    Rubbish film.

    Fantastic & epic score , locations , Arnold and Sandahl did a fine job but JEJ steals the show as Thulsa Doom.......one of Arnies best imo so I strongly disagree ;)

    The Bourne Legacy

    Mèh. ;-) It's not a bad film but IMO it doesn't hold up to the first three. I reckon they shouldn't, perhaps, have made this film. :) But it's here all right and I can - to some degree - enjoy it.

    Robocop : The Future of Law Enforcement (aka the feature lenght pilot to Robocop the Series. And it isn't half as bad as I remembered. Even with the lack of gory violence of the first film)
    The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
    The Ambushers
    Murderer's Row

    Fantastic Four
    And
    Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

    (First time viewing)

    Not as bad as critics make out, my very low expectations meant I actually enjoyed the films. Of course they could be better, but after hearing about a new reboot of the series, it will be interesting to see the direction it takes as both films got certain things spot on.

    One of Scheider's more underrated films/performances, despite the sleazy tone. Glover is perfect as one of those villains who are so cocky (calling everyone names like slim and sport), that you can't wait for Scheider's character to bring him down a peg or two, or in the case of the film...
    blow him up.

    @MajorDSmythe, thanks for that, I may have to watch it now. I've been a fan of Scheider's since seeing 'Jaws' when I was a kid, and was totally sold on his performances after watching 'Marathon Man' with Dustin Hoffman.

    I've been a fan of Scheider's for a while.

    The Seven Ups
    Jaws
    Blue Thunder
    52 Pick-Up
    Still Of The Night
    and Night Game are my favourites.

    I've left out The French Connection on purpose, as fantastic as that film is, it belongs to Hackman. And I need to re-watch The Marathon Man, as the last time I watched it, was before I got into Scheider's work.

    I really enjoyed this one. Though I have gripes with some of the pacing this was a really interesting film set in just a two hour span of time. I don't want to say much about it because it is best to go into it alone and let it surprise you, because you never really know how it'll end up to the final moments. I will definitely have to look into Gary Cooper's filmography soon, as he did impress as a real man's man hero for the ages. Not the best western, but a darn good one. Highly recommended.

    I haven't seen this either.
    Scheider was a very good actor so i might have to find this film.

    Great film. Sly stealing the show from his more illustrious co-stars. Loved it years ago, love it even more now.

    Dismal and disappointing sequel to the vastly superior Richard Johnson/Bulldog Drummond adventure Deadlier Than The Male. Usually when a fun film has a slipshod sequel, it has a different behind-the-scenes crew but SGD had the same director/producer/writer combo(minus 1. Jimmy Sangster wasn't around this time. Perhaps he's the unsung hero of the 1960s Bulldog Drummond series?) as DTTM. Whereas DTTM came close to succeeding at imitation Bond and in fact being as good as some mid-range official EON series entries, SGD barely makes it to the level of imitation Flint/Helm/UNCLE territory. The slick and classy production values of the first Richard Johnson/Bulldog Drummond film are conspicuously absent. And why on earth did they dub Daliah Lavi's(the Detainer from 1967's Casino Royale) exquistely sexy and exotic voice? I also wonder how it got a G rating. It should've been a PG(or M as it would've been at the time). It's not hard to figure out why there's not been a single Bulldog Drummond film made since this one. A few good lines(like this exchange between Petersen and Drummond-

    "History repeats itself. Napoleon dreamt of the entire universe thronging to his door. Now I shall fulfill his dreams."
    "Dressed as the Duke of Wellington?"
    "Well of course my dear fellow. Never back a loser.") and seeing the inspiration for Austin Power's fembots are among the saving graces. Bond vets James Villiers(Tanner in FYEO), Virginia North(Olympe from OHMSS) and Joanna Lumley(English girl from OHMSS) also appear.

    I'm giving it ** out of ***** and that's being generous. For those who haven't seen a Richard Johnson/Drummond adventure, stick with Deadlier Than The Male instead. Some Girls Do makes the average entry in Dean Martin's Matt Helm series look like From Russia With Love by comparison. @-)

    At last. ;)

    On it's own, I thought SGD was ok. What did you think of title song by Lee Vanderbilt. Like DTTM, I thought it was catchy.

    All courtesy of the wonderful world of youtube, Major. B-)

    I put it and the trailer along with DTTM in this Bulldog Drummond thread:

    The title song wasn't bad. The lyrics were from Bond vet Don Black. And like the trailer, better than the film itself. Did you see SGD 1st or DTTM 1st Major? Also, who was your favorite Drummond girl in SGD? Mine was Daliah Lavi even though her talents were put to better use in the 1967 CR spoof and in the 1966 Dean Martin Matt Helm film "The Silencers"-

    I bought the Network double pack, so I watched DTTM first. Favourite SGD girl? :-? I'm going to go with Daliah Lavi as well.

    The latest resident evil movie. I sat there in the cinema and became so enraged with confusion as to why I decided to watch this POS movie and then fell asleep only to wake up during the end credits.

    Taken 2. Fun, not as good as the first one. It shouldn't have been a 12, it felt much less violent than the first film.

    6 Bullets (2012)

    6bullets2012dvdripx264a.jpg

    Think of Taken, but Van Damme style and 6 Bullets is what you get, execpt that it isn't Van Damme's daughter that is snatched. Using the same director as Assassination Games, this isn't quite as good despite some good moments. In short, average Van Damme.

    ALL 3 HOURS AND 22 MINUTES. NO MEDAL TO SHOW FOR IT. After this film, every other that follows it will be nothing to watch. All jokes aside, while I am by no means a religious man, I have to respect the depth that this film went to, from a revenge plot to a theme of healing, which you never think about until the end. The scope and length of the film is startling, and the ambition of this pictures is probably why it has such lasting appeal. You might not find this in a best film ever list for me, but it deserves respect for making a non believer go along with the story's religious undertones. The film as a whole has important messages, but I give a warning: it is a long film that requires full attention. This film will be one that requires a few more viewings to gain the full scope it offers.

    Just watched GoldenEye with my housemate, who was seeing it for the first time.

    He called it "the most ridiculous and laughably poor James Bond film ever".

    One viewing of A View To A Kill coming up tomorrow.

    I rewatched Psycho again yesterday, and examined its music in my college class yesterday. Bernard Herrmann's score is absolutely brilliant. Fan art on the film will be flowing into my art thread on here if anyone wants to check it out.
