There’s an excellent suite of various pieces of the score playing over those. Credits included, Fellowship is just shy of four hours. FOUR HOURS?!

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Morning Glory Complete coincidence that I watch this a week after I saw Broadcast News. This one is just about as good, and funny as hell! I bet Harrison Ford's grouchy and intimidating persona portrayed here is about close to what he's like in real life - no acting needed!

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Stab Takes a lot of liberties from the Gale Weathers book about the Woodsboro murders, but even that tabloidy thing was conjecture. Heather Graham's butt was the highlight, she's come a long way from Twin Peaks. But Tori Spelling was awful as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,491 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Little Shop of Horrors (1986 remake - Director's cut with the workprint's The Meek Shall Inherit restored) Love this, but the perfect version is still waiting to be properly restored and assembled. The finale in the Director's goes on at least twice as long as it should, and not that fitting as the only restored scene from the workprint. The puppetry and especially the lipsync is incredible.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Lakeview Terrace This wasn't bad. Samuel L. Jackson plays the nightmare neighbour from hell who's also a cop and he's really, really, like totally, so racist man. I like these psychological thrillers where there's like this guy and he's like messing with the main guy's head. So wicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always meant to make a thread here entitled "Atmospherically unnerving movies with a prevailing air of gloom and dread which get under your skin", but it was too much of a mouthful. Suspiria was going to be the film I'd cite to demonstrate it. These sorts of movies are few in number, and well worth talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher 350 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The Assasination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford - First time watching this all the way through. It's a bit long, but overall pretty compelling and quite good. Casey Affleck is great, but I especially found Pitt's understated performance to be of note. Also Deakins cinematography is as usual, terrific. - 8 / 10 Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
