T2 is a fun ride but it's sapped of all the menace and fear that the original had, it's like Alien to Aliens to me, although Aliens is considerably better than T2.
Just watched Atom Ayogan's Sweet Hereafter 1997, never seen this before and got it on our Love Film list, a brilliantly acted drama with Ian Holm delivering a great performance amongst others.
Holms plays a lawyer who arrives in a small town after a tragedy to represent members of a community who have lost childrern in a bus accident. Holm's character also has issues of his own dealing with a drug addicted daughter he seems helpless to reach.
As his lawyer attempts to seek towns folk to join his law suit secrets become uncovered and not everyone wants the matter investigating.
4/5
*I haven't watched the third film.
Hmm will have to check it out I am tempted to a create a thread about espionage films in general that borrow from the bond formula (films like Art of War The Saint I'd argue the Jackal True lies etc) but it would be hard to determine which are just spy film and which are really borrowing from the 007 franchise.
One of my all time favorite films. Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson are on top of their game, bringing buckets load of charisma and displaying superb chemistry. The film has several very intense sequences, helped with a dynamic directing from Kathryn Bigelow and an electric soundtrack. I never get tired of this movie, I've seen it countless times since I bought the DVD over 10 years ago.
Sprited Away (2001)
The Cat Returns (2002)
The Wind Rises (2013)
I liked the first, really liked the second, didn't particularly like the other two.
The Other Guys (2010)
I knew this wouldn't be quite my cup of tea, and indeed it wasn't, but there was some great stuff in it, anyway, and some of the humor worked for me.
I needed to watch the end credits with frequent use of the pause button - bloody hell...
21 Grams (2003)
Alejandro González Iñárritu's 2nd movie. I hadn't seen this one before. Non-linear and presented in fragments one gets to put together little by little. I liked it.
Babel (2006)
AGI's 3rd movie. I had completely fortgotten the Japan segment in this, and also what the connection to the rest was. I also didn't like that segment and didn't think it fit the whole, and it seemed stylistically and even thematically different, so to me it was boring and jarring and made the whole less. I did like the Morocco and Mexico segments and stories, a lot, though.
Crazy Heart (2009)
Scott Cooper's directorial debut. Jeff Bridges was excellent in this. A more optimistic movie than I remembered - far more so than his next two which... well, weren't at all.
Already looking forward to his 4th which will start shooting in July... (I was happy about Rosamund Pike joining, and happily surprised at seeing both Q'orianka Kilcher and Cooper at the US premiere of Knight of Cups made me wish he'd cast her, too.)
Shaun The Sheep (2015)
Plenty sheep in this. :D
The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)
More boring than I remembered.
Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)
Okay.
@Last_Rat_Standing, yes, even worse than 'The Matrix Revolutions.' At least in that, we got a proper finale and some pretty cool scenes that I wish we had more of (the fact that scenes like the nightclub shootout are few in far between, but it's more focused on Zion and the Sentinel attack is what hurts the movie the most for me), whereas TDKR was littered with way too many plot holes and bad pacing.
I hated the end of Matrix 2. I didn't know back then it would have an open ending, I was furious. And the third part was so disappointing except for a few scenes.
This is a guilty pleasure for me that I seem to watch about every 6 or 7 years.
This time in High Definition (at last).
While it may not be cinematically the best of movies, the all-star cast and the many links to the Bond franchise make this always an easy watch.
I highly enjoyed the second one and about the first thirty minutes of the 3rd. Pretty much after the Club Hel scene it falls apart
Liam Neeson as an air Marshall trying to stop a killer high-jacker. I really enjoyed
this thriller, it's a bit silly and the motivation for the criminal is also ...... a bit odd,
but very entertaining.
I wouldn't say its unwatchable, but there is too much time in the real world. I think an additional scene in the Matrix when everything was haywire to have some sort of fight when Smith was taken over would have made things slightly better.
Animatrix on the other hand, was very fresh and enjoyable.
I have to say that I agree with you on the trilogy. It was an overkill, and it should've had more creativity.
However, I haven't seen Animatrix. Is it part of the film canon or just an alternate universe spin-off?
Both, it takes place in the same universe. There are several quite different episodes. Some better than others, but worth checking out.
Count me in, too. Was pretty surprised by it, an enjoyable way to spend 90 minutes or so.
The Graduate - Dustin Hofman is really brilliant, Katherine Ross is bloody gorgeous and Ann Bancroft being a convincing temptress.
Dakota Fanning steals the show insanely, confident for someone so young at the time.
I killed a lot of people in that movie.
That's interesting! I bought the Criterion Collection Blu-ray of The Graduate, it's one of the classics that I actually never have seen. I probably will watch it soon.
Maybe some of you have heard of this film. ;)
I'm in the middle of a Bondathon and just watched this one last night. I think this one is still my favorite Moore Bond film. I love just about everything about it. After it was over I felt like watching it again... I of course didn't because I have to get to those other Bond outings. I'm currently in the middle of Moonraker. Later tonight will be For Your Eyes Only!
