I'd really like to see Match Point, but even more than that, I'd love to see Scoop

I'll finally see Sanctimony tonight. Can't wait!

Pulp Fiction

I'm really not sure what I make of this film.

I liked it more than Reservoir Dogs, but that doesn't really say much for it, nevertheless...

It's one of my favorite movies to watch. I think the best part about Pulp Fiction is the script. The dialogue is pretty interesting, and it's quite engaging to listen to even when it's just casual chatter. The acting also helps; the main guys gave a good performances that brought the lines the right delivery. I think Travolta did the best job.

I'm torn about Pulp Fiction. I don't really like Quentin Tarantino as a director but it's hard to fault Pulp Fiction.

The Godfather trilogy - the first movie is my favorite of the series. The second one is really good, too, but it's missing something the first had. The third one...well, something went wrong with it. I liked how Copolla handled the mafia setting, unlike the way Martin Scorcese did with Goodfellas and Casino.

Scarface - a well made movie. I think I saw it in a different light than what other people do, but that's only based on hearing about it on MTV's Cribs. It seems like a lot of people see it as some badass gangster film, but I thought it was a sad story about a guy.

Battlefield Earth - funny, but probably not in an intended way.

Ultraviolet - I had heard about it being bad, but I didn't think it would be this bad. On par or below an Uwe Boll movie.

I'm not sure if it's out on DVD, but it must have been remastered in widescreen recently, because BBC2 showed it in that form a few years ago and it looked fantastic.

Nope, haven´t seen the Tv version, I saw the Director´s Cut version..

Fitzcarraldo - the second Werner Herzog film I've seen. It didn't really capture my interest too much.

Spiwak · 06-28-2006, 01:38 PM

What was the other one? Aguirre?

kuze · 06-28-2006, 01:52 PM

I have to confess a sin: yesterday I watched The Omen 666. I quite enjoyed my popcorn.

I saw V for Vendetta. Just an incredible movie, the first of the Alan Moore related films that is in every way totally awesome.

Quote:

V: Voil�*! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
[carves V into wall]
V: The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
[giggles]
V: Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
Evey Hammond: Are you like a crazy person?
V: I'm quite sure they will say so.

I must say that it's the only Alan Moore book that I haven't yet read, but I'll get my hands on it soon.

The Snapper
I just love that movie. So much love within the family.

RLacey · 06-28-2006, 02:12 PM

Cold Mountain
Hmm. Good, and yet also strange. The actual connecting plot never really went anywhere (perhaps I was expecting too much in this respect), so it's a good thing that the mini-stories within it were good. I can understand people complaining about the huge number of star cameos, meanwhile.

Yeah, one of my all time favorites. Fitzcarraldo wasn't bad, it's on the okay to good range, but the screenplay could have been better.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

They where rather average actually, especially Connery. There are so few actors in the world who don't look total fools in green screen heavy movies. Even the greats suffer for it.

With so many characters each with their standard comic book fare origin stories I just can't see why someone thought it would be possible to trim it all down to anything close to a single satisfying movie plot.

Roy Scheider in "2010" is next on my list, but first I must finish season one of Rome.
