That said, I revisited the sequel right after and I actually enjoyed that a lot more. Felt a lot more like a traditional slasher, and I got to see Jack Black get killed.
Now that I can agree with. That was when Jason stopped being Freddy's puppet. My favourite scene of the film. That shot of Jason on fire, tracking Shack through the cornfield, was nicely done. It reminded me of the 'long grass' scene from The Lost World.
Gary Goddard invited Jacko onto He-Man set , they both been accused of pedo
Ebert was big fan of F13 and Jim Cornette has posters of Ultimate Warrior up on the walls all around his house :D
I kinda enjoy Vampirella , its very campy....never read the comics though
She was great as Evil-Lyn....kidding *grins*
They could always make animated Jaws films and set them in the 70s
Been watching some Helga Line films (who imo shouldve been a 007 girl) :
western (forget the title , she plays a saloon woman)
Mummys revenge (not bad but not really memorable movie either , stars Paul Nachy)
:-w
Can you please use the edit button next time instead of triple posting? Thank you.
I wouldn't go in expecting greatness. I actually wasn't the biggest fan when it first came out, but I've come to appreciate it more over the years. It's not 28 Days Later, but it has its moments.
Speaking of which, the opening and the second half of 28 Days Later feel like an unofficial remake of Day of the Dead to me. I seem to recall at least one of the Resident Evil sequels (Extinction maybe?) having some Day of the Dead references too.
I may have to watch the 2008 remake one day, but I don't have high hopes for it. I'm sure it went direct-to-video for a reason. To bring things full-circle here, I notice it was directed by Steve Miner who also did Friday the 13th Part 2 and 3.
I see the similarity to The Lost World's long grass scene. That whole scene with the raptors was basically like something out of a horror film with the "Marlboro Men" getting taken out one-by-one before they realize what's going on and run screaming.
I watched IKWYDLS only once, decades ago, on a bad TV that went dark half the time. I still understood enough of the plot. That's how predictable it was. Apparently the novel is very good and very different.
My controversial: the novel First Blood is far superior to the movie and deserves a closer adaptation of its own. But I don't think anyone in Hollywood would want to deal with the moral ambiguity of the book.
Only when she works with Soderberg. ;-)
I guess I should watch them. I just don't particularly want to.
And another one: I find Wayne's World 2 more fun to watch than the first one. Partially but not exclusively because of Christopher Walken, who lifts the material.
I avoid her films. There's just something about her that grates on me...
I don't think she's stellar or exceptional, but she can be perfectly adequate in the right role. I do like her brother a lot more, but that's because he often hams it up to maximum effect. I'm still not sure about Emma. I've seen her do well, and I've seen her do not so well. But overall, I have no issues with the Roberts clan. ;)
Yes she can be adequate, but she's rated far more than that.
Oh yes, I've probably said it before but Gwyneth Paltrow is grossly overrated and did not deserve her Oscar for Shakespeare in Love. Cate Blanchett got robbed that day, big time.
In Gunn’s, Ratcatcher II was great—a real emotional and performance highlight of the film—and I liked a few of the gags like the overhead projector joke, Weasel not knowing how to swim, and Elba’s prison call with his daughter and when he scowls “****, that’s true” when Cena talks about how you can brag when what you did is dope as ****. But other than that, I found the film overly long, unnecessarily gory, and routinely unfunny, and there’s nothing more laborious than an unfunny comedy. (This is coming from someone who’s actually a huge fan of Gunn’s first Guardians of the Galaxy.)
The 2016 Suicide Squad was unquestionably an editing room mess. It ultimately felt like two disjointed stories mashed together via flashbacks (the squad’s present-day mission and the origin of Joker and Harley). But the characters were relatively interesting and the soundtrack was lively and for all its narrative problems it still moved along at a good pace. The storyline with Smith and his daughter (which Gunn would simply replicate with Elba in his sequel for some reason) was the real emotional heart of the first Suicide Squad. Of course, it’s also great seeing Batfleck going after Joker and Harley in Gotham, however briefly.
There’s a lot to enjoy in that first film, however messy the package. At the very least it doesn’t lose my interest like Gunn’s version does. It’s brisk and involving and never takes itself too seriously or tries too hard to show off.
I have never enjoyed LW that much. DIE HARD, on the other hand, has four great movies to offer. Yes, four.
I mean, of course. There’s only been four. :)
For me DH has one genuinely great movie to offer and it's the first one. But Nothing Lasts Forever is superior to the movie it inspired.
I preferred I Know What You Did Last Summer to Scream, back in the day. And I still do today. The self awareness of Screan, was too in your face. Whereas IKWYDLS was a 'what you see on the tin, is what you get' slasher. I didn't bother with the sequels. No, I tell a lie, I did see.... Scre4m. But I don't remember anything about it other than the twist.
Maybe it was all just a bad dream? ;)
Now that's good! :)
I can see where you are coming from. I know I said it before, but I think Aladdin (1992) would have still been a hit without him. It has a lot of great things in it, besides him as the Genie. That’s my controversial opinion.
Aladdin would have still been a hit, but I think his performance in it was a classic in itself. Dead Poets Society is a manipulative film that is grossly overrated. As a former student and teacher of humanities I find it insulting.
