Re: What Is The Last DVD You WATCHED?
Death Proof is a good film but for me there was so much talking and not much action for most of the film, then once the first half was over it started again and went on for just as long.
Yes it was a good film and the car crash scene was amazing and the carchase also but I did find myself quite bored, before the car crash and again with the car chase. |

Re: What Is The Last DVD You WATCHED?
It is allot different from his other movies are you telling me there wasnt allot of action is res-dogs? or even Pulp fiction?
|
Re: What Is The Last DVD You WATCHED?
MovieMan, Death Proof was not meant to be a serious movie. They were both meant to be fun movies. Hence being "Grindhouse-styled".

Yeah... Not only is Death Proof the better film IMO, but it's also more like the films it's paying homage to (or ripping off, if you don't like Taratino or the word "homage".) As I like those films, that was one of the big reasons that I prefered Death Proof, its authenticity. You could see that it was made by someone who really knew and loved his subject and then went about recreating those films, adding his own touches, showing what he'd like to see. As for action, as movieman said, Tarantino films aren't action packed, they're diaglogue packed. Even Kill Bill which, if I remember correctly, had a lot more action in it than his other films was still very dialogue heavy. As for using Reservoir Dogs to argue against this (as someone did, I can't remember who) that's ridiculous. I'm sorry, but it is. With the exception of the heist scenes themselves, there's no action in that film. Putting Res Dogs up as an example of action is like putting 300 up as an example of scriptwriting. |

Re: What Is The Last DVD You WATCHED?
Did I miss something? There were heist scenes in Reservoir Dogs?
|
Re: What Is The Last DVD You WATCHED?
There are no scenes depicting the actual "heist" in Reservoir Dogs. However, there are two scenes that take place directly after the heist and trail a few of the characters as they make their getaway. In one scene, it's Mr. Pink running from a bunch of cops before eventually hijacking a car and driving off. In the other scene, it has Mr. White, Mr. Orange and Mr. Brown.
In other words, that's your action. But they aren't "heist" scenes at all. |

Re: What Is The Last DVD You WATCHED?
Challenge The Tiger. I've seen it a few times now and it's just mad. It stars Bruce Le (yep, that's just the one 'e' folks) as a CIA agent who, with his James Bond-like partner, fights to regain a stolen formula which terrorists want to sell to the highest bidder. If I mention that the formula would make the human race sterile, I think that you may be able to work out what level of filmmaking we're talking here. But damn, I love it. Besides, what film can't be improved by a scene where a busty lady plays tennis topless. :D

Re: What Is The Last DVD You WATCHED?
Black Friday. An interesting film about the 1993 Bombay terrorist bombing but, while it was interesting I had problems with the pacing and I wasn't a fan of the colour filter motif. It meant that there was far too much of that gritty-city blue used for my liking and the red lighting used in the interrorgation scenes meant that I had to really strain to see everything and recognise which character was there.

Re: What Is The Last DVD You WATCHED?
Brotherhood (Taegukgi hwinalrimyeo) - Korean war film about two brothers who are forced into the Korean army at the outbreak of the war. About as good as it's possible for a war film to be for me. In fact, only two things stop it being the best war film I've seen. There's more than a touch of Saving Private Ryan with some of the score and, secondly, it's not Battle Of Britain.
Superb film. |
