I am going to make a Taken Blu-ray cover right now, and looked up images last night to use, so the joke had relevance. Haha. Stay tuned to my thread.
Haha, I can't wait. I got a top comment (not the best of feats) when the 'Taken 2' trailer was released on Youtube that said 'I hope I get Taken 2 see this movie.'
Ok, i've seen my share of horror films and to say I was a hardcore horror fan would be an understatement. But damn, this film still manages to give me the willies. The score is haunting, Kinski is creepy (moreso than he normaly was) & Adjani is breathtaking.

@MajorDSmythe, while I've never seen 'Nosferatu the Vampire,' I watched the trailer after reading your post, and it looks incredibly eerie.
I like to consider myself a huge horror film fan myself, as well, but I wonder: what is the scariest movie you've ever seen?
Probably, now, and thinking back, maybe The Exorcist could be top of the pile, for anyone that hasn't seen it, it really is a nasty watch and quite frightening for many
Scariest film? I'm going to have to think about that one. I've seen so many films, that it takes somethng special to scare me, or to creep me out or even make me feel uneasy. :-? The original The Hills Have Eyes is creepy, especially the scene with the story about the baby born covered head to toe in fur.
Heard was ok, but Yustman is like a slightly attractive version of Megan Fox with the same level of acting. Was I supposed to feel sorry for her (Yustman) character? Given how she was acting through the early scenes of the film, i'm not saying she deserved what she got, but I felt it was no loss.
And what about Camila? Either I missed a scene or scenes, but the film just forgot about her. I'm going to have to see the original british ASTD now.
Pretty great, but easy to figure out in the first minute.
Yes, well, some child on this forum attempted to spoil it, but upon seeing it, they spoiled nothing. Tag what you were told, so I can see if it is truly spoiled for you.
Well, it honestly isn't completely spoiled.
The problem with seeing older films these days is that I tire of downloading them off the internet - out of all of the players I have on my MacBook, they rarely seem to play the file type I download, even if the player is for that exact file type - along with the fact that Redbox typically only has newer movies, and I found myself to be quite tired of the BS that Netflix was giving me with its drastic price changes, yet Netflix seems to be the only route any longer.
Oh, and I did get through about half of 'Sherlock: Episode One' last night...and my Internet shut off. I'll be finishing it before I go to bed tonight.
Just wait, so many great things are coming your way. Let me know when you have series 1 done, I am anxious to hear your thoughts. I am going to re-watch series one too I think. :D
Hilarious! Ahh, man, that had me in tears, along with the little smile he gives before he enters the apartment complex.
Yes, the male, Anderson, gets bagged on by him so well. There are great lines delivered by Sherlock to him. I won't spoil any, because you have to see them fresh.
What is the definite Sherlock material I should also check out? Loved the films, loving the show so far.
Without a doubt, read the short stories and the novels if you can. The next best thing outside of the actual Doyle stories is to watch the 1980s Granada Sherlock series with Jeremy Brett as Holmes. They are spectacular, and you can hardly get better than Jeremy and Benedict when it comes to Holmes actors. You could watch the Basil Rathbone films, but I stray away from them. They are more contemporary (filmed at the time of the 40s), and Watson is portrayed as a fool, so I don't give them the time of day.
If they are:
A Study in Scarlet
The Sign of Four
The Hound of the Baskervilles
Valley of Fear
Then you have what you are looking for. I only have Hound, but I have been searching for the others...well, just like a hound on a scent actually...
Boring film 2/10
Anyone else seen it?
Personal score: 10/10
Critic score: 9/10
Really enjoyed it. Craig was excellent. The bathroom scene where he's modeling with the gun in the mirror cracked me up, because it made me think of Danny auditioning for Bond, practicing in his bathroom the morning of the audition. Ha!
Anyways. The plot is layered ( ;) ) well and everything seems to tie together at the end. The dialogue is good. Perhaps it was my version, but the dialogue was difficult to understand at times; I'm not used to accents though.
The plot and acting were phenomenal. Wishaw cracked me up with the little head bob self consciousness in the bar scene.
Personally, this could be a marathon movie for me where I find myself watching it every chance I get. I feel like it's one where you can pull new details with each viewing, though it wasn't too complicated to just view once.
Critically, I feel like I had a pretty good idea at the end of where everybody was and what they did, so the film gets points for that. The direction was very well, some 'experimental', I'll call it, camera work that was enjoyable. I'd have to find more flaws with subsequent viewing, but initially it's very good.
I'll likely be seeing it again this week, so I'll update my review. I still think personally I'll keep it at 10 though :)
Next up tonight: Munich
One of the best assembled openings to a film I've seen in a long time. The build up and drop of the ball is so immense.
