    I'll definitely watch it again, in a couple of years. I thought it a fantastic film.

    I don't want to see The Hateful Eight again personally, but I do like watching Django, where for me everything builds up to that gripping dinner scene. Di Caprio's best work imho. Masterful.

    I love Django Unchained. I have seen it a few times.

    You're right, the dinner scene is just masterful. Wonderful writing and acting.

    I don't think The Hateful Eight is the kind of film you'd want to see, again. And in a way, neither is Django Unchained. But, both are good films. Not too great, but very good.

    I've watched 'The Hateful Eight' about six or seven times since I first saw it. Tarantino's filmography is always rewatchable to me.

    I bought them both, so will definitely rewatch them some time.

    Years after seeing them, I just have started doing a Bourne marathon. So far, watched The Bourne Identity, and will resume the marathon shortly afterwards. The only thing, before doing a full review for the each of them that I want to get out of my chest is that, how brilliant the first film is, and its plot (apart from Conklin's assassination) relevant in parallel to that of the book, alongside the camerawork, and recalling the follow-ups, with Supremacy forming the template for the rest of the entries in the series (and that damn bloody shakycam thing), I am dissatisfied. However, I will watch the second and the rest, as I said, before submitting a full review.

    Over and out.

    'Blade Runner: The Final Cut'

    Just as fantastic as always; this was how I was introduced to the film (thanks to @DarthDimi a few years ago), and this is the edition I always go with. One of the best sci-fi movies I've ever seen, one of my favorites in general, and I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel, knowing it's in capable hands.

    It Came From Outer Space. They're running a classic sci fi on 'Quest'. Last week it was 'The Creature From The Black Lagoon' & the week before 'The Incredible Shrinking man'. Of the three only the shrinking man was any good.

    The Sixth Sense (1999)

    A hell of a film. A brilliant performance by Haley Joel Osmond that sometimes makes Bruce Willis suffer in comparison. Probably M. Night Shyamalan's best film.

    Whatever happened to Haley Joel Osment? He was awesome as a kid. After The Sixth Sense, and then Pay It Forward and A.I. he sort of... disappeared. In the past 15 years he has grown up (he's 28 now) and... well, worked some, but nothing much of note.

    Most recently that I know of, he was in a raunchy American Pie style movie called 'Sex Ed'. I started it out of curiosity but couldn't get past 10 minutes....

    *Edit- but then again according to his IMDB page he's quite busy! Who knew!

    I don't think I've seen him in anything where he's been in late teens or an adult. If people are talented when they're young then what the heck...? Maybe too many bad choices material-wise or with wrong people, or personal stuff, or whatever. It's just unfortunate when talents emerge and then disappear. He even studied that stuff at University level, so clearly has been serious about it as a career. (Not that formally studying it is necessary, of course.)

    I believe Osment wanted to focus on his education during his hiatus. He's an extremely gifted actor.

    Glory (1989). Great movie. Instantly became one of my favorite war films. Not sure why it's not talked about more often.

    BLADE RUNNER: THE FINAL CUT is hands-down the best version of BLADE RUNNER around. I had the very good fortune of seeing it in theatres last year and it's an experience I shall never forget.

    I also recommend the work print of the movie, but more for educational purposes.

    The Bourne Legacy (2012)

    My appetite for all things Bourne has recently been whetted by Jason Bourne. Since I've only recently rewatched the classic trilogy, I decided to put in this semi-sequel to get my 'fix', starring Jeremy Renner.

    I enjoyed it this time, as I did in the theatre on first watch. Renner is no Damon (not even close) but he does a decent enough job as Aaron Cross. He really moves with great speed during the action sequences and is credible. This film takes place during the same timeline as The Bourne Ultimatum, and the film makers intersperse various news headlines and clippings from that film to remind us of this fact.

    Cross's CIA program is shut down on account of the events of the previous film, and this results in all the operative's lives being put at risk. Ed Norton stars as the 'big bad' at the CIA this time, and he is pretty decent, as is the ever charismatic Stacy Keach. Mrs. Daniel Craig (Rachel Weisz) plays Dr. Martha Shearing, who is responsible for designing and administering the 'chems' which give the operatives an edge. She joins forces with Cross to try and escape in the end.

    The action is excellent, the pacing is brisk and the performances are top notch across the board. James Newton Howard's score on the other hand, is subpar relative to the original trilogy imho.

    What does the film lack? It's easy. Two words. One name. 'Matt Damon'. That's its major problem. Renner is a supporting star imho. Not a main player in the same league as Tom or Matt, and Damon casts a long shadow over this film.

    Despite this, I recommend it and look forward to an eventual sequel, should they decide to make one.

    Villain.
    A great gangster movie with an at times over the top performance from Richard Burton!
    Written by comedy specialists Dick Clement and Ian Lefrenais, its not in the same league as Get Carter, but an entertaining thriller all the same

    Just watched The Finest Hours. What a surprise, such a good movie. Worth a look. Riveting, edge of the seat stuff. Fab story.

    The Rainmaker (1997). Far and away my favorite post-70s Coppola film, and one of my favorites of his. That, along with the first two Godfather films and The Conversation, are my favorites from Coppola.

    @FoxRox, love The Rainmaker. What are your feelings on Apocalypse Now?

    Coppola is far and away one of the biggest reasons why film in the 70s was earth shatteringly amazing. So many hits in just one decade.

    I hate to admit it, but I wasn't a huge Apocalypse Now fan. I only saw the Redux version though, so thoughts on the shorter one might be different. I mean I appreciated it, and Brando in his scenes was simply unbelievable, but it just wasn't my cup of tea overall. Still, I consider it good. Just not a favorite, but I might try the other version sometime.

    Love 'em all, though, yes TISM is the best of the bunch. Have only just read the novel (The Shrinking Man - he only became incredible when he became a movie star!) a couple of years back, well worth tracking down. A great read.

    I watched Escape From New York recently.

    Hollywood should make more movies like this nowadays. No action or excitement. Just lots of spooky atmosphere.

    No action or excitement?! Did we watch the same film? Sure it's atmospheric but I'd say there was quite a bit of action and excitement.

    Not really. It's a bit like Dr No. Very sparse until the end, and a sudden climax and resolution. I like it. Action movies weren't always about wall to wall explosions.

    I'm not a wall-to-wall explosions type of guy, but that is not the only way to have 'action and excitement'.

    A bit of trivia on The Incredible shrinking man. The large rain drops were made by
    Filling condoms with milky water. An accountant working on the movie, on seeing
    A receipt for thousand of condoms, demanded to know why they needed so many ?
    Only To be told they were for the WRAP party ! :D

    I'm not a fan of the Redux version, @FoxRox , I find it drags.

    The original theatrical version is the proper version as far as I'm concerned.

    Have you seen the documentary about the film, Hearts of Darkness? One of the best movie docs you'll ever see.

    @DarthDimi, duly noted! I think the workprint edition will be the one I watch next time, then.

    Haven't seen that documentary, but I imagine it's very interesting, since I've heard it was a rough process to make the film. I will have to check out the original then; hope I like it!
