Re: rate the last movie you saw
Oppenheimer (8/10) I wasn't sure I'd like this movie -- I've found Christoper Nolan's films very hit and miss (and his body of work generally overpraised). But with Oppenheimer , Nolan has fashioned an excellent picture that provides insight into a very compelling -- and important -- series of hist...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Highlander: Endgame -- in glorious DVD! (6.5/10) Yeah, I know, "why did you watch this ?" I bought the DVD to send to a friend of mine who loved the Highlander TV series (and also enjoyed the original film), and I figured it's a used disc anyway, why not just "make sure it isn't defe...

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd
Zimmer has become a parody of himself.
And I see he's dragged out that electric cellist again, who of course got where she is on musical talent -- it had nothing to do with her looks or provocative selfies...

Re: AMADEUS 4K Theatrical Version Finally Ready For Release
YAY!!!!
I absolutely detest the expanded version of this film. Yes, a few scenes are interesting and revealing, but they mostly just slow the film down. There is about half an hour of extra footage in the expanded cut, isn't there?
UHD disc to follow, I assume?

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd
That may well be true. I wasn’t saying he isn’t.
What I am getting at is that he should concentrate more on the visual storytelling, instead of talking our ear off with boring, interminable dialog scenes which do nothing to advance the narrative.

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd
^^ Well, in a way, I agree with him -- in a technical sense. Cinema is, after-all, visual storytelling, and the less a movie is reliant on dialog to tell its story, the more purely "cinematic" it is. Of course that doesn't mean "less dialog=better movie" -- A Man For All Seasons ...

Re: HORIZON: Costner's two-part western epic
Shame it's John Debney scoring this but what can you do, pickings are slim. Wish Costner had offered this to Bruce Broughton, or James Newton Howard (who did a killer score to Wyatt Earp ). Still, it ain't a Zimmer Drone. True. But I re-watched The Passion again last year, and I have to say the sco...

Re: JOKER 2 Costs $200 Million!
Found it hilarious the "gritty" JOKER is being supplanted by JOKER 2's $200 million musical extravaganza budget (complete with $25 mil payday for Joaquin Phoenix)...over 3x the budget of the hugely overpraised original. A musical ? Since the first one was a ripoff of Taxi Driver and The K...

Re: BEATLES Movies (Yes, 4!) Coming From Sam Mendes
Where's the Boy George movie? That's what I want! :mrgreen: But in all seriousness, I'm not sure Beatles movies are destined to be the sure-fire hits someone of Mendes' generation assumes they will. About a decade ago, I mentioned George Harrison to a friend of mine who was in her 20s. She responded...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
^^ I've never seen this film, but I can't say I was exceedingly wowed or moved over any Robert Altman movies. He seems to have been a favorite of cineastes and critics, and emblematic of "great American cinema" in the 1970s -- by all those people who blamed Lucas and Spielberg for "ru...

"'...full of battle scenes that rival Peter Jackson’s 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.' "
Well that battle scene literally gave me a migraine. Pass on Dune II.
