    Not a fan then

    They can drag on a bit, but I do think Pulp Fiction is a classic.

    Hahaha....Not sure I agree with Like a Song on NEVER paying to see Tarantino....but keep in mind that "Death Proof" (and Planet Terror) were made by Tarantino and Rodriguez as an homage to the B-movies that they loved from their younger days. If you're wanting to see a compelling movie with great acting, see "3:10 To Yuma." If you want a popcorn movie with intentionally bad acting and a cheesy script, see "Death Proof."


    Did you get to see it as Grindhouse, with both in a double-bill? It got pulled here by the Weinsteins (:( ) as it didn't make enough money. Hate that art should be ruled by money (mind you, just look at all the shite put out this summer for a quick $$$).

    I'll see what mood I'm in - popcorn or challenging - on the night I think.

    Absolutely. GREAT classic I'd say. But he does some Alcohol/Drugs/Sex vindication. And that's not good.

    He is rather preoccupied with violence and it's not all "acceptable", I agree. All his films have been an "18" here, which is getting pretty rare now. It usually means hard violence, terrible language, sex and drug references. All the things you mention....

    And what is it with him and feet.

    BTW, to get back on topic; The Graduate (Just on TV now)
  5. "The Bourne Ultimatum" (2007)

    Can I think of more ways to think of why Paul Greengrass is truly amazing... No, I can't.

    Issue a standing kill order on Jason Bourne, effective immediately.

    "The Night of the Hunter" (1955)

    Creepy... very creepy... like a nightmare.

    Would you like me to tell you the little story of right-hand/left-hand? The story of good and evil?
  6. Wild Hogs (2007)

    very funny. I was surprised how good it was.
  7. Went with "Death Proof" in the end.

    Loved it.

    F**k me it was violent though....
  8. Planet Terror

    An awesome movie!

    I didn't like Death Proof...
    BUT PLANET TERROR IS SO F***IN' AWESOME!
  11. Kill Bill 2- very good!!
  12. Long Post...

    Five movies over a five day period from Friday to Yesterday (Tuesday):

    "Bug" (2006)

    A regular horror film, right?... right?!

    I am the super-mother bug!

    ---

    "Nosferatu" (1922)

    The essence of Gothic horror right here. Owns Dracula -- forever.

    It will cost you sweat and tears, and perhaps... a little blood.

    ---

    "Notorious" (1946)

    Hitchcock still makes many directors today seem lame. Also, this movie makes you never want to drink coffee ever again.

    A man doesn't tell a woman what to do; she tells herself.

    ---

    "Elizabeth" (1998)

    In preparation for the continuation film, "Elizabeth: The Golden Age." From a spirited young woman to a royal leader.

    I will have one mistress here... and no master.

    ---

    "Away from Her" (2006)

    At least four people in this film deserve accolades for their performances, as well as massive props for treating the effect of a person's Alzheimer's very honestly and sympathetically without being heavy-handed or stupid.

    It's never too late to become what you might have been.
