Not a bad retelling of the standard fairy tale though I wouldn't say it's the best version I've seen.
I'm not sure but it's somehow both undercooked and overprepared, which is unfortunate as the film is fairly spot on with its treatment of events 40 years on otherwise.
Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace
The scariest movie of all time (one whisper at comic con and 100 nerds die so I have heard) but for the first 20 minutes its not bad I am digging the film it's really the introduction of Jar Jar and Tattoine that cause the most issues for me. The effects while amazing at the time are extremely dated on my copy anyways Neeson does what he can and Darth Maul still is the coolest character in the post original trilogy Series (with Qui Gon Jinnn being a close second) it's comical that after 4 films in the Disney franchise I would argue Phantom Menace still has more memorable characters and moments then any of the four films. I wouldn't call it a classic or even a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination but yeah it's far from the worst movie I have ever seen Honestly get rid of Binks and Edit Anakin scenes a bit and the film could be ten times better. Why did Anakin go to Naboo?
Taken 3
and we finish the Taken Trilogy. Are we sure Famke is not a Vampire she looks so amazing. Like better then is possible. Anyways 20 minutes of Mills family drama Kind of annoys me that and the murder of Lenore is out of Field.. Stuart is kind of an asshole Overall the film isn't as bad as I thought it would be I love Brian's team I am not going to go into the spoilers but wow there was kind of a twist I didn't see coming

This follow-up to The Wave is a huge success on Norwegian cinemas now, and deservedly so. I think I never saw anything more suspenseful and nerve-wrecking. Puts Hollywood in the shade.
OK. First things first: great performances by Cooper and Lady Gaga. That's already out there and I don't need to elaborate. What's also worth mentioning is that Andrew Dice Clay is a revelation, here, and though he's on record as saying this is his last acting gig, the role is a career changer. I didn't even recognize him.
The more fascinating part of the film is Cooper's ability to make us feel as though the two characters are insulated, in a bubble. He does this by disconnecting them from the outside world, the complete opposite of today's celebrity. While everyone else lives in a world of cell phones, social media, mass media, and technology, Jackson and Ally do not. There are very few (if any) moments in the film in which they are engaging in any kind of outside communication--only Gaga uses a cell phone in the first scene. As a result, Cooper hyper-focuses on the couple and their relationship. It's a stroke of genius.
That said, I did not buy...
Slight Bond connection: it stars Paris Carver's Superman.
Not only the greatest non-Bond Pierce Brosnan movie, but the greatest movie of all time.
It makes THE GODFATHER PART II look like GIGLI.
Actually, this is one of my favorite early 90's Brosnan flicks. Pierce is a demolitions expert investigating bombings, while trying to reconcile with his estranged wife.
It's pretty damn funny and Pierce has several great moments. I tend to watch this one for great Pierce-isms the way I watch THE LAST DETAIL or THE SHINING for great Jack Nicholson-isms.
Pierce looks great here as well. He's every inch Bond in waiting sporting his GOLDENEYE haircut.
Ben Cross is the villain, and there's a cameo by Felix Norman Burton.
I tend to think of this guilty pleasure being one of the countless direct to cable epics Brosnan did pre-Bond, but I do believe this had a limited cinematic release.
Ah. 1992. Sigh. Simpler times for me.
Me, too. Pretty memorable year.
Happy Death Day
Fright Night (1985)
Total Recall (1990)
Trainwreck
Another one of the Brosnanography that I have to watch. From what I recall reading about it some months ago, it did have a theatrical release.
Nothing like those great Pierce-isms!
Yes it has a silly story and some iffy moments, but I really like this film. Some nice horrific moments, a cracking turn from Dan O'Herlihy and a cool Carpenter score make this worth seeing again.
Also watched The Descent
Whatever happened to Neil Marshall? This is definitely his best film. A sort of Deliverance with females. Very well shot with a great all female cast. The subterranean creatures are the stuff of nightmares and Natalie Mendoza is terrific as the awesome Juno.
What version did you see @Creasy47 ?
Apparently the US version had the dumb ending where she actually escapes and it wasn't just a dream.
Hard to fault really. Great cast, great script. A throwback to a very different style/type of movie.
I remember seeing at the cinema in the afternoon here in the UK (with the proper ending)
I walked in and sat down and not a single other person turned up.
I had the cinema to myself for the screening and it was one of the most effective experiences I've ever had on the big screen.
I still think it's one of the best films of the 21st Century and I haven't seen a more effective horror film since. My Wife is claustrophobic and watched it on DVD when it came out and found it so effective refuses to watch it ever again.
Not too fussed about Hellboy but nice to see Marshall get a big project, maybe one day he'll hit the heights of The Descent again.
But the escape ending makes no sense. They were 2 miles underground, so how suddenly does an escape route present itself right out of the blue? It cheapens the whole film.
The dream ending is perfect and logical. One of the best horror endings ever.
@LeonardPine, true, but they do go through a ton of tunnels and shafts, so it is feasible that she located a tunnel that led to the room of bones she was in that eventually led out into the forest once more.
The dream ending does make sense I suppose, but doesn't mesh well for me if you're coupling it with the sequel (which I actually have only seen once - don't remember it being all that special). Doesn't it also pan out and show more and more of the monsters closing in on her location? The more I dwell on it, the more I'm digging it. I'll have to go with that ending again the next time I watch the movie.
The unrated cut has some frankly amazingly sexy stuff in it.
But, good flick either way IMO.
With Lisa Eilbacher? Film's now top priority for me, then. ;)
I could write an essay detailing why it’s my favorite; from race to being a single parent, and more it deals with serious topics while being tremendously entertaining. It beautifully balances powerful social commentary and unapologetic nostalgia.
I’ve often thought to myself, if at the end of my life I am able to watch one final film, it would be To Kill a Mockingbird .
One funny thing , as she growing up, and even today , I would call to my Daughter, in my best, deep, Gregory Peck voice, “ Faaaaye” , just as Atticus had called to his Daughter, Scout.
A great film that has hardly dated.
Billie Whitelaw still scares me to death in it.
Great film. Excellent cast and well directed by Richard Donner. The scene with David Warner is fantastically staged! Must get out my copy!
Well worth a look this close to Halloween !!
Poor Gregory Peck sure goes through hell and back.
