A friend of mine kept telling me to watch it so I finally got around to it. I enjoyed it a lot. Lots of fun car stunts and chases. I really enjoyed Aaron Paul's performance. He's got a great everyman look to him. I hope to see him get some more meaty roles in the future.
Knock Off & Double Team - Two of my least favourite JCVD films.
Lucy is a fine film IMO. It's surreal and like many other Besson films in that typical French Cinéma du Look style. Scarlett is gorgeous! And Serra's score worked well for me.
Danny Trejo made mistakes, was punished for those mistakes and moved on, going on to better himself and forge a successful career for himself. Same thing happened with Mark Wahlberg. Polanski made a mistake, ran away from the consequences and continued to enjoy an incredibly successful film career despite raping a 13 year old girl.
Normally I agree about the whole personal/showbiz life thing. Like Tom Cruise for example, he seems insane in real life but I still love the Mission Impossible films. But whenever I watch a Polanski film, no matter how good it is, I can't help but think "he should be in prison, he raped a 13 year old and got away from it". He is definetely a talented film maker and I there's nothing wrong with enjoying his films, but in this instance I just can't bring myself to distance the mans personal life from the films he makes.
Funny but too sentimental in several scenes. When coming to absurd humor I'm more for direct, unsensitive, comedies (Duck Soup is my fav example). Chaplin was an expert on great sentimental comedies; the Marx Bros., the Ealing school or Jerry Lewis aren't the senstitive school IMHO.
Watched it for the second time. A great mystery movie with many cool plot twists. Also a fantastic score.
With a neat idea behind it. :)
Do you recommend Laura? :-)
I really liked the movie, and hope we'll see more Matthew Scudder with Liam Neeson.
The Shadow is my favourite comic book movie. I'm not a fan of Baldwin (I wouldn't watch a film because of his involvement), but I think he was really good as Lamont Cranston/The Shadow. And I have had a soft spot for Penelope Ann Miller since I first watched the film in the late 1990's. Sadly we don't see to much of PAM these days, not in substantial roles, that is. :(
The Portrait Of A Lady (1996), not bad by any means, but kinda depressing in the way that Jane Campion movies tend to be.
Shaft (2000), starring Samuel L. Jackson, Christian Bale, Toni Collette, and the hilarious and wonderful Jeffrey Wright.
Public Enemies (2009), directed by Michael Mann, based on real story, starring Johnny Depp as Dillinger, Marion Cotillard as his lover, Christian Bale as the FBI agent in charge of catching him.
American Hustle (2013) - I liked it the first time I saw it, but enjoyed it a lot more now. Full of fascinating details and colourful characters. I probably smiled pretty much all the way through.
Enemy (2013), directed by Denis Villeneuve who also directed the excellent Prisoners, which I saw earlier. This one is a lot weirder, but also very good. I think I may have forgotten to mention the other two movies I watched recently that also starred Jake Gyllenhaal... and well, they were pretty forgettable: The Day After Tomorrow and Prince Of Persia.
First Blood One of my favouraite movies, just bought it on Bluray. It may not have looked as good as i was hoping for, though nonetheless its the best version i have seen so far.
E.T. A film i have neglected since i first watched it when i was very young so barely remembered anything from the film. After watching Jaws and being blown away how incredible it looked on Bluray, was curious about E.T. Found the movie phenominal, shot for shot one of the best films ever made.
Having picked up the DVD collection, i've been re-watching the series. So far, despite the some cheesy moments, this one is my favourite.
Featuring Christian Bale, Emily Watson and... a puppy. :D And they were all wonderful.
So you live in a totalitarian society where emotions are illegal, and everyone is required to take regular doses of medicine to keep them from feeling anything. Now if you're a trained martial arts specialist working for the government and very much with licence to kill (and indeed you do that a lot, and obviously mercilessly, since you feel nothing anyway), but one day you miss your daily dose (but know any show of feelings will cost your life), and then when on a mission to wipe out some rebels you come across this furry fella at their hiding place... then what? :P
Deanna Troi wasn't born in 1985 @chrisisall. ;) Give it 300 years. :))
Given the IMDB quoted kill count of 83, i'm sure 83 characters didn't have a good time.
Of course I do. I watched it a few weeks ago. :))
