Lang uses montage and cutting to depict Berlin having a sort of collective crisis because of the serial killer, the police, gangsters, mothers, etc. It is a similar thing in Jaws and Amity Island. In a way the town is the most important character in the film. Must write a pretentious essay on my theory. Moby Dick is the obvious rip off? Is also about Fake News.

RussTCB Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Watched Pitch Perfect 3 the other night just because I'd seen the other two. I actually ended up liking 3 more than 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 the House with the Clock in the walls It was very good. I love Jack Black. I was surprised to see that director/actor Eli Roth directed this movie. He even has a cameo in the movie. I think this is the first movie Eli has directed that wasn't a horror movie. Good for him. 32 minutes ago, Sosso said: Child's Play 2 This was a good Chucky movie. Then after this one the Child's Play movies started to get stupid. The cult of chucky wasn't too bad. The worse one was Chucky's kid. OMG! So bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ignore Jar Jar it ain't a half bad film really If you cut the whole Pod Race thing down by at least half and ignore Jar Jar, TPM is a very good film with a solid story line and set-up for the whole series of Star Wars.

Kwick1 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I had such high hopes for Hereditary but it fell flat on so many levels. For a truly frightening film about the difficulty of a family relation with mental illness the Mexican film Atrocious is far better. Also the movie Voices I thought captured the subject.

DieselDaisy Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Two versions of Othello, both with production difficulties, both excellent in their own way, Othello (1951) Orson Welles, made in a dark noir-European manner. A victim of some rough editing sadly but the quality shines through. Othello (1965) Lawrence Olivier as a minstrel haha (I'm surprised the pc brigade have not attempted to ban it). Tour de force of sublime acting. More stagey and faithful than above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He learned a great deal from them too. He apparently asked Gielgud what he thought of his performance, asking for critique etc and Gielgud said he gave him a number of little pointers, just about certain inflections and ways of speaking in iambic pentameter as well as stance etc and the next day, according to Gielgud, he was astonished to find Brando had not only taken on-board but perfectly executed his advice. To practise for the role he used to go and stand up on the hills behind his mothers house and yell out 'friends Romans, countrymen' and other various monologues to himself. Its almost a shame though that Brando was in it in as much as the other performances have almost been forgotten as a result, James Mason was fuckin' brilliant I thought.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Eye of the Devil 1967. I didn't realize until I watched it that actress Sharon Tate was in this movie. I felt so sad knowing that her death was so near. Terrible. The movie also starred David Niven and Debroarh Kerr. It wasn't bad. Kind of slow. Also in black and white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
