    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.'

    Rain Man was on AMC, so I stuck with it. One of my favorites, and one of the best acting performances with the amazing Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. A touching film with great dynamic characters. One thing that always gets me is
    the ending. It is great that Charlie will still get to visit Raymond any time he wants, but the end scenes accompanied by the music just feels like a defeat, and it shouldn't. It is hard to explain really, but I felt the film's ending should have been sunnier. You do see though in Charlie's eyes that his life has changed forever after meeting Raymond, and the void left when he is apart from him saddens him after he truly grew to love him. Great film.

    @Creasy: Ah, The Ward. Yet another flm where Danielle Panabaker dies. [-( The film was ok, but did she need to die. I also liked Heard in that too.

    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.

    2. Isabelle Adjani:
    1. The Story Of Adele H (1975)
    2. Camille Claudel (1988)
    3. One Deadly Summer (1983)
    4. Skirt Day (2009)
    5. Diabolique (1996)
    6. Possession (1981)
    7. La Reine Margot (1994)
    8. The Driver (1978)
    **9. Nosferatu The Vampire (1979) NM**
    10. Bon Voyage (2003)
    11. Quartet (1981)
    12. The Tennant (1976)
    13. Mammuth (2010)

    Well, I've started up the first episode of BBC's 'Sherlock,' and this is indeed the episode I caught on television. Very, very good show, very addictive already.

    @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?

    Can I add I saw Poltergeist on it's original release in 1982 and at the time it was the most scared I have been watching a movie, but all these years later, and at a later age, the effects of all that went on have declined for sure, but it was a scary watch

    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.

    Just saw Eurotrip which is a rather off movie filled with strange ideas and characters. Xena Warrior Princess as madam in a sexclub, her accent was supposed to be Dutch.

    I have seen Eurotrip too, it is one very surreal movie
    Some kids take a vacation around Europe and we have a sort of stereotypical view of various countries, the ending upset a few people I remember, but worth a watch even if only the once, not highly recommended though, very infantile and stupid in places

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, yet another ending that was impossible to avoid. I've never seen the film, but I know all about the ending, of course.

    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.

    Keyser Soze (if I had a dollar for every time I've heard the name) is the bad guy, steals millions, escapes, something like that. I've just always assumed it's one of those films with a great twist that is best left unspoiled, but I know that Kevin Spacey is the one responsible for the twist. If I'm wrong, though, do tell me, and I just might watch it. I'm sure it's a good film, regardless, but I've just been sick of having the film spoiled.

    Well, it honestly isn't completely spoiled.
    You are missing one humungous plot point, one huge twist.

    Ahh, very good. Then, when the time comes and I manage to see it, I shall give it a shot.

    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.

    If that is really all you heard about the film, I promise you there is still one moment, the penultimate moment, where you will go OH YOU ARE KIDDING?!?! You will then have to compose yourself and pick up your jaw.
    I don't download anything, just click the links to the site I PMed to you and wait for them to buffer. Simple as that, really. And wait until you get to series 2 of Sherlock. So damn good it is criminal. I have never been happier to be a fan in my life.

    Is every episode supposed to keep you alert and on the edge-of-your-seat like this? I'm dying to know just how the first episode will end.
    I also love how Sherlock plays around with everyone's phones in the press conference at the very beginning. Hilarious.

    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

    "She must have been scrubbing your floors, judging by the state of her knees."

    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.

    It's heavily apparent that you should never, ever try to rag on Sherlock. You will only get trashed in the worst possible way by something you never saw coming.

    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.

    I just found (roughly $25 online) all four "canon" novels combined. I might have to pick it up come my next paycheck.

    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...

    Layer Cake

    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.
