Wasn't as hilarious as I had hoped from the trailers, but I quite enjoyed it. I want to say it was Bateman's directorial debut.
Though i have it on bluray, it was on tv tonight so i couldnt resist.
Great thriller. McQueen is so cool in it and the car chase is still thrilling ( even though when i watch it now i am watching out for the green volkswagen!!) Cool score from the legendary Lalo Schifrin!
LIFEBOAT (1944) / Hitchcock
What in lesser hands would've amounted to a filmed stage play becomes in Hitch's hands a piece of real cinema. Is this one under-rated in the Hitch oeuvre? I'd definitely put it in the top tier of his 40s output, at least, along with SHADOW OF A DOUBT and NOTORIOUS. (Also: especially enjoyed Hitch's cameo in this one.)
DAVID LYNCH: THE ART LIFE (2016) / Jon Nguyen
@Thunderfinger posted the trailer for this one in the upcoming films thread a week or so ago, and I looked into it, and saw it was available via Amazon Prime. Not exactly what I was hoping for (it only covers his life up to the production of Eraserhead) but I'll be the first to admit I don't always know what I want; luckily I often don't get it. Here, that's all to the better, since an early biography of Lynch seems less interesting than one of his film career. But Lynch's early life story turns out to be definitely captivating. I enjoyed seeing the art he's done outside film and hearing him talk about how he became an artist. You really get a sense of the man. If you're a fan of his work, this comes recommended.
BRAZIL (1985) / Terry Gilliam
The final cut version, of course. I've almost certainly seen this before, but (as seems to be the case with several other Gilliams I've seen in the distant past) I didn't remember much about it. In any case, I adored it. The satire was the best part of the whole project...
Average film
Kurt Russell dressed in drag? Seriously? :))
Decent enough drama, but nothing special really. I didn t know Chris Pine had it in him to do something serious, though. The whole cast is pretty good. Jeff Bridges is of course superb, as always.
Here he is with the scriptwriter.
Felt a lot more faithful to the novel than the original miniseries, with ramped up scares, dread, and a level of gore at times I didn't expect, even with the R-rating.
I found it surprisingly funny, too - the dialogue was spot on for the kid actors, who were not only impressive (something I scarcely say about younger actors) but seemed to have great chemistry.
I'm fairly unphased by jump scares anymore, either, but there was one that the trailers didn't spoil that realllly got me good, I'll admit.
The one complaint I'd say I found was a bit too much CG blending into the gore/scares, which went a little overboard at times. I found the film at its most effective when it was Skarsgard with a kid, one on one, delivering some chilling dialogue.
If you're a fan of horror movies, or at least King's incredible novel, then I can't recommend this one enough. Saw it for a few bucks extra for a bigger screen, enhanced speakers, etc., and I don't regret that choice for a moment. My palms are still sweaty.
Same! It was damn good, refreshing to see such a great horror movie in a sea of countless forgettable ones.
I was really staggered to see IT's box office in particular, which is absolutely smashing. Good for those folks.
American Made (2017)
This was one of my most anticipated movies in 2017... and it did not disappoint in the slightest. Tom Cruise gives one of his best performances, he just lights up the screen with his sheer charisma and magnetic screen presence. This movie got very close to the level of Lord of War (which I thought last year's War Dogs was nowhere near that level). The movie's 2 hours run-time just flies at the same rocket speed as Tom Cruise when he runs. There is so much energy in this film - from Tom Cruise's performance, to Doug Liman's directing, to the editing, to the story, to the dialogue, to the killer soundtrack. This is a definite top 5 of 2017 for me, and one of my instant favorites from Tom Cruise (alongside Valkyrie, The Last Samurai and Collateral).
Tomorrow afternoon, I'll be going to Mother!, the film with Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem and Ed Harris.
John Wick 2 had this film for months finally watched it, Keanu is a bad ass total respect to him for the training he puts in really enjoyed the film.
I get it, it's a dark comedy, but where was the comedy? Still, with our Gemma and Anna Kendrick in the film, I can't bring myself to dislike the film completely.
The Night Of The Hunter
It was on TCM last night, and there wan't anything else on. Save for maybe Cape Fear, Mitchum was never more intimidating than as bible thumping preacher, Harry Powell. I haven't seen the tv movie remake, but I can't imagine how Richard Chamberlain could possibly come anywhere near to matching Mitchum in the role.
Night of the Hunter is superb directional debut by Charles Laughton if only he had directed further movies, heavily influenced by German expressionism Night of the Hunter is a masterpiece
Utterly fantastic, Floyd are my favourite band and I didn't get to see DG's tour so seeing this on the big screen was such a treat.
WALKABOUT.
Nic Roegs debut is a wonderful mesmerising film with the gorgeous Jenny Agutter as a girl along with her brother abandoned by their father in the Australian outback, after he kills himself. They encounter an aborigine on his journey into manhood on Walkabout.
A stunning debut, with a great score from the legend that is John Barry!
In years to come I think this film will be viewed differently, many aspects of this film are amazing.
There are scenes in BvS that are better than anything you will see in any other superhero films
The reason why Superman is flawed in BvS is because in this iteration he is human
I was planning on seeing Mother!, but when I approached the lovely young woman (she's the same age as me) who's there in one of the booths selling tickets every time I go see a film, she told me that based on the films I tend to come see on the big screen, I'd enjoy Good Time a lot more. I'm glad to say she wasn't wrong in the slightest. This film was 90 minutes of intense, non-stop, gut wrenching adrenaline-rush, with several moments of extreme brutality. Robert Pattinson delivers a mesmerizing performance that towers over the rest of his filmography (it's kind of going from the 'The Wicker Man' remake to 'Lord of War' when using Nicolas Cage as a comparison). This film iust knocked my jaw on the floor. The directing, editing, cinematography, soundtrack and performances were all flawless. I had never heard of the directors before (the Salfdie brothers), but they are definitely on my watch-list now in the future. This is, for me, a new classic of the crime genre, very similar in style to Collateral (as in, the entire film takes place during night). Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys crime films - @bondjames, @Creasy47, @DarthDimi, @doubleoego, @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7.
Pegg and Frost at it again for a final time. Boy did this make me laugh. Out of the three films they did together? "Paul" remains my firm favourite.
