I'll have to add those to the list. Thanks, Dimi. I've heard their other films are worth checking out but that's the first one I've seen from them.
You should certainly try SPRING. I highly recommend that one! And RESOLUTION and THE ENDLESS exist in the same "Lovecraftian" universe, one less evidently so than the other, but both.
Excellent. I could go for more "Lovecraftian" works after heavily enjoying Color Out Of Space last year.
Deconstructing Harry Great stuff. Very humorous in places and loved the fact it almost was a 'road movie'
Small Time Crooks Enjoyed this immensely from beginning to end. Tracey Ullman is so good in this. Really funny and touching.
Midnight In Paris I'm not a huge Owen Wilson fan, but he's perfect in this wonderful film. I really disliked the Rachel McAdams character. So obnoxious!
Match Point Terrific stuff. Although I hated most of the characters and the end stretched credibility somewhat.
Scoop My personal favourite of these films. Haven't laughed this much in ages. Wonderful chemistry between Woody and Scarlet. Also great in this is Hugh Jackman, who seeing him here with his very good English accent, I'm convinced he could have made a credible 007.
Rainy Day In New York
Thoroughly enjoyed this as well, even though I had no idea it even existed! Wonderful performances and I found Selena Gomez incredibly sexy!
Great film especially if you like motor racing.
Starring 2 promising actors...... :)>-
M:I Rogue Nation 4K Exhilarating stuff, this movie has grown on me over the years, not my favorite of the series though still dam good. Tom is a legend!
The very first trailer seemed far more interesting than the eventual end result.
Attrociously redundant film. A waste of time, money and energy. Anya Taylor-Joy couldn't even fix this.
DR NO. A great viewing, sound and vision. To me there's no substitute for the in-theater experience, it's immersive in a way I notice so much more detail. Background sounds, birdsongs, set dressings after discussions here. So much to absorb and relish.
One thing, with the late start I watched on screen as someone fast forwarded the digital copy to the beginning gunbarrel across a bunch of background information that could have been enjoyed. Also, the traditional end credits finish quick, don't show the James Bond Will Return In tag. [That was a highlight of the Roger Moore films screened after his passing--watching THE SPY WHO LOVED ME end declaring James Bond Will Return In FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, then it did.]
Anyway, a fine theater experience on many levels and one to remember.
This film already has a place among my "weirdest" films of all time...and that's not surprising: Hancock wrote the first draft of the script around 1991, and many of the films on my list are of that early to mid 90s era known for its neo-noir. To me, a "weird" film is not one that is a David Lynch-type mind-bender. Instead, the movie is an odd combination of story, cast, music, and overall atmosphere that is neither good nor bad, but rather mood-altering. Generally, these are films in which something is off, and yet I am not bothered/distracted enough to dislike it.

Coma (1978)
Sharky's Machine (1981)
Cat People (1982)

@RichardTheBruce. I glad that the Fathom Event thing worked out. Like you (and most here I think), I really hope that the movie going experience survives the current situation. I last saw Dr. No in a theater back in October 2012 (on James Bond Day, IIRC *) - in the run up to Skyfall, and I saw little details that I normally miss when I watch the film at home.
*** AMC was actually raffling off copies of the BOND50 box set at the screening!
Question: Were the concession stands open and did people have on their masks during the movie? Thanks.
I didn't realize the film was written in the early '90s initially. That helps explain why it takes place in October 1990 for apparently no other reason. I wasn't crazy about the film as a whole but I did enjoy it for the most part. I know it's subjective but:
Indeed...
Right, I assumed it was just to make catching the suspect harder due to the lack of increases in technology and security. I certainly didn't mind it.
It has a certain 60s aesthetic charm, but it is all rather silly. A very stupid first attempt. Has anyone seen any of the other films?
@Dwayne I had a small popcorn (no butter) and a small Diet Coke (and by theater standards it was unusually small, about 16 oz., but just right). Regular concessions offerings for sale, candy and drinks. This is one of those theaters that offers curbside popcorn pickup for on line purchase, I haven't witnessed that myself.
This is probably the 7th in-theater film I've seen in the last year, each time concessions were in full operation and I got popcorn and a beverage. Similar to restaurants, folks wear a mask until they're seated. When you select a seat (or block of seats for a family), it's/they're reserved and the surrounding seats are automatically blocked off for more than required distancing.
I had literally the best seat in the house for this. Grateful for the opportunity, and looking forward to more.
Tempus fugit.
Since I’m mostly familiar with Humphrey Bogart’s mid and late career films (i.e., The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, In A Lonely Place, The Caine Mutiny), I found this really informative and will start to seek out several of the films covered here.
“How Humphrey Bogart Became a Star” by film historian Eddy Von Mueller.
One of the pleasant surprises of my developing love of “classic” movies over the past 5-6 years, is the discovery that many of the themes and topics continue to be relevant.
My favorite of the trilogy and probably one of my favorite movies.
The editing is choppy, but seeing Liam Neeson in the role that turned him into an unlikely action star, is still entertaining as hecc.
Taken 2 (2012)
Not quite as good as the first film, but still has it's moments. Kim seems to have Taken (eh, see what I did there) some running lessons, as well as driving lessons.
A great film, much of talent involved were also responsible for the original King Kong.
That's right regarding King Kong I only learnt that yesterday, another great film I will revisit soon.
I remember reading the short story back in school and being so enamored and intrigued by it. Would love to see a proper adaptation of it done again, something simple and survival-ish with an air of mystery.
