I know me too. The second was also really good, but I think I like the first one best. Those films are just so much fun; let's hope a third arrives soon.
I loathed the sequel when I first saw it in theaters, bought it for dirt cheap the day it came out because I wanted to give it another chance, and then I fell in love with it. Very worthy sequel, the chemistry is still there, the expanded plot and locales were very nice, and I loved the cast, particularly Harris, Rapace, and Anderson.
Eight films already in theaters this year? Congratulations! I've caught two or three myself, missed a few I wanted to see (more), and the next one I'm dying to catch in cinemas is 'Hail, Caesar!'.
Spotlight just opened here last Friday - I went to see it on Saturday, since I needed to see The Revenant first. :P Steve Jobs opened just a couple of weeks ago as well... haven't seen it, not really planning to atm. Considering 45 Years. Unsure about The Danish Girl - Vikander is expected to get the Oscar on top of the other awards for it... how the hell did that happen, I wonder... Most people seem to think the movie is baaad though, so I don't know if I want to spend money on it. Counting days for The Big Short (16 now... sigh... not as bad as a few weeks ago, but still... geez...), hoping for Brooklyn to at least get a release date, dammit (Saoirse is just one of the adorable actors), looking forward to Room, planning on seeing The Revenant again, it was so beauuutiful, and... Hail, Caesar! should arrive in about a month, and I do want to see it. And other stuff not yet on the release schedule...
Watched 'Steve Jobs' for the first time earlier day, and wow, what a terrific film that was. The script had me hooked from the beginning, and I think Fassbender was wonderful in the role. Just finished up 'Mad Max: Fury Road' for the umpteenth time, as well. One of my favorites!
Tommy Lee Jones rocked. Erika Eleniak was simply gorgeous. The action was great.
1-Under Siege
2-Marked For Death
:))
I'll be adding it to my collection. It's simply a must-see for anyone who likes movies.
I'll put those on my to-watch list. As you've figured by now I need to catch up on a lot of older classics. I wasn't a serious movie watcher for a while unfortunately, so that was some lost years. But I'll catch up.
I started about 3 years ago. And now i would say i finally have seen all the biggest classics. Just watching some rests now.
Kelly's Heroes (1970)
The Dirty Dozen (1967)
The Guns of Navarone (1961)
A Bridge Too Far (1977)
The Longest Day (1962)
Yes, yes, and yes. 'Macbeth' blew me away when I watched it last year, what an (even) darker re-telling of Shakespeare's classic. 'Rosemary's Baby' was also very impressive in that no scene in the movie was pointless, and every little thing had a hand in helping build up to that wild ending.
'Burnt'
Took me a while to get around to seeing this, but I finally did last night, and was left on the fence about it. On one hand, the movie perfectly captures the feel and the attitude of a busy kitchen on an even busier night, so that's good, but the acting and plot leave a lot more to be desired. Cooper doesn't really feel like a man who knows food, who wants to create perfection on a plate. From where the movie picks up to where it ends, the plot is pretty thin and you aren't given a clear look at what happened and what's going to happen, it just throws you in the middle of things and hopes you enjoy following the tale of Cooper's character. So, while it was enjoyable seeing them replicate the look of a hectic restaurant, and the movie offered a beautiful look at food and what a chef goes through to prep his restaurant, the rest was rather lacking and befuddled.
The Dirty Dozen (1967) And excellent war drama and actioner
The Guns of Navarone (1961) together with "Where Eagles dare" the best war action movie ever.
A Bridge Too Far (1977) An alright attempt to show the bloody stupidity of this particular plan to free the Netherlands
The Longest Day (1962) A classic that shows the size and madness of D-Day. Great cast too.
Just watched that again last Sunday - was in the mood for some WWII, toss-up between that and The Big Red One.
It is weird isn't it? And I agree - it did have a good script, direction, and acting. For some reason it just didn't grip me all that much. Maybe I wasn't in the right mindset? I have no clue.
You say "great," I say "appalling" or "abysmal" or "horrid." From what I saw, each scene was packed with so much unnecessary CG, a dull by-the-numbers shoot-'em-up. If you want "great" fight sequences, go watch 'The Raid 2' or 'John Wick.'
