Perhaps with the exception of John Carpenter, never has a film director lost grip of their genius with more shocking results than Coppola. The man was in charge of two Godfathers, The Conversation and Apocalypse Now all within ONE decade. The fall was long and painful. Jack? Dear, oh dear... I don't see Megalopolis getting made, either.

Well, that's fair enough, innit? When Coppola hits, he REALLY hits, so I'll check it out soon enough, let you know what I think...

Any good? I'm guessing by the smiley that it is. Been panned by critics here.

Red Dragon? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Watch Manhunter instead, it's so much better. For one thing, Ed Norton's way too young to play Will Graham. Once he popped up in the movie, his age became too distracting and I couldn't enjoy it. And Brian Cox is a better Lecktor than Hopkins is Lecter...
I watched Ichi The Killer this morning while the sprog kipped - can't have kids watching that sort of thing
anyway, how was david thewlis in the movie? good acting? Originally posted by flowerchild:[..]
I have no clue how old graham is supposed to be, so that fact didn't bother me at all and I'm totally used to hopkins playing lecter. never seen manhunter, is there more goriness? lol
@harry:
guess I know that feeling. after 'the downfall' (der untergang) the cinema was completely quiet at the end... eerie

i thought Red Dragon was pretty good; granted I haven't seen Manhunter but still...it was better than Hannibal. and I haven't seen Hannibal Rising either

I realise that I'm being massively opinionated (sorry...), but I would urge you not to watch Hannibal Rising - it's a couple of hours you'll never see again. Why not watch, I dunno, Se7en again or something..?
