Review there by the way Ron :hail: |
1 Attachment(s) Attachment 218760 BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1969) My own 50th Anniversary showing of the film which had it's London premiere 15th September 1969. It's also Battle Of Britain Day today. The first film I ever saw at the cinema. My recollections are vague but I do remember my family and friends going together and my brother talking about the pilot when his goggles filled up with blood. |
The Chant Of Jimmie Blacksmith (Fred Schepisi) A lesson in manners. Tommy Lewis plays Jimmie, a 'bloody black' in 19th century Australia. He also learns some harder lessons along the way sadly, which culminates in his full expression of those same sentiments. In spades. No pun at all intended. Still quite moving. |
Finally saw 2007's Grindhouse (via an uncut German blu-ray). It was very interesting to see Planet Terror in a full widescreen ratio (there was additional picture information at the sides so it wasn't merely a case of cropping the top and bottom). But what really surprised me was just how different Tarantino's Death Proof was, during the second half of that film. Lots of alternate takes and totally new shots. It was fascinating to revisit these two films in a different way, would recommend seeking out Grindhouse even if you own standalone releases of Planet Terror and Death Proof. |
1 Attachment(s) The Amazing Spider-man 2012. After being bitten by a genetic altered spider, Peter Parker becomes Spider-Man. He engages with Dr Curtis Connors who was his father's research partner who is working on cross species genetic who has plans of his own. I have always found this more entertaining than the Tobey Maguire version of the web slinging hero. Andrew Garfield takes the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, who seems a bit more hyper and full of energy. Emma Stone plays the love interest Gwen Stacy and daughter of police chief played well by Dennis Leary. Connors is played brilliantly by Rhys Ifans. Uncle Ben and Aunt May are played by Sally Field and Martin Sheen. The special effects are good aswell as the P.O.V shots unless you suffer from motion sickness only downside was the CGI effects of The Lizard that could have been a bit better and more realistic than a knock off from some cheap 50s B movie monster. 7-8 out of 10. |
So I is watching the Climax (Gaspar Noe) finally. Back Monday! :behindsofa: |
1 Attachment(s) The Amazing Spider-man 2. 2014. Spider-Man returns to protect New York from Oscorp Corporation and faces a battle from Electro and Green Goblin. Andrew Garfield returns as the hero in the red and blue spandex as well as Emma Stone as the love Gwen, Jamie Foxx stars as the unluckiest worker Max Dillon who becomes the villain Electro and teams up with Harry Osborn. This was a start of a fast paced action that slowly became a mere drama film then back to a action packed film filled with good/decent special effects and some comedy which seems to be a small nod to the comic books. There is a small appearance by Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn and Paul Giamatti as Aleksei/Rhino. Decent sequel which lived up to the first movie 7-8 out of 10. |
I didn't mind the first Amazing Spiderman although didn't take to Garfield movie but absolutely hated the second, Electro and Rhino are just plain wrong in that film, at least in comparison to what i grew up reading.:wacko: I prefer the Maguire films but it might also have something to do with Kirsten Dunst with red hair being in those films as well :loveeyes:, They seem much closer to what i read as a kid. Although they still f*cked up other stuff. I really like the new kid as parker but don't like the changing of other characters or the techno suit. But thought the Vulture was great, haven't seen the new one but always liked Mysterio.:cool: Spiderman films are a mixed bag for me, Spiderman 2 being the best.:pop2: |
One trouble with the new Spider-Man Tom Holland is that he spends more time with his mask off than on. Leave the fracking mask on. We all know it's you under there. Your identity is supposed to be secret. In the last film he has a long talk with Mary Jane on the bridge with no mask on. Sheesh! |
I have yet to watch homecoming all the way through but heard mixed responses about it, all about Tom Holland, alot of people praised Michael Keaton as a good villain |
