Yes, Red and Veronique. Irene Jacob is mesmerizing.
Yup. I’m asian, and I’ll watch this film when it eventually comes out. Looks fun.
Same with Top Gun 2. We’ve waited this long, what’s a few more months?
I’ll pass on 007 though. Looks like an impending train wreck there...
Lynch’s Dune was a very creative film - the look, the ambiance, the dreaminess. I loved it. The TV miniseries was a bland by-the-numbers adaptation. It wasn’t bad, but I remember little about it.
This new Dune, while I trust the director (great effort with Blade Runner), from the early pics, doesn’t instill a sense of awe in me yet. We’ll see.
Maybe it takes a bit of insanity to make a truly great Dune.
I love this film. Very mesmerizing cinematography. One of my favorite New Wave efforts. It is unlike most anything else.
I was a kid when this film first came out. I didn’t even know the word celibacy so it didn’t bother me and I enjoyed the film all the same. :)
I just saw A Simple Favor. I thought it was a fun, witty, well-made film. Same director as GB 2016.
Is GB2016 really that bad? I have never seen it but I didn’t think the original was all that great. It was certainly no Back to the Future. I do understand the original has a lot of fans, though. I wonder how much of the hatred to the reboot is due to fan backlash vs due to actual quality of the film itself?
So basically, Days of Future Past was all for naught. The mutants were essentially wiped out anyways. Such nihilism...
I love Alice Doesnt Live Here Anymore. What a great film! Much more enjoyable than Taxi Driver, which is so darn bleakz
What’s wrong with book #5? That’s the only one I haven’t read yet but I don’t want to waste my time if it’s a subjective 2/10!
Try “Quarantine.” It is a virus / zombie film done in the Blair Witch style. Pretty creepy!
Give us some recommendations!
For outbreaks, I like Panic in the Streets, Contagion.
For zombies, I like Night of Living Dead, Evil Dead trilogy, Ash vs Evil Dead, 1st season of Walking Dead, The Wailing.
For apocalyptic, I like Waterworld, Mad Max Fury Road, Melancholia.
These are just off the top of my head. Lots more out there!
It’s 50 years in many countries, already expired since Fleming died around 1964. Google can verify.
So by theory, a movie is possible, if unlikely. I would be intrigued to see a Bond film set in the true 1950s, as per the novels. I’m no lawyer but I cannot see how it is possible to block film production on literature already in public domain.
Great interpretation, great film. Beautifully shot, very eerie atmosphere, good acting. I add it to The Witch and It Follows as two of my favorite recent horror films. Triangle is another good one too, but more tradtional.
You should read the novel. It is excellent. Very different from the movie of course, but classic Heinlein.
Not for all countries. For instance, Fleming 007 is still copyrighted in USA....but not Canada. So, would a Canadian film be perfectly legal? Just food for thought.
You’re the second person to recommend Kingdom to me. I like Zombie films like Train to Busan. I will check out Kingdom!
I hope this “woke” is not becoming a genre now!
But I still want to see Mulan. No interest in Terminator or Charlie’s Angel. I do not like the new Star Wars, too.
The trailer looks good. The story is based on a true story. I’m part Chinese, and I want to see this film. I don’t understand this “woke” culture thing and I don’t care. I suppose if Crouching Tiger were released now, folks would complain about female leads?
I was expecting a film like Open Seas or Lifeboat. Then, maybe something about a ghost ship. The Groundhog Day aspect of the film, mixed with horror elements and some sadness, really made me think about what I saw by the time I finished.
