MEN IN BLACK 3[/b
]At home:
Dusted off my old VHS of PREDATOR and watched it. I always loved that movie and IMO it is Arnold's best film.
Predator is great, and the sequel they did in 1990 was terrible, they should of stayed with the jungle environment, having the Predator in an urban setting just didn't work for me, and with all due respect to Danny Glover, he was the wrong choice also, but I guess Schwarzenegger was busy with other work that year such as Total Recall etc, the original was best and will always be. Check out Commando too if you've never seen it, it is a Schwarzenegger classic
The first one will always be my favorite. The second is good, but Alan Rickman is such an excellent villain, and there are a couple of Bond villains in the first one: Necros from TLD and Franz Sanchez from LTK.
in one word : awesome !! \:D/
10/10
Watched MI:GP today (best of the series by far, would love a Bond movie similar to that). I thought I recognised him!
@Volante, he did look strikingly familiar, and it seemed like there was a nod to him, the way Hunt stares at him.
I really enjoyed Bad Lieutenant. Cage is very crazy in the role - not a surprise - but he embraces it and plays it well as a dirty cop.
What character did he play? Wistrom?
I have seen it too. His character is nuts, but it works for him. Those seem to be his greatest roles.
Really? Ok, I have seen him.
Was he one of Koskov's boys? One of the enemies coming to the MI6 country house, or one of the guys in Afghanistan in the huge plane scene? Any of those at all?
Very good political movie about the 2008 US Presidential Campaing, with great performances by Julianne Moore and Ed Harris. It focuses on Palin, the Republican strategy and the new competition dynamics that Obama lauched.
If you like to study politics as I do, you will enjoy, otherwise, I don't know.
It was alright but um I think I need to watch it again to really clarify what type of film it is. However, it's not as epic or as ground breaking as expected.
Upon second viewing, you might get more into the film. I know I absolutely loved it the second time. ;-)
Fertile Ground (2011)
I knew nothing about this film, other than it being a horror film. After suffering a miscarriage, married couple Nate and Emily Weaver move into a secluded house Nate has just inherited. When a human skulll is found under the house, a series of events is triggerd that doesn't end well.
More than anything about the film, I was impressed with the performance of Leisha Hailey whom carries the film from start to finish. I'd like to see more of her, a Ti West film prehaps? I spent a good portion of the film trying to think where i'd seen her before, then it hit me, it's not where i'd seen her, but the uncanny resemblance she has to a young Genevieve Bujold.
It may not be likely to go down as a favourite on many horror fans lists, but still worth a watch.
And...
The Artist (2011)
This was a good film, but I did have one gripe. I didn't see this film because of the hype, but because I knew that Penelope Ann Miller was in it, so I did feel a bit let down to find that she really didn't have much screentime. Also, that little Jack Russell, Uggie, was wonderfull, he stole every scene he was in.

Marilyn lights up the screen, and I have a smile on my face every single time I see her, no matter what she is doing in the scene. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a great comedy, with Marilyn showing off just how great her singing and dancing is, and Jane Russell as a brilliant on-screen partner in crime to her. Some Like It Hot is an absolute comedy classic, and everyone is on their top game. The film is one of the most hilarious films I have seen, and it is amazing how dark some of the events surrounding the comedy is, but the film pulls it all off without a hitch. How To Marry A Millionaire was the stinker of the pack, and I just felt underwhelmed by it. That may be because a good portion of the former films I watched involved women chasing men for their money, and at this point it went sour, who knows. Lauren Bacall is great, and is really the lead in this one, with Marilyn sadly being demoted to much smaller on-screen appearance. I don't enjoy it like the others simply because Marilyn is once again put in the place of a dumb blonde, which I never enjoy seeing, because I know just how brilliant she was behind all of her dumb-blonde roles. Niagara is very impressive, and one of my favorite Marilyn pictures due to the simple fact that she plays a much darker role than she was accustomed to. The first shots of her barely covered up in bed, lips ruby red, just shows how incredibly beautiful she was, and a great noir tone flows throughout the film that has many surprises. The only major fault isn't even with any of the actors. It's the music. This film seems like a Hitchcock tribute, with really suspenseful shots, but when tensions are highest, there is no music playing to really build tension in the scene. The rarity in this film is that
Now on to Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, which I thought about putting in, shrugged my shoulders, said "well, I already watched a bunch of films today", so I popped it in. I still love it, but I see more and more faults when I put it in. Some things don't add up in the film, and I scratch my head wondering why the character did this or that, or why an event had to happen. I will learn more about it as time goes on and I get numerous more re-watches in, but the real Achille's heel of this one is the villain, who had potential. If there would have been better explanation and presentation of his plot and some more background accompanied with some scenes demonstrating his evil disposition and I'd be sold, but there is simply too little here to satisfy me regarding Hendricks.
5 films, 24 hours, fun times.
And I watched Cage's 'Bad Lieutenant' tonight.... very good film ! Cage was epic !!
Nic can pull off any role where he is an absolute crazy maniac, and those are his best performances. Coincidence? I think not! Case in point:
