The film itself is rather so-so to be honest, a bit down on tension. But the score is absolutely stunning and makes the film worthwhile if you ask me.
It does have an amazing score. The film has that typical slow-paced Le Carré type of spy work going on, but I don't mind that considering the fabulous location work (the only of two American films to be shot in the former USSR) providing an unmatched atmosphere. Combine that with a great cast, that also includes NSNA's Klaus Maria Brandauer and I'd say it's definitely worth a watch.
Stars: Rita Hayworth, Gene Kelly,
Great dancing.
Am a huge Walter Hill fan. 'Southern Comfort' was my favourite of his. Though i now lean towards 'Hard Times', his debut, which i adore!
I recently purchased 'Extreme Prejudice', not one of Hills best, but it has a superb interview with Hill on the extras!
Also had to buy a new copy of 'Johnny Handsome', my old dvd got damaged! Gritty little thriller, with great performance from Mickey Rourke!
I haven’t seen the remake but I do enjoy the original it’s a good film and one of my wife’s
favorites I think it’s actually one of Nicolas Cage’s bests before he became well Nicolas Cage....

Same here, always loved his directing on the pilot of Deadwood and a majority of his work over the decades. Wasn't sure what to expect with Southern Comfort but the atmosphere and varied cast of characters (Powers Boothe and Keith Carradine were the definition of cool and in command here) made it really stand out.
Instead went for
THE GENERAL (Buster Keaton, 1926)
Saw this as a kid, with people who probably saw it in the cinema when they were young. Couldn t remember anything other than it featuring Keaton on a train. Pretty great stuff. One scene must have been horribly expensive.
I knew nothing of this film going in so did not know what to expect, its quite funny and entertaining.
Correct. It was the single most expensive shot of the silent era. The locomotive stayed in the river until WWII, when it was salvaged for scrap metal.
Did I mention Buster Keaton is my favorite silent-era actor-director? Reworkings of his film action would be welcome in Bond films, very smart practical stuff.
There's also the real world history celebrated. Below is from an Almanac in my possession (yes, I have 'em) giving the background.

Batman:Hush Entertaining fantastic animation, action and some great moments, though the animated movie would have benefited more being a two parter as 90 minutes is not enough to fully do the story justice.
A lot was changed from the source material and also its been fit into the The New 52 movie continuity, its still one of the better Animated DC movies in the last few years though not top tier.
The first and best of the UniSol films, classic Van Damme, and Dolph is a nutter. "Are we having fun yet?""

(One of my fave scenes from any Star Trek)
Definitely one of the best. Loved Alfre Woodard in that film! She was a really cool catalyst between the past and the future.
Justice League Dark: Apokolips War awesome film certainly one of the best in the 15 film run, I read that aspects of this film were initially planned for Zach Snyders Justice League Trilogy. The film really does go Bat$#*% crazy at times, though the films leading up to the finale had set that up well enough, it's definately a DC Animated film I will regularly revisit.
And can we just appreciate just how good the special effects stand up nearly a quarter of a century later.
The Enterprise E was a gorgeous ship
Stars: Bradley Cooper, Anna Friel, Abbie Cornish ,de niro
Good Sci-Fi, Thriller
Agreed. The effects are fantastic and still look amazing. I love the whole look of the film period. Star Trek never reached the same heights again after this film. I think it reached a new low with the abysmal Picard
Animazing movie.
Matrix Reloaded 4K I love this movie full of great idea's, I watched all the trilogy in the cinema, happy days. Hopefully I will get to see the fourth installment on the big screen sooner rather than later.
I loved Reloaded. Probably my favorite in the trilogy. Revolutions was still a letdown. Hopefully the 4th can retcon and or expand on it and the universe more. Outside of NTTD, Matrix 4 is probably the most anticipated film for me since its been 17 years.
I watched Reloaded several times at the cinema and vividly remember chatting with mates after in the pub theorising what does it all mean lol The one consolation was we only had to wait mere months to see the finale.
The fourth film I am expecting another iteration of the Matrix, what was set up in Reloaded they really could make these films indefinitely, each new iteration of the Matrix reflecting a past age or current commentary on society and in the current climate there is a lot to comment on.
That's what I always loved about the series: if there's one franchise that's absolutely ripe and plausible for reboots and new trilogies, it's this one. I can't wait to see it revitalized with returning and new characters alike.
I didn't get the chance to watch this film at the cinema, as my cinema only showed it for a couple of weeks or so in the most busy period of the year, so I had to wait for the home media release. And then I kinda forgot about it until this weekend, when I found it by chance on a streaming service I subscribe to.
As a fan of whodunits, Knives Out was right up my alley, and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of the film. Why can't they make more films like these?
It's a 10/10 film, easily – and as for someone who's not the biggest Craig era fan, I think I prefer him as Benoit Blanc!
It's a fantastic film. I was well aware of the good reviews but it surprised me just how good it is. I'm a massive fan of the whodunnit also and agree it's a shame there aren't more like this.
