Will watch Cemetery Without Crosses tonight for the first time! ;D
Hope you enjoy it. Despite it not sitting well with me, it is a very well made film.
One more post Silverā¦then you are on 1000ā¦congratulations on being the very first 1000 female poster :).
Well, may aswell make it a thousand by replying! ;D As for the first female 1000 poster, looks like unfortunately it may stay that way for some time! Thereās got to be more women out there into SWās surely!
:Dā¦yep must be more some whereā¦
MONGOL (2007, Sergei Bodrov)
A biopic of Mongol conquerer Ghenghis Kahn, apparently the first part of a planned trilogy
Left me with mixed feelings
Beautifully shot, some tremendous action sequences, and all in all well-told, but strangely uninvolving
Many have compared it to BRAVEHEART, but that film moved, this one leaves you rather cold
Still itās a good thing that a serious movie (or trilogy) is made about a man who is to most people the evil incarnate
History is written by victors, they say, but this is not true in the case of the Mongols; their history was mainly written by Chinese, Russians and Arabs, who had all reason to describe him as a cruel animal. Sure he was a conquerer, but Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Muhammad were conquerers too, and very cruel as well. But their history was written by admirers ā¦
maybe this film can change all this
I heard a few more āobjectiveā books about the man have been published lately
(Going to read one for sure)
3 out of 5
(Not really enthralled, but looking forward to part 2)
The latest Iāve seen:
The Silent Stranger
heavenās gate on MGM channel tonight
Oooh. Be careful. That one spawned the razzies. :o
But itās not a bad film
Itās not great, and itās terribly overlong, but the problem is that the cut version is nearly incomprehensible, while the full version - if overlong - makes at least sense
Iād say, watch it, 666
Just got back from the cinema after seeinga QUANTUM OF SOLACE
And how was it?
The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) has been viewed.
Eddie Coyle (Robert Mitchum) is a small time criminal who is supplying guns to a group of friends who happen to be robbing banks. Coyle at the same time is also trading information with the Police to try and lighten an upcoming prison sentance.
Film is full of supporting actors which are easily recognisable from 70ās U.S films including; Peter Boyle (sly as a fox in this one), Richard Jordan and Alex Rocco. Excellent Jazz style funk score from Dave Grusin, and very similar to scores by Lalo Schifrin, Roy Budd and Quincy Jones of the the same period. The bank robbery scenes in this are very well staged, and very tense. Film is low key and griity at the same time.
Ranks in one the best Robert Mitchum films in my view, and is also one of the best films of its kind from the 70ās.
Thankās to Sherp for the recommendation of EL REY DE LA MONTAƱA (King of the Hill, Spain, 2007) .
Defenitly a punching movie.
" the messengers" tonight
[quote=āYodlaf Peterson, post:2133, topic:372ā]Just got back from the cinema after seeinga QUANTUM OF SOLACE[/quote]saw it on tuesday. itās almost not like a james bond film. itās the darkest and most serious of the series, but itās pretty good. a slimmer, meaner bond.helps if you have seen " casino royale" though. some good action scenes.
Just finished watching LāAmerica a Roma. An excellent documentary on ex SW stuntmen actors which I found both interesting and moving. Iād recommend it any fan of the genre.
Hated: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies
Documentary about the most extreme punk rocker and performance artist ever. This guy was just so crazy. Good stuff!
