Re: BEATLES Movies (Yes, 4!) Coming From Sam Mendes

Where's the Boy George movie? That's what I want! :mrgreen: But in all seriousness, I'm not sure Beatles movies are destined to be the sure-fire hits someone of Mendes' generation assumes they will. About a decade ago, I mentioned George Harrison to a friend of mine who was in her 20s. She responded...

Re: rate the last movie you saw

^^ I've never seen this film, but I can't say I was exceedingly wowed or moved over any Robert Altman movies. He seems to have been a favorite of cineastes and critics, and emblematic of "great American cinema" in the 1970s -- by all those people who blamed Lucas and Spielberg for "ru...

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd

"'...full of battle scenes that rival Peter Jackson’s 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.' "

Well that battle scene literally gave me a migraine. Pass on Dune II.

Re: This Week's Aisle Seat: Imprint New Releases

:x Who produced this release? Because Vangelis' score is in the wrong key in the film. The isolated score (as well the bits of score you can hear on the commentary tracks) are all in the correct key -- but the actual film soundtrack is in a lower key. I checked this against the various album releas...

Re: This Week's Aisle Seat - Kino Lorber Mid-Winter Rundown

Ted Kotcheff directed something in-between First Blood and Uncommon Valor ? Where did the find the time? Sounds interesting in any case! Glad to see The Big Country reissued in improved quality. I only saw the film for the first time just a few years ago, but was highly impressed. Jean Simmons is al...

Re: GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE - Trailer

I've completely lost track of the Ghostbusters franchise.

Does this one star the kids, or did they go back to the unfunny women? Or is it a completely new set of characters?

(My question is rhetorical -- I don't really care.)

Re: John Williams: Home Alone interview

I was with my friend Darren Cavanagh when he interviewed Broughton back in the 90s (we usually co-interviewed but I didn't know too much about Broughton's body of work, so I let Darren handle this one!). Unfortunately, having no tape of the interview, I can only go by memory, but as I recall Brought...

Is it possible to order the Bounty release from someone other than Imprint -- i.e. someplace that isn't charging $30 shipping? :shock:

Re: rate the last movie you saw

FAMILY PLOT is a cut above those, mainly because of Williams' score and the cast (Barbara Harris especially), but I don't think it's "great" by any means and has a lot of the same "fatigue" issues. I think once we're past the convoluted "info dump" (that takes-up most ...
