nostatic at all...

Another Netflix evening, this time Taxi Driver. Having only seen parts of it before, this was the first time through the whole thing. While DeNiro was great, I have to admit to feeling mixed about the film. Part of it might be that by today's standards the pacing is a bit slow. Blame the ADD generation. And while it was beautifully shot (lots of night and wet night sequences), it felt like something was missing. Maybe it is just timing and context, coming rather fresh on the heels of the Ft. Hood shooting (though the parallels aren't that great). Or maybe I'm just tired. Yeah, that's it...
