Hell's Angels (1930) - 4/5
Very cool to see this having heard a lot about it from Howard Hughes documentaries. The pacing was a bit slow and the acting was... 1930.
The story was a bit cliche too, but the air battles were amazing. Also, it get's a lot of slack b/c of the date.

Fearless (1993) - 4/5
Fearless (1993) - 4/5
I really like this movie, but it's hard to say exactly why. Well done, but I'm left just a little confused - like I missed a really powerful message. Maybe I did or maybe I didn't, but think there's more to it.
SPOILERS:
My basic take on it is that Max faces his fear of death and overcomes it. Then he has no fear and lives life as he wants... most of the time. A couple times he has to face it again and overcome again.
He feels like a "ghost" and that he's already faced death and won. But I think he eventually realizes he wants to live again and tells his wife he wants her to save him.
He then eats a strawberry which he used to be very allergic to and either has a reaction or chokes. I think he chokes. She saves him and then "he's alive."
So did that restore his love of life or...???
