Beautifully pieced together, but could have had a more linear progress, making a documentary easier to follow.

    I just saw that at Blockbuster and was wondering if it'd be any good. Coincidentally, I saw Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas two weeks ago. I think I'll pick it up based on your recommendation.

    Really? My order of Tarantino films from greatest to least is: Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, Jackie Brown, then Grindhouse.

    Jackie Brown was good and everything, but I prefer Tarantino's unrealistic, breakneck style (or maybe even medium) over the calm and slow pace of Jackie Brown and Death Proof. But that's just me.

    License to Kill - because it came on t.v today. I've seen it a million times but I can't help it! I'm pathetic. I'm a big James Bond fan. And Timothy Dalton is my favourite, second to Brosnan.

    Timothy Dalton? Really? I'm a pretty big James Bond fan too, though he would probably be bottom of my list. The Living Daylights was nothing to write home about. Sean Connery tops my list. I can't pass up watching when I Bond film comes on tv either, even though I could pop in the dvd any time...

    Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.

    I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.

    *Classic*, Dalton shines in his early roles: "Wuthering Heights" and "Jane Eyre". I will have to find some links to Youtube excerpts and post them for you. Both productions are wonderful. I never got into his work on the Bond films - he looks too slick for me and no one can beat Connery for charm. I love Dalton's earlier roles though. He had the most mesmerizing eyes. I own the one film, the first one; my library owns the second. I wouldn't mind owning that one, as well; it is a BBC or Masterpiece Theater production and very well done, quite true to the novel. Actress playing Jane is terrific, too.

    Came back to edit and add these links:

    There are plenty more excerpts on the site.

    "Eden is west" by Costa Gavra. Watched it 2 nights ago at the theater. I was disappointed. It is a well directed film and all but he didn't do justice to the subject matter. The story is about an illegal afghani refugee and his trials and struggles from the time he enters greece till the time he reaches Paris. This is a very important issue and i get the feeling that mr Gavras made light of it because he didn't want to make his european audience feel uncomfortable about themselves.

    "monster's ball"..a fine film but very depressing..and i still don't get why H Berre got the oskar.

    I watched, for the third time, Eyes Wide Shut the other night... 10/10
    It is one of my favorite movies of all time, and Kubrick is, as always, a genius... the music is terrific, the camera shots, the emotion within the film, etc. I think this movie is usually overlooked, but has a lot of importance in it. The intricacies of marriage, love, sexual desire, alienation, deception, betrayal... There is something so beautiful about this film, even in its most bizarre or base moments.

    I just saw it and I thought it was fantastic.

    Agreed with mono that it was a beautiful piece of work, but I think that the non-linear telling was quite fitting for Hunter S. Thompson's documentary given that it's a major part of the unique style of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, his most famous work. I'm sure the documentary director knew this and tried his/her best to emulate this aesthetic.

    9.5/10, I think.

    A great western, one of the best made in the 50's and that's saying a lot. Every aspect of the film is intelligent and bubbles with sheer honesty from the screenplay to Nicholas Ray's subtle directing. Joan Crawford is outstanding and composed one of the least stereotyped female characters in the history of cinema.

    Good choice - another classic by Stanley Kubrick! A shame he did not live long enough to see its success. Personally, I loved The Shining and A Clockwork Orange.
