Left the theatre just a few minutes ago. Literally walking as I'm writing this. More to come soon. Just wanted to say: I'M SUPERJAZZED! First half dragged a bit in my opinion but once the action kicked in... WOW! Seriously, I'm one of those people who like STAR WARS mainly for the dog fights so uh... BEST SPACE BATTLES EVER!!!
Seriously!
Oh and there's a moment near the end of the film where something happens that made me geek out like you wouldn't believe... It's
I'm very - very pleased! :D
Film Noir staring Victor Mature & Betty Grable. Grable might not sing and/or dance in this, but she still had an alluring screen presence.
It's my favorite, as well, fantastic movie.
It is excellent. Highly entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable.
Continuing to watch every Scorsese film, I watched Boxcar Bertha (1972), his second movie. It's definitely one of his weakest films, but it did have a heck of an ending. Overall though, it felt like a big step down from his first movie Who's That Knocking at My Door (1968), a movie I found to be very good.
Nice to see Pierce in top form again, he brings great charisma to this film. Olga does pretty well too.
Too bad about some loose ends in the screenplay. In the end an ok spy film, but nothing exceptional.
What a great film this is.
Not perfect but the finale.... holy crap! may be one of the best in the series!!!
The last third of the film is better then anything since the original trilogy!!
The most horrifying picture I have ever seen! You will never forget seeing this movie!
I have the 40th anniversary bluray and I love it!
I often ask myself, which horror franchise had the WORST sequels, and unfortunately TCM is right up there with Halloween (and probably NOES, but I haven't seen them all)
TCM2 has a certain charm, but 3 & especially 4 are forgettable. The remakes actually fare pretty well, and then you've got the newest 'Texas Chainsaw', the 3D one. That caught my attention by being a direct sequel to the first, but that is the one good thing about it. Unless you count the beautiful Alexandra Daddario, that is.
I sure wish they didn't radically change the tone with part 2. Just imagine if it was a true sequel to the original, maybe better sequels could have stemmed from it. Oh well.
TCM is a horror classic. I mentioned recently about Prime Cut having a sweaty grubby-ness to it, this film also has it.
As for which horror film series has the worst sequels, it has to be Hellraiser. A few horror franchises have managed to notch up a number of theatrically released sequels (only to fall curse to the reboot craze) while others eventually fall into DTV releases. But Hellraiser is the only horror films series, that started theatrically with it's first 4 films, then fell into DTV with it's next 4 films, and then to fall further into aschan with it's 9th film. Whether the 10th film, Hellraiser: Judgement, can turn the series around remains to be seen.
I watched Star Wars from Rogue One through episodes 4, 5 , 6 and finishing with The Force Awakens.
I have to say that with Disney Star Wars is in the right hands. Both Rogue One and TFA I feel were closer to the authentic feel of the original trilogy, than we would be with Lucas in charge. Both new movies feel like they came from the same mold as the original films unlike the prequel trilogy that felt too cartoonish and childish, riddled with bad acting and bad dialogue.
Still, next up; The Phantom Menace.
Yeppee!
Disney scored a hit with this one
Christopher Reeve double feature tonight. I actually watched the 2nd one first, then felt compelled to watch the first.
Chris, IMO truly embodied the comic Superman from my generation brought to life.
Watching the sequel to Rogue One
Should that be Episode III 1/2
;)
Let's just call Rogue One "the prequel to Star Wars". How about making this Episode III? We can forget things after all. ;-)
This was my first watch of this film since I saw it twice in the theatre upon release last year. It was my 2nd favourite film of 2015 (behind MI-Rogue Nation). A glorious & emotional spectacle that brought back all that was best about the Star Wars series which had, sadly, been lost with Lucas's decidedly inferior (imho) prequels. Upon viewing it tonight I realize what this film has that I enjoy so much. In a few words: heart and soul. In a way, I am reminded of 1995's GE. Like that classic Bond entry, TFA just hits all the key buttons beautifully. It's a tad derivative and nostalgic for sure, like GE, but I similarly care about all the characters, find the performances top notch, love the score and am immersed in the proceedings throughout. I noticed tonight that the special effects (particularly during key battle scenes) are a bit weak in comparison to the recent Rogue One, but on every other measure I far prefer the earlier film, and really look forward with keen anticipation to the next entry in 2017.
