    My issue with Matt Damon is that every time I watch him in a film, I expect him to start singing this tune :))

    I think the Bourne films are excellent action thrillers and I do watch them a lot. Paul Greengrass handles action well and I think QoS emulated his Bourne films.

    They're certainly not 'trash' and anyone who thinks so probably doesn't have the attention span to deal with them.

    Yes, I think I went too far calling the Bourne series “trash”. I apologize for the hyperbole. I think more accurate words to describe the Bourne films would be “horse crap”.

    No i don't! Too many decent members are scarce. All seem to be replaced by immature clowns. Find myself using this site less and less.

    Batman Forever and Batman & Robin - the latter particularly - are horrible movies, but can work as guilty pleasures and are more enjoyable than almost every Batman film after Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy (it it counts, Joker is the exception).

    @Mack_Bolan
    I think you've made your point about the Bournes. Don't be a broken record. Move on.

    The Bourne Identity is my favourite of the series by some distance.

    I recently came to the conclusion that I enjoy Per qualche dollaro in più (For a Few Dollars More) better than Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly).

    It's been a while since I watched those films, but as I remember them, I think Per qualche dollaro in più is better too.

    I prefer it and A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS to the TGTBATU actually.

    I think it's because he wears that poncho more.

    It is becoming tiresome in some areas,i do agree.
    And I stopped going into the Production Thread a long time ago,the spoilers were getting bigger and bigger,as was the bickering.

    Looking forward to seeing Outland with Sean Connery on Bluray, I have not seen it since I saw it in cinema and really enjoying this Scifi movie that is actually quite good a sort of High Noon in space.

    Love that film. Connery is excellent with great support from Peter Boyle and Frances Sternhagen.

    Also has a good Jerry Goldsmith score.

    I don’t think I have too many options about movies that can be construed as controversial.
    After racking my brain, here’s a few I thought of. They might not all be controversial.

    - I think the best Tarantino movie (or at least my favorite) is Jackie Brown. Yeah, I love Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction (saw the latter in the theater when I was a tender 15) and some of the others are good, but I find myself enjoying Jackie Brown more. The music is better and Pam Grier is a badass.

    - Don’t particularly love The Matrix like everyone else does. It’s all right, not the second coming.

    - Speaking of Keanu, I like the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still. He’s reeaaally wooden in it, but on purpose. It works for his version of Klatuu.

    - I think The Force Awakens is better than every other Star Wars movie with the exception of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. I think The Last Jedi is just behind it TFA.

    All I can think of for now.

    Director Peter Hyams was always known as a journeyman Director, never doing anything out of the ordinary (you have to give him a medal for bravery for taking on the sequel to Kubricks 2001, A Space Odyssey)
    Outland is very entertaining, Connery looks great in it, and Peter Boyle is always value for money! Effects are quite good too, and the finale is as tense as High Noon, to which it's alluded too!

    I really hate Forrest Gump

    Sentimental garbage, with a vomit inducing political message and each decade presented as nothing more than a caricature.

    When Gump does try to say something meaningful his microphone is conveniently unplugged.

    Ticked all the Academy award boxes. And Tom Hanks wisely never went 'full retard'

    @LeonardPine I completely agree. Forrest Gump can DO ONE.

    I loved Forrest Gump when I saw it as a 15-year old back in 1994. I thought now as an adult the movie wouldn’t work for me anymore and I’d find it irritatingly trite.

    Nope, still like it, despite my better judgement.

    Count me in among the Forrest Gump haters. Never understood the appeal.

    I'm with you guys as well. But once we're talking Tom Hanks movies, my all-time hate subject is The Green Mile. Sickening kitsch trying to cast professional killers (that's what guards in a death-row prison are, even if they are not acting intentionally sadistical) in a good light, with throwing in an assorted collectiion of pseudo-christian symbolism. One of the few movies where I even regret having bought the disc.

    I quite enjoy some of his movies, but I'd agree. He casts well and has a good eye, but his characters have more attitude than character and want to shock for the sake of it.

    I'd have to disagree there...

    I think the guy's a genius. Made some of the most cool and interesting movies of the last 25 years.

    I find the trio of David O'Russell, Bradley Cooper and in particular Jennifer Lawrence grossly overrated. Their movies are mean spirited and depressing.
