I thought EX MACHINA was quite well done, so I'm on board with Garland. Also love Portman. Very much looking forward to this one.

@bondjames Great review. Glad to see you're coming down on the 'like' end, although this has become such a 'fence sitting' film for me. I'm still firmly in the middle. I ought to go and see it again (or probably wait for the home release). I have…

My condolences to you and your mother and the woman's family, as well, @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7. These things are always tough getting through. I had a busier than expected weekend, and was only this morning able to finally watch L'AVVENTURA. Gre…

Documentary airing on HBO early next month but I thought perhaps relevant for this thread.

Yes, I see where you're coming from. Both of the films you mentioned would have been made for around $50-$60 million today, whereas most wide-release drama films are now made for probably something like sub-$40 million. Another symptom of the ever-w…

Of all Craig's films I do tend to think highest of QOS. At times I've thought of it as the 'failed' DN of the modern era. That is, where DN successfully laid the groundwork for the films that followed it, I think EON had a real opportunity with Q…

I enjoy RESERVOIR DOGS and PULP FICTION. For me JACKIE BROWN is by far his best work — a really great film. Never been too excited by the rest. (Haven't seen HATEFUL EIGHT yet though.)

By the logic of viewing that film as a one-trick pony, or feeling that it's only good the first time when you don't know what's coming, then every movie we see is useless after the first time we watch it, and of course that's not true. Of cours…

Excellent film title. Preferable to the suggestion I be depicted with a mustache, but as the mustache in question is that of Sellers I feel nothing but honor. ;) I haven't been around these parts long enough yet to truly pick up on the finer poin…
