F.I.S.T. (1978)

Nice records of the the industrial sights of Cleveland in this one. Only Walter Hills Trespass (that plays in the Suburbs of St. Louis) brings that on screen with equivalent artistic gift.

A Life Less Ordinary (1997)

Was funny and I enjoyed it like the most Danny Boyle movies.

The International (2009)

Very suspenseful showdown, a good cast and nice records of the cities make it a must-watch imo.

The Bubble (2022)

Wow.

This movie really sucks. It's just awful. I kept checking the current running time as the movie went along wondering how much time had been wasted. 20 minutes, it's going to get better right? 45 minutes, wow that's a lot of unfunny stuff. More than hour into it and I was still waiting for it to get better.

Finally the last 20 minutes (of a 2 hour movie not including credits) were actually decent but it doesn't come anywhere close to saving the film.

This is just terrible. I bet they had a lot of fun making it and probably amused themselves but I find that these types of parodies or satires (or whatever the proper term for this type of film might be) never work.

When the end came and there was some mention about the "endings of films" I had already been thinking the same thing just before that came up which was exactly right.

Makes me think that that was the whole point of the film and they're laughing at us for making us sit through this awful 2 hours.

And it debuted on April 1st on Netflix.

Well don't I feel like the April Fool.

All The Old Knives - Now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Don't watch any trailers or read anything about this movie. I didn't. Just go in blind like I did.

I really, really enjoyed this film. Just finished watching it on Amazon Prime. I hadn't watched any of the trailers or read anything about it. I just knew that a new movie was premiering on Prime today starring Chris Pine.

I'm warning you now that this isn't an action movie. There isn't any real action in it at all. Don't let the word Romance throw you off in the OP of the thread Amazon Prime - All the Old Knives - Streaming April 8, 2022

This is more of a Mystery and Suspense kind of film.

That Plot description in the OP there is awful as well. This isn't a slow, boring story. This takes place in a few different settings that goes back and forth from 2012 and 2020.

Although I was almost positive early on as to what was going on...I don't want to say too much, or anything at all really, not even in a spoiler, it still kept me guessing and doubting myself.

A certain aspect of it reminded me of another movie from decades ago which I also love and I was really hoping this would go that way as well.

Check it out. I hope you enjoy it as well!

Good to see Chris Pine back - I always liked him. Thanks for your recommendation - will check it out

Yes, please do! I can't recommend it enough. However, now you need to pretend that I said it's garbage so you don't go in thinking it's going to be the greatest movie ever released.

I think you know most Chris Pine movies, but If U don´t I recommend to watch Carriers and Z for Zachariah. I liked these ones very much.

The Hound of the Baskervilles 1939 / The Hound of the Baskervilles 1959.

My overview on both versions of The Hound of the Baskervilles…



The Hound of the Baskervilles 31st March 1939 7 out of 10

Basil Rathbone captures the character perfectly like the book.

Sharp, arrogant and pompous…. Even his cocaine habit is mentioned

At the end “Bring me the needle, Watson”.

Nigel Bruce’s Watson is problematic as he comes across as someone on

The edge of vascular dementia with Holmes acting like his Nurse in a care home.

Watson is fun but far removed from the book.

The film moves at a cracking pace and the characters are well versed.

Kwai Chang Caine’s dad as a creepy Butler and the Barrymore’s relation is

Radically different from the Hammer film. Even Richard Greenes Baskerville

Is a very lightweight character here more Mills and Boone than an entitled

Owner of an estate.

The Stapleton’s are portrayed radically differently to the Hammer film

And the connection to Baskerville is done better in the Hammer film

With the missing portrait and webbed hand…. The clues are not as sharp

And well defined in this film as they are in the Hammer version.

Overall the production values are great and I’d give the film 7 out of 10.



The Hound of the Baskervilles 4th May 1959 10 out of 10

Right away this film is a different ball game. Pure all out horror and in my

View probably the best adaption of any Holmes Novel.

Peter Cushing’s Holmes and André Morell hit it off and like

The violin he plays the right notes and in the right order. Peter like Basil

Gets Holmes right and Watson here is a quiet intellectual far removed

From the bumbling fart from the 40’s movies.

Christopher Lee excels as the Sir Henry Baskerville capturing the arrogance

And power of the character.

And like all the characters in this film has a weakness. His heart in this case.

(A note perhaps to Lee’s real life surgery).

The Horror is fantastic, the opening Curse scene, the spider, the atmosphere

On the Moors.

All the characters excel from Stg Wilson’s Butler to the stapletons are superb

But unlike the 1939 film the radical departure from this film is the brutal nature

And end of all the characters.. No happy endings for anyone… It’s implied

That Sir Henry’s heart will give out in the end….

Spinal tap 11 here as far as I’m concerned…..

Shame Hammer never did any more…… it could have become a stapleton

Diet of the franchise…..

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
I enjoyed Donal Logue, but merging the first two games into one film was a bad idea. I'm a fan of the genre, but this was mostly a big meh.

Death Wish 2 4k Ultra blu-ray 11th February 1982

This is the brand new 4k pressing and straight off the bat
the picture and sound is astonishing. But here is where the problem lie.
It's rare I would complain about censoring a film. But this is one exception.
There are two **** scenes at the beginning that are simply nasty by any standards
They are gratuitous and should never have been filmed or put in. Anyone knowing the
film knows what I'm on about. So 2 stars knocked off and only 3 out of 5.
