DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER
(Second Viewing)

The 1960s for James Bond were a very prosperous time, however if I remember from my viewings of the 1970s, they weren't so. Thus begins the era of the campy Bonds, transitioning from Sean Connery to Roger Moore after George Lazenby went one-and-done. The assassins Mr. Kidd and Mr. Wint were pretty cool.

FYI - did anyone know Sammy Davis Jr had a cameo in this film? It was a deleted scene

Warning, Spoiler:
Also, for a story gap, apparently the Plenty O'Toole character played by Lana Wood, is the dead women in Tiffany Cases' pool. When Lana is thrown out the window and into the pool of the Las Vegas hotel were James is staying, the henchmen are there for Tiffany. In the deleted scene, Plenty sneaks back in while James and Tiffany do their thing and grabs Tiffany's address. Later on when James is waiting for Tiffany at her place after she was to pick up the diamonds, Plenty's been killed in the pool.

I agree top film, didn't John Candy die while he was filming this film.


Don't think it was this film mate!

I think it was a film called WAGONS EAST although i may be mistaken there?

SNATCH
(Nth Viewing)

One of my two favorite comedies of all-time along with THE BIG LEBOWSKI. This film introduced me to Jason Statham, Vinnie Jones, and Guy Ritchie. I loved Brad Pitt as the fast-talking gypsy boxer. A wonderful story and cast. I'm curious what our British members think of it?

THE ITALIAN JOB

Another great ensemble cast in the style of OCEAN'S 11. I'm hoping they can finally get THE BRAZILIAN JOB off the ground soon

Great film Irish. not quite as good as LOCK,STOCK but much better than REVOLVER.

Brad Pitt indeed steals the show \:\)

I've only seen LOCK, STOCK once and it wasn't nearly the show SNATCH was. Although I do have to revisit it again.

Possibly my view is inluenced because LOCK,STOCK came out first and was such a success. SNATCH coming second had famaliar themes,but it is still a thoroughly amusing show!

No i guess not as such. Drama/comedy i would class it. There are certainly good laugh out moments in all Guy Ritchie's movies.


Or maybe it is just my sick sense of humour........

THE TRANSPORTER 1/2
(Second Viewing)

The film that catapulted Jason Statham into the action spotlight didn't really do it for me. I liked the second one better and hopefully the third will be as good. Shu Qi really sizzled on the screen and I wish she'd do more English speaking films.

THE TRANSPORTER 2
(Second Viewing)

Maybe it's the American in me but I like Statham fighting on my home soil as opposed to France/Europe. Some of the action was a little cheesier than the original but I still enjoyed it more.

CRANK
(Third Viewing)

I give this 4 stars because for me, it's an action classic. This is how action movie should be set up. There's hardly ever a dull moment, always something exciting going on from robbing and killing people to public sex scenes. My favorite Statham film by far!

THE FINAL SEASON 1/2
(First Viewing)

Another wonderfully told baseball story from director David M. Evans who also just so happened to have directed THE SANDLOT. This film was more of a cross between FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS and FIELD OF DREAMS. I have never heard of it (I think it may be a direct-to-DVD release), but for those baseball fans out there, I would recommend giving this a shot when it comes out on April 15th.

SUPERHERO MOVIE
(First Viewing)

One of the better spoofs from Fox Studios as of late. It wasn't as silly and I thought had some more adult humor which probably made it more enjoyable (it didn't just cater to the 13-year-old age group).

3-Iron (2004 - Ki-Duk Kim) **
I did not connect to this movie much on any level. An interesting plot premise and a thematic exploration of bonding with strangers are overshadowed by stylistic execution which almost completely destroys all the credibility of the movie, except for the ending which restores some of it. Nice imagery throughout.

All about my mother (1999 - Pedro Almodovar) ***
This is an entirely women-centric film. But again some of the women are not really biologically "women", many of the important characters are transvestites. This film is about sexuality, motherhood and gender and deals with these themes directly without trying to couch them in beautiful symbols and subtlety. But for the ambitious way in which the film delves into these issues, the ending is somewhat tame.

Does watching so many movies affect you beyond the actual viewing time? I mean do you think about them afterwards a lot or can you switch on and off your involvement with the film at will?

RESERVATION ROAD
(First Viewing)

A pretty disappointing drama considering the cast of Joaquin Phoenix and Jennifer Connelly. The story seems to dance around the obvious forever and when it finally comes to ahead, it's over.

I guess it just depends on how much the film affects me. For example, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN and THERE WILL BE BLOOD I thought about a lot after their viewing since I was so blown away by them. I hope that answers your question.

RESURRECTING THE CHAMP
(First Viewing)

I thought the film tried to be more than what it was. It tried to be very emotional and touching and I just didn't find it as such. Also, Samuel L. Jackson was almost like Dave Chappell as Tyrone from CHAPPELL SHOW without the white lips and constantly scratching himself.

That's the difference, I don't want to "limit" myself. I try to enjoy a wide range of films. Besides, who's the end-all-be-all whom decides a good film from a bad film?

WHO. \:p

YOU are, to yourself at least!

After SO many horrible films, I'd think you'd be able to narrow down some commonalities to actually avoid some of them -- in favor of better ones!

I'm sure you like something other than Harry Potter and LOTR, so please watch and recommend what YOU may consider "good" movies, and then maybe some may pay more attention. Cuz at this point, anything you mention, if even *known* to me, gets put on the "do not watch" list...

As always... it's quality, not quantity!

I love the 300. But it's coloring (if you can call it that) seems to be different from other movies. The colors are pretty dark as if my television's contrast is skewed in that direction. Does anyone know what technique they used?

LIVE AND LET DIE 1/2
(Second Viewing)

Roger Moore takes over the reigns as James Bond and I'll cut him some slack because of the huge shoes he has to fill left by Sean Connery. However, what I don't like about this Bond is his ruthless seems to have been traded for more of a sense of humor. Also, this was one of the silliest Bonds to date with the technology and the storyline in general (I wasn't a fan of the black magic angle). However, this was the film to introduce Sheriff J.W. Pepper!

Party Monster (2003 - Fenton Bailey) ***
Real life story of Michael Alig, the person who started outrageous theme parties in late 80s new york. It traces the life style of a bunch of kids that did nothing but do drugs, make fashion statements and dress up in weird costumes. A nice commentary on the hedonism and unrealistic heights to which these kids were elevated by the society, that would not last for long.
