I still need to see the original. If it's remotely in line with the remake, I'll thoroughly enjoy it.
I cannot compare, but found this trailer with English translation.
I knew a Twilight joke was coming, and did nothing to prevent it.
What can I say, I am a fan of Twilight.
One of the most action packed films ever.
Does anything come close to this film in terms of action ?
And you're right.
It's only the second time I have seen this insane film, when it all came flooding back my brain almost melted. Definately a film if you have never seen you have to go in knowing nothing about.
Ultimately very clever and to say its messed up is an understatement.
I still think Max 2 has better action! And is a better film overall!
I had read the story and then discussed it in physics class prior to seeing the movie, but I still loved every aspect of Predestination. It's a nice little film, with solid performances overall.
Incredibles 2 (2018). The filmmakers knew that their core audience grew up, and it shows! It's more for adults than for kids! A great sequel, up there with the Toy Story movies.
Difference being, Beyond Thunderdome is not very good at all while Fury Road is a very good film - even if Furiosa steals the limelight.
The first hour of Beyond Thunderdome is good, the rest prett y poor.
And, yes, there was too much emphasis on the Furiosa character in Fury Road.
The thing is, all of the Mad Max sequels have characters that steal the limelight from him. Max himself isn't all that interesting. His arc was essentially completed in the first film. Beyond that, he's just a vessel that accidentally stumbles into these situations. So, quite a lot of the Furiosa stuff was welcome and the fact that it was played by someone as good as Theron made it even better. And despite that particular criticism, Max is still in almost every single scene of the film.
Road Warrior is best, Fury Road is tremendous and I have no reservations on it. Confronting Max with the escaping women and their plight is genius, and the handling of action, humor, death, social commentary, and the rest is true to Max's world.
The first (legitimate) UniSol sequel. Not on par with the original, but it's ok, for a quick JCVD fix. And Michael Jai White is a welcome presense in anything. I know he was in Spawn, but how come he was never bigger? Van Damme, at least, had a golden age from the late 80's to the mid-to-late 90's. Jai White, though still kicking, seemed never to have caught a break.
The Pink Panther Strikes Again Sellers and Lom are both on top form in this film jammed packed full of lunacy. Its not my favourite from the series though its one of the films that has one of the better overall narratives. Its fitting that this was a double bill with TSWLM Chief Inspector Clouseau's nemesis is in full on Bond Villain mode in this one. They don't make comedies like this anymore.
An Innocent Man (1989). Very enjoyable crime drama. Selleck is terrific as usual; it was gripping to see him playing an ordinary man who has to undergo those terrible circumstances. The corrupt cops were truly despicable. I felt the ending could have benefitted from a little more time to breathe, and an explanation of how exactly things went down with the cops, rather than leaving us to put things together, but overall it was a very worthy viewing.
Not as good as Non-Stop, but 'Liam Neeson on a...' is a concept that definitely needs further exploration.
1. Non-Stop (2014)
2. Unknown (2011)
3. Taken (2008)
4. The Commuter (2018)
5. Taken 2 (2012)
6. Cold Pursuit (2019)
7. Taken 3 (2014)
a smile on my face, I haven't enjoyed a film as much in a long time. It's an obvious
satire on modern American politics, but very funny.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The action bits were a little stale at times but it had a few laugh out loud lines and it was so ridiculous that it was hard not to be a bit entertained by it.
Below par film. Anyone like it ?
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I often try to watch this film and imagine the first three films did not exist, and try to judge KOTCS on its own merits.
The first three films set the bar very high, the fourth film we all know falls very short. There is some fantastic imagary and the first act of the movie is not that bad with some good stunt work and effects. Marion is great in the first film though in the 4th film as soon as she turns up the film nose dives.
Years later after I first saw the film in the cinema Ford pulls it off in this and is still convincing IMO.
I had low expectations, but ended up enjoying it. The "climax" is pretty bad.
That s Jeff Daniels. Agree, the film is a very good one.
Is it? :O
EDIT: IMDb says it's Tracy Letts.
