Oh my lord this film looks amazing, the school bus sequence classic Superman. Personally in retrospect this film is a work of art, one of the best Superhero movies.
Glad to be hearing good things about this, looking forward to checking it out.
It was highly enjoyable. Even going in with high expectations it was still better than I expected! Will be buying for sure down the road.
Can't understand the flak this film gets.
While the 70's Superman film will never be beaten in my eyes by ANY superhero film, Man Of Steel was a very good new take on the Superman legend.
I like the way the film jumps from time frame to time frame without a hiccup.
Surprisingly, this was a really great horror film.
Man of Steel is a lot better than the 70s and 80s films, and this is coming from someone who grew up at the time as a massive fan.
I swear, when this is over I will never say anything rude about DAD ever again.
I just finished this David Lean directed romance drama starring Katherine Hepburn. Based on a play by Arthur Laurents (of West Side Story fame) entitled The Time of the Cuckoo, it's expertly filmed entirely on location in Venice, with superb cinematography by Jack Hildyard (who also did Bridge on The River Kwai with Lean). Hepburn plays Jane Hudson, a middle aged single secretary, who is on her dream vacation in Italy. She's saved up for this trip for years, and intends to make the most of it. While staying at a local Pensione (owned by Ms. Fiorini, played by Isa Miranda), she befriends a local chlid Mauro who hangs around the canals, meets a few fellow travelers (all of whom are attached) & eagerly takes in the lovely local sights with her trusty cine-camera. While independent & spirited, Jane is also lonely, and Hepburn conveys this isolated wistfulness very well. Fortunately for Jane this is Italy, and soon enough she meets antiques dealer Renato de Rossi (played by a charming Rossano Brazzi) who takes an interest in her. The remainder of the film focuses on their whirlwind romance, sadly doomed from the beginning due to the fact that he is married with kids.
This film really showcases Venice beautifully, which perhaps shouldn't come as a surprise given Lean is involved. The city almost becomes a character in itself, with the narrow canals, numerous bridges and Piazza San Marco serving as majestic backdrops for the story. Hepburn gives an engaging performance as the enthusiastic, folksy & yet somewhat awkward Jane. As mentioned, she conveys her character's sad loneliness very well. The film itself is a not really my cup of tea, being a bit schmaltzy for my palate, but there's no denying the excellence of Hepburn's Oscar nominated performance or the beauty of Venice, expertly brought to life by Lean (also nominated) & Hildyard. Apparently, this is one of Lean's personal favourites.
I had my best viewing of this movie, It's really underrated and just as good as the first I'd say. I really love how you can feel how much time goes by in the first two movies. It feels like you're watching the whole thing unfold in it's elapsed time.

Die Hard From Russia with lousy film making
Agree Die Hard Sleep Walking in Russia is god dam awful film
Harsh. But fair.
I moved on to Pale Rider with Clint Eastwood. I'm not a huge Western fan (boyfriend's pick) and I wasn't expecting to enjoy it all that much, but it was a great watch with an unexpected appearance by Richard Kiel as a bonus.
