Kid, but it didn't really matter.
So, in conclusion... it's not that great, so I'm not recommending it.

Apocalypse Now

"Apocalypse Now", #24/#30, 1979
This movie has a few big names in it. A lot of the stars that I know, were very young in this movie, like Martin Sheen, Harrison Ford, and Robert Duvall, and some of the big movie stars in these movies from the 40's were old in this movie, like Marlon Brando. It takes place during the Vietnam War in Vietnam. Pretty much all of the main characters are in the US Army. The big set up is Martin Sheen is trying to find Marlon Brando. So you follow his adventure through Vietnam. It's alright, kind of weird and all over the place. I wouldn't watch this movie again, but it wasn't an awful one to sit through. I actually spent a lot of the time noticing how much the young Martin Sheen looks like his son, Emilio Estevez. (By the way, Martin Sheen is the father of Emilio Estevez, the guy from Mighty Ducks, and Charlie Sheen, the guy from Two and A Half Men. There's a whole story about the name change and things, kind of interesting, you should read up on it.)
So, back to the movie... I didn't really get the whole movie. I just didn't quite understand what happened in the end. But, I didn't care enough to try and figure it out. So, like I said, it's not horrible, but I won't watch it again. So if someone is begging you to watch it with them, go ahead, and watch it. But, since they most likely won't, you probably won't ever see it.
