Funny action comedy set in the future."I'm gonna make you regret that for the rest of your life, all 2 seconds of it" - maybe misquote but close enough.Repo Man and Demolition Man both rock. Repo Man is better than Death Proof by a country mile."Past is over John, time for something new and improved!" "Its a brand new world, sorry you gotta go!"

appetite4illusions Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Val Kilmer is the man.Sly have you ever had a chance to see Wonderland?I thought it was Val's best performance since Morrison. Not to mention a pretty great movie that taps into the seedy life of John Holmes who PTA largely based Boogie Nights on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring it.Over The Top 2 is a certainity.But if he wanted to have some less action oriented movie success Repo Man might be fertile territory for Rocky, I mean Stallone.Ninth Gate - Depp/PolanskiGreat film.Bitter Moon was great as well.

wasted Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I just watched Heavenly Creatures. Again. Godamn, it's glorious. There nudity in that movie isn't there? Well, Kate Winslet's teenage breasts are briefly visible in the bath scene. But on the Winslet nudity meter, it doesn't compare to Jude or Little Children. But it's an unbelievably great film.Who else is in that. I'm sure I've seen it.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110005/Was it filming in this really steamy way with this Preacher guy coming to stay in the family house. It sound familiar but I thought someone else was in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I saw King of California - which was crazy ass.Great Debaters - I thought it was boring, sort of redundant, like a movie that came out in 1989 or something.The Brothers Solomon - hilarious, if a bit immature.I've got that Hitman movie, you know the video game - must be horrible...

Angelica Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Was it filming in this really steamy way with this Preacher guy coming to stay in the family house. It sound familiar but I thought someone else was in it.No preachers. It's about a couple of girls in New Zealand in the 50s who ended up killing one of their mothers. Based on a true story. Captures the hormonal wackiness of teenage girls as well as any film ever has. There's also some lesbian stuff if that helps jog your memory.

wasted Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Yeah, the movie I'm thinking of is not Heavenly creatures. The one I'm think of is sort of colonial British period drama. I need one name or just a the title... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2008-04-01/Filmmaker Jules Dassin has died following a short illness. He was 96. The American director passed away in an Athens, Greece hospital on Monday. Dassin, who is best known for his Oscar-winning 1960 movie Never On Sunday, was married to the late Greek actress and culture minister Melina Mercouri. Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis says, "Greece grieves the loss of a rare human being, an important creator and a true friend. His passion, energy, fighting spirit and nobility will never be forgotten." Dassin started his career as an actor and theatre producer; his breakthrough came when he became an assistant to legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock in 1940. He moved to France in the early 1950s after he was named as part of Hollywood's "communist faction" during a House Of Representatives Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) hearing. Dassin went on to marry Mercouri, who starred in his Never On Sunday, which won the Oscar for Best Original Song and for which Dassin received two Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Writing, Story And Screenplay.He also directed Rififi, hands down the greatest heist film ever made.

wasted Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) Got it!!!!It's called Sirens. Not Heavenly Creatures. There's a ton of dramas on Amazon. In the end it was Hugh Grant that was the key word.Sirens is great movie. Very erotic. Edited April 1, 2008 by wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Oh, I've seen that. With Elle McPherson and Portia DiRossi. Although I thought Kate Fischer, the more zaftig one was the most beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I've always mixed these two movies up. I see Heavenly Creatures is on and think it's Sirens and I'm disappointed. Not to say its a bad movie, it's better than Sirens probably. Peter Jackson directed it didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yes, it's Peter Jackson. And it's way better than Sirens. Less nudity, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I thought Kate Fischer, the more zaftig one was the most beautiful.Way back when I was 12yrs old, Kate Fischer hosted a kids tv show here in Australia called What's Up Doc? (it had bugs bunny cartoons). She would wear the most inappropriate stuff you could possibly imagine for a kids show. Massive amounts of cleavage, fishnets, even a schoolgirl outfit one time. Fuck I loved that show... bugs bunny cartoons and jacking off material all in the same half hour.Later on she married James Packer for his money.

But I like to be soothed by Sirens.That Fischer chick sounds like an Australian version of Cat Dely or Amanda DeCabenet - just go to work from the club in your hooker boots.

nameless_girl Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 After watching it for a third time, I can honestly say that I do not understand why Exotica isn't lauded as Egoyan's masterpiece instead of The Sweet Hereafter. Does anyone else think it is the most gorgeous film of his ever? By the way, look at Guillermo del Toro's IMDb entry; how many projects is the man going to be working on in the 2008-2010 period?! Nine producing credits, and five directing, with only one film overlapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtitled though, right?Yeah, it is subtitled, which was actually much less of a hinderance than I expected it to be. I was also surprised to see that the cinema was completely full! I wasn't expecting that, as the fact it's in Spanish can put a lot of people off.Here in Glasgow it was on in Cineworld, the main cinema in the city centre. I wonder why it's not showing in more places in London? Seriously, if you can get to a showing, go and see it- despite being a complete wuss with scary films, I can tell you I really enjoyed it and thought it was a fantastic film. It's not like your usual 'horror' film, with a massive body count and lots of "Boo! Gotcha!" moments. This was really tense, mysterious and creepy throughout. It's all about the waiting, which really makes it more terrifying than a lot of 'scary' films; I spent an hour and a half waiting for the next scary moment to happen so I could finally relax for a millisecond before waiting for the next scary moment after that.Roger Ebert explains it better than me:"Hitchcock was very wise about this. In his book-length conversation with Truffaut, he used a famous example to explain the difference between surprise and suspense. If people are seated at a table and a bomb explodes, that is surprise. If they are seated at a table, and you know there's a bomb under the table attached to a ticking clock, but they continue to play cards -- that's suspense. There's a bomb under "The Orphanage" for excruciating stretches of time."I really highly recommend it to anyone. Even though I almost cried at one point from being so scared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
