Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Rambo (2008) A conservative movie about dizzy-headed liberals stupidly going into a war-torn third world country with an insane dictator that murders everyone. So they send in a group of mercenaries and Rambo himself to save them, AKA wipe out the entire fucking military. In my opinion, it's not a good First Blood/Rambo movie until the very end when he goes home and you hear Jerry's music. But it is a decent action flick with plenty of brutal kills and an especially memorable bloodbath finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,274 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I adore the movie, but it took a couple of viewings and few years of growth to get there. The only section of the movie I still think drags a bit is the whole docking section in the middle act Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon McBride 113 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Rear Window. Great movie. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Plus, I really like Jimmy Stewart, so that's cool. Incanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Did Grace Kelly ever look better? I watched Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone yesterday evening.

Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Kubrick knows precisely how not to bore! He knows how to create an environment, and then step back, allowing us in. This is something every artist should aim for in their work, at least once, even if they don't adopt it as their overriding aesthetic. 2001 is one of the calmest, meditative, most inviting "places" that I've ever been.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I love the four films Hitchcock made with Jimmy Stewart. They're all 4 so experimental in their own way and completely different from one another. Four of Stewart's best performances for sure. Ranked! 1. Vertigo 2. Rear Window 3. Rope 4.

bollemanneke 3,338 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Saving Private Ryan. I don't really know what to say. Overall I found it slow and even boring at times. Beginning and ending was extremely touching and there were some good moments, but the fighting just lasted too long. Great score, though way too short.

But I guess if you are blind you will miss the visual power of them. Even then, for those scenes to work well, you need to see them in a theatre, on a large screen, and a sound system that puts you right in the middle of the action. It's really not the same at home. It would be the same as watching a 3D movie in 2D. I can't imagine how it would look like on a Trinitron found in a garbage container.

Yeah I suppose that you do need to see the battle scenes in order for them to leave a lasting impression. Being told that someone is bleeding like crazy doesn't leave the same repulsive impression.

publicist 4,643 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 As far as the Holy Scripture goes, there's no better film (ok, 'Life of Brian' excepted). Also how much Ridley Scott, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg learned about framing by DeMille, the oldest master of cinema (DeMille without dialogue is infinitely better than with). Now the only thing this one lacks is a Rózsa score so in dubbed it with 'King of Kings' in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The Witches of Eastwick This one holds up. It's so weird and memorable, with a great cast (Veronica Cartwright is a standout) and score by Williams, which even breaks the fourth wall in a unique way. There's even an oddly prophetic moment when Jack Nicholson is inflicting Michelle Pfeiffer (who appeared to have an outbreak of herpes during filming) with pain and a cutout of a clown resembling the Joker starts swaying back and forth. Susan Sarandon is great as always, especially when she goes over the top in scenes like the band rehearsal and tennis game. I think this is the only time I was attracted to Cher.
