Happy Face 29 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Manchurian Candidate and Along came a Spider...quite enjoyed both 180412[/snapback] Which Manchurian candidate? I've only seen the Frank Sinatra one and was considering the remake. Meryl Streep is generally worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen the Frank Sinatra one and was considering the remake. Meryl Streep is generally worth watching. 180423[/snapback] I prefer the Sinatra one but remake is canny. Sinatra, Janet Leigh, Angela Lansbry (that spellings probably miles off) and the other bloke who's name escape me are all better than Washington, Streep & what's his name. There is no real comparisson to the Janet Leigh character. I think if you combined the two you would have one hell of a film though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1216 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Ah...Once upon a time in Mexico...slightly different film. Forgiven. 180399[/snapback] That is a fucking atrocious film and I usually love Johnny Depp. Once Upon A Time In The West is a classic. Payback is canny but Mel Gibson really is no Lee Marvin!

Payback is canny but Mel Gibson really is no Lee Marvin! 180436[/snapback] I meant John Woo's Paycheck, I appear to be on a bit of a roll. I was trying to be kind about the movie I though Luke had bought, I was also not a fan, and am also a fan of Depp. Although I do think he only really plays himself, it's a good self to play.

It's just one that you disliked most. 180442[/snapback] Not seen it but the phrase "mixed reviews" springs to mind. By the way HF, have you heard any comments re: 'A Scanner Darkly'? It's an excellent book and I like the idea of the cartoon effect (for want of a better description). Never too sure about Keanu Reeves though.

Happy Face 29 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Is it Tarantino or Miramax that choose to fleece his films for every penny? I think there's 3 Pulp Fictions, 2 Jackie Browns, 12 or so Reservoir Dogs. Kill Bill was stretched over 2 filmsm, each with an initial vanilla disc, then a special edition to follow, then the thetrical release of the combined film, then that on DVD...

FACTATHON! If that's your benchmark then the puerile drivel on daytime US TV is some of the best entertainment in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It amazes me that anyone could prefer Paycheck over Sin City. If you are happier with the standard chase, loud explosion, big orchestra, fast cuts to give the illusion of a fast moving film, guy and girl get it on action shit that gets endlessly reproduced Paycheck will provide you with the same enjoyment as any of the others like The Island or I, Robot. I've never seen anything like Sin City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the portrayal of the women in it, how is it not a wankfest? A plot and vaguely believeble acting helped the movies you've mentioned, by the way.

A plot and vaguely believeble acting helped the movies you've mentioned, by the way. 180470[/snapback] It might well be a wankfest, but all the women in it were strong individuals who gave the blokes as good as they got. They might have wore skimpy outfits, but there was no gratuitous sex scene that dragged out for 15 minutes and served no purpose but titillation, like you get in the average hollywood actioner. Those scenes offend me more than anything in Sin City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
