Thanks @GoldenGun i really like the Herzog version.
Home Viewing
Cleaner - decent enough action thriller from Martin Campbell and Daisy Ridley (who deserves to be in better films). Budget Die Hard but does the job fine.
Den of Thieves - decent enough action heist film. Thought it was too long at 2hr 20m. Could've shaved 15 mins off.
Den of Thieves 2 - preferred it to the original, likely due to the setting, but thought it was too long at 2hr 25m. Could've shaved 15 mins off.
Anora - really liked it, though it was long at 2hr 20m. Could've shaved 15 mins off.
😂 I'll give it some serious thought, mate!
Thanks! :))
The Coen Brothers created so many iconic characters in their films, from The Dude to Marge Gunderson, they added to that list here with Anton Chigurh, chillingly played by Javier Bardem ( far more scary here than as Silva!) chasing a bag of money from a drug gang, which ends up in the hands of wily hunter Llewellyn Moss ( the excellent Josh Brolin!) Based on Cormac McCarthys novel, it's full of rich characters (the owner of the camper site is a hoot!) and thrilling set pieces ( Moss first encounter with the bad guys and a dog is brilliant!) and great dialogue ( to his put upon wife , the excellent Kelly Macdonald "if I don't come back, tell Momma I love her!", "Your Mommas dead, Llewellyn!", "Well then, I'll tell her myself!") Tommy Lee Jones plays the world (VERY!) weary Sheriff who's trying to make sense of it all, and I'm more at ease with the open ended finish than I was when I first saw it! It's a splendid thriller, which keeps you interested from beginning to end!
A dtv mashup of Air Force One, Executive Decision and The Rock, starring Cannon Films' homegrown action star, Michael Dudikoff. Until a few days ago, I had never seen a Dudikoff film, where I watched River Of Death. This was the better of the two, though neither are standout genre films.
It’s enjoyable in a ‘does what it says on the tin’ type way. I found it a bit cheesy at points if I’m honest, but that’s more a personal preference and I can understand that’s sort of the tone it’s going for. The aerial stunts (and of course VFX) are very good.
It knows what it’s about. Not sure it’s a film I’ll ever fall in love with, and I actually think it holds up better when seen at home/not in the cinema. But it’s ok to come back to every so often.
Honestly I love this film. Billy Crystal is hilarious and its just a funny fantastic Cop film the action is good the characters feel real… I honestly love it. Considering the hell me and Amanda are going through we both enjoyed this film and the 1:45 it bought us away from our problems
1. The living daylights
2. Black bag
3. Running Scared
4. A complete unknown
5. When harry met sally
6. Mystic pizza
7. Casino Royale 1954
8. A haunting in venice
Same here. The definition of a cult movie. I think it walked with its humor so that Shrek could run.
I only watched the first Shrek movie and maybe one Xmas special. I found it okay, but not more. And I always found ironic that a film about the importance of inner beauty mocks its antagonist for being dwarfish.
So yeah, I enjoyed El Dorado far more.
Remember seeing it in the cinema, and went only because I like most of Director Peter Hyams work! It has a great concept ( two cops, one of whom gets an inheritance, up to now, they were fearless, now that they are about to quit, suddenly the danger feels more real!) and Hyams stages the action as you would expect from him ( a car chase.....on a railway track!!!), and Gregory Hynes and Billy Crystal spark off each other well. It's one of Hyams lesser films, but I recall enjoying it for what it is!
First, I hope that whatever problems you have get better.
As for RUNNING SCARED (1986), I remember seeing it when it came out since it was Director Peter Hyams first film since "2O10". As you stated, it is a highly enjoyable film and I really liked the chemistry between Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines. The supporting cast was also solid with Jimmy Smits (as the villain) and Darlanne Fluegel and Tracy Reed as the love interests. Combing that with a great soundtrack featuring songs by Michael McDonald, Patti LaBelle and Klymaxx and there isn't a lot not to like.
The film - and this song - got me through a tough 1986. Hopefully whatever bad times that you are currently having will pass.
Not the Dario Argento one, unfortunately, but the Ron Howard one. Quite honestly I did not hate The Da Vinci Code and I even really liked Angels & Demons. This one was, well, so-so. A few interesting bits, though I was never really thrilled either.
BAMBI
Missed this one when I was a kid, I had a first-time viewing of this classic while I watched along with my son the other day. Absolutely beautiful, it must be said. The drawings, the story, the music. I must admit I was slightly blown away by it.
CONCLAVE
Definitely well-crafted and interesting throughout, the ending is like Dan Brown-light in terms of believability though. Everything leading up to that was very well-done and intriguing however. A special shoutout to the always wonderful Isabella Rosselini.
Anyhow, I abhor The Da Vinci Code, one of the most tedious films I've ever sat through, zero interest in sequels!
Bambi is indeed wonderful, as are all of those early Disney films!
Conclave is another of those films I mulled over going to see, but as I've said before, Cinema is just not the same as it was, the fear of disappointment is greater than ever!
Yeah, that would have been quite a shift. Although Suspiria, Inferno and Phenomena do feel like what one could call "dark fairytales". They have that strange quality to them, so otherworldly. Artful and horrific at the same time.
Anyway, wish I watched that Inferno, definitely the superior film with that title :))
