plodding 2hr movie about a phillip seymour hoffman german doing surveillance on a very dodgy looking chechen dissident with a very attractive rachel mcadams lawyer "kinda" funding al qaeda by proxy of some islamic dude with a family heirloom from a not-too-convincing german willem defoe banker.
Transformers 4, pretty cool movie.
Lawrence of Arabia
The Gatekeepers (documentary)
Ha! Of course, that was the connection I was looking for. Forgot that LFN and Lucy were both Luc Besson movies. I've only seen the Lucy trailer, to date.Quote:

Bang the Drum Slowly? Of course, that's DeNiro again. Saw it when it was released so it might be pretty dated. And it might be classified less as a sports movie and more of a drama about cancer.Quote:
Have there been any great sports movies?
Actually, I liked almost all the cast. For example, I think Ron Livingstone is very underrated. But yeah, this is a case of good actors not being able to save a bad script.Quote:
The Conjuring (James Wan, 2014)... I like Vera Farmiga though. She has such haunting eyes.
Sort of have to agree with Rallycola here. Expecting bigger things, especially from the story (screenplay) but was left enjoying the cinematography, acting, etc. Here's my issue... this is just Roots Redux. I didn't see one thematic element in 12 Years that Alex Haley didn't explore in Roots, 40 years ago. Free man kidnapped from his home land, shipped to the South and sold into slavery - check. Slaves separated from spouses and kids - check. Hard work in the fields - check. Whipping - check. Lynching - check. Cruel white southern masters sexually abusing their female slaves - check.Quote:
Re: 12 Years a Slave - didn't like it at all. as with many academy award winning movies, i don't get the fuss.
All that said, I think the story of slavery in the US needs to be retold at least once a generation, and they did a nice job of it here.

I just saw In a Lonely Place. I enjoyed it because I enjoy almost all noir films that are reasonably well done. This movie stars Humphrey Bogart as a screenwriter with a volatile temperament who is the lead suspect in a homicide. The movie leads you in all directions, first convincing you of his innocence, then raising doubts and ultimately keeping you uncertain until the end. Better than average.

despite looking (obviously) aged, brosnan is also looking pretty good (physique wise). other than that, this film is one of those projects that even tom cruise obviously said no to.
so they chucked it over to pierce who obviously didn't mind a few hundred thousand, a free ticket to the balkans and a few minutes exchanging saliva with olga kurylenko. hey, i would've said yes too. as far as the movie? what movie?
