The movie thread

[kosmonooit]

Interested to know why you say that, I tried to watch it because it is one of the classics but I thought it was one of those movies that aged terribly.

 

Very long, very little happening, lots and lots of talking, I must have fallen asleep about 3 times, rewind and try again - eventually gave up about half-way through the movie.

 

Curious about the remake of the remake though, I like westerns so I plan to watch it.

 

 

A friend claimed that recently, although its been a while since I saw the western one ...

 

And it seems so:

 

Seven Samurai' is the film gift that keeps on giving

 

I've seen it (the b&w Samurai one) a few times, i really enjoy the style and the production and cinematography, but one persons gem of a film is another's pile of excrement ...

Just been reminded about they legend that is Yul Brynner in the 60's  Mag 7

 

How about "Westwold" ...?

Sounds a bit like face off

I suppose so. Just add a bit of warm amd fuzzy without the CGI. Not a bad movie at all for a Saturday evening's entertainment.

Watched Jaws 2 last night. Nothing like some 1978 shark horror.

I have the entire box set...Spielberg jaws is leaps and bounds ahead of the rest...2 3 and especially 4 are great comedies

Saw the new Ghostbusters over the weekend - it's as bad as everybody says it is, and they f%^&ed up the song so badly, it's even worse than the movie.

Nor even bothering...a lot of young females dig it though...can't help the stupidity of the youth

I started with low expectations and was thoroughly disappointed.

 

Stupidity is a major understatement - I don't think I have ever hated fictional characters as much as the male secretary and the Ghostbusteress Patty.

 

The saddest part was I saw in the credits that Dan Aykroyd was one of the executive producers... he must have really needed the money to back this *** and put in a cameo.

Bill Murray also put in a cameo, apparently Sigourney Weaver is in the credits, but I can't say I noticed her.

Oh god, I just found this on YouTube. Terence Hill as Dave Speed, the cop who gets superpowers. Is this the coolest superhero movie of the 80s? It might be. It just might be...

Went to watch the latest Bridgette Jones - not worth it - i like the fun frivolous aspect of the movie - but I couldn't get into this one - and the work Rene's had done on her face, i found myself more in awe of that than the plot.

Interesting article, the very old classics are often a hit & miss for me, the merits of Seven Samurai was obviously one of those lost on me.

 

Recently watched a few Hitchcock movies of the same era for the first time, thought it was brilliant even at today's standards.

pretty much - she had such a unique look previously - now she just looks leathery and pained.
