I liked it but didn't love it. Everything filmed by Michael Mann is going to look amazing, and Thief is no exception. The score (by Tangerine Dream) is quite good as well, although it might be too overtly 80s for the tastes of some audiences. The question with Mann's movies is always going to be the storytelling. Here, it's serviceable but not great. James Caan plays a thief named Frank working on his last big score (of course!) so he can go the straight and narrow with his new wife (Tuesday Weld).

 

Like with all Mann films, what we get first and foremost is a sense of the professionalism and expertise of these characters; Mann always loves to portray men at work being good at what they do, and the push-pull relationships that these men have with their occupations. This all works, but some of the human relationships don't work as well; after an early, lengthy conversation in a coffee shop, Weld is given very little to do. We don't get much of a sketch of Frank's partners in thievery, and the crime boss Leo never truly convinces as a menacing villain. Still, it has enough going for it in terms of cinematography and overall style for me to give it a relatively soft recommend.

Saw a trailer for it last time I went to the cinema ( to see Kingsman: Secret Service ) and it looks good. I'd love to know if it's worth seeing. I usually like Michael Mann's films.

The Power/Rangers short fan film by Adi Shankar, the guy who did the "Dirty Laundry" Punisher short.

 

It's a shame that Saban are being such colossal tools about it and have had it pulled offline for "copyright infringement", when it was never meant to make money and instead was just a love letter from the fans, to the fans. And lets be honest, this dark and gritty take on how messed up it is for having our heroes be essentially teen soldiers drafted into a intergalatic war that has nothing to do with them, is probably the most interesting the Power Rangers has been in decades!

It's daft, as long as no money's being made, what's the harm? Despite the name, they're not actually bootlegging the films? I feel bad for the director Joseph Kahn, because he paid for the entire film out of his own pocket and judging from some of the effects in that short film, it can't have been cheap?

 

Still, it's at least amusing to note that on wikipedia, the acronym TPPA has a second meaning, which is a test for syphilis... kinda appropriate, eh?

A movie about a group of people on a deserted ocean liner because it got a visit from a giant kraken like creature.....  I love B movies and this one is fun, gory, has swears and is fun...... Well I thought it was fun.

 

After that I watched

 

Deep Blue Sea

The Relic

Event Horizon

[metatheurgist]

One of my favourite films Deep Rising, always wanted a sequel.

[DuckSoup]

I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but last night we watched Grace. The 2009 "horror" about a demon baby. Or, at least, I think that's what it was supposed to be about, but it didn't really show much of the baby. The most notable scene was two old codgers getting it on for no apparent, plot-developing reason. I feel sick just thinking about it. I can't believe rotten tomatoes gave it such a high rating.

Deep Rising is a brilliant movie. I always disliked Ebert's review that it was a bad film because he thought it was "an Alien clone with a fresh paint job", because unlike Alien, I was never bored once in the entire movie and Deep Rising was meant to be over the top and ridiculous, which is basically true of all monster movies ever made?!

 

Like that scene where the mercs hear a noise and open fire on the empty casino, only to realise there's nothing there... and then open fire again simply because they're bored and shooting up the place is fun. How anyone could think this was meant to be a serious movie is beyond me?!

Look, Im only a highschool senior. Yet I grew up watching STTOS and STTNG. When the heard the news today I quite literally almost cried. In a dark time of my life, Star Trek showed a bright vision of the future, and gave me hope. At Spock's funeral I wept (real men do cry). RIP Leonard Nimoy. LLAP

It has been a while since i posted on this thread. So, Here we go.

 

 

One of the best movies I have ever seen. It simply and perfectly portrays the inner personality of the filmmaker and its open ending is simply brilliant and adds a storyline element that has never been used before, To let you truly decide the moral of the story.

 

 

 

The best thing Disney has ever done in years. Last year was really good to filmmaking. The movie creates a new genre of animation, Comic-book animation. The thing is, Since Pixar has entered the animation business and Disney and DreamWorks have been dwarfed because of their cynicism. Their films have exactly the same storylines added to different concepts. Frozen is a perfect example of Disney's cynicism and How to Train your Dragon 2 is a perfect example of DrewamWorks' cynicism. But this movie is much different, Its narrative and storyline are new, it's a new genre. And that's why the Academy honored it with the Oscar. It's just very beautiful and creative and new.

 

The Birdman looks alright, not the great movie people claim it to be though.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 was the best animation this year. I'm not into Fat Robots... boring!

 

Really good to filmmaking? Take 1982 and I'm sure there have been even better years!

 

 

 

 

 

Did you really dislike it? If so, you deserve a like!

I really despise going to Cinema to watch erotic stuff. Go watch whatever crap in your own houses!
