I think this was the movie that introduced my younger self to Jerry Lewis's movies. Still makes me laugh out loud. Something that modern comedies don't do to me.
I'm happy you appreciate THE NEON DEMON. It's a film I have grown quite fond of. Visually impressive to say the least.
I watched Neon Demon on Netflix though I will certainly buy it on Blu ray at some point, its definitely worth a revisit I would be interested to listen to any commentary's or documentary's on the film.
Cracked open a beautiful bottle of red (Stag's Leap Cab/Sauv 2015-- for anyone who loves wine, this'll knock your tastebuds through the roof), and joyfully watched this masterpiece unfold.
It's as good now as the first time I watched-- just as chilling/shocking. My wife was floored by the tension and she did something unexpected: she was talking to the screen, scolding Josh Brolin at every turn (she especially hated how he was chewing his gum-- wonderful performance!)
Interestingly, your first Lewis film was the last "true" Lewis film.
By the way, I've got something half-written on Which Way to the Front?. I'll finish it and post it one of these days. I think it's a very underrated film. Sadly, Lewis stopped making movies at a potentially very interesting stage of his career.
Oh yeah. I'd add in Superman: The Movie to that...
And James Earl Jones is one of the great things about both.
absolutely all great films
I thought that during the end scene of Conan..., Thulsa Doom and Vader two of the greatest villains in cinema.
Scared the hell out of me. Very well done, and not your typical slasher. Turned my stomach upside down.
It was plain evil @FoxRox. No reason for this terrorism they brought down on the couple.
I got around to finally watching Creed. I love the Rocky franchise like I love a well made and cheesy pizza. They are quintessentially "guy" films and know how to hit all the right cords in us.
I was concerned that without Rocky as the lead protagonist, Creed wouldn't be a Rocky film.
My concern was ill-founded. Apart from the ridiculousness of that swollen eye in the final fight, this was a 4 out of 4 pleasure. Sly continues to be able to capture and bring humanity with this role he created way back in '76.
And Michael B Jordan is quite the leading man. In another thread I was complaining that "real" men are hard to find in the upcoming generation of actors. This guy leads the charge by a long-shot (I haven't seen BP yet (I do feel superhero fatigue), but will now surely see it soon since I was blown away by his on-screen magnetism). Jordan was dynamic and energetic, and most of all genuine. This guy has a long future ahead of him.
But you’re right when you say give credit where credit’s due (but then you have, of course, lawyers and agents saying be careful of what you say or else you will (be sued; share credits (loss of income)).
I’m also curious to see what the director’s childhood experience was now! I’ll give it a google search!
Bryan Bertino's childhood experience was this: “As a kid, I lived in a house on a street in the middle of nowhere. One night, while our parents were out, somebody knocked on the front door and my little sister answered it. At the door were some people asking for somebody who didn’t live there. We later found out that these people were knocking on doors on the area and, if no one was home, breaking into the houses”
I think you, me, and many on this forum, @bondsum, have more frightening tales from our youths!
You've made Them sound like a film I must see soon, bondsum. I kid you not: I'll have to wear my big boy pants and muster up the courage (I get deeply affected by senseless evil depicted in these types of films; the memory of them seems to crawl all over my body, making all hairs stand on end for weeks!)!
Them is a great little French thriller which has a slightly shorter running time of 77 minutes compared to The Strangers 88 minutes. There's no padding. It's just a straight edge of your seat thriller-come-horror movie. The main difference was that I felt Them felt more credible and real and didn't rely on the gimmick of designer masks and Jason Voorhees theatrics. You should definitely check it out.
do I feel good about my mental health after seeing this? No. I lost brain cells watching it (didn't have a lot to begin with).
So why was I laughing so damn hard (I haven't smoked weed in 20 years, wasn't drinking...)?...
Daniel Radcliffe and Trump getting AIDs in one film?... Elephant vaginas and ejaculate?... Shooting kids?... Oh boy, I need to see a specialist for this one. All of it--
ALL
OF
IT
Was wrong and my mother taught me better...
Fantastic film. Not as action heavy as the trailers indicated (but still plenty of very, very brutal action set-pieces, mostly gunfights with a huge body count), but jesus was this film intense. From the opening scene to the very last moment, I was gripping my seat. Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin once again deliver insane machismo and charisma. The rest of the cast was very good too - special mention to Isabela Moner who plays the girl seen in the trailers, she was much better here than in last year's Transformers 5. Great soundtrack, the gorgeous cinematography of the previous film is present in this sequel too. The end very much indicates a Sicario 3 is coming - and I need it now!
If Sicario (2015) was a 10/10 for me, Sicario 2: Day of the Soldado is a solid 8.5/10.
I'm happy to see you had a strong viewing experience.
Steve Jobs....
Holy...
S***...
Danny Boyle takes the life of a genius/asshole and turns it into a film you can't help but watch and somehow root for.
What he pulls from his actors is UNREAL... The visuals and story-telling via the camera-work is a thing of art; he makes the most mundane conversations into a tight-wire of tension.
This man is a great and energetic story-teller through and through... and seriously-- did anyone see that was Kate Winslet (for at least the first five minutes??)?????
Absolutely-- the 80s were the best for popcorn films (last two SW films, Indy films, Lethal Weapons, the first DH, Commando (triple the cheese factor), Goonies, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science...)
Fassbender looks great,even as a piss-head cop.
Barry, do you think he'd make a good Bond?
Of all the names been thrown around, he would be the one I would be intrigued to see!
He would be PERFECT as Bond ,better than Craig even,Mathis.
Its just convincing him to take the role .
