Thats my kinda review

Spielberg's Duel. A total classic. Unbelievably tense, edge of seat stuff. They really don't make em like this anymore. Or at least Señor Spielbergo doesn't. He's gotten more worthy and less entertaining. This is the good stuff.

Yeah I wish I could sit him down and force him to entertain everyone again. There's a Falcon chase (yes, falcon chase) in Tintin which is absolutely amazing. Though as a whole i wasn't blown away by the film. Saw war of the worlds recently enough, that had it's moments too, until the ending.


Was Jurrassic Park 2 his last big balls out crowd pleaser (apart from Tintin) ?

Blood Simple. The Coen brothers fiendishly good debut. A nasty slice of neo noir.

Spoiler

Dan Hedaya's character gets a right old rough time in this film. Not only is his wife cheating on him but he also gets his finger broken, kicked in the balls, shot, buried alive and finally has his head caved in with a shovel. M. Emmet Walsh is the balls in this. One of the scummiest characters in cinema

Zodiac, haven't seen it since it was in the cinema. Brilliant film, one of Fincher's best.

Good Vibrations yesterday in the Light House.

Re-watched The Long Goodbye [thanks Washing Cattle for awakening it] on Friday night.

That obnoxious doctor. The stoned girlie neighbours. The fussy cat. The John Huston-like Roger Wade. The finale. AWESOME.

25th hour. Not as good as I remembered. Pompous filmmaking.

Days of Heaven. The most beautiful film ever made? I think so. Malick's masterpiece. Probably my second favourite film ever.

Really Enjoyed good vibrations.

Trance was like a 90's britpop music video.

 

[Anthony]

This was good enough. Tried to cover too much ground and weird time jumps spoiled the flow.

The intouchables.
Really nice French film.

Affliction. Paul Schrader's moody, thoughtful adaptation of Russell Bank's excellent novel. Nick Nolte gives one of the best performances of his career as a small town cop who's increasingly obsessive behaviour alienates him from his family and friends. James Coburn is on equally good form as his monstrous, abusive father.

I saw this first on its release in 1997 and watched it again recently. James Coburn and Nolte were spellbinding, both were nominated for the Oscar with Coburn winning for best supporting actor. Schroder made a couple of really decent films and this was definitely one of them.

Brilliant remake of Wages of Fear and directed by Willem Friedkin- the movie never made an impact at the box office upon it's release in 1977 but that might have had something to do with it being out the same time as Star Wars! A real gem of a movie, great characters and performances all round and the tension cranked up to the max esp the bridge scene. Scheider's best movie after Jaws imo.

The Host (Gwoemul) ..not the shyte Stephanie Meyers one that is out now. This is a monster movie from South Korea that puts most Hollywood efforts to shame. Brilliantly entertaining from start to finish.

 

[Anthem]

One of the best documentaries I have seen in a long time. It really is impossible to believe that this is a true story- that is how bizarre it is.

Two re-watches today.

Robert Altman's O.C. and Stiggs. Not to be confused with Hickey and Boggs.
I like it. Most people don't. The Schwabs are utterly unsympathetic. Great Apocalypse Now-add on from Dennis Hopper.

Night Moves.
Arthur Penn's gritty noir 1975-style with Gene Hackman and Melanie Griffith. She also featured in The Drowning Pool during the same year. Great film with Hackman searching for himself while his world goes pear-shaped.

There's a hollywood remake of this? The original is one of my dad's favourite films and he would never watch foreign movies. I really like it too.
