Owen Wilson and his family are caught in a violent political uprising in Asia.
For the first hour or so I was gripped. However, from then on the film loses steam and becomes silly and schmaltzy.
Even Brosnan's character ends up being a cliché.
A soundtrack to die for and more quotes than you can shack a stick at.
You don't like Jaws either. Your opinion is void ;)
If I had to rewatch one of those, I would pick Jaws.
(I've not even seen TBB. I just know its a cult film.)
Civil War is all that I hoped BvS would be. It really puts Snyder to shame. I'm even more upset now that I have seen what could have been.
I will see Civil War at least 3 to 5 times. Tonight is the second viewing :)
I second that I played my Cassette of Blues Brothers to death as a Kid, brilliant film brilliant music.
You talking of Blue Thunder reminds me its a film I need to get on BD, a friend has it looks great on that format.
For some mysterious reason this never came to my home town. It was the only best picture nominee this year I hadn't seen yet. I made a little 2-day trip last week that gave me a chance to see it. A bit too cute and pretty, and the second romance wasn't even remotely believable. Still, not bad, and more fun than I expected. Saoirse Ronan is adorable as usual.
Knight Of Cups (2015)
Said trip gave another chance to see this in theatre.
Big Eyes (2014)
This just didn't work for me. I watched it for Amy Adams, and she was the best thing in it. The happy early period of the main characters' relationship never seemed believable to me, and I thought Christoph Waltz was awful in this. (I liked him in the 2 Tarantino movies, didn't like him in Spectre, and don't think I've seen him in anything else.) Watchable and mildly interesting, but I can't say I particularly liked this movie.
I decided to watch some Cillian Murphy movies. So...
Red Eye (2005)
A pretty standard, cliched thriller.
Breakfast On Pluto (2005)
What a little gem this was. A great movie from Neil Jordan. I knew nothing about it in advance, and it kept surprising me on the way. Both comic and brutal, fun and touching. The cast is excellent in general (Liam Neeson, Ruth Negga, Brendan Gleeson, Stephen Rea, Gavin Friday, Bryan Ferry, etc.) and Cillian Murphy was brilliant, and played such a lovable, sweet, optimistic character.
The Edge Of Love (2008)
Okay, I suppose, but too little Cillian Murphy in this and too much Keira Knightley (just don't like her as an actor) - at least Sienna Miller was much better than her, though. A slightly stiff movie, not moving when it should have been, and so not that effective on the whole.
Perrier's Bounty (2009)
A charming Irish comedy & gentle and brutal crime drama. Jim Broadbent was great as Murphy's character's father, Murphy himself great in this one, too. I enjoyed this movie a lot, and it made me think I need to see more Irish movies. - Not the first time I've thought that, even recently...
Peacock (2010)
A fascinating story, and a fantastic performance from Murphy as two people inhabiting the same body. Also stars Ellen Page and Susan Sarandon.
...to be continued...
Kind of, but oh boy how you will like it !!
Imho this movie just made cinematic history on many levels!
The last 20 minutes must be the bloody greatest thing ever gracing the big screen, I'm still not sure it was all just a comic nerdgasmic wet dream...
Actually the final battle is heartbreaking and a real final battle with real consequences. I find that the last three Cap America have been better scripted than the last three 007 outings. And all had more heart and were more personal without offering some poorly scripted attempt.
This movie is history in the making. The zenith of the comic book movie genre!
Its a very British film though the themes translate well, think the film is superb.
@Creasy47 Finished my Hobbit extended edition marathon, TBoFA is a improvement, there are some quite insane scenes added. I find if you can put physics and logic to one side these films are enjoyable, the fact they are fantasy helps. No where near the level of LoTR though glad I bought the extended box set.
A decent enough horror film ( although not a patch on the John Carpenter movie) about the
events that happened at the Norwegian camp, before the Carpenter film. Sadly it's not as
claustrophobic as the first film ( I'm not counting the original The Thing from another world )
and the special effects are CGI, in my opinion not as good as the make up effects of the first
Film, but worth a look.
...and then some, the ice chase was pretty mad. Radagast appears in another equally bonkers scene. The film seemed to have more weight, and the sickness of Thorin was explored more from what I can remember of the theatrical version.
@fire_and_ice, that sounds delightful. Happy to hear that an extended running time actually helps the film, because I was very disappointed in it when I saw it opening night in theaters.
events happening on screen, and some how there didn't seem to be as much
Imagination in the "changes" from human to creature.
