Hereditary is definitely even better the second time you see it.
Same with Midsommar which although I loved it on first viewing I liked it even more second time.
My favourite film of last year.
This is the worst Marvel movie I have ever seen. Only the main title sequence at the end was any good.
Excellent, but not entirely coherent war movie by Swiss director Bernhard Wicki about a "blockade-breaking" German freighter sailing from Tokyo to carry 7,000 tons of natural rubber to Bordeaux during WW II. Yul Brynner is playing the captain of the vessel, who is more or less blackmailed by his superior officers to command the vessel, while Marlon Brando is playing a German that had tried to escape the war by moving to India and being blackmailed himself by the Brits (in this case Trevor Howard) to get on board in the guise of an SS official and try to secure the cargo for the Allies. Initially, I do not find it entirely clear how that results in the Brando character actually getting on board, posing as that SS officer so simply, but ultimately that leads to him being discovered anyway.
The crew, from the beginning, is composed of convicted criminals, including political ones, indicating that the Nazis were aware that it was basically a suicide mission. They (the convicts, not the Nazis) ultimately work together with the Brando character, especially after the ship takes over shipwrecked persons from a Japanese submarine, who include the only female character in the movie, a Jewish woman named Esther Levy (Janet Margolin).
At the end, it seems like nobody is alive except Brando and Brynner on board, and it is up to the viewer to speculate how it will turn out.
This is one of the rare movies filmed in English (I suppose) that my wife and I deliberately watched in its German-dubbed version. But not only are the characters that Brando and Brynner played meant to be German, but almost the entire story takes place on that German freighter and there were many excellent German actors involved (if only second-tier, on Hollywood terms) , so we thought it was the lesser evil. Based on that experience, highly recommended.
Enjoyable enough I suppose.
Romantic drama with and for kids. I loved it.
I'll echo your thoughts on that my friend.
Sandler is extraordinary but I can't see myself returning to this again for sometime. It feels like a horror film and a claustrophobic air to it.
Definitely worth a view but far from an easy watch.
Silly yet entertaining is the best way to describe this film. Features Christopher Lee, Patrick Allen and Peter Cushing.
Agree, it was exhausting to watch.
Absolutely. Was so glad to catch it on the big screen over here before it ended up on Netflix. A real experience.
Sandler is outstanding in it, managing to squeeze every ounce of entertainment and sympathy from an utterly loathesome character.
UK version, I have still not seen the Extended cut. This film gets an emotional reaction from me, sad to say not many films do these days. This film pulls no punches.
Great movie, second best film in the series IMO.
I agree 100% ; for me, in hindsight, this should have been the last. It’s classic Rambo and he finally makes it home.
I was profoundly disappointed in Last Blood ; it was a generic action, rescue/ revenge flick and the character was so poorly written that he didn’t resemble John Rambo.
Rambo V was not great though certain scenes worked for me which got me invested. The fourth film is far superior and would have been a fitting end I agree.
Ms. Harris is pretty damn good in this, an enjoyable chase thriller that isn't quite as clever as it thinks it is (and has a fairly thin plot), but its strong pace and some solid action go a long way to making it worthwhile.
I do really enjoy watching this film a lot. Very underrated IMO.
Yes it's design is derivative of Alien and it's basically a western in space.
But it's got a smart script and a really good cast. Connery is his usual excellent self as the gruff Marshall O'Neill, and he has able support from Frances Sternhagen and Peter Boyle.
Connery and Sternhagen have great chemistry in their scenes with some nice banter. Connery also shares some tense scenes with the ever reliable Boyle, who plays the Moon's slimy administrator.
Also a highlight is Jerry Goldsmith's moody score.
Yes, essentially its High Noon...in space! But it's still enjoyable! Connery is great, and is still cool! Peter Boyle is a great villain, and Peter Hyams does a good job with the action.
I cant remember whether it was Connery or Moore (who was making FYEO at the same time) claiming they had lunch together offset, since both movies were made at Pinewood!!
Lone Wolf McQuade 4/6 , Norris as TX Ranger......okay but Delta Force is much much better
Yes, i think it was labled 'High Moon' by reviewers at the time!
Damn right! High Noon is a great film.
There was also another space film out around the time that remade a western. Battle Beyond The Stars which remade the Magnificent Seven (which itself was a remake of Seven Samurai)
It was a bit more low brow than Outland and a lot cheaper. But it's a fun film overall. Has a great score by James Horner.
Worth a look if you haven't seen it, even if it's just to see Sybil Danning in her Valkyrie outfit!
