Thanks for the information, have not read them.
Yep, my son is a teenager now and I have still not let him see it. Not a movie for children, the second is possibly even worse FYI. What is the age limit in your country? Here it is 15.
I adore that film; such a great adaption of the Final Problem Holmes tale. Harris is a grand Moriarty, the best one I have seen on the big screen thus far.
A lot of my friends are back in town on college break, so we all went out to see Frozen. We had the whole theater to ourselves, and it was a blast. I didn't really know what to expect when seeing this film as I paid no attention to it beyond the random ad on TV, but it was a clever, cute and heartfelt film that will give you many a chuckle and turn of a smile. This'll be a big hit with the kids, and will likely get Oscar nods. It's nice to see that Disney still has some of that old magic.
I'm speechless.
How this film didn't get a standing ovation in the theater tonight is beyond me. I'm really too stunned by how brilliant, how magnificent a film this is that I can't quite write a full review.
This is easily the best film of the decade thus far; Chiwetel Ejiofor gives a career defining performance; Fassbender, Cumberbatch, the rest of the cast and, even in just 60 or so seconds of screen time, Michael K. Williams give brilliant performances the whole way through; the film is more accurate and efficient at capturing the horrors of slavery than Schnindler's List was of the Holocaust; it's just... brilliant. One of the greatest films ever made. This deserves to win any and all Oscars it may be nominated for.
The Young Master (1980)
Another great performance by Jackie chan. Amazing martial arts skills.
Have you seen this film ?
Kick-Ass is a great comic book adaptation, but indeed only for adults. The mere fact that it begins with an obvious masturbation scene, says enough.
Hitgirl, however, is not an issue to me. She's so over the top, when she goes down on those junkies like a ruthless killer, it's simply one of those "anything goes" moments. Then again, perhaps not exactly suitable for children. Chloë Moretz may, at that time, have been about 10 years old, that doesn't mean her target audience is. ;-)
Sorry,but that will be a great story when they grow up. Watch out for the police.
I can't get over that amazing cliffhanger.
Tell me about it! Don't wanna say too much as I am sure their are people on here who have not seen it yet? But me, my girlfriend and her brother were like? Nooo don't stop there?
:))
I thought that:
Certainly is! Now we have to wait! Been careful of the thread as to avoid spoilers as I have not read the book also.
Utterly ridiculous but still a lot of fun and better than many of the official Bond films. It's fairly easy to see though where GE got a lot of its inspiration from.
8/10
Not the big screen, but I really liked Andrew Scott in the TV series. An insane Irish bastard with tons of shady criminal connections who, in a weird way, loves Sherlock, because he's the only one who can challenge him.
He was brilliant, shame he's not in it anymore.
Andrew was brilliant, you're right, and he really earned that BAFTA. I love how the show didn't do a direct adaption of the character from the stories and created a more psychotic and unhinged Napoleon of Crime than we are accustomed to seeing. Watching Benedict and Andrew play off each other in every scene they shared together was acting at its finest.
Another Arnie flick to help take me away from the Christmas rush. The effects are a bit dated and most of the characters are fairly cardboard, but the jungle provides a good backdrop for suspense and McTiernan manages to keep the tension going. However I preferred True Lies this time round.
7/10
True lies definitely for Curtis' bedroom dance alone. Damn, she had an incredible body!
Agreed. Lies has more wit and humour to it.
...and Curtis does look incredible, she also gives the best performance in the film.
Classic movie but, given how pretty she was, there is NO way Mary would have ended up an old maid had she not met George.
9/10 (the kids at the beginning are a little too sickly for my taste)
While I liked this film the first time I saw it, I adored it this time. Everything about it, from the script to the photography, acting, use of music, set design and more is top notch and Quentin is in full directorial form. Schultz may be my favorite Tarantino character yet because not only is he amusing and badass, it is fascinating to see a German collide with the unsavory ideals of the United States, principally the slave running south. His constant hatred for the act of slavery and abhorrence for men like Candie is striking, and the compassion he feels for Django and his cause palpable.
In what is a criminally unrecognized performance, Leo chews the scenery like an obese man in a hot dog eating contest, giving what is one of the greatest performances I have seen in a long time. He challenged all the perceptions of himself as an actor, going far and wide away from his comfort zone, and came out on the other end with a fantastic showcase of his talents. Hell, I couldn't pick one actor here that phoned it in if I tried. Everyone, from the lead cast to the extras feel natural, and the film looks exactly like a time capsule from the mid 1800s in its mastery of recreating the period during which it is set. The film balances the comedic and the morbid perfectly, all the pacing issues I had with the film on the first watch I now don't mind in the slightest and the action is biting and thrilling.
While many bigoted idiots will refer to Tarantino as a heathen and racist who disrespects blacks and white southerners, he isn't any of those things, and perfectly showed just how horrid and contemptible that piece of our American history was, violence and language in all. Like the great filmmaker he is, he dedicated himself to the story he wanted to tell and didn't sell out like other westerns would that'd scramble to depict the whites as redeemable people and not the monsters some were. Quentin showed the best and worst in all the races here, muddied the moral lines and created characters as fascinating and complexly compelling as imaginable.
As for the claims that Tarantino is a racist, I don't know how you can call a man that when his entire film is based on the premise of a man fighting back against his cruel white captors in an effort to get his revenge and save his beloved. In his feelings towards blacks Quentin seems to be about as racist as Dr. Schultz himself, meaning he doesn't have a racist bone in his body. This picture is quite a piece of filmmaking, uncompromising and artful in every aspect of its creation. Having re-watched it I am now more excited than ever to see Tarantino's next western film.
My thoughts exactly. He's been shafted too many times when it comes to the Oscars, I was really surprised that he wasn't even nominated for one at that time.
Yes, it's quite a flick. I liked it at first quite fine, but this time I immersed myself even more in it and since I knew what was coming already, I got to know the characters and the world Tarantino crafted more, increasing my enjoyment tenfold.
I agree. The man was electric in a role that was so new and off type for him, and was spectacular in it. It's amazing just how much he gets shafted when it comes to awards; the academy doesn't like him for some reason, which makes no sense as he comes off as a great man and actor. My friend was even telling me that when
