Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 watched The Eagle Has Landed last night, the extended version. Great little film -the first Schifrin score I brought/listened to. Love Duvall in this film as well as Caine, Sutherland and Hagman. This is Mallory...I got the truck with a bazooka. Truck? For crissakes! what does he want, a Silver Star? Rewatching The Black Hole. Darkest Disney movie? I guess it's a certain point of view. Great score though. Yvetette Mimieux seemed to have a habit of needing rescuing in films and sometimes to a memorable score (i.e Time Machine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 All the Money in the World I started watching this having no prior knowledge of the Getty family and the kidnapping story. Not a bad yarn but felt a bit stale. If it's great Ridley Scott visuals you're after, look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 When their deeply religious mother dies, her seven children bury her in the garden and continue life as normal. Then their absent no-good father Charlie reappears just in time before they are discovered. He moves in and a twisted game for mother's possessions and the children's affection begins. The child actors deliver very natural convincing performances, but the movie is a bit uneven in its mix of tragedy and gothic thriller, i watched it mainly to hear Delerue's beautiful score in context and its gallic lilt adds a much needed fairy tale air. Still, it's not rightly forgotten today. Unlucky Bastard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc 2,674 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Escape Plan (2013) These kind of action flicks are not really my cup of tea, but I had nothing else to do, and it was on the tube. (read:no motivation). Okay as far as these things go. Plot is thin, but Sly and Arnold are thick and Jim Caviezel is alright as a psychopath. Sam Neil seems as lost and out of place as the doctor he plays. Climax was somewhat effective. Most of the acting was just tolerable. Ending weak. 2/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 They obviously switched over to the stunt actor there, but it still looks good. Considering the suits were so clunky and you were dealing with subject matter of 6 foot mutant turtle ninjas, it's amazing they went to those efforts of selling their physical prowess rather than just Batman 1966'ing it all. There was no doubt those big ass turtles were ninjas. Unlucky Bastard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally, when there's a car chase or a shootout in a movie, it's totally habitual. But in this movie I thought "Fucking shit, is that really just happening?!", because it was so real and intense.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I, Tonya Poor thing. Loveless mother with that "I did it tough so you deserve nothing" attitude, violent but oddly wimpy husband, and that really weird deluded fatso who thought he was a secret agent? Who the hell were these hillbilly weirdos?! Margot Robbie channels her Harley Quinn performance a bit with that accent, but otherwise she was oddly adorable in this, despite being a total rough-head!

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Saw a film yesterday based on the novel Ghost Soldiers. The film was called The Great Raid about the rescue mission to bring home 500+ American POW's before the Japs slaughtered them. It wasn't a great film but it told the story fairly well.

Good concept, good writing, chilling atosphere when needed, some psychological stuff, a good but not overdone love thread, ASTONISHING makeup and prosthetics, a lot of very well done and integrated levity.
