All too often have I read negative comments regarding this film. Having watched SPECTRE close to nine times now, I must confess I continue to like it more and more, and I already loved the film the very first time I had the pleasure. Perhaps I'm part of a minority but this film actually tops SKYFALL for me. The Spectre / Blofeld angle works perfectly well for me; Léa Sédoux is a marvellous Bond girl; Waltz proves a competent adversary for Craig; the Nine Eyes sub plot is very topical in today's politics - and I even like what Newman did with the music, very much in fact. SPECTRE is slowly eating its way toward my top 8 or top 7 ranking of the Bond films. It's certainly my second favourite of the Craig films, only a whisper away from my absolute number 1: CASINO ROYALE.
Agreed on all counts. It's reassuring to know that there are still some on these boards who enjoy SPECTRE as much as I do.
cross between The silence of the lambs and First Blood. ;)
Me as well..
Last movie I saw Now You See Me 2
I loved the first one. I was a little underwhelmed leaving the sequel last night. It wasn't a bad film by any means, but it lacked alot of what made the first one so great for me. It was very dark. It was basically a revenge plot based on the firsts events.
I love breaking from the norm to watch a bottom of the barrel type of movie and to my surprise this movie while obviously being cheaply made was a surprisingly entertaining gem.
There's not a whole lot to say about it. An escaped convict and reporter team up to deliver the sword that stabbed Jesus to a mysterious organization called The Order. Then to top it off you have random girl gun gang shootouts, random flashbacks that sometimes don't make sense, every single person in the movie knowing kung fu. An asian gang wanting the sword for world power? sepia tone zoom in scene transitions decent fight choreography and random instances where people have superpowers that appear in the style of a little popup that says something random like the POW! effects in the 60's Batman series. It's a movie that gets progressively better. It was a weird little movie and fun to watch with friend looking for a good laugh.
Yes it was; fixed. I have no idea why I put 2004.
Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby (2006)
A hilarious Adam McKay comedy. (To me his funniest.)
Watched some Pierce Brosnan movies... the first of these I hadn't seen before, the other two I had:
Love Is All You Need (2012)
A Danish movie, directed by Susanne Bier. For some reason it has been called "a romantic comedy" in some places, but I have no idea why. How the hell is this a comedy? The title is somewhat silly, and makes the movie sound silly, too. It's actually more serious and less fluff than the tittle suggests. Not great, but not bad, either. Knowing that Brosnan lost his first wife to cancer I found it a bit hard watching his early stages of romance here with a woman who had just been through chemotherapy.
The Ghost Writer (2010)
An excellent political thriller, even better than I remembered (or I liked it even more this time around). Based on a Richard Harris book, directed by Polanski.
The Tailor Of Panama (2001)
A pretty good spy thriller based on a John Le Carré book. My favourite performance here was the small, but heartbreaking little role by Brendan Gleeson.
Dan In Real Life (2007)
A family drama film with Steve Carell, Juliette Binoche, Dianne Wiest... and Emily Blunt in a tiny role. Somewhat irritating (as these American family dramas tend to be), and with some very predictable drama, and with a predictable ending. Some pretty good performances though, and the movie was okay.
What are the other 2 in that Top 3 of yours btw? Not The Ghost Writer? I think Brosnan was really good in that. I liked him more in that than in The Tailor. Is The Matador included? (Would be in mine.)
Yesterday watched Sweeney Todd. Usually not very much into musicals, but this mix with the macabre strangely enough worked pretty well for me. The atmosphere created by Burton and Ferretti is out of this world and Helena Bonham Carter is devilishly enjoyable.
The Omega Man - I had not seen this one in over 25 years and it still feels closer to the source material than Will Smiths "I am legend", a tour the force by Heston, looks sharp and crispy on BD, that said I last saw it on an ancient colour television.
Jupiter Ascending - A nice popcornish scifi opera movie with a Mila Kunis, who is never a bad face and body to look at, nice and over the top. Does his business very well, had an ancient Falsh Gordonish feel at times.
Agreed.
No wonder it made more $$ than Batman Vs. Superman.
It's a hoot! Some scenes you laugh and think this is just daft, great fun when Deadpool says 'have you seen him' and shows a crayon drawing I was in hysterics from then on. It does have echoes of Darkman, I like the fact most charactor reactions in the film seem real.
Manglehorn (2014)
The poster got me... I've always liked Al Pacino, and I love cats, so... A melancholy, yet somewhat optimistic story of a lonely key maker who lives with his cat, doesn't get along with his successful adult son, mourns old love, and might find a new relationship if he gave it a chance. I liked it.
The Illusionist (2006)
Edward Norton as a magician in the end of the 19th century Vienna. Not impressed.
Proof (2005)
Gwyneth Paltrow, Anthony Hopkins, Jake Gyllenhaal, Hope Davis. A pretty good drama.
A Serious Man (2009)
A Coen Brothers movie - one I didn't much care for, unfortunately. Not bad, but I found it boring.
A Single Man (2009)
Wow. This was wonderful. Colin Firth in the lead role is fantastic, and I really liked Julianne Moore and Nicholas Hoult here, too. Beautifully directed and acted, beautiful score, visually beautiful and stylish, and has substance and heart. This was Tom Ford's directorial debut, and now I'm really looking forward to his second movie Nocturnal Animals (already was anyway due to cast, but...)
This film was released 13 years ago, and it took me until there was 1 day left before the release of its sequel, 'Finding Dory', to discover it. I am seeing the new one tomorrow afternoon, which is why today was my last chance to see the original film. Fantastic film, up there with my favorite animation films with 'Toy Story 3', 'How to Train your Dragon' and 'Ratatouille'. Great cast, from Albert Brooks and Willem Dafoe to all the other voice actors. Superb soundtrack from Thomas Newman (but keep him away from Bond 25), and a lot of emotional or humorous moments. I am excited for the 'Finding Dory' now!
