Heavily recommended.
A random selection on Netflix last night because I was intrigued by the premise. Wow, what a film. Highly recommended if one is in the mood for a fresh, post-apocalyptic movie.
4.5 out of 5.
1. Hellbound
2. Hellraiser
3. Hell on Earth
4. Bloodline
5. Inferno
Review for 'Hellseeker' due later tonight, I'll post it in the Horror thread after my viewing.
I have now started the 'Children of the Corn' series. I've just watched the first outing. Pretty good film, I really liked the atmosphere. I must say the kid actors played better than the main 2 adults (even Linda Hamilton), who were both quite wooden. The final confrontation was over a bit too quickly, but the film was fun up until then, so I can forgive that.
I'll continue tonight with 'Final Sacrifice' and 'Urban Harvest'.
Prepare to go through one big hell there, sir. COTC... Yeah, I think I maybe like three of them.
number 3
the remake
the original
The rest is... O dear.
To paraphrase John Hammond, I'm sparing no expense to get this!
@DarthDimi I went through hell during 'Hellraiser: Revelations', which managed to make me think 'Batman & Robin' was not all that bad. ;) So I am prepared for more hell. :D
You know I sat in my office in Glasgow and watched Halle Berry and Tom Hanks film scenes for this movie. They doubled up Hill Street as San Fransisco.
For the seventies scenes? Did not occur to me watching the film it was not San Francisco, liked the filters they used for those scenes.
So I will post on Saturday night my thoughts.
I caught this on TV last night. An entertaining disaster flick, with practical special effects. Pierce Brosnan is so likeable in this film, hes really emphatic too boot, plus I liked him with Linda Hamilton as well. I've always enjoyed this film, and I haven't seen it for quite some time.
Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, William Holden, Faye Dunaway, Richard Chaimberlain and many more star in this epic disaster movie about a building on fire. While it's rather difficult to believe that such a modern skyscraper lacks the required safety systems - to be honest, they address this issue in the film - what happens next is perfectly plausible. If you didn't already, Towering Inferno will make you respect fire.
Great film!
I saw it when it came out and disliked it then, haven't seen it since. Didn't even Remember Christopher Lee was in it.
Yes, it was pretty good and Dench was excellent.

Oblivion - ok.
Transcendence - I like both Johnny Depp and Rebecca Hall, but actually mostly watched this for Wally Pfister - his directorial debut. Not great, but not bad, either, and with many interesting themes.
The Water Diviner - well, a movie starring Russell Crowe is automatically on my to-see-list. His directorial debut as well, so interesting in that respect, too. And it was the cinematographer Andrew Lesnie's final film, he died last month - beautiful work once again. A lot to like here for me - story, acting (not just Crowe himself, but most of cast) and the general look of it.
So many big names in this film! Really great to see Newman and McQueen on screen together.
Classic, I vividly remember buying this on video cassette. After loving Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Great Escape and Bullitt, it was a big deal for me back in the day to buy this film with two great stars like McQueen and Newman starring together.
The one thing I loved about that film, apart from Christopher Lee, was the weird architecture at the beginning.The askew houses. Very funny.
It's not bad and to be fair I watched the film just a few hours after a deep cut to my finger so I am taking that into consideration. I enjoyed a few of the moments Renner is in my opinion brilliant why can't this guy get his own franchise

Moral of the story? Don't mess with Charlie's melons.
The first film of my MCU revisiting marathon.
I hadn't seen this film through in years, and was very curious to give it a watch after Age of Ultron disappointed me so. Before the Marvel 'takeover,' and before the Marvel movies started to become indistinguishable there was the first Iron Man: a sharp, tense, funny, surprisingly heartfelt superhero film that - if I remember correctly - is still the MCU's best film. I was surprised to see that the action was actually somewhat minimal and more time was spent with Tony figuring out who he was in relation to his weapon's business. Downey Jr. is sensational, and the rest of the cast (Bridges, Paltrow, even Howard) also excel. Dialog between characters is so sharp and natural, and Faverau's direction is more than solid. I had a great time watching this.
If there is one moderate issue with this film, it is the climax. The fight between Stark and Stane is underwhelming, and Pepper standing outside constantly saying "Tony, are you okay," grates a bit. It's not cringeworthy per se, but it dilutes and otherwise great film.
8.5/10 from me. One of the better superhero movies out there.
