As I was watching this film, I was both amazed at the supreme effortlessness and undeniable credibility Connery brought as an actor and was also full of regret that the Bond films began to fail Connery by stuffing his movies with gadgets and OTT silliness when they should have relied on story and character because that was one hell of a captivating performance. One thing's for sure they don't make films like these anymore.
Superb performances by Rampling and Courtney (especially the former). As a huge fan of Charlotte Rampling, I have thoroughly enjoyed all the award talks surrounding her performance. Shame about the BAFTA nomination, but there is still the Oscars.
Blake Edwards
Excellent suspense thriller, released in 1962. Glenn Ford and Ross Martin are excellent. Lee Remick, beautiful as ever, gives a very convincing portrayal. I love this movie.
Loved Glenn Ford in The Big Heat (1953) and Gilda (1946).
Some bond people in this one, Lea Seydoux, Ben Wishaw and Mrs Bond herself, Raquel Welch. Very interesting at the start, but as the movie went on it ran out of ideas.
I saw that on TV when I was a kid! Yeah, it was creepin' me out I remember. I have to see it again NOW!
When I think Blake Edwards, I usually think Peter Sellers, comedy and Mancini. This time, it's only Mancini. Ford reminds me a lot of Robert Forster in Jackie Brown. He has this soothing aura around him.
My vinyl soundtrack for the film arrived a few days ago and I gave it a spin yesterday. I have to say I've been anticipating this coming out for sometime like all QT soundtracks but this one was that more because it was not only his first proper commissioned score but the fact it was Ennio Morirconie.
EM is responsible for one of my all time favourite scores Once Upon A Time In America (which I also have on vinyl) and the thought of him working with Tarantino was always going to be a treat and I have to say he doesn't disappoint.
It has been said though this isn't your usual EM western sound like say the dollars trilogy this actually shares more in common with segments of his Untouchables score and of course The Thing which Ennio incorporated some of the work Carpenter didn't use in his film as part of his H8 score.
I can't wait to hear this with the film and it's got such a tense feel to it and reoccurring motif is classic Morriconie.
I love that film.
Just watched Gamera vs. Viras. The start of the badass decay for the big friendly (to children) turtle. Lots of stock footage from the first three movies. Although the two kid heores are not as annoying as in other movies of this kind, it's still obvious that Gamera vs. Viras was intended to be watched by children. One interesting thing, though : in the Gojira series (well, the movies that I've seen), the American occupation troops are notably absent, it's not the case in the Gamera series which, although understandably putting the focus on japanese heroes, at least aknowledges the US contribution, going so far as to have an american boy-scout from a US troop (truth in television : there were american, british and french scouts and guides in Germany for close to fifty years after World War II). Of course, he's a bit stereotyped (his expertise with a lasso comes in handy near the end).
I thought this was a girls movie, but surprisingly I liked it. So it is not.
It is the excellent cast that really sells this film.
That film has a great soundtrack.
I bet that vinyl is beautiful, and the unused work from 'The Thing' being incorporated into parts of the score was brilliant.
I take it you saw the 70MM version, then? If so, what're your thoughts, and tell me some of your favorite scenes in spoilers! I'm in love with this movie and I haven't had the chance to talk to too many people about it yet.
We both figured it would be a typical run of the mill scary movie- man were we wrong... So many naked women; so much gore.
We felt, SO bad, for bringing her X_X
Fortunately she had a good sense of humor about it, and found our guilt more entertaining than the movie, lol
This became one of my all time favorite movies from the first time I saw it. It never fails to make my heart pump at 300 beats per minute. Won Bin as the main character gives a physical and badass performance that most actors from Hollywood would only dream of giving. The action scenes just blow out of the water and into Mars' orbit anything that came outside of South Korea in recent decades. The final battle is amongst the top 5 best scenes I've had the pleasure of witnessing. Few movies are worth a 11/10 rating. This is one of them.
Great, great movie, this one. I loved it.
You know what I've been in the mood for lately, @DaltonCraig007? 'I Saw The Devil.' I have it on blu-ray, and it's fantastic.

He did seem to be doing a bit of a Christoph Waltz thing at first.
He heavily mirrored Waltz's Dr. Schultz for me: the facial hair, the attire, the overly giddy, slightly flamboyant attitude at times.
