    @DaltonCraig007, I thought I was the only one who still had something nice to say about a Polanski film. With all the fuss about the man's personal life distracting people from his true skill as a filmmaker, I have recently gotten a lot of angry faces over liking RB, a film I really love.

    Rosemary s Baby is a classic. Nothing can take away Polanski s genius stamp.

    @DarthDimi, Polanski is one of my favorite directors! Never will I let whatever is going on in his private life stop me from enjoying his films.

    Actually, I watched Repulsion (1965) this afternoon, and I was really freaked out. The very lovely Catherine Deneuve went through quite an ordeal, and the ending was extremely intense. Deneuve gave an excellent performance. And I was surprised to see Bond alumni James Villiers (Tanner in FYEO) in a small part!

    Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban.

    Arguably the best of the Potter films.

    Oh the feels are heavy with this one. But a very good film.

    Double feature: Escape From NY/LA.
    I know this will piss peeps off here, but I enjoyed LA a good bit more than NY due to the hilarity of the script. YES, it wasn't as atmospheric, YES, the CGI sucked at DAD levels, but the performances made the movie for me. Plus, best ending ever!!!

    I liked Escape from LA better as well. It was made as a satire, not a serious sequel. Though I would love to see a new Escape From Wherever movie with Kurt Russell as Old Snake. :P

    Jaws (1975). It's no wonder at all why this is one of Spielberg's most beloved films. I love a LOT of his movies, but I think nearly everyone can agree this is truly one of his best. I can't say much that hasn't been said already, but I just have to emphasize that all the scenes with Scheider, Dreyfuss, and Shaw on the boat together are some of the best moments of any movie ever. The finale is also one of the best to any movie IMO. What a spectacular and easily re-watchable movie - love this one.

    Ronin (1998) I heard so much about this film and it's epic car chase scene. I had a total blast watching this film. What a cast - De Niro, Bean, Reno and all the others delivers highly entertaining performances, the plot is fantastic, almost no time for the viewers to breath. And that car chase was absolutely thrilling, one of the best I've ever seen.

    I got it last year & watched it for the first time, and had the same reaction.

    I always felt that this should have been a perfect 007 movie with de Niro being the 007 part.

    Not a bad film. That's really all I have to say about. Just good enough to see once.

    Tremors 5: Bloodlines (2015)

    "Why am I always denied need-to-know critical information?"

    While not a patch on the original cult classic, it's still great to see everyone's favourite paranoid survivalist, Burt Gummer, back in action.

    Secret in their Eyes

    I enjoyed this thriller, currently playing in theatres, immensely. It's based on the 2005 Argentinian novel originally titled La Pregunta de sus Ojos. It's basically about a hunt by a group of investigators over a 13 year period for the murderer of the teenage daughter of one of their own team.

    Boasting an incredible cast, including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Dean Norris, and Michael Kelly, the performances are absolutely superb by all concerned. There is depth to each character, and Ejiofor in particular is a joy to watch. Just brilliant, nuanced work.

    There is a twist at the end so don't read any reviews. Just go in without any expectations and prepare to be immersed and entertained. It reminds me a little (in terms of the mood of the film if not the plot) of 2013's The Prisoners, so if you liked that, you might like this.

    Recommended.

    This is a movie you either love or really could do without. I'm afraid I'm with you on this one, SM.

    Cinderella (2015) - It was my daughters 12th birthday yesterday and the wife and I had bought her this. Both loved it, a beautiful movie.

    MMFR isn't a story driven film. It's barely a character driven film. It's a symphony of fights, storms, carmageddon and very loud bangs. Like a two hour acid trip with vibrant colours and powerful music and with a very bleak vision of a possible future as the connective tissue, Fury Road is a non-stop adrenaline rush. I'm not telling you this is the best steak that you ever had, to be judged by all the culinary standards in vogue. I'm telling you this is a bag of potato chips. But it's the best bag of chips you ever had.

    I admire your passion to love material that you totally enjoy. Whether other people are totally not impressed by it, or disagree with you on the numbers of a BO. You really want to enjoy yourselves.
    Again if MMFR is the best bag of crisps you've ever had, I am envious of you. Cause there is far better crisps out there you have yet to taste.

    Such brutal film-making. Hey Wes, was that the theatrical (I rented that one), the extended (I bought that one), or the extended with the animated story woven back in (never seen that one)?
