TAEGUKGI a.k.a. BROTHERHOOD - What can I say, I was absolutely blown away by this, fantastic, one of the best war movies I have ever seen.
Totally agree
I just donât know wht those guys in South Korea put in the soup, but it works, they are making some of the best cinema in the last decade.
The combat scenes in this one are just pretty amazing stuff.
And now they even have some good football players
I watched Elliott Gould as Philip Marlowe in âThe long goodbyeâ from 1973. Itâs a pretty good neo-noir even though itâs very slow paced, and Arnold Schwarzenegger has his first movie appearance in it as a mob hoodlum.
7/10.
I didnât care for that one too much. Too much pointless dialogue thrown in. None of which it seems weâre supposed to follow. Sterling Haydenâs performance is pretty much Sterling Hayden in real life at that point in time. Drunk and stoned, but still an intelligent man (judging from his Tom Snyder interviews) and good actor.

7/10.[/quote]This was the second film he was in, the first was actually a starring role in HERCULES IN NEW YORK 
rewatched the Walter Hill film âLast Man Standingâ last nightâŚhadnât seen it since its video releaseâŚthe dialogue is a bit clunkyâŚbut the gun sequences are just as impressive as what i rememberedâŚalso was nice to recognize a few Deadwood actors in there

The tall man with the mustache would be my buddy, Ted Markland! He played Deputy Bob in THE LAST MAN STANDING and had a villainous role in ANOTHER 48 HOURS. He was also in Hillâs WILD BILL. He was supposed to have a part in the pilot for DEADWOOD (which Hill directed); but, sadly health problems kept him out of it.
And then there is William âBillâ Sanderson that played E.B. Farnum on DEADWOOD. He played Joe Monday (Saloon keeper) in THE LAST MAN STANDING. Bill is a great character actor with an amazing list of credits (BLADE RUNNER, LONESOME DOVE, LONE WOLF MCQUADE, and much much more). Had the pleasure of meeting Billy in California back in 2004 (thanks to the late, great Donald S. Bruce).
I watched âDog Soldiersâ from Neil Marshall, a pretty good action triller.
I also watched âThe Descentâ and forund it overrated.
Not him Chris, I was referring to this fella, Allan Graf, I didnât know his name .
The one who had that nasty fight in the street with Dan Dority (W. Earl Brown) 
Cannibal Holocaust
Liked the moral of the story. Not that violent really.

Damn, kids today are getting inured to violence earlier and earlier. Iâve watched a heck of a lot of movie violence in my time, yet well-staged brutality, in the right context, still retains its power to shock.
I meant itâs not visually that violent. More in a psyche way.
And about kids watching more violent stuff⌠they donât. I can proudly call myself an exeption ;).

Oh yeah, Captain Turner on DEADWOOD. You actually noticed him in THE LAST MAN STANDING? Ha ha! His part is one of those âblink and youâll miss himâ bits. If I recall correctlyâŚhe just drives a truck, or something (been a long time since Iâve seen LAST MANâŚ). Funny thing is the only other Hill film I can think of that he was in is ANOTHER 48 HOURS and he played a bus driver in that one. Hill mustâve liked the way he looks behind a wheel, or something.

Not violent hummmm

Yeah, I felt sick after watching it. The guy being castrated and the woman getting raped and her head cut off (I think)⌠but the worst thing for me was the pig scene.
Not that violent at all!
My last movie
Cross of Iron (Sam Peckinpah)
Orson Welles called it one of the greatest anti war movies ever made and I wholeheartedly agree. Itâs also criminally underrated. Itâs from the German point of in the Eastern front of WWII. James Coburn stars as a cynical NCO eho is highly respected as a good soldier. Maximilian Schell as the aristocratic Prussian officer who covets winning the Iron Cross at all cost. Though he is really a coward who blackmails a homosexual officer to do his bidding. Itâs also got James Mason and David Warner. The action scenes are among Peckinpahâs best. And the editing is phenomenal. Some of the cross cut images in slow mo are especially strong. Also a nice cameo from Senta Berger.
5/5
The last half of The Toxic Avenger last night on TV.
yea, i was referring to him, as well as William Sanderson, and also the guy that played the opium addict Jimmy in DeadwoodâŚhe was in Last Man Standing as well
Dracula ( Hammer ).
Fine version all in glorious colour ! Well paced and the first of many vampire films by Hammer of course.
