What a fantastic film. Goes straight to my all time favorites. Extremely tense film, great cast (always a joy watching Kurt Russell and Keith David), and the 'gore' sequences are just insanely scary. Thanks to Creasy47, I won't be sleeping again in the coming week.
AVPR
Predators
Prometheus
AvP Requiem was pretty meh except for the last 35 minutes where Predators and Aliens are kicking some series asses. The first 55 minutes are a mash up of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Predator. Truly awful.
Predators is bloody freaking fantastic. Just WOWed the whole movie through. I could have done without the 15 minutes in-between Laurence Fishburne bit. But it couldn't hurt an otherwise perfect action roller-coaster ride with a incredibly good ensemble cast.
Prometheus I loved immediately when I saw it at the cinema. Ridley Scott is my favourite living director anyway besides Tim Burton so that's not a surprise.
So happy he made another one like this with The Martian (direction, style, setting).
I feel like I heard a rumor somewhere that in the early stages of the script Fishburne's character was supposed to be Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising as Dutch- having been captured and forced to fight for years, and was now crazed and bloodthirsty. That would have been INSANE!!!!
Then again, I heard another rumor that he was meant to have a quick cameo at the very end, showing up to take Royce with him. Not quite as cool, but seeing Arnold in some form would have been neat.
Speaking of Dutch, do any Predator experts know if he shows up again, or has some sort of closure- be it in a book, or comic? As far as Predator lore, I'm really only familiar with the movies
Jason X is really good. I find most of the F13 films a bit of a bore to be honest.
It has the thing that most of the other F13 movies lack; A sense of humour.
Suspenseful film with an interesting plot. Maybe a bit far-fetched, but so what? It s a film.
I am all for humour in the F13 films, but I would rather a blacker sense of humour.
He'll be directing Liam Neeson again shortly in the upcoming The Commuter, which I'm completely excited for, and his recent The Shallows is well worth a watch for more than Blake Lively in a bikini (although that's a welcome fringe benefit).
I saw it when it was first released on Bluray and didn't care for it too much, but last week I got curious and watched the original Django (1966) and LOVED it! Franco Nero was one cool bastard in this, and a quick IMDB search made me aware I've actually seen him before and didn't even know it, alongside Harrison Ford in Force 10 From Navarone!
He also has a cameo in Django Unchained (after the 'mandingo fight' he asks Jamie Foxx to spell his name-- 'the D is silent.' 'I know')
Not sure if he could pull off a British accent, but by the look of him, he could have made a hell of a Bond!
Anyway, after loving Django I went ahead and rewatched Django Unchained, and enjoyed it much much more. And I was overjoyed when I realized Tarantino used nearly all of the original music! (that went right over my head the first time I watched it)
He should have been a much bigger star! Shame.
I didn't hear about the new sequel- thanks for letting me know!
It s kind of boring.
Number 1 is spot on at least.
Always liked Signore Nero. I loved him in Force 10.
Perhaps it is also worth noting we share a first name.
viewing to come:- Hitch-Hike [88 Films - The Italian Collection] and Lucio Fulci's City of the Living Dead [Arrow Video].
I was looking forward to this film purely because of Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot. The other two actors (Zach and Isla whatever) didn't interest me in the slightest. I knew going in that the reviews weren't good and that the premise was a bit tired (it was tired even 10 years ago when Jolie and Pitt tried it with Mr. & Mrs. Smith).
Well, the film isn't horrendously bad, although it's certainly quite poor. The jokes are predictable, flat and quite frankly unfunny for the most part. The film is like a combination of True Lies , Horrible Bosses & Hangover but without the quality of any of the prior movies.
The worst part is the first half, which goes through the motions as the Gaffneys (Galifianakis & Fisher) slowly (like watching paint dry) learn that their almost too perfect new neighbours, the Joneses (Hamm & Gadot) aren't quite what they seem. The film really picks up once they make the discovery that they are in fact secret agents however, with some neat action sequences in the 2nd half. It's still not enough to make up for the dullness of the first half though.
The best part of this film is undoubtedly Gal Gadot. She is hugely charismatic, and her statuesque figure and credible action chops have really whetted my appetite for next year's Wonder Woman. Jon Hamm is wasted in this film, but at least we get to see him acting opposite Gadot, even if it's not in my preferred role for him as Superman opposite her WW.
Not recommended. Best to wait for video.
I'm really looking forward to it, although some of the reviews popping up on RT aren't so favourable. I'm not quite as hyped as I was for Angels and Demons, mainly because Felicity Jones seems a bit wooden in the trailers, but hopefully it will be 3 for 3 with the Langdon Brown adaptations. I loved the first two.
