metirish replied to metirish's topic in Film Review Forum
A list in time for Halloween , a few odd choices. 31 SCARIEST MOMENTS IN FILM -
I'm on to you.

Bloodsport is just brilliant, when Van Damme starts to win over the crowd and the arena starts a slow clap that builds into a chant of " nut sue cow" ( no idea how else to spell that) it makes my hair stand, or was that " Kick Boxer".
-

BLADERUNNER: The Final Cut / Ridley Scott, idiot-savant
metirish replied to Vic Sage's topic in Film Review Forum
Cool topic, haven't seen BladeRunner in years, not sure how I feel about alternate endings that come now with DVD's , I tend to find them confusing because I wonder then why it wasn't used for the theatrical release. Vic how would you compare Ridley Scott's work to his brother Tony's? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Scott That really should be how would you compare Tony Scott's work to brother Ridley. -
Congrats to all who played and to our winner, when I checked this morning around 6:30 Smg was leading. Anyway great race between Vic and Smg........ And I didn't finish last
-
The basement race between me and SJR will go down to the wire with the loser buying the league winner the trophy.
-
Check out "Revelate" from them,great song.
-
Glan Hansard singer/guitar for The Frames also starred in The Commitments as the bands guitarist.
-
I read about it in the Irish Echo a while back but I've not seen it,would Blockbuster have it...Glan Hansard is in it....Duan probably saw it.
-
The fight scene in Morocco was just brilliant though.....
-
I voted a high bourne thriller but certainly not my fave Bourne,the ending was OK....a fun movie though.
-
I can't ever watch anything that has Bullock in it....

Me neither,the nearest cinema was a good thirty miles away in Clonmel,we never went,in fact I don't think any of my friends saw it either,certainly not when it was in the cinema.We didn't have a VHS/VCR for years so I didn't see it there either. I'm sure RTE showed at Christmas but I can't remember.

Thanks Vic for taking to time to answer ,I'm viewing movies in a different way of course,for entertainment and not looking at what impact a Bladerunner would have on the movie making industry and I suppose the likes of Pixar today.

Vic Sage wrote: what? No "Fargo." yes, no "Fargo". Actually, "Fargo" was one of the movies i was specifically thinking of in my earlier post, when i was discussing movies that were "flavors of the month" and were too new to judge critically, and so didn't belong on the list. Its no surprise to me at all that, upon later reflection, the judges reconsidered that one. As they may well do with "forrest gump", "shawshank redemption" and "titanic" amongst others, at some point down the road. Which is why i think any movies within that last 20 years should just be disqualified from consideration, until they've stood the test of time. Can you explain that further ,why would a judge/critic or whoever it is that helps compile such lists think that a movie they thought was "classic" in 1995 upon further review didn't think of it as classic say in 2007. What would be so different about the movie 10 or 20 years later that would make that person think differently about it. You mentioned Fargo,I watched it a few years ago and thought it was annoying,thought it was great when it first came out.

Glengarry Glen Ross is a superior movie to a dozen or more movies on the list.

Vic Sage wrote: watched it on cable... disturbing, but mesmerizing movie. Especially awful was the Goebbels family sub-plot. The Goebbels character was very disturbing,he just looked like death...did you feel like the movie put a human face or touch to these monsters?,that was one of the criticisms when the movie came out....I certainly did,at times had to catch myself for feeling a bit sorry for them.

I thought this was a fascinating look at the last days of Hitler,brilliant acting especially by Bruno Ganz as Adolf Hitler. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Untergang

Traded Griffey and Cordero for Ortiz and Crisp,lets see how that goes.

You would like this,wouldn't you,this is a wind up right?

With my team,I've really tried everything to get my team up the standings,made recent trades,picked up players and dropped others. I know my team has more than a few sluggers who are not doing a lot and have terrible AVG but really there is nothing on the waiver wire to replace them with,I think my pitching is OK,yeah I could drop Maddux and such but again nothing much better to be had,unless I make trades but who would want them?.... I'm not going to win this but would like input from you guys.
