duaneiac Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 I never would have guessed there was a direct link between Busby Berkeley and Huntz Hall, but hey, there it is. The story seem seems pretty hokey today and the acting -- other than the still compelling John Garfield -- is pretty heavy handed Quote
kinuta Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 The Lost City Of Z - James Gray (2016) Would make an excellent companion piece to Mountains Of The Moon. http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/mountains-of-the-moon-1990 Very well made and acted meditation on a mapping mission in Bolivia that becomes an obsession of sorts. I thought it was very good but anyone expecting an adventure yarn should move along. Quote

kinuta Posted July 22, 2017 Report Posted July 22, 2017 Apocalypse Now Redux - Francis Ford Coppola (1979) The Battle Of Britain - Guy Hamilton (1969) Quote
kinuta Posted July 23, 2017 Report Posted July 23, 2017 The Lovers - Azazel Jacobs (2017) Any chance to see Debra Winger is cause for celebration. Tracy Lets also well cast as her husband. A good film despite the misjudged music. Quote
kinuta Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Incendies - Denis Villeneuve (2010) A great film by a great director. Quote

kinuta Posted July 25, 2017 Report Posted July 25, 2017 Enemy - Denis Villeneuve (2013) Impressive. I needed online help to decypher the film though. Quote

I will go see just about anything if it's presented in 70mm, but Dunkirk would have been quite good in any format. Would like to see it again in 15/70 IMAX, as I understand that the framing is significantly different due to IMAX's near-square aspect ratio. Quote
kinuta Posted July 25, 2017 Report Posted July 25, 2017 Prisoners - Denis Villeneuve (2013) Polytechnique - Denis Villeneuve (2009) Proof positive that Villeneuve is a great director. Anyone interested in his films should make an effort to see this. Quote
duaneiac Posted July 26, 2017 Report Posted July 26, 2017 OK, so it's a John Ford film, so there are some nice scene compositions in this movie. On the other hand, the script and the performances really are awfully, terribly, horribly dated and offensive. Even Jed Clampett and his kin would look down upon these folks and their durn fool shenanigans and mutter, "Pitiful, piiiiiiiitiful!". Gene Tierney is utterly wasted in this film. Quote

A film you sure hope isn't the first exposure a movie fan has to John Ford, or classic cinema....for some reason, it's on youtube...prove us wrong and tell us that it's the best film you have ever seen!

Edited July 26, 2017 by BERIGAN info...you can watch on youtube Quote
Shawn Posted July 26, 2017 Report Posted July 26, 2017 This one was brilliant... Baby Driver - 2017 (Edgar Wright) This one sadly wasn't... Free Fire - (2017, Ben Wheatley) Quote
BillF Posted July 26, 2017 Report Posted July 26, 2017 Very good French thriller with a storyline worthy of Eric Ambler. Quote
