Poltergeist The Legacy - Season 1

March 8, 2010 - 4:19 am No Comments

Poltergeist The Legacy - Season 1 I recently read all three reviews in this series and I have to disagree completely! It’s rubbish! The first five minutes on Disc 1 and I was surprised at how bad it was all!

Actors shit shit and special effects. He gave me a chance, but although he never became more interested. Remember when you used to go to your local video store to rent a VHS or DVD and you wanted was always rented by someone else?

There was always a dubious left that was always there and always wondered if it was good? Well that’s all, and believe me it’s not good!

It’s shit! Not that I’m in RAM that is bad in the throat.

It is only after seeing the 4400 series that I am totally disappointed. Good idea of the special effects, actors and shit shit!

Lord Of The Flies

March 4, 2010 - 9:28 am No Comments

Lord Of The Flies This movie was disappointing. Just had too many players, none of which has come to know quite well.

Some were good, namely the lead role and 2 Pinky same, most were average at best. The type of film is missing, the adult actors, which I suppose is the point of it.

It has a very mid 80’s Swing to the same private education. There are some good looking guys running Yound just underwear! But that does not really do it for me and if it does, I would stay clear as much potential with a great original story, but so little of the execution.

Platoon

February 25, 2010 - 7:00 pm No Comments

The Vietnam War is brutal, but in reality exposed by Oliver Stone in the war movie. Unlike many war films, Platoon contains no heroism.

Instead, it shows the ugliness of war and how the line between good and evil slightly drawn, when humans are extended to their limits of tolerance. The film shows how different individuals choose to cope with the pressures of war. In the pack falls and dies, so does Taylor, the young soldier who is telling the story are gradually losing youthful idealism and beliefs that had come with.

When he finally left Vietnam, it is concluded that only the struggle against war per se. A very powerful film that owes much to the excellent direction and strong performances by Tom Berenger, Willem Dafoe and Charlie Sheen.

21 Grams

February 14, 2010 - 1:27 pm No Comments

This is a brilliant film, with excellent quality, a strong storyline and is definitely one to be seen. The main disadvantage is the initial half hour or so where we are thrust head first into the narrative.

The editing techniques are a bit over the top, jumping between the main characters, showing different points in time, and therefore quite difficult to say when these events are actually happening. It really requires a lot of intellectual capital from the beginning! I would recommend that ultimately, it’s worth the initial effort spent, as everything begins to develop and come together very well.

The performance of Penn, Watts and Del Toro is exceptional, and are undoubtedly a major reason why this movie works.Not If you’re looking for some entertainment, but if you’re looking for something that little bit heavier, then 21 grams is the movie for you.

De-Lovely

February 1, 2010 - 4:19 pm No Comments

I saw this movie to see Kevin Kline in action (excellent) and to learn more about Cole Porter. Unfortunately the movie is a bit thin on the man himself - no doubt knowing he had an amazing marriage (she has played very well by Ashley Judd) and his music was very popular and durable, but why write that kind of music?

Why was he in Paris? Why do people devote their lives to care for him?

I do not feel I know the man at all, although I found myself saying on a number of songs, “Oh, that was one of her so well?”

Kiss Me, Stupid

Kiss Me, Stupid Kiss Me, Stupid (1964) Directed by Billy Wilder and reviewed by Richard Bowden, 9 out of 10 based on the Italian stage comedy L'′Oro della Fantasia (Time for Fantasy), “Wilder Kiss Me, Stupid! Appeared after a long career of hits by the director, culminating with a hat trick in the apartment for which he won an Oscar for each one as producer, director and co-writer, respectively.

In the years that followed, however, the reputation of the director, was struck, he was responsible for several films then less favorable reception: (1966 The Fortune Cookie), another personal favorite of mine in the Private Life of Sherlock Holmes ( 1970), Avanti! (1972) and after these, in 1964, so perhaps his most outrageous single, Kiss Me, Stupid.

Widely regarded at the time as a “mistake” by a respected talent, the latter title was immediately condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency, and banned in several cities. Even its original distributor United Artists washed his hands of the film, giving it a limited version of the art through a subsidiary of the movie. Many of these films were later found critical rehabilitation.

Kiss Me Stupid has also found a growing number of advocates, a new generation of viewers to discover their unique tone of joy in reruns on TV night. At a time when the double meaning can be king, Wilder’s film, full of visual and verbal sexual advances, and its ironic irreverence toward traditional values and customs, has acquired an importance that it never had before.

