Ghostbusters on Bluray - Recently bought it, one of the greatest comedy blockbusters me all time, remember watching it in the cinema as a kid. Bill Murray is on top form in this film.
I didn't find this film to be anywhere near as good as 'Escape From New York,' but after looking into it, a lot of people I've seen online have stated that it's one of Carpenter's most underrated films. I guess I'm missing what they loved so much. Weak cast (which is surprising for me, since I love Stacy Keach and Steve Buscemi) and plot, really bad effects (and this is saying something for 1996), and a lot of LA felt really forced in terms of signs and famous landmarks.
Now on to 'Spring Breakers.'
Wow...why? What was the point of this film? James Franco was a sideshow unto himself, it was full of incredibly dull, nude women (which, don't get me wrong, I can't complain about, but it's like they picked the trashiest, ugliest of girls for this), and the film contained a repetitive slop of a plot that could be summed up in less than thirty seconds to save you over 90 minutes of your time. Totally pointless and off the wall.
Ghostbusters is great! How good does it look on BD @fire_and_ice? I wouldn't mind buying it if it's worth the extra money. I completely geeked out when I bumped into the original car at Sony Studios last June, managed to take a few photos, it's so perfect with all the machinery on the inside.
I couldn't help but smile at the end of your review @0013. I have to admit it's a bit of a mixed bag, especially story wise but it was great fun. I left the cinema very satisfied, but then again anything X-men immediately transports me to some of the happiest times of my childhood/teenage years, when I was "slightly" obsessed with the animated series. I have to say, Jackman was one of the most inspired pieces of casting in Hollywood's history without a doubt.
This was much better the second time around. I didn't realize until my second viewing but this movie parallels Die Hard.
Both have...
2) The lone hero is in contact with good guys on the outside.
3) One of the contacts is telling the hero to stop and let them handle it (the white guy), while another is defending the hero and encouraging him to keep going (the black guy).
4) The hero meets a villain claiming to be a good guy but doesn't know it until minutes later.
5) A special operations team tries to enter the building from the roof but fails and dies.
6) The villains attempt to fake their death so they will not be pursued later but fail because of the hero.
7) The hero is on bad terms with someone at the beginning of the film but then is back on good terms with them by the end because the hero saves them.
Wow love to see the original Ectomobile, it looks very good they have done a good restoration. There is the odd bit of grain, though don't mind grain now and again. Picked it up for £4. Not watched the extras yet, would definitely buy it.
That song STILL to this moment, immediately comes to mind.
How I love Bill Murray and the gang in that one.
Every bit as good as the first one. 9/10. Could've done with more Jim Carrey though, he stole every scene he was in and felt a bit underused in the end.
That's how I figured the film would be: Carrey would steal every scene he was in. He looks fantastic in it, shame he regrets doing it now. I'm looking forward to getting a chance to see the movie next week.
A suprisingly entertaining movie. It's a silent film, but still pretty noisy. The actors more than compensate by carrying the story along with their superb performances, despite no voices, and of course the Oscar winning score enhances every scene,
The movie works as an epic music piece, comedy and old-time Hollywood love story.
Highly recommended. Crank up the sound as the music is as much a character as the actors.
And don't even get me started on the super cute little dog, which follows the lead everywhere he goes. Great stuff.
Uggie, the star of the film, mugging on the red carpet.
If Bane is only waiting to detonate the bomb so Batman can see how f***ed up Gotham becomes then why didn't him and Liam Neesons daughter just blow up the city when Batman came back? Not only did he spray paint his logo for the whole city to see, but Talia actually met him. She was well aware that he was back and planning to stop them so why didn't she just detonate the bomb then? What do they gain by waiting an extra day?
This is a good film but the story is full of plot holes.
I'm surprised at the bad reviews it's getting. I thought it was a very entertaining sequel with lots of cool new characters even if it had lost it's shock value. Some great action scenes too.
And yeah, I can agree on the numerous plot holes of 'The Dark Knight Rises.'
I enjoyed this.Downey is great in this film.Great actor. 10/10
I want to see it another time, and watch it as it is and not as I was expecting to be. Maybe I'll appreciate it more.
I haven't seen it since it was in theaters, but it was only a few dollars on blu-ray, so I scooped it up. It most certainly isn't as good as I recalled it being, but it's most certainly a lot gorier, but less on scares. What really got me about the original was the innocence (and wonderful casting of Jamie Lee Curtis), and the fact that Michael Myers constantly stalked her and her friends throughout. Just seeing him lurk in the background was beyond eerie. I don't care for the cast in this one too much, and the fact that they focus too heavily on Michael's early years leaves no room for better character development when Laurie and her friends come into play. They're quickly introduced, and boom, the killing's begin to happen.
It's not a terrible remake - and I would've preferred the alternate ending - that manages to shake things up a bit and leave you surprised at a few parts if you're a die-hard fan of the original and think you know what to expect, but it isn't the best of horror films.
Oh my. This felt like a rather unnecessary addition to the franchise just as I'd expected. Rachel Weisz was the highlight of the film for me and kept it from being a complete waste of time. There wasn't much in the way of originality taking place here and I hope they just stop at this point. They're not going to make another one of these are they?
Too add insult to injury I told my dad that it's just not the same without Matt Damon and he replied that that's how he felt when Roger Moore started doing the Bond movies.
A great and deep investigation and man hunting about Bin Laden's closest circle. Powerful and respected part of the world's history. I highly recommend it. The film deserves the credit given (5 oscars nominations)
8,5/10
Glad you liked that film, @WillyGalore. I must say I was rather pleased. Having read a few Dredd comics, I can honestly say that the film stays fairly close to some of those. Certain visuals work really well, like the slo-mo effects when Ma Ma splashes the water in her bath-tub. This isn't worthy of an Oscar, but it's definitely a film I can easily digest. ;-)
And at least in this film, Dredd keeps his bloody helmet on!
It deserved to make money at the box office but I guess because it looked low budget, it put people off from going to see it. Glad it's getting a better outing on DVD/Blu-Ray though :-)
To be fair Dredd was written before The Raid. It's just unfortunate that those films were released so close to eachother. I loved both.
Dredd was a great film that the character deserved while The Raid was my 2012 film of the year.
Ah didn't realise that. Dredd gets even more kudos points off me in that case :-)
