It features my favourite Jason look. I like how Jasons bones (knee, spine, hands) are showing where his flesh has rotten away. The makeup team did a top job.
Hands up for Corey Feldman! :-)
I like what they did with A new beginning part 5, i think the only film i did not see was part 7 The new blood, though can't remember part 9. jason X was that the one set in outer space Lol
That one is middle of my ranking. I'd put Pt3, TNB, JGTH and the reboot above it.
And as for A New Begining, I really hate that one. A copycat killer? #-o
I feel the same way. It's a stupid idea. Like with alot of my favourite horror franchises, the original to me is still the best. Apart from the original, my favourites are the final chapter and Freddy vs Jason.
I like Bride of Chucky the best too, which is wierd because most of the time with horror films I like the original the best. It is cool seeing Chris in the film. That reminds me that I still haven't seen the Fright Night remake. I think deep down I don't want to because I'm scared it'll ruin the original.
Also, if you like FvJ that much, on the region 2 DVD of JGTH, one of the special features is an article that was originaly published in Fangoria around the time of FvJ's release. It charts the 10 year journey it took to bring A Nightmare On Elm Street & Friday The 13th together.
It would've been cooler with Hodder yeah, but I think it turned out well. It's Friday and Elm street together, that for me is enough to make it a good horror film. That article sounds intresting.
The reveal of Mrs. Vorhees as the killer is kind of a twist nowadays since everyone expects it to be Jason lol
Exactly!!!
So, I just watched <b>Lars and the real girl</b>
Different, but worth watching for sure!
What a fantastic film. 10/10
There's something about Recall that I didn't like, maybe it was Verhoeven's direction, the over the top cartoon violence, some truly unsavory scenes and I don't like Sharon Stone turning badass either, but we own a copy but very rarely view it
Last movie watched was a Stevel Seagal release, back in the days when he was still able to do his own action scenes and looked plausible with it, please lay off the candy bars Mr Seagal..
The Third Man is one of my favorite movies of all time, that music is just so damn catchy isn't it, Lee does appear as a cast member in an early apperance as does future Bond personnel such as Geoffrey Keen and Robert Brown
This is Orson Welles' film though above all else, the chase through the sewers at the end is always dark and atmospheric, some have said this is the greatest film ever, I wouldn't go as far as that, but it's up there for sure
Casablanca-I can't believe that I actually got the chance to see it after so long. It has been #1 on my must see movies list for as long as I can remember, and will forever be a constant rewatch. It didn't disappoint, and everything about it was great. The drama was strong, the romance heavy, and it is a great picture of how the world was at that time. A film of sacrifice and finally, justice. Humphrey is amazing as usual, Ingrid stunning and lovely, and the supporting cast of characters including the wonderful Sam and Renault really add to the film's appeal. I love the inclusion of "As Time Goes By", because it has long mystified me as it did for both Rick and Ilsa, my heart being touched by Frank Sinatra's stunning version. The film is thrilling, funny, and you never know what will be coming next. You love the good characters, root against the bad characters, and hope that it will end well for the former, and that is what films are all about. It met every expectation I had built up, and I can't wait to rewatch it. Truly one of the best films of all time.
The American-The first time I saw this one was in theaters, and I must say I was not impressed when I left afterwards. I hated the pace, the dullness, the lack of dialogue and lack of explanation in the plot. But....then I got to read Le Carré, and really dipped into realistic spy fiction as well as becoming a mini historian of the employment of espionage and the tradecraft of agents in agencies across the world. I have always had a fascination with the job of spies, and it is my dream job if my life doesn't pan out successfully. This stems from a love of Bond, Bourne, Hunt, Mitch Rapp, and all the great spy films. After my mindset appreciated the realistic and methodical spy thriller, I come back now from The American with a smile. I really do love it. It isn't Oscar material, and it won't get on any best films of all time lists like Casablanca above, but it is a good film. The pace is better upon a second viewing, and anyone who loves to think while watching films and being sucked into the atmosphere like me will love this. The plot makes you think at times what went on and why Jack does the things he does, but it is in moderation and doesn't break the film. The cinematography is startling, and well filmed. The characters and untrusting and you yourself grow as paranoid as Jack across the film's plot. At its heart this film is the picture of a man who has "lost his edge", and makes the mistake of making friends while doing his jobs, forgetting some of his tradecraft, and growing more uneasy with the job he is doing. Interesting and thrilling, The American won't blow your socks off, but it will get you thinking and stay in your head.
(a.k.a. X: The Man With The X-Ray Eyes)
I never thought I'd say this but here's a rather effective Corman film. The idea behind it is stupid as hell but there are rather impressive visuals involved, especially considering the film's shoestring budget, and Ray Milland's acting is enjoyable as always.
Recently for me, LOTR Return of the King (yay, Viggo!)
I am getting deeper and deeper into Bogie's work and loving it. His noir stuff is great, and he is a great actor who always says his lines so great they're like gold. The acting is solid, with Humphrey alongside his beautiful Lauren. The two deserved each other, and the chemistry between them is palpable. A must watch noir film for fans of the genre and of Humphrey or Lauren. It is only an hour and 53 minutes and yet it took me much longer to finish it due to backtracking to understand the entire thing. After I was done I was overwhelmed with the plot, which is very complex and extremely don't blink or you'll miss it touches and dialogue. I looked up its Wikipedia page afterwards and the critical response was much what I thought of it. It leaves you confused a lot, but still a damn fine film, and one that I will be sure to rewatch to get the full experience. Definitely a film that you have to watch a few times to fully grasp, but that's the beauty of film.
Brilliant review of it. Yes, when I want big action spy films, I go to Bond and Hunt. When I'm ready to sit back, but enjoy a good bang, I go for Bourne.
When I want to imagine what life would be like as a spy, I pick The American. Such a good film considering*. I love the slow pace. That's the real world of espionage. Most likely your going to sit and stare through a camera lens more than you will hold a gun. And suprisingly that's the part I love. Yes its good fun getting into toss up and having to fight, but I find it extremely enjoyable thinking about sitting, watching someone, learning everything about them, and they don't even know you exist. That's just as thrilling a prospect as a rooftop chase on a train to me.
I plan on scooting my way in to the intelligence/espionage work in the near future. I plan on being a combat photographer in the military once I finish school and move on into higher paying-more risky work ;)
Glad to see its respected by others.
*Clooney and the director of the film absolutely hated each other. They often had to delay filming because the two wouldn't talk to each other on set. They disagreed with what should happen with the character, and how he would react to certain situations. Considering, its still and excellent film. Definitely worth the 13 dollar Blu-Ray on Amazon ;)
It definitely gets me every time when at the beginning
What an unexpected start.
Yes, excellent. Part of me still hopes
A good film which i think is overrated. 7/10
Oh I don't know its been so long. I'll have to re-watch it. Hmm..
His conversations with the priest spark interesting thinking as well. Definitely going to need to re-watch it. Just ordered it on blu-ray, so it won't be long!
Never been a big Star Trek fan but I really like this movie and am looking forward to the sequel do out next year.
Wow. Just wow. I literally have no words after this film. I don't even want to say a thing but give an instant recommendation to whoever reads this. It is truly a film you have to go into knowing absolutely nothing about. It's content is startling, and meaning powerful. Damn...
