Had never watched this before, so I figured now was as good a time as any...a lot of people had hyped this one up, but I think with a couple of exceptions, this one fell kind of flat.
@Creasy47 I think The Hateful Eight and Reservior Dogs are probably his two best. I know a lot of people who would say Django Unchained but I've never cared too much for it.
I'm sure by now everyone knows about the " breaking " of the wrong guitar in Hateful eight.
Although it helped to give a fantastic reaction shot.
My favourites of Quentin's are Pulp, Kill Bill 1 and Inglorious Basterds. I really like Jackie Brown too but it's more of a slow burn, and not as immediately thrilling.
2. Reservoir Dogs
3. Inglourious Basterds
4. Pulp Fiction
5. Kill Bill
6. Hateful Eight
7. Django Unchained
8. Kill Bill 2
9. Death Proof.
I really don't care for DP and it's the only one I didn't see theatrically or own on Blu ray.
After that I can rewatch them but KB 2 is a slog, some great moments but as a whole could have done with some pruning, KB 1 is much more satisfying.
JB has for me the best acting in any QT film with the possible exception of Waltz's extraordinary turn as Hans Landa in IB.
Absolutely. You can even see Jennifer Jason Leigh look off camera at Tarantino (or some crew member) in awe and confusion.
Pretty good film, worth watching if you haven't seen it, or your money back. :)
Tarantino films:
1. Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2
2. Reservoir Dogs
3. Death Proof
4. Pulp Fiction
5. Django Unchained
6. Inglorious Bastards
7. Jackie Brown
I have yet to see The Hateful Eight.
Probably my favorite of the Rathbone Holmes films. I love the train setting and mystery.
A few of the Rathbone/Bruce films are on Amazon Prime instant video some titles are in both colour and black and white. I have only seen them all in black and white previously, the added colour on Terror at Night is not bad at all.
Neither did I in the past I have been cautious with colourised films, Terror at Night does not look as cheap as you might expect.
Don't get me wrong? I love Sherlock! However? The Rathbone/Bruce classics hold a special place in my heart.
To me the age of the Rathbone films adds layer to the films, admittedly that's one of my favourite era's of film.
I have downloaded three other Rathbone films to watch at work lol
Couldn't agree more. As a young boy they were my introduction to Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson.
The films are very atmospheric similar to early Hitchcock films it appears four films have been colourised and remastered the other three are Prelude to Murder, Secret Weapon and Woman in Green I am tempted to get the boxset, I am guessing the B&W versions will also be remastered.
I came across this Peter Yates (Bullitt) directed film in the bargain bin at a local grocery and so picked it up. It boasts a stellar cast in their prime, including William Hurt, Sigourney Weaever, Christoper Plummer, James Wood, Steven Hill and Morgan Freeman. The film has a bit of a 70's going on 80's look to it - slightly dark and grungy. Hurt plays Darryl, a Vietnam Vet who is now an unambitious janitor in a corporate highrise. One night he encounters a murder victim in the building while doing his cleaning. The resulting press attention leads him to strike up a relationship with a local reporter/anchorwoman Tony (Weaver) who he has coincidentally been infatuated with for some time. Tony takes an apparent interest in Darryl, succumbing to his clumsy flirtations, but it seems as though she is merely using him to get information for her scoop. He coyly lets on that he knows more than he does in order to spend time with her. Unfortunately, this ruse draws the attention of the killer, who believe that Darryl does in fact have information pertinent to the murder, and he therefore becomes a target. There's an all too coincidental interconnected plot about nefarious Israeli agents who are connected to Tony and the murder.
This film is a bit of a slow mover. It takes its time to get going in that old school sort of way. However the performances are quite compelling, which is perhaps unsurprising with this calibre of cast. It's also quite atmospheric, with many scenes filmed at night. The characters are also quite textured and three dimensional, and it's that more than the somewhat sparse and coincidental thriller plot which kept me engrossed. As an aside, Sigourney Weaver was absolutely stunning at this point in her career.
The original had a good premise and an interesting character in Jigsaw, although the later ones turn into torture porn.
Definitely agree. The first seemed somewhat original. It didn't need 6 sequels.
This film was a total blast. Very fast paced with almost no time catch your breath, highly thrilling action scenes, a lot of brutal kills, and a simply stunning and electric performance from Michael Keaton - amazing to witness in some scenes where he was totally unhinged. The young actor who plays the lead character was pretty damn impressive in the action scenes - I was pretty unaware of him as an actor, I've only seen him in a small role in 'Deepwater Horizon'. Taylor Kitsch was pretty cool as the main villain, and I was very happy to see David Suchet in a movie again. As for Scott Adkins - he was a total badass, as usual. The style was very much a mix of Bourne and Safe House (the one with Denzel Washington in South Africa), and as I love these films, I greatly enjoyed American Assassin too. I really hope to see a sequel to be made, and I can't wait to own this film on Blu Ray so I can binge watch the hell out of it!
Amid a small coastal town's celebration of its centenary, strange events begin to transpire, and a fog moves in...
Getting the Halloween viewing started early this year! And a good start it was. The film's much better than I had expected it to be. Far spookier than it is scary — which is in a way is how I prefer Halloween. There's nothing here that hasn't been done before, but Carpenter is a capable filmmaker, and he himself is enough to wring the film for its worth. The plot unfurls in such a way as to hold interest throughout in spite of its familiar trappings. Also: always love seeing Jamie Lee turn up. She's great.
I watched them just for the twist endings. They always ended up catching me by surprise. Especially the first one
Saw this for the first time last week. Thought it was alright, but not quite my favorite Carpenter effort.
