useless Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Watched Night of the Hunter, thought it was excellent, already have to consider it one of my favorites, especially liked the way certain sequences are shot from the perspective of the children so those scenes have a surreal dreamy fairytale look to them, the whole thing looks really great.

It was directed by actor Charles Laughton and it was received poorly by the critics of the day so he only directed in theatre thereafter, shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did the sleazy californian/trust fund kid better than anyone. Brandt in The Big Lebowski as well. Excellent. I always loved his role in Talented Mr Ripley, too. Saw him play Willy in Death of A Salesman on Broadway. Truly outstanding. I feel privileged to have witnessed him in that role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 We’ve decided to go back through Tarantino’s films in order, started tonight with Reservoir Dogs. I loved the film as a teenager, but It’s been over 20 years now since I’ve sat and watched it all the way through. It was great, it’s a fantastic film and I’d forgotten a fair few of the details here and there. The madness of opening a crime thriller with a 7 min scene about Madonna and tipping etiquettes. The iconic scenes, the dialogue, the music, the back stories and the causal, menacing brutality of Michael Madsen. It’s a great introduction to what became a lot of his trademarks. It’s so lean as well, and by his own latter standards it’s like watching a short film. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 If you like crime or gangster movies, Fresh (1994) is one of my all-time favourites. Samuel L Jackson at his finest, and Giancarlo Esposito is in it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely think parts 3 and 4 were just made because the cast just wanted to meet up in Marbella and **** about for a while! It even says most of the stuff that happened wasn't true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Le Pont du NordEnjoyed it a great deal, a walkthrough mystery on the streets of Paris based on an old French board game called game of the goose, which I think is similar to snakes and ladders, I thought the two leads Bulle Ogier and Pascale Ogier did a great job as their characters as well. Cloud AtlasLiked it and it seemed to get better and more gripping as it went along, even some of the of the elements of the film that might normally be seen as bad somehow worked as a positive and added to the films overall feel M (1931)About a child killer on the streets of 1930s Germany, thought that it was very well done and shot, felt very ahead of it's time wth the way they profiled the killer and explored his psychology and also that of the police and the locals wanting justice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted May 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2020 Only on VT can we go from 'Rise of the Footsoldier 4: Marbella' to 'Le Pont du Nord' without missing a beat. Gotta love this place. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted May 19, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19, 2020 Heartbreaking film about the impact of child abuse on Maori communities. Filmed in eight separate parts, all different perspectives around a central story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 It was the Mrs turn to pick film, no it really was. The Wrong Missy on Netflix. 7/10. I can't believe it, there are some really funny bits in it and I laughed out loud a lot. The main charachter (Bird), plays unhinged brilliantly.

You won't be surprised to hear that the character Inspector Lohmann is based on Berlin detective Ernst Gennat who was a pioneer of profiling and coined the phrase "serial killer". A fictionalised version of Gennat appears in season 2 and 3 of Babylon Berlin, itself and excellent TV series.

I used to be pissed that Ridley Scott effectively shot down Blomkamp's Alien concept so he could curl out his twin turds of Prometheus and Covenant. Then I saw Chappie and... well, I think the franchise is just better off dead at this point. District 9 was great though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
