B movies
THE BEGUILED is Eastwood vanity piece remade into torture porn.— July 14, 2017 1:02 p.m.
Maurice
Well, had it been made today, I'm sure they would have taken a no-holds barred approach starring maybe, Freddie Redmange, and enabler Marky would have been there to give it his stamp of approval.— July 14, 2017 10:15 a.m.
Stalker
Tarkovsky, one of the true poets of world cinema. This is a visual masterpiece, though admittedly lacking on a narrative level. Being a great admirer of ANDREI ROUBLEV, I went to see it at UCSD in the 80's on 16mm and now very much look forward to seeing it on a bigger screen. The dripping water still haunts me to this very day.— July 14, 2017 10:07 a.m.
Stalker
We don't miss you, Dunc.— July 14, 2017 9:58 a.m.
Damn hurty Apes
Ah, c'mon , Marky! You're starting to sound like your colleague Lick. You gave DAWN four stars--what's wrong with this one? WAR is actually a better movie. DAWN was cold and distant--and the human characters were rather bland with the performances being only average (except for the great Gary Oldman), not to mention a fight scene that seemed to go on and on! WAR has better acting and vet Cinematographer Michael Seresin has delivered stunning vistas! So what's wrong with the images telling the story? I could watch BATTLE OF ALGIERS with the sound turned off and STILL understand it! That in NO way invalidates it as a narrative. You're wrong on this one--and then you start to nit pick, a la Duncan Shepherd. After all, didn't Herzog once say that cinema is the art of the illiterate??? I believe this is what he meant. Though my personal favorite is RISE because of Caesar's character arc, WAR is still a solid entry in the trilogy. Hope it makes a beaucoup dollars!— July 14, 2017 9:52 a.m.
No refund on free passes?
Absolutely not. Matt Lick would be getting his money back every time.— July 12, 2017 10:46 a.m.
The Journey
The Paisley character was one-dimensional--though he might have been like that in real life. The humor didn't always work But I don't recall anything in the dialogue about gays so I don't know what you heard Mr. Marks.— July 12, 2017 10:43 a.m.
Alien: Covenant
Well, Lick, it is the David-Matthew conflict that kept things interesting beyond a visual level, with it's homo-erotic and philosophical undertones. That would have made a better, and more original movie. Still, it was solid sci-fi with references to the original ALIEN and even LAWRENCE OF ARABIA.— June 8, 2017 10:34 a.m.
The unforgettable Unforgettable?
I can count the number of Hollywood-made Armenian Holocaust movies on my left hand--not including my thumb--and when they do come out, they tank!— April 24, 2017 9:44 a.m.
Singin’ the praises of Gene Kelly
Better yet!— April 7, 2017 7:58 a.m.
