You know me - way to early for my computer usage...really crimps my style ;) :lol:
Mr. Vandemar, Good rating :thumbs_up. I love this film and bought it a number of months back, for my own collection - hadn't seen it in years - wonderful!Quote:

It was very deep and thoughtful and the acting was first-rate. Terrific
Hi LadyWentworth, I don't know anyone else has seen this film. I love this film and have watched it a number of times now. I think Pacino's acting of Richard III is marvelous. He fit the role very well; only wish I could see the whole play, without the interuptions, but the entire film is a learning experience and so entertaining. Did you find it on DVD? I had to settle for VHS, but I still love it so I am fortunate to have found it. I have the play on CD set with KB playing Richard - also wonderful! When I get a new computer I can send you a copy (an pray it gets to your doorstep this time;) ).Quote:

After all these years, I finally saw it. It was on TV the other night. I thought they were all pretty good, but Pacino really did stand out in there. As he really should considering he IS Richard! :) I thought it was a very good film. My only major problem was the choice of Winona Ryder. That just seemed odd. Don't even get me started on the delivery of her lines! :rolleyes: Actually, it is on DVD. I only know this because as soon as I see a movie I have to then rate it on Netflix. :p Kenneth as Richard? That is interesting. I honestly cannot picture him as Richard (even if it is just listening to his voice performance). Naturally he is good, though, right? ;)Quote:

Hannibal - it was on tv when I was in there, talking to my mum. Well... I watched most of it, when I wasn't hiding or muting the sound :lol:. Absolutely wonderfully horrid. Great film, which is why its so bad! I wanted to stop watching but I couldn't!! :p
9.5/10 simply because it was so... icky... but so well done

Sweet Jesus do I love that movie.
Really long, but it was so entertaining.
It was kinda sad how the Joker had to carry the whole movie through though D:
The Dark Knight was awesome! The best comic book adaption to date. In Campbell's the Power of Myth the interviewer ask him if the Myths are still valid for adults or do new ones need to be created and I think Nolan has done a great job converting childhood icons to adulthood. I will be seeing this in the theaters again. I think the Joker was the inciting force of the film, but Harvey Dent and Gordon had great parts in the film. Bruce Wayne/Batman had just the right amount of screen time since the story asked whether Gotham could survive without Batman and could Harvey Dent take over Batman's mantle, so it was important to not place the focus on Batman.Quote:

Harvey was the crusading forerunner for Justice, that rare White Knight, only to be shot straight to hell and start flippin' coins and blowin' men straight to pieces.
And then you got the true hero, that outcast vigilante. That elusive Dark Knight that sticks to his morals through and through.
It was a pretty ironic Ying Yang.
Wanted 2/10
Total total rubbish.
How can two bullets curve around one person and meet? half way? They're not on the same trajectory!
Never has a movie with so many chases, violence, fights, cars and general cool stuff bored me as much as this one.
I did like it up until the extended training sequence, hence the 2 marks.
Back to my library computer again...what a pain. Hi Lady Wentworth, soooo glad you finally got to see it. I had to settle for a used tape but I would invest in the DVD if that becomes available - I will have to track it down when I get a new computer and up and running once again at home. For now my time is so limited on here.Quote:

Yes, indeed the CD set with Branagh is wonderful - beyond good! I have listened to it so many times now I know nearly all the lines, well; as the come up. I especially love the scene when Richard dreams of all the people he has had murdered - the appear as ghosts. That scene is so awesome.
Branagh did the play for a time on stage. I have seen photos on the Compendium site of him playing the role - I must admit they look rather strange - it appears sort of demented. I guess Richard was and to some extend this is but one interpretation. The play is one of my favorites of Shakespeare's, can you believe it? It is like a good murder mystery or thriller, don't you think with lots of pychological stuff going on.
The Dark Knight 9/10 I wasn't planning to see this., but it was very good, and very intense.

That's really a rare treat! 9/10
