Suspect's Reviews

Second viewing -

Gilliams most difficult watch (and thats saying a lot!):



"Silly kissers!!"

7/10

Inadvertent paranoia double feature.



I'd been itching to revisit this one. I'm still finding things I love about it. Something that stuck out this time was Prideoux and Haydon's relationship. Strong emits such deep melancholy while Firth is equally amiable though distant throughout. Their glance at one another near the end (no, not that bit, the flashback prior) really sunk on me. Seems a shame they're usually cast in opposite roles than those here.



How f'n crazy is that this is Coppola's (arguably) fourth best film?

I know I'm probably alone on this, but I think it's Coppola's best film...Hackman's too.

Absolutely solid.

Certainly his tightest narrative. I actually know a few people who place it above both Godfathers. Apocalypse is hard to beat for me, though. The latter is, as I've said before, the ultimate exertion of everything 70s cinema.

They definitely look very cool lol

I think I'll love this more the next time I see it. I thought it started a bit slow, but it wouldn't have felt that way had I known what was to come. It's a sell your soul to the devil movie in case you've been living under a rock. I guess I've been living under a rock since I didn't know going in. I loved all the performances and it has great atmosphere and creepiness.

The Conversation - 1974
I agree with you. One of my all time favorite films. Everything was just right. The haunting solo piano score by David Shire is memorable, and was perfect for the movie.

I've never heard of this, but I used to read the "Archie" comics when I was younger, and I liked Christopher Rich on "Murphy Brown" and "Reba", so I added this to my watchlist.

OPEN FLOOR.

I just saw this on IMAX, and I wanted to like it so much, but I just couldn't...

Checking on the reviews here and there, people seem to LOVE it.

I ended up giving it a , and I knew I was being generous even.

Reasons I didn't like it:

1) It's not funny when Marvel tries to be funny in every 2 minutes.
2) Villain starts strong, but falls easy at the end. This is in every Marvel movies pretty much.
3) Some action scenes are done very lazy. This is also in every Marvel movies pretty much.
4) Spidey's movement is too CGI, doesn't have any gravity feel
5) Other than Spidey and villain, I didn't like or care about any other characters
6) Spidey seems incompetent in this movie without Iron Man's suit and help. Also his motive is to be cool or to impress others, which seems lame and selfish.

His Girl Friday (1940)

Locke (2013) – 6/10

If there ever was a film that was specifically designed to be a rip-off, this is it. Coming out the same year as the American remake of The Ring, fear dot com treads familiar water. This time, instead of an unmarked videotape, we have a website. Scary???? Four bodies are found in New York City. They are eerily connected, as they all died 48 hours after logging onto the website, FEARDOTCOM.COM Yup...it's feardotcom.COM

After seeing the opening sequence, I was expecting the film to be mediocre at best. I was wrong. This film is atrocious. It borrows heavily from the previously mentioned film, let's take a look shall we?

Both films showcase people dying after witnessing video/website

Both films have the lead female character discovery a dead body in the water

That dead body belongs to a little girl that you see before you die.

After each person dies, they are stuck with a terrified look of horror on their face.

I could go on, but that would mean thinking about this film more often than one should.

I'm a fan of Stephen Dorff, but he's not good enough to elevate trash to garbage. Jeffery Combs is criminally underused here as well. The film has these genre actors, even Udo Kier pops up, but it does nothing with them. The direction of the film is directionless. It goes in circles not knowing where to stop, or even begin for that matter.

Let me list the things you can do instead of watching fear dot com:

Watch paint dry.
Take a nap.
Watch a second coat of paint dry.
Take a calculus exam.
Flip a coin and guess how it lands.
Sit an at airport for 6 hours.
Stay on hold for 4 hours.
Never be able to connect to your house wifi.
Be stuck in traffic.
Listen to a Kardashian talk about evolution.
Do your tax returns.
Take heath advice from Gwyneth Paltrow

In summary...this movie stinks.