Heard a lot of talk about how underrated this was, so I decided to give it a watch. It was definitely interesting from the get-go, but around halfway in, everything seemed so familiar and I realized that I had seen it a very, very long time ago. However, I only seem to remember the twist and a bit of what happens after, so the entire buildup and the finale were unexpected, even after that realization. I loved the cast, I'm a big fan of space thrillers like this, I thought the plot was unique enough, touching upon quite a few different genres, and what a beautiful movie this is, given how rather small the budget was for something involving space/space travel.
Absolutely mind-boggingly awesome. The body count of both films is sky high. Iko Uwais as Rama and Keanu Reeves as Wick are 2 of the most badass action characters created in the last decade. Highlights: Mud prison fight, car chase+fight, nightclub fight, baseball bat + hammer girl fight and kitchen fight (The Raid 2), house attack, night club shootout, church raid and final shootout (John Wick).
'Man on Fire' and 'Taken'.
Fantastic stuff - Denzel as Creasy and Neeson as Mills are the definition of badass. It's cool that Denzel in this film is similar to his character in 'Equalizer' - helping the little girl with her swimming and his co-worker to pass his security guard exam before we find out Denzel is an unstoppable killing machine in the 2nd half of both films. When he attacks the police convoy with a missile launcher and puts an explosive device in
As for Neeson in 'Taken', I still remember seeing the film at the cinema on opening day. When we see Neeson take down his first bad guy at the concert, I knew we were in for some more legendary stuff later, but I was not prepared for how gruesome Neeson would be. Tearing down a construction site, killing about 20 people in a few minutes only to top it off with a violent electric torture, and then going Rambo on the boat at the end... Neeson quickly became one of my favorite action heroes with this film.
Good space movie. Pretty good performances all around, but Ed Harris stole the show.
Akira (1988)
A brilliant example of style over substance. Not a fan of this one.
The Quiet Earth (1985)
Cool at times, but overall a bit boring.
Wreck it Ralph (2012)
Quite fun, but lost a bit of steam after they went to that candyland place. The race was good though.
La Jetée (1962)
The movie who inspired 12 Monkeys (1995), i thought it was OK. Not really suprised as im not a big fan of 12 Monkeys either.
The Long Good Friday (1980)
Some pretty good scenes, but overall it didn't get me that engaged.
Margin Call (2011)
Wasn't sure if i would watch this one or not, then i heard someone talk about it over here. It was good, but nothing special.
Ugetsu monogatari (1953)
Decided to give this one a chance as it is regarded as one of the best movies of all time. And it bored me.
Au hasard Balthazar (1966)
Another highly acclaimed movie. This one i liked much better.
C'est arrivé près de chez vous (1992)
A very controversial movie, some will hate it and others will love it. I found it quite fun and different from other movies.
Blow Out (1981)
Quite engaging and suspenseful. Also very funny at times (scream) and i really liked the score aswell. Not on the level of movies like The Conversation (1974), but still pretty good.
I have loved Layer Cake since buying the DVD the following day Craig was announced as James Bond. Tremendous directing by Vaughn, a killer soundtrack and electric performances from the entire cast, in particular Craig. The film flies by at a rapid pace, it's just an endless succession of fantastic scenes.
As for Collateral, I still remember having my pants knocked down the first time I saw it. It's probably my favorite role for Tom Cruise. He is simply ruthless as Vincent, with special mentions to 'That's my briefcase?' scene and the nightclub shootout. Electric soundtrack and atmosphere all thanks to Michael Mann's excellent style of movie making.
Swing Time (1937)
My favourite Ginger film, and also my favourite Fred & Ginger film.
Followed by...
Monkey Business (1952)
Even when faced with the younger Monroe, Ginger still had that unmistakable twinkle in her eyes. While other films showcased Ginger's singing, dancing and/or acting capabilities, I think that this film best showcases her comedic skills. Ginger rolls up her sleeves, and gets stuck in. Grant is a hoot as well, when he crawls under the table, and refuses to come out.
