I am officially jealous of you. That must have been a great experience. The movie is excellent though.
Yes, i know its an old film, but i don't think i have any watched it all the way through before.
Like the bit where Frankenstein (G.Wilder), tells Igor (M.Feldman), to go to the lab and get a selected good brain for the creature, but accidently damages it, then substitutes it with another brain from another jar, though the name on the jar says ABNORMAL. :))
I just got that film in the mail. It's so simple but so good; one of the best directorial debuts ever.
One of my all time favorite movies. 3.5 hours of pure entertainment alongside a bunch of colourful characters. Special mention to Toshiro Mifune, who gives one of the most badass performances caught on film. Stunning film really, not one minute wasted, and the final battle, which lasts almost an hour, is thrilling.
Anyway, back to 'Gold'. I've always felt that Sir Rog came closer to playing Bond when he portrayed the tough, ruthless (yet romantic) Rod Slater in this film than he ever did in any of his actual 007 outings. His co-star Susannah York gave, in my opinion, the finest performance of her career and they were superbly supported by Bradford Dillman, Ray Milland, John Gielgud and OHMSS alumni Bernard Horsfall. There's plenty of familiar names behind the cameras too including John Glen, Syd Cain and Don Black. It's brilliantly directed by Peter Hunt and features a truly breathtaking score by the legendary Elmer Bernstein.
I'm honestly yearning to watch it again already!
You started with 2 of the best. Spirited away is my #1 and Monoroke is perhaps my #2 anime.
Still never gets old for me. I still laugh my ass off through the whole thing.
Wouldn't be surprising; I was floored by both, particularly Spirited Away - one of my favorite movies ever now. I'll be binge-watching some of his films here with my free time and see his other works.
Goodnight Mommy
Wow, it's been quite a while since I've been as disappointed in a movie as this one...
The trailer looked very promising and very creepy- and several reviews boasted 'it'll give you nightmares for weeks'.
I've never been so bored in my life- it was almost as if the movie forgot what it was trying to do. It started out a little creepy (the moms bandaged face was unsettling) but it quickly became obvious that it was NOT the movie the trailer made it out to be (horror). I hate when trailers do that!!
Don't bother wasting your time with this one- it sucks It's so odd that I've never really been able to get into Princess Mononoke, yet Spirited Away is one of my favorites ever. I'm such a weirdo, lol
Nordwand 2008) - a German climbing movie about the Northface of the Eiger, set in 1936 about various groups climbing the Northface of that unconquered mountainface. A very gripping movie that leaves you on the edge of your seat for the last 30 minutes. A brilliant and must-see movie.
I finally got around to watching this (shameful for someone who claims to be a Mitchum fan, I know). For such a gripping film, the ending was a let down. I was expecting Rachel to receive news that some police officers had been found murdered, and Powell would make his way back to the house for one last attempt on John and Pearl's lives. He wouldn't have the money, but by that point he's unspooled, so it wouldn't matter.
What i learnt from these films.
1/ Don't go back packing.
2/ Don't go to a hostel in East Europe or the USA.
Hostel was great! Hostel 2 a bit on the less terrifying side. Hostel 3 was an abomination. Eli Roth needs to return to the series.
Hostel 1 & 2 are the best. I think the people of Slovakia though were taken aback by the films, as the films suggested you would meet a horrific end to your life if you ever traveled there.
Hostel 3, i didn't mind it too much, but it was a different take on the franchise, and having the setting in Las Vegas?, felt a bit unusual to say the least.
@-)
I didn't know until recently that the film 'Hostel' was produced by Quentin Tarantino.
Weak story, weak characters and i really don't care for all that gore.
Still, MI:2 is my favourite because Hunt is sent to FIX a problem, not hunted whilst trying to clear his name!! Plus, John Woo & Zimmer.
Bloody hell, Connery was on top form in this. This man was the definition of manly charm and excessive sex appeal. Turned out to be a complete bastard though. His uncle though, one of the most vile characters committed in cinema.
Beautiful movie, visually stunning and I loved that I did not have a clue what Scott is up to. Looking really forward to the next Alien movie.
Yes, I watched this for the first time about a month ago after seeing it mentioned on the boards. It is a great film and Connery is at the top of his game. The director, and Connery, do a beautiful job of using his immense charm and appeal to make him a real bastard.
