I still remember when David Letterman asked Charles Grodin what that movie Sunburn was about. His response? "About sunburn."
The Flash is one of my favorite superheros so it was a given i would like this, the movie really does have some awesome sequences usually involving the flash's ability's. I am a runner I run 20 - 25 miles week greatest feeling ever, so any character on screen that runs always gets me hyped (it probably why I am such a big fan of Tom Cruise lol). The CGI did not bother me as its what it implies that counts for me, admittedly the second act could have been trimmed down slightly, young Barry is a bit much at times and can be irritating, I never liked the casting though to be fair you do think Barry and young Barry are completely different people. The score to the film is exceptional. Supergirl and Michael Keaton's Batman highlight of the film.
"Nor I, you. Who talks like that?"
Tony Curtis was a really good actor, at everything, drama, comedy... sucks that his career went down in the seventies.
At least we got The Manitou. I haven't seen it but it looks cool. And Insignificance.
Yes, it's a shame really, he'd even struggled with drugs because his career was declining and been offered a few film roles (hence, why he accepted the role in The Persuaders!), thinking that it could somehow boost his career.
It's also a shame that he never won an Oscar (despite of his great performances), I'm glad that Jamie Lee Curtis remembered him at the Oscars when she won.
Tony Curtis could really play anything, he's realistic in all of his roles, he's really creepy in The Boston Strangler.
I may also recommend you watching Lepke, he's also great in that.
Tony Curtis is an underrated actor.
Thank you for mentioning The Manitou and Insignificance, I'm going to watch those.
Thanks for the recommendation, l'll definitely watch Lepke.
I remember in his book, Tony talks about how after Last Tycoon, he thought his career was back on track, but it turned out to be just an exception. So cool seeing him act with De Niro though. Two different generations of actors.
He also talks about how he felt he wasn't properly connected anymore in the film industry of the seventies, particularly after switching agents (from Lew Wasserman to Swifty Lazar).
@Fire_and_Ice_Returns … although I found this film a hot mess, Keaton-Batman and Supergirl really did run away with it.
I expected as much with Keaton, and I love his Batman (my favourite); but I knew nothing about the actor playing Supergirl. She was fantastic. It’s a true shame that Gunn won’t be continuing with her, since I saw so much potential….
@GoldenGun
It's really not that good a film. I wouldn't pursue it. I found a DVD on eBay.
So what did you think of Grodin in the film? I've only seen him in comedic roles of the 80's and 90's, but I'm aware that in the seventies, after the success of The Heartbreak Kid, he had a very brief phase where he was more the "cool" leading man, in films like 11 Harrowhouse. I don't necessarily expect him to be great at that, but I'll watch those performances with fascination nonetheless.
One of the biggest takeaways from The Flash was how good Sasha Calle was as Supergirl I wish she had more screen time. I saw a few interviews with Sasha and came across as a genuinely lovely person, it is a shame the film did so poorly as many involved in the project deserved better. I hope Sasha get's good roles going forward, i would like to see her do well. I saw Batman 89 at the cinema, I did geek out a bit when Danny Elfman's theme played.
Edited: What does baffle me as I am currently watching The Flash again, they put in CGI often when surely it was not needed. It must be down to Miller not been available so they were forced into way too much CGI?
The cameo's did not bother me as in context of what was going on in the scene it made sense.
Nothing special. He was okay, reminded me a bit of Chevy Chase in Fletch.
Thanks for the advice, if I'll ever find it on YT, I'll give it a try :)
First, Everything Everywhere All at Once : For once, the title didn't lie. It's a movie that stays with you for a long time, and can be the subject of many theories (for example, did all those things happen, or did the protagonist experience a psychotic break from the pressure she was under ?). And all those who got an oscar really deserved it. My favourite scene ?
Second : Gamera the Brave : The last (so far) movie of the series featuring the flame-breathing giant turtle. Even if the producers decided to bring back kids after the (great) Heisei trilogy, this time, they're not as annoying as the "Kennys" from the original movies. The movie is at times emotional. And the final fight is really great.
Happy Birthday to you, in case I forget come Friday! That's a great birthday present right there.
Happy Birthday @LucknFate. Despite living in New York City, I’ve never been to the Metrograph, so you’ll have to report back (if nothing else it seems like they have a nice selection of wines and cocktails!). Some time ago I saw FRWL with a packed crowd at the Film Forum as part of their “1962-1964” movie retrospective. If your evening is anything like my experience, I know that you’re going to have a great time.
One of the nice things about living in NYC is that we still have a number of repertory theaters that screen independent, foreign and classic/older films. And seeing a great film on the large screen is still a fun night out. For example, I just saw “2OO1” (in 70mm) and “DOUBLE INDEMINITY” (35 mm print) within the past three days at the Angelika. Even for a film that I’ve watched countless times on DVD, I’m always amazed at the little details that I’m able to pick out when I see it on the large screen.
I wish I could join you but given my commute the starting time is a bit late. In any case have FUN!!!!
Blood and Wine. Riveting, especially the ending, which was also poignant. It was a treat to see Jack and my main man Caine sharing the screen. The latter played a cruel yet pitiful bastard.
Thanks everybody! And @Dwayne if you ever want to catch something, let me know. They're playing FRWL at Metrograph at later showtimes all weekend, the Sat and Sun times were a little earlier but not by much. It's also on the smaller screen of the two Metrograph has, which isn't great. I'd call it "academic" haha. But it will be fun for me and my date, who has never seen a Bond film! Funnily enough, we had discussed FRWL as a good first Bond film before this screening came up. I just got very lucky!
"You are nothing, Labiche. The paintings are mine; they always will be. Beauty belongs to the man who can appreciate it."
Yes, I'll have to watch "The Train" again.
It's got the best score in the series for me.
