Never got into Beyond, but this was pretty decent film.
It's a really good film. Fairly high on my list of favorite Batman movies - #7 or #8.
I find that film so empty and soulless. Not like a zombie but like a Zack Snyder movie.
A really really enjoyable film. Don't know why was this film critically panned and isn't appreciated by the general viewers. It's a great action comedy at the very least.
I bought Knight and Day on HD last year a fun film, harks back to the good old fashioned spy capers with good action.
I was going to wait until it came out to rent but after hearing who shows up at the end I had to see this. Split shows that M. Night Shyamalan can still make a good movie. I rank it up there with his good ones.
Of the M. Night Syamalan movies I've seen...
Unbreakable
Split
Signs
The Sixth Sense
The Visit
The Village
The Lady in the Water
The Happening
As far as Steve McQueen is concerned, this movie is often overlooked compared to Bullit, Mag 7, Great Escape etc but he really is very good in it.
I want to see this, but right now A Cure For Wellness wins out. Maybe next weekend.
Indeed, a really good movie. And a funny fact : did you know that the woman who plays Maily is one other that Emmanuelle Arsan, the writer of Emmanuelle ? AFAIK, it was her only big movie.
Odd that I can't seem to find this online anywhere besides Facebook, but there's a gofundme.
Yeah this was pretty good. Typically crazy plot just like the show and some nice homages to other Batman films.
Brought back good memories of watching the 60's show as a kid.
The voice work was all excellent except Julie Newmar. The trouble is she's in her 80's and she sounds old..!
I thought that with PRISONERS, SICARIO and ARRIVAL I had seen pretty much the very best of Villeneuve so far, but ENEMY is another great film of his. Gyllenhaal is absolutely fantastic in this one, but then again, when is he not? Seriously, what a fine actor!
He plays two men who are almost identical to each other, except that their lives couldn't be more different. One day, they meet and things will never be the same again. Villeneuve and Gyllenhaal tell a story which doesn't however give us clarity on the subject. Like David Lynch, they see the story as a vehicle for deep and daring contemplation which mustn't necessarily lead to one conclusive answer.
Overall, magnificent film, and one that not enough people have seen.
I hear A Cure For Wellness wasn't that great, and I honestly didn't think it looked good to begin with, but to each their own. I will say that Split was good and is worth checking out.
That is a piece of knowledge I never had, curious but nice, I once saw quite a few of those movies.
The movie got 8 oscar nominations and won none even if Dicky Attenborough did win a globe as Best Supporting Actor. And that was well deserved.
Colombiana [2011] - The mechanic in female version only a wee bit more a revenge story with the Besson-Kamen collaboration as writers. Fun and slightly OTT. Zoey Saldana however makes her character look really sexy and dangerous. A wicked bathroom fight.
The Dark knight [2008] - The one decent complete Batman movie from the Nolan trilogy that feels like an original and well written story, Ledger is fairly good in his version of the Joker and Bale is actually doing a decent Batman with him overacting in the movie before and after. This middle episode does not suffer from Nolans need to start a story and ending it. So he actually did make a Batman movie instead of being epic. And it shows in the movie which is most coherent of the three. And it looks really good on BD, and these movies are doing 2-3 euro secondhand so not a bad way to spend some money.
I don't think I've witnessed a film as single-handedly badass as what I just saw. Amazing stuff.
Bloody hell. I was shaking my head the entire time at how badass this film is and how I could never be an assassin. There were quite a few tensions filled scenes that would and should make EoN feel embarrassed with what they've churned out for far too long.
Anyway, this world of assassins and whatnot....How do these muthaf****** sleep at night when it's so easy to make a call to accounts payable? The action was just bananas! One of my favorite scenes was Keanu and Common walking through a crowded station; Keanu on the upper level and common on the ground floor, casually shooting at each other, unbeknown to all the people around them with silenced pistols as if each of them were secretly trying to take phone camera shots of each other. Damn. And then the body count...wow...there are bodies. I need to see this again.
David Lynch isn't my guy. Though I'm a huge fan of ERASERHEAD and have nothing but respect for THE ELEPHANT MAN, I get more and more irritated by the pretentiousness of Lynch's later work. I don't mind dissecting a movie and looking for hidden whatevers, but when only a handful of scenes make sense and the director can't even produce some explanation for what we're seeing, I zone out.
BLUE VELVET, however, is one of Lynch's greats in my opinion. With Hopper's maniacal performance as Frank Booth drawing all attention to itself, I also want to especially compliment Maclachlan, Rossellini and Dern. An intriguing, well-made film, one of Lynch's best.
MY SOUL TO TAKE
I've always liked Wes Craven, the man behind the camera, much more than his films. Don't get me wrong, he's got a few winners with his name on. THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, SCREAM and of course A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET are classics in their own right. I might even shout it out for RED EYE and when I'm feeling really generous, I'll throw THE HILLS HAVE EYES in the mix too. I appreciate the Scream sequels and I'm even a fan of WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE.
But Craven made other stuff too and most of that just doesn't do it for me. THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, DEADLY FRIEND, SHOCKER, THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2, CURSED, SWAMP THING, ... oh boy! I've read a book dedicated to Craven's films and watched more than enough interviews with him to know that studio interference and Craven's own doubts about whether he wanted to be "the master of horror" have a lot to do with the average quality of most of his films. Still, he never did strike me as the "master of horror", no matter how deep my love for Freddy Krueger runs.
But I guess I have to at least give all of the late Wes Craven's films a chance and so MY SOUL TO TAKE, his second last directing job - SCREAM 4 was his last - was on today's menu. OK, introduce a few teens, all born on the same day, and a Bagul kind of phantom called "The Ripper". You know, basically a stand-in for Freddy. He's come to collect souls too, or something. Doesn't matter. There's the bully, the kid with the awkward past, the psycho siblings, the token black guy and more stereotypes. A school, a house and the woods is all we need to slash up teens whose primary mistake is that they are horny, bullying, black or spineless. Yeah, it's a big bag of slasher clichés with a most unoriginal, uninspired ending. Plus, this thing drags... A 107 minute cut is far too long for a simple slasher flick that regurgitates predictable "twists" and "jump scares" from the 80s. They should have cut 20 minutes out of this at the very least, so that things would run fast enough for our brain not to worry about such things.
Beltrami's score is serviceable and some scenes are satisfying. But the thrills aren't here, the acting is a bit on the dull side and the scares fail to work. I'm glad Wes got to do SCREAM 4 before his earthly retirement.
Blue Velvet is one of my favourite films. Such a foreboding atmosphere and an incredible soundtrack.
Don't think he's ever topped it.
Where to I begin.... for starters my wife thinks Jamie Dorian could be the next 007... outside of that the film was ok... not the worst not the best just ok

It was a blast from start to finish. The ending though...there has to be a third.
Stop hiding behind your wife. We all know it's you who thinks Dornan could be 007.
