Not quite as good as Alvarez's film, but still a good addition to the Evil Dead series.
Exactly how I felt.
I own all the other films, so I will likely blind buy the new one, trailers looked decent.
@mattjoes, you'll definitely want to check out Collateral as soon as you can. It's brilliant. And while it's not as beloved by most fans, Miami Vice is criminally underrated to me and ultra cool in every sense of the word.
'Manhunter' has always been a favourite of mine, and you should try and check out 'The Jericho Mile' a little seen prison movie of Manns, with Peter Stauss!
That nightclub shootout is gold. One of the finest put to film.
I've seen parts of Collateral and I know I'll love the film when I watch it. I'm open to watching Miami Vice too.
I recently watched Easy Money with Rodney Dangerfield. Fun film, Rodney is great in it. Like many people versed in comedy, he's also really good at playing it serious. From the rest of the cast, I particularly enjoyed the performances of Joe Pesci and Candice Azzara, an actress I wasn't familiar with but who is superb in a straight role as Rodney's wife. Manhunter's Tom Noonan is also in the movie. The film feels like it was edited down, because certain plot elements and characters (the neighbor with the dog, Jeffrey Jones' attempts to get the money) feel like they should have been explored more substantially. But it's still good fun. Would rewatch.
This is one of the highlights of the movie.
I rank them as follows:
Great:
2
4
1
Still very good:
5
Stinker:
3
Manhunter keeps getting better IMO. Not only was it a solid thriller in its days, but it now adds a powerful nostalgia trip, what with the soundtrack, cinematography and cast and all. I'd say it's my favourite police procedural along with Se7en and The Silence Of The Lambs.
Collateral was the first Mann film I saw in the theatre. I had a blast with it. It's a tense film, well shot, well acted, and very well directed. Cruise is really cool in a role that he's normally not expected to play. It's a film that keeps giving, IMO.
Yep, that scene always makes my dad and me laugh our heads off. I find Easy Money a bit underrated. Now that you mention it, there does seem to be a lot of material that was cut off a bit. Oh well, I still laugh at the movie for what it is.
All this film needed was Terry-Thomas and Peggy Mount, and it would have felt like a roadmap of late 50's/early 60's British comedy. What we do have though is: David Lodge, Bernard Cribbins, Liz Fraser, Wilfred Hyde White, Irene Handl, Lionel Jeffries and Maurice Denham, all lead by Peter Sellers.
Marvellous comedy. Lionel Jeffries is a hoot! This was thought to be the basis for the classic Dick Clement/ Ian LaFrenais sitcom, 'Porridge'
You should also check out 'The Wrong Arm of the Law', also with Sellers, Jeffries and Cribbins!
I love The Wrong Arm Of The Law. "Nosey" Parker. =)) I did wonder whether Jeffries character, Craut, was an inspiration when Mr MacKay was created.
All three guys in the photo were also in Casino Royale.
This reminds me to watch more Peter Sellers movies. IIRC, I'm up to 12 now but there's loads more to watch.
The Making of Rocky vs Drago: Keep Punching Documentary film.
A fascinating and thought provoking insight into Stallone's process and philosophy when he originally made the film and recently when he re edited the movie into what I consider far superior.
Seeing Stallone watch Rocky IV and he is reliving every moment is a absolute joy.
Your post made me look up how many PS movies I have. My DVD Profiler also finds twelve:
The Ladykillers (1955)
The Naked Truth (1957)
The Mouse that Roared (1959)
Never Let Go (1960)
Lolita (1962)
The Pink Panther (1963)
Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Love the Bomb (1964)
Casino Royale (1967)
The Party (1968)
The Return of the Pink Panther (1975)
Murder by Death (1976)
Being There (1979)
Disclaimer: I'm afraid I haven't even watched all of them so far, although some of them date back to 2003. But I've seen most, at any rate.
The second to fourth on the list as well as The Party and Murder by Death are on DVD. The others on BD. I need to find an affordable BD of The Party and MBD and I'll replace them instantly. Two of my favourite nonsensical comedies, of the LMAO type.
Also, based on the recommendations above, I ordered The Wrong Arm of the Law today. Two Way Stretch is not available on BD, and I try to avoid buying regular DVDs any more.
The Party is an absolute favourite of mine. One of the best comedies ever made, in my opinion. It's a crazy comedy, and probably not entirely politically correct in today's climate. But "birdie num-num" gets me every time.
Cool! Here's what I've seen:
The Pink Panther (1963)
A Shot in the Dark (1964)
Casino Royale (1967)
Hoffman (1970)
The Blockhouse (1973)
The Optimists of Nine Elms (1973)
The Great McGonagall (1974)
The Return of the Pink Panther (1975)
Murder by Death (1976)
The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976)
Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978)
Being There (1979)
Seen parts of, and looking forward to watching in full:
Lolita (1962)
What's New Pussycat (1965)
The Party (1968)
Where Does It Hurt? (1972)
Seen nothing of, and looking forward to watching:
The Ladykillers (1955)
Never Let Go (1960)
The Magic Christian (1969)
"We have a saying in India." "Yes?" "Yes." "Well?" "Well what?" Priceless, and I don't care if it's no more politically correct. Sellers is playing a fake and stereotypical Indian, no doubt, but he's the guy gathering sympathies all during the movie, and why should any Indian complain?
Whaaaat? Judging by your list, you haven't seen Dr. Strangelove, not even in part, and aren't looking forward to it? That must be an oversight on your part. Probably my favourite Kubrick movie (subject to change every half hour or so), but Ken Adam's War Room alone is worth watching it (the rest is too). And Peter Sellers, as usual, steals the entire show.
I bought Dr. Strangelove in 4K last year absolutely amazing film. Check out the The Mouse that Roared, Sellers was the natural successor to the genius that was Alec Guinness who both appeared in the brilliant The Ladykillers which i also have in 4K.
Strange, isn't it? Might there be someone apart from me that, of the Sellers filmography, is looking forward to watching Where Does It Hurt (a cheap, little known and not well-regarded film) but not Dr. Strangelove? I'm just that way, I guess!
I am more of a Terry-Thomas fan, but I have seen a few films with Sellers in.
The Wrong Arm Of The Law
Two Way Stretch
I'm Alright Jack
The Naked Truth
The Pink Panther
A Shot In The Dark
Return Of The Pink Panther
The Pink Panther Strikes Again
Revenge Of The Pink Panther
The Ladykillers
Casino Royale
Murder By Death
The Millionairess
One Sellers film that I have long wanted to see, is Only Two Can Play, as it was filmed down my neck of the woods.
I loved every frame and rank this one quite high alongside her other wartime classics.
And speaking of "girls in sweaters", I watched THE ASPHALT JUNGLE again today (while waiting for the repairman to arrive). What a film!!!
One way or another, we all work for our vice.
