I like the Bourne trilogy (with the exception of Finney and Cox) Clint Eastwood's dollars films, for some reason car chases like Bullitt, The Driver, Transporter even though cars as objects do not interest me, I also thought Soderbergh did the Ocean's films well, but as for Some Like it Not, the film fails on every level, not just because of the lack of any humour in it, but also a complete lack of credibility from start to finish from the music hall drag queens to the unforgivable casting of Monroe, guaranteed to sink every film under the weight of her breasts. Sorry, its the same with Elvis -mention those names and I feel an earthquake coming on. And there must be some highly regarded film star who drives you into paroxysms of rage for whatever reason, maybe just the sound of their voice -?

I will explain what was wrong with it ..

(1) Titans - in myhtology the Titans (chronus) gave birth to the Olympan gods .. yet in this movie they were just like dumb ass zombies no bigger than a man or the olypmans
(2) the film lacked enough God fighting ..
(3) where was zeues thunderbolts? i mean shit your the god of thunder and you fight with chains lol

I can go on and on .. it just didnt do it for me ... it was what i call a DVD movie .. fighting scenes were good visually .. and the british guy as thesus was very hot and easy on the eye so that made it watchable lol

I dont watch chick flicks ... i like fantasy, zombie, scifi flicks it just anoys me that hollywood fuck up yet another great greek mythology ...

Prospero it means it was average ... not really cinema worthy imo , DVD or rental for sure ..

Ugh, I can't tell you how pissed I was at the remake of Clash of the Titans. What a joke!!! From your description of Immortals, I will definitely wait for this one to come out on cable.

Sorry you didn't enjoy Casino as much as I did. Love Goodfellas, Raging Bull, and Mean Streets too. Waiting for Mean Streets to come out on Blu-ray.

Casino is too long, and to me it covers issues that have been done before, and better -the problem with Mafia films is that there have been three outstanding classics by which to judge them-On the Waterfront, and The Godfather I and II. Waterfront is more historically accurate than The Godfather which is admittedly more ambitious, but Mean Streets works because it is set at a lower level and has a superb script and superb acting -Casino doesn't match up script and acting, and as far as I know, Vegas dramas never work -The Cooler was a failure; but the comedies do work -the Ocean's films. But lets not start a Mafia thread. I can't right now think of all the mafia films -I guess we would have to go back to Cagney (but not lacey)...

I guess Bette Davis - gives me the creeps - but is a pretty good actress.

And I agree Elvis films were terrible. But his early rock and roll music was and remains astonishing. (It is possible to like Puccini, Penderecki and Presley IMHO)

It is possible to like Puccini, Penderecki and Presley IMHO

Of course it is...but not in my house. I also have a broad, catholic taste in music, there just isn't room for people without talent.

Immortals 3D. Loved it.

Subjectivity Stavros..... what do you think of Dylan, Elvis Costello and, let me see, John Cage?

just watched Brighton Rock and The Firm both crap

which version of the Firm? not the shitty remake? or the original one from the 80s set in london?

I just watched lord of the rings lol

About to watch serenity while i webcam :)