Times have gone a little from the brigade were stuffed shirt shocked by what was then viewed as wanton immorality Wilder’s film, its supposed vulgarity, his point of view of fidelity jaundice. These days the cynicism so characteristic of the director and hence removed the nth seems modern entertaining, while the center of Dean Martin, parodic self-portrait of me satiriasis’El sa habit.

If I skip one night a week I like a headache) can be viewed as one of his most memorable performances - probably because it runs close to home in contemporary eyes than some of his other appearances over now safely packaged. Peter Sellers was originally cast as Orville Spooner, the eternally optimistic and always jealous, singer and songwriter, 62 unexploded ordnance from pop feverishly named Climax, Nevada.

2147. It was one of the great what-if casting choices and went so far as shooting some scenes obviously very played before, for various reasons, the star withdrew. The decision left the plum role to Ray Walston, allowing his best actor on the screen.

Blessed with marriage to a charming woman, Spooner and friend Barney (Cliff Osmond regular Wilder) make your time in a unique opportunity has come when you stop the famous singer “Dino” outside the city of his anything to your car. Stalling the big man while he and his hilarious layers, egg melodious misfire (I’ma poached or without a piece of toast / I am a Yorkshire pudding or without meat roasting ..) the two eventually develop a plan that , on a pretext of jealousy, Spooner’s wife is replaced by Polly, the local host Pistol (Kim Novak), as an ally to seduce the artist in the acceptance of your material.

Meanwhile, Spooner’s wife, certainly a big fan of Dino, but outside his presence and the plot in hand, just drowning their sorrows and went to sleep it off in Polly’s trailer. Later that evening, unexpectedly rejected by Polly and her feelings for the errant tunesmith, singer rampant so unexpectedly finds himself alone with the woman .. In hindsight, Wilder s film is an ideal vehicle for the postmodernists.

It only starts with a track that is full of meaningful elements (a giant, upright arm of the crane is the first of the view of the camera after the drafting Las Vegas Sign CO), but the film also works hard to deconstruct celebrity , family life and the value of marriage. By way of Warm Springs, Climax Paradise Valley is a place of conventional morality, where Spooner happens to be married to the prettiest girl in the city: Zelda (Felicia Farr, for some other regular Wilder, Jack Lemmon s wife).

The Best Years Of Our Lives

January 16, 2010 - 11:55 am No Comments

The Best Years Of Our Lives Most of the movies that were made in five to ten years after World War II that is almost ‘post-apocalyptic “feel to them. This especially applies to European films, most of which was’ The third man ‘, but there are some American works that capture the same atmosphere.

This is one of them.We follow the fate of three U.S. soldiers - army, navy and air force - one of which has been physically marked by war, one with emotional scars, while a third has emerged relatively unscathed. The film examines these characters in their attempt to re-adjust to civilian life. There are some great performances here, while others are typical for the 1940 film and keep the less attractive aspects of theatrical acting.

The three male protagonists are all very good at their roles.The only real problem with the film is its length. Although that is three stories, not really feel like it should be two hours long. I’m sure I could have easily been cut to 120 minutes and has been better for him.

But as it stands, is still an excellent film about an interesting topic.

A Kiss Before Dying

January 15, 2010 - 5:02 am No Comments

A Kiss Before Dying When music and bright colors came at first, I thought I had misread the genre, but this movie turned out to be a delight for lovers of noir. Wagner is excellent as the cool, social climber and his appearance is too perfect, giving it a cool glow.

The film is full of tension and acts as a sub-Hitchcock complete with blonde / brunette sisters, mother, and false alarms that disturb and alarm sounds. The cast is perfect and besides being a dark interesting in itself, the film also offers social history in its style and period. I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did, but the melodrama and black combinations make it fun and interesting.

Performances by Mary Astor as the mother and girlfriend Joanne Woodward as complete a Hunter viewing.Jeff nice plays in his eccentric professor type, but not at the expense of a fine set piece.

Salvador Based on a true story of the beginning of 1980 Oliver Stone’s Salvador, this is the story of photojournalist Richard Boyle (James Woods) who decides to return to the troubled country to find work with Dr. Rock (Jim Belushi), a former friend that he promised money to. However, the arrival of a student is shot in front of them and Boyle realizes the problems that countries have deepened.

Caught between the need to make money and reputation as an alcoholic and self-styled “weasle” Boyle believes it is a struggle to find work and get to the bottom of the corrupt political situation.Added which has fallen in love with a compression of age and not have their legal papers and gets on the wrong side of most of the dangerous world. Sometimes the historical and political context can be complex and difficult to follow and some scenes are strong and is horrible.

Yet James Wood impressive performance as a hopeless character trying to reform is impressive, with the fantastic sordid Belushi makes it an Oliver Stone film, the better.
