One of the first movies to use CGI effects. Holds up pretty well, considering it's from 1982. The story's alright and it's built around real computer science stuff. So, good sci-fi for me. I watched the sequel back when but I don't remember much of it. Fantastic movie and the Jeff Bridges 2010 reboot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpaul1 Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 i was bored yesterday, and i discovered Ran. it's a pretty good movie about war, destruction, and its consequences on human species 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpaul1 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Swallows and amazons: the coot club: a great movie. it's a kind of Tom Sawyer, but in England. i enjoyed it so much that i decided to go for the book right now i'm watching Mc Cinsey treasure with Hulk Hogan, and at this point i'm really enjoying that little movie like we say here. Hulk is doing well, and the caribbean ambient music is cool (kinda treasure of monkey island for those who know it) been watching also High road to China with Selleck, and Armstrong. and even if there's no treasure in a lost jungle inca temple, the staging is good, and so does the acting this afternoon i've been watching the treasure of the amazon, and it's a rough movie. who flirts with the horror movie. it's a bunch of rough adventurers, who roam a rough forest, populated with rough indians, and rough crabs who love human flesh lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never realized it at the time but the Aussie accents were dubbed because the U.S. distributor was worried the audience would not understand the Aussie lingo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalci Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Budget was low, so some scenes were poorly shot and some were not well put together in my opinion, BUT this film is likeable and loveable. I like Mickey a lot and always loved his personality on and off screen. He always acted the way he felt about things even if that harmed his carreer in Hollywood. This was shot before his botox era (which was his biggest mistake IMO) so his face here is totally organic. Movie was shot in 1994 and released only in 1996. if someone could provide me a link to this movie in 1080p that would be cool because I have the intention to cut this movie a little bit /one of my many passions˛/ Edited June 6, 2023 by Kalci 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toecutter ... for me the greatest car chases ever. never seen anything that comes close to it on that level. the night rider chase, or the gorilla run are epic. not even talking about the gang tracking down. the only thing with that film it's that it has aged quite badly. i mean the main plot, a brutal, and violent revenge (even if over violent bad guys) looks totally outdated for me, now that i have become an adult. when i was younger i used to see these as something super cool. but the movie has to be seen at least once just for the car chases. I think this is the movie who made Mel Gibson the guy who plays the gorilla is Mel Gibson buddy Steve Bisley. they did the casting together. and were both chosen Edited June 6, 2023 by jpaul1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyfarragut Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) This one's better than the original in some respects: they ditch the melodrama and focus on action-packed sequences. Dialogue is very sparse. It's almost a silent movie. It's surprising the influence on aesthetics this movie had. Lots of movies and music videos imitated those ragged costumes and bleak landscapes.

Kalci Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 You know I am a car enthusiast so this movie is for me in that sense Te movie itself was a disappointment for me because the cast is wonderful. But the screenwriting at times is very bad... Anyway I like Mickey Rourke, Mimi Rogers in this. Kelly I think had to play a character which was badly written. Editing at some times are horrible. Ending is weak as hell. Anthony Hopkins is great as always. Main cars are very well selected and love all that is featured in this movie.

ViceFanMan Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Back on Friday, 6/30, a friend of mine from church & myself did a guy’s night out, and went and saw the new Indiana Jones: Dial of Destiny movie...as his wife & child stayed home just in case there were melting faces, hearts being ripped out, and eyeball soup again. Seriously though, I was fairly apprehensive and/or worried what they would do with it & how they would end it. But, I have to say I was very pleased & really enjoyed it—including many awesome odes, past characters, & proverbial “Easter eggs” from the other films! I will not divulge any plot details or the ending, as it’s still in theaters & many may not have seen it yet. But, I will say I thought the ending was “perfect”, and the perfect way to retire (no Han Solo crap-ending here ) the character! So, if you’re an IJ fan, I definitely recommend seeing it!

Great thank you for the great review. I saw this fine new movie also with my church group in the Florida Keys at Marathon 5 complex and give it 10/10. Just excellent for a fantastic actor Harrison Ford. I recommend fully — I get a little fed up seeing the negativity (reviews) around this film and how it’s underperforming at the box office. The first two Indiana Jones movies ( “Raiders” and “Temple of Doom” were some of the best movies ever made. 10/10 Edited July 6, 2023 by Matt5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand the negative reviews & so-called box office info?? Other than sadly nowadays, critics & people seem to love & get-off trying to destroy, tear down, and ruin things & others...rather than try and build them up and/or support them. But, I foresee this movie being one of those that garners respect & fandom over time...one that will be known as a great film that originally did poorly money-wise when it was first released. Some majorly popular & famous movies now didn’t necessarily do that great, nor were that popular, when they first hit theaters. Shawshank Redemption is one example. It wasn't until it first was available for video rental, that fans started realizing what an amazing movie it truly is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie C. Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 John Wick IV. A touch long, perhaps, but it's better than John Wick III and has lots of easter eggs and such linking it to other movies (like the DJ...shades of The Warriors). And maybe just a touch of Blind Fury as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the popularity of Raiders took off, I think he agreed to do 2 more to make the IJ trilogy. However I don’t think he really planned on doing any more. Crystal Skull was cool that he did agree to do another one, but it was a disaster, so I was pleasantly surprised he agreed to do this one! But, the man is 81, and he injured himself quite a bit while filming Dial of Destiny. Time will tell, but he’s pretty emphatically stated this is his last IJ movie. If they do make any more films, he perhaps could have a cameo appearance or something, but I think the films would be about spinoff characters & their adventures—which of course would not be as popular. Or...not to give too much away about “Dial’s” plot, but they could do total CGI IJ movies about other past adventures (say from the 1930s or 40s) that supposedly haven’t been told yet. There’s been several articles that have talked about the unbelievable realistic CGI “young” Indiana at the very beginning of “Dial” (as the beginning goes back to WWII to give the backstory of the plot, so it can then go to current time—1969). I agree...you can’t tell it’s CGI—you swear it’s Harrison Ford from the 1980s! Same was done a few years ago with Star Wars: Rogue One...you swear Carrie Fisher & Peter Cushing were not only back from the dead, but back to how they looked in 1977 for the first movie!

ViceFanMan Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) This is asking about a movie I’ve actually not seen before...it’s a more modern noir (usually referred to as a neo-noir) from 1990. It was a Dennis Hopper film starring (Crockett) Don Johnson, Virginia Madsen, and Jennifer Connelly called The Hot Spot. Has anyone seen it before, and if so what do they think?
