Batman Very good film, I really like the look of Gotham and Keaton is great. However the Batmobile is a bit weird (what's that pointy thing at the front?). Nicholson delivers an insane performance, and Bassinger is eye candy although annoying. Alfred was cool but I much prefer Caine.
Batman Returns Quite entertaining, but some big problems: Where is Batman? He was hardly in the film! (apart from the end) And while DeVito was memorable at the start, he became annoying by the end of the film. Catwoman's outfit was very sexy, however!
I thought that even as a little kid when I saw it opening day, June 19th 1992!!
Too bad there isn't a Directors Cut out there waiting to be found in some Hollywood basement with more BATMAN....
We got too precious little of Keaton as Bats, didn't we? Like a certain Bond actor....
But not without it's problems, I still love BR and have a big ol' soft spot for it.
....And a better Christmas movie? There is none! Batman Returns is a strict Christmas TRADITION in my neck of the woods! :D

Batman Returns Commentary http://smodcast.com/episodes/bernardin-returns-for-batman-returns/
Both worth a listen.
Batman & Robin Um... Mindblowingly awful! What's with the Bat-nipples? What's with the frequent ass-shot and crotch-shot? What's with Arnold acting like a total idiot? This film makes DAD look like a masterpiece.
Not totally lacking in bite though there could have been more thrills, more gore and more flesh, but having said that it is still a better watch than half-a-dozen Twilight films!
=))
I agree with everything. :P
(Not 100% sure about never having seen Jim Carrey so irritating before, but couldn't actually name anything, so probably that, too.)
Worldwar Z the movie has its moments but is overal average, and having seen it once it will do.
Jack Ryan: shadow recruit a fun movie which I do want want to bother with ever again. Just want to mention that Affleck did a better movie.
When I was five, I made my mom take me to see this four times. I am still as fascinated by it as I was back then. The first Disney film released after the death of Uncle Walt, but he was heavily involved in the creative process until the end.

Yeah, pretty nice film though I consider it the weaker of the Karnstein trilogy. ;-)
First off, Blood Simple. Brilliant first film for them, very gritty atmosphere. Frances Mcdormand is great as always, and there is this piano track that appears a few times in the movie, which I really liked. The film looks low budget but they made the most of what the had to work with.
Raising Arizona Not their best film (from the (now) 5 I've seen of them), but the film is just bonkers. Nic Cage is on fire, the 2 criminal friends are insane. The chase scene when Cage tries to rob the store is so hilarious, I was in stitches. So maybe not a masterpiece but as a comedy it works very well, I was laughing for 90 minutes.
Miller's Crossing What an amazing film. I was mesmerized by it. Very captivating atmosphere, the cinematography is wonderful in this, all the actors were brilliant. I think it's a film that gets even better with repeated viewing but I loved it already. This was very different from gangster films I am used to watching.
Barton Fink Now this was just epic. Turturro and Goodman were amazing, the film may be slow in parts but I was just completely absorbed by the film. I'll have to watch it again but this IMO will be in the top Coen films when I'll have completed my Coen marathon.
Finally got round to seeing this film, with characters that I absolutely adore! Fantastic entertainment for children and adults alike if you ask me. I also discover too that their is to be a Toy Story 4 released in 2017! Fantastic!!! :-bd
Expendables 3!
For me these films never disappoint at all. Humour, A list stars from my visual past growing up, action by the bucket load, and just all out over the top escapism! Just a little sad Bruce Willis wasn't in it this time.
Fargo First time I've seen this one, and I must say it's a brillant film. The story is insane, the whole cast played very well, especially William H Macy and Frances McDormand. Absolutely epic film that I'll have to rewatch again.
Big Lebowski I really love this film, it's comedic gold. The film has endless classic quotes, and Jeff Bridges is simply breathtaking as the Dude. John Goodman is also hilarious, he's great in everything he appears in.
O Brother Where Art Thou Another great film, the main trio of actors is awesome. The film is a perfect way to spend 2 hours watching. This is also one I'll have to rewatch soon. I hope it will help me forgive Clooney for the monstruosity I saw recently (Batman & Robin).
I was expecting a slightly forgettable but nonetheless solid action/thriller flick. What I got was a clunky, hokey, sloppy, rushed, painfully predictable load of nonsense. I don't even think I can say it was alright -- this movie kind of sucked, and I'm a little surprised by that.
4/10 -- From what I remember of the other films, this is easily the worst Jack Ryan movie.
Went to see this one in theatres. Great movie! Loved every bit of it. There are differences with the comic, but overall I think both work well. Sam Jackson is delicious, so is Colin Firth and, well, pretty much everyone else in the cast. :-) Excellent spy adventure film.
Alan (Return Of The Jedi) Hume?
The Duellists Great film, the soundtrack and locations are splendid, the film may be a bit cheap compared to what I am used to from Scott but it was great considering it was his first film. Harvey Keitel is awesome as always.
Blade Runner This is one of my favorite films. Everything about it is perfect, from the music, special effect, story and acting. Harrison Ford really is THE man. Absolutly perfect film all around.
Legend I liked it, fun little film but I was shocked that Scott made such a film. It really didn't fit the style I had seen from him before. But I have to say Cruise was a bit wooden in the early parts of his career.
Somebody to Watch Over Me Didn't really care about this film, IMO a very minor film in Scott's resume. Berenger was cool but the story left me cold. The main woman however was very eye candy.
Black Rain Epic film! I didn't know what t expect, but it was great! Michael Douglas was a proper badass during the whole film, and the japanese policeman working with him was so likeable. This is really a film I'll have a pleasure rewaching.
Found it quite engrossing with effects just as good as "Saving Private Ryan". Also was an eye opener with regards to the cramped conditions that a tank crew endure.
Very stylish, but unfortunately also very boring.
1492 Conquest of Paradise There it is @DarthDimi ;) The films was ok, nowhere near as good as Scott's other historical epics like Gladiator. I am a fan of Depardieu so I enjoyed him, and the soudtrack was amazing. Not sure if I'd want to rewatch this film, however.
White Squall Another minor, IMO, film on Scott's resume. I found most of the young actors quite wooden, only Jeff Bridges was epic as always. Story was interesting and the era it was set in, but it didn't have the oomph of the better Scott films.
G.I. Jane I don't know what went through the minds of everyone involved, but it looks very, very cheap. The last battle with the cameras moving and zooming all over the place gave me a headach and the film in parts looked more like a tv movie than made for the big screen. Demi Moore was OK but I was never a big fan of her.
Not what I expected but a pretty interesting story.
