First time seeing this. Good, but not quite as good as I was hoping. The long action shots were pretty amazing.
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Recently bought the whole Dollars trilogy on Blu-Ray. First time I've seen it in a while. Still feel like Once Upon a Time in the West is my favorite Leone western, but damn what a movie. Epitome of the phrase "they don't make 'em like they used to."
'Children of Men' is one of my favorite films. Cuaron's filmmaking style is so unique, and I'm a big fan because of it. Clive Owen as excellent in this, as well, alongside a wonderful supporting cast.
Love this movie more than I thought I would. It's funny because if it wasn't a teddy bear and just a real guy it wouldn't have been as funny.

Great fighting scenes and enjoyable movie.
Just watched it too. I give it 9/10.
It's the closest thing we can get to a live-action Family Guy episode. And I most especially like the Flash Gordon references they put. Bonus points for John Bennett's funny rendition of All Time High.
'Alien' is a fantastic, creepy horror film. That scene in the air duct gets me every time. I know 'Leviathan' came out after it, but I think the films are easily comparible in that the story takes a bit to build up, lots of mystery surrounds what this creature is, and then we finally get a good look at it towards the end. I'm about a half hour in to 'Aliens' now, and I hear it's a lot more action-oriented than the claustrophobic, eerie feel that 'Alien' had, which is a shame. We'll see how it is. I haven't seen it in years, so I don't remember anything from it.

A simple movie about an inventor who accidentally shrinks his kids and his neighbors kids and accidentally throws them out with the trash. The kids have to find a way to get back to the house, but also have to dodge the perils of insects and lawnmowers.
I loved this movie as a child and still love it to this day. It's very adventurous and had brilliant witty humorous dialogue. The special effects are near perfect and the acting is wonderful. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a laid back good family movie.
10/10
Great story by le Carré (as always) and superb acting by Connery and Pfeiffer. I felt this was a Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) should've been: artistic but with lots of dialogue to keep focus on the complex story.
Interestingly there as also Michael Kitchen (Tanner) whom I've never seen in a movie outside Bond.
Have you read "Our Kind of Traitor", @0013?
Indeed. I know is not his best and I believe that'll your point, but I like it. It combines my two favorite topics in fiction: espionage + organized crime.
Even the last page?
That's the predictable part.
Currently watching Chinatown for the third time in as many weeks.
I naively didn't see it coming...
It's le Carré, so I figured: What's the most depressing way to end this novel, leaving me angered and distanced? I thought of it, and low and behold, he didn't disappoint.
Now that you say it it could happen today to me but not then because Our Kind of Traitor was the first one I read. By the way, at the end of The Russia House (movie) I was expecting a murder...
So I spoil it to you?? Sorry 0Brady... Anyway I can confirm nor deny that there's a murder at the end.
I'm a Dracula fan. I love the novel, plenty of Dracula films and a lot of EU material, including comics. One of my absolute favourites in the Dracula vault is Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film version, correctly titled Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Starring Gary Oldman, as the count, as well as Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu Reeves, Richard Grant, Monica Bellucci, Cary Elwes, Sady Frost and Tom Waits, this version is perhaps one of the strongest competitors to the 'classics' Dracula (1930), Nosferatu (1922 and 1978) and The Horror Of Dracula (1958).
The music, the visual style, the acting and the script of the film all match perfectly and shape the curious tale of Prince Vlad into a dreamy, frightening frenzy of horror and love.
Recommended.
5/5
IMDB & Rotten Tomatoes: ★ ★ ★ ★
If you plan watching this movie, you better open your mind. Believe me, you won't regret it.
One of the better films I saw this year. I fell in love with it; so unique, and Banderas was excellent in it.
Goodnight
It's still very Bond and amusing. But I cannot agree more when some say it could have been better. Certainly. In many ways. But as for QoS, same "syndrom", it's done and too late to be changed...so enjoy what can be in it.
Pierce Brosnan's general perf is one of the best for me, his most self-confident tenure and furthermore as a co-leading actor in a special script (I guess you know what I suggest) and even sometimes was too arrogant.
...arrogant. His only poor acting in DAD. The action scenes at 49, were more than acceptable. The peak during the fencing scene.
Mod edit: double post merged into one.
I agree with DAD. It isn't absolute trash, but it is very far from being a great Bond film. I still enjoy it, though, and focus on the good when I watch it.
This is arguably my favourite vampire film. The soundtrack by Wojciech Kilar is outstanding and even the legendary Danny Elfman said it was an influence on him for The Wolfman.
Gary Oldman deserved an Oscar for his performance. I loved the old style look of the film and it's strong themes. The film has many codings inside it.
Goodness just the way the film opens is spectacular.
By the way, do you like the Blu Ray as I hear it looks way different to the cinematic version or the pre-2007 DVD????????????
