What Films Have You Seen Recently?

[Leman]

For the first time in a very long time I watched The Stuff with basically a fresh pair of eyes.

I'd forgotten how amazing it is I think it might be impossible to count how many times the main hero punches people in the face.

I am the total oppisite, I really like Deathproof. I will agree there is a bit of annoying dialouge, but Kurt Russle is fantastic, and the car chase scene at th end is mind blowing. One of my favourite things about the film is the choice of music to images, the crash where dave dee dozy beaky mick & tich is playing is up there with the best Tarantino has done.

I was being quite harsh on Death Proof, its not too bad, just not a patch on Planet Terror.
As you say the car chase is excellent, and QT has always been a genius when it comes to adding a soundtrack to his images.

I love Deathproof too. It's one of this most watchable films I think. Really need to get round to watching Whip It actually, I'm quite a fan of Roller Derby so am interested to see that film.

I just watched the bluray of Phenomena. Absolutely loved it, having only seen it once a few years back. Fantastic looking transfer of an absolutely bat-s**t crazy film.

I really like Death Proof It's definitely not a patch on his other films though.

I agree about the car chase and the soundtrack but felt Kurt Russell was overacting a little too much. As for the 'annoying dialogue', it seemed as if Tarantino was simply rehashing the breakfast table scene from Reservoir Dogs and the women, in both scenes, were bizarrely speaking like Tarantino only with female voices!

I know this is something for a different/new thread, but I feel as if he has regressed as a filmmaker since Reservoir Dogs/Pulp Fiction/Jackie Brown and don't really rate his more recent films from Kill Bill to Inglorious Basterds.

Is that Franco's Faceless, with Telly Savalas and Anton Diffring?

An underrated gem.

People always slate Jess, but he has made some very good films.
