I thought they captured the period well though and it had a sort of romantic feel which reminded me of war films from earlier times. Not so violently bloody as many of today's output is, but rather more quaint.
Hopefully you will appreciate Casablanca more with time. I've only seen it once (last year) and thought it lived up to its esteemed reputation. Allied doesn't come close, although it's a decent film.
Brilliant little British mystery thriller with what I would say Roger Moore’s best performance ever.
Need to see that one at some point. Watched the trailer not that long ago, and it looked interesting.
Joe my God. My favourite female 'agent' film is still Haywire, but nothing beats Atomic Blond as a blow-away experience! Photography, twists, seamless CGI* meshing of stunt people & actors, and a killer soundtrack to boot! My Son asked me to get this for us to watch, and I owe him big time. John Wick 2 level action acid trip.
Without a doubt, HEAVILY recommended.
*Normally I dislike extensive CGI in other than superhero films. But this was creative and detailed. I was aware of almost every moment of it because I have an eye for motion & detail, yet I never cringed. Takes were stitched together better than I was prepared to believe could be done.
Saw it twice in the theatre and loved it both times. It was just as good on the (relatively) small screen tonight. I just love the playful tone of this film and the humour and wit is spot on. Everyone seems to be letting their hair down and having a blast. The performances are just perfect across the board from the superb cast. It of course doesn't hurt when you have thespian level quality among them like Hopkins, Blanchett and Hiddleston, but everyone else is completely on point as well including Goldblum, Tessa Thompson (perfect), Ruffalo, Urban and Elba. Chris Hemsworth's comedic timing is really good and I have a new found appreciation for him. This is the MR of Marvel films for me. Feeling a bit down? Put this in the player. I promise you it'll liven up your day. Taika Waititi, my hats off to you.
Matt Damon and Sam Neill's cameos are hilarious too.
That's next up for me. We missed seeing it theatrically, but I bought it today, and it was almost out of stock where I went. A Ragnarok Sunday.
I wouldn t go that far, but it was fun for sure.
Add the Cold War atmosphere to that mix, the neon lights and the amazing Stalker reference.
Love that movie to bits. Also fell in love with Charlize Theron ;)
Really enjoyed this! Very fast moving thriller with Jackie Chan showing his acting chops as well as kicking ass! Great performance from Pierce Brosnan who's character is obviously based on Gerry Adams.
Director Martin Campbell has lost none of his skill. The action is top notch and the fight scenes brutal. Could definitely manage another Bond.
Also satisfying to see the IRA portrayed as the slimy turds they really are instead of misunderstood freedom fighters.
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
Cruising
Psycho (1998)
Trainspotting
T2: Trainspotting
Oh my. This movie made me think three things:
1) Iron Man 2 at least had RDJ in it.
2) I need to see the first Thor movie again to clear my mind of this film.
3) Justice League was SO much better.
That's it.
The film barring a few action moments was a bag of...
I studied Norse mythology at university, this is not how I envisaged Ragnarok
If his movies aren't your cup of tea, then that almost makes sense... but how would you know if you haven't watched them? --- Just kidding, I know what you mean, there are people whose movies I automatically assume I won't like, regardless of if I've ever seen any or not (and in some cases don't remember if I ever have). He was just a surprising name for an actor whose work somebody who isn't a kid hasn't seen, that's all, also considering the length of his career, and the directors he has worked with (PTA previously too, Mann, 2x Scorsese, Ivory, 3x Sheridan, Spielberg, etc.). One would assume DDL movies would have been difficult to avoid. You probably wouldn't like them all, but some probably yes. (I don't think I like every movie in anyone's filmography - when it's longer than a couple of movies - but that never stops me from looking for those I like.)
Okay. People often use it as a negative and your placing of that word suggested that, too, but good to hear you didn't mean it that way. To me that movie just flies by, and I kinda wish it took its time a bit more, but maybe it doesn't need to. And I do love it as it is. (I mean I love it to bits already and have no idea if I would love it more if it was "slower"... longer scenes, more scenes, more things in certain scenes.)
I see. Even though Guadagnino initially considered leaving the peach out altogether, since he wasn't sure it would work in film (and clearly for you it didn't work, and I'm sure you're not alone), there would have been riots had he left it out altogether.
Btw, I don't remember anything about American Pie, except that I didn't enjoy it and didn't find it funny at all.
That's interesting, since
That's an interesting comparison. I liked Phantom Thread a lot, but... I can't even compare, really, the movies were so different and the relationships were so different (the Phantom Thread relationship was pretty unpleasant in many ways), but if I may steal your words I was observing it from afar rather than wholeheartedly embracing it.
I know it's difficult to explain, don't worry about that. I couldn't begin to explain why exactly CMBYN worked so perfectly for me, it just did. Obviously I could try... talk about it for days, for instance, but if the other person didn't see it the same way, they'd still be just "so?" We experience movies the way we experience them, because of who we are and what we see and feel in them.
Not exactly a resounding recommendation... I may or may not watch it some day.
I watch anything myself when I want to see people's work (actors or directors usually), or because of some recommendation or connection.
This will probably fall into bad films I like category
Oh dear the Whedon scenes look obvious
This film is a mess no wonder it bombed
The obvious Whedon scenes are gone dam awful
Whedon destroyed this fim
A plus point is the New Gods narrative relative to Kal absence
When this film is good it's SNYDER
I liked Justice League, but LOVED BvS & MoS. I want a sequel to those movies
BvS is awesome
A good way to see it: Marvel brings us into the comic book world, while DC brings our heroes into our world.
Justice League, as it was released in theaters, definitely felt more like a Marvel film. I'm not against FUN, but it just disappointed me that all the awesomeness that was set up in BvS was now pretty much thrown away. (the Flash travelling through time to warn Bruce, the Knightmare scene, Superman dying isn't that big a deal anymore, etc.)
Regarding Superman, Snyder had plans to make Justice League a two parter, with Superman likely not even having so much as a cameo in the first part.
So like I said, I liked Justice League, but man, what it could have been......
Travesty, safe mediocrity has become the norm unfortunately
