EDIT: Just saw 'Ip Man' for the first time, and am now kicking myself for taking so long to see it. I see 'Ip Man 2' is also on Netflix, which I'll have to get around to watching very soon.

Need any more reasons to rewatch? ;)
Masters of Cinema present here a dual format edition, the blu-ray is exceptional for a 90-year-old film with a great new score by Carl Davis.
Silly story? You don't really get what it being said here do you? It's dressed up as a science fiction film but it's more than that. I always thought this film is far from silly but each to is own.
This film has received a lot of negative reviews over the years, but I really enjoy it. Hanks is excellent as Robert Langdon, the movie uses its locations at their best capacity, the story moves along at a fast pace, and Ian Mckmellen is always a joy to watch. Hans Zimmer also delivers a stunning soundtrack.
I haven't seen it for some years, but i remember i enjoyed quite a bit last time.
Ronin - One of the best carchase, action thrillers with an awesome cast. This should have been a 007 movie.
Regarding Ronin, the car chases in this film were fantastic, and probably the best ever committed to celuloid.
For those of you who think QOS had a good car chase, then you need to see, Ronin as this film shows how the director knew how to film the action, and give excitement to the chase.
QOS was not a car chase but a myriad of endless edits showing us bits of car doors, gearknobs, and other pointless things, rather than actually focusing on the chase itself.
Uuuuuuhhhhh, I think I see what you did here... Naughty, naughty...
The first one, featuring that monster limited edition 1970's Mercedes 450sel 6.9 (one of the greatest cars ever built imho), and the contemporary Audi S8 & Citroen XM in Nice is one for the ages.
The second one, featuring a BMW M5 vs. a Peugeot 406 in Paris most likely inspired the chase in the Bourne Identity.
Both classics.
I love this film and the sequel, Angels and Demons. I'm really looking forward to the 3rd Brown adaptation, Inferno, out later this year.
This film has got to be in my top 20 favorites of all time. Utterly captivating film for almost 3 hours, the attention to detail in the investigation is fantastic. Add to that a trio of stellar performances from Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr and Mark Ruffalo, and excellent directing from David Fincher: the end result is a true work of art.
Just came back from it. Magnificent film in all ways. It immerses you from the get-go in the wintry, mountainous setting and doesn't let up until the end. The 2.5 hr running time buzzes by and before you know it, the lights are back on, and you feel shaken, cold, and in awe at what you have just witnessed and where you have just been transported to.
I normally don't care for trophies, but in this case, let the Academy give this film as many Oscars as it wants. Let it clean up for all I care. It's that good.
The cinematography is just absolutely magnificent. I thought Sicario was good, but this is just in a different league. Not since David Lean's best have I seen something quite so wondrous on film.
Leonardo DiCaprio should get his Oscar for this work. His role isn't very talky, but for the full running time you feel Hugh Glass's hopeless plight and suffering, but also his strength and hope intimately. It's a really sublime performance here.
Tom Hardy also gives a superb performance in this film. I've decided I want him in a Bond film, but not as Bond. Rather, as a villain. I think he'd make a smashing 'bad' agent who could go up against Craig's Bond. I can just imagine the fight between these two now.
Go see it, enjoy it, and be prepared to be blown away. I also recommend not drinking too much before and a toilet break prior - it's so life-like and immersive that you actually 'feel' the cold on the screen and are physiologically more likely to want to take a leak.
It reminds me of The Edge (1997), another film I loved.
Interestingly, this year, we're going to get a few more amazing natural setting films, with both The Jungle Book and The Legend of Tarzan looking really great in trailers. The benchmark has been set very high with The Revenant.
Is it bad that I laughed out loud during the glass/horse/cliff incident? Just when you think his situation couldn't get any worse.
I don't usually wince during movies, but when
It wasn't so much of a movie as it was an experience!
Not only should Leo get an Oscar (long overdue)-- I think Tom Hardy deserves one too!
BTW Did anyone else think of Empire Strikes Back with the horse scene? You know what scene I'm talking about ;) At my showing people were laughing at the final fight between Glass & Fitzgerald- lol I admit it was practically becoming slapstick at that point!
I saw that 'fall' during one of the trailers so was expecting it. I still thought it was really well done though and felt as though the horse had actually fallen. I agree on the end fight - it was a bit predictable but at that point we needed to have a painful send off for Fitzgerald, and he certainly got it.
I think EON better start making calls to Emmanuel Lubezki & Alejandro Inarritu, or Deakins for B25.
He's super-geeking...
(I mean that in a good way) :))
