Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted October 27 Subscriber Posted October 27 Canary Black (2024)- Kate Beckinsale, Ray Stevenson - Action/Thriller 7.5/10 Not bad. It follows Avery Graves as she is blackmailed by terrorists into betraying her own country to save her kidnapped husband. Quote
MUFC Posted November 15 Posted November 15 The Gift, well made and underrated - 8.1/10, Panic Room, 7.2/10. Quote

Watched it a year after it came out. Saw it on Prime, it said it'll be going in 30 days. Is rare a slow paced movie has me on edge. Oh Gordo. 1 Quote

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted November 24 Subscriber Posted November 24 Passenger 57 (1992) - Wesley Snipes, Tom Sizemore -Action/Crime/Thriller - 7.0/10 Not bad but Sizemore as the villain was yuk. An airline security expert must take action when he finds himself trapped on a passenger jet when terrorists seize control of it. Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted November 27 Posted November 27 There will be blood: 2007. 10/10 An phenomenal film, no single aspect could likely be improved upon in any way. Solid contender for the best put together film of all time. No country for old men: 2007 9.5/10 Another absolute masterpiece, watched them back to back. One of the most thrilling, tense films put to screen. 2 Quote

Between Daniel Plainview and Anton Chigurh you arguably have the two best written bad guys played by two very good actors. Those ratings are very fair Quote

It's very dark and intense, I have seen it 3 or 4 times now in my life, and it's a masterpiece. The book is brilliant too, but I think the film is better. Quote

Those ratings are very fair Spoilers for plot and ending of TWBB Spoiler Until the end of the film it's almost hard to even call him an antagonist. The film pits him against Eli, and while both men are grifters, there is an honesty to Plainview. He will deal with whoever he needs to prosper, and will pay as little as he can to make deals, but he's just a grubby capitalist, while Eli is a sleazy evangelical who knowingly takes advantage of everyone he can while returning nothing at all. While Plainview pays as little as he can at every step to maximize profit, he's still providing the service he promised at the highest level. But then he goes and kills Eli with a bowling pin so Quote

But then he goes and kills Eli with a bowling pin so He is a very complex character, I don't think he checks the boxes of ever being regarded as a good guy and I wouldn't class him a socio or psychopath, he does have an onset narscisistic behaviour tendency, he is fixated on domination. He is at the start portrayed as a working man, silver miner who then gets a silver tongue to manipulate people, when he doesn't turn them by slight of tongue he turns them in aggression to get his way. He shows some empathetical characteristics towards HW and his fake brother, but when they let him down he loses all semblance of humanity and resorts to the all and everything person. I would still characterise him as fundamentally evil. As far as complex evil characters go, I would rank them; Daniel Plainview Hans Landa Anton Chigurgh Calvin Candi Quote
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted November 29 Subscriber Posted November 29 I remember seeing an interview with Josh Brolin talking about Javier during the filming. He said he didnt want to leave his hotel room and hated his haircut. He and Woody took him out for beers just to get him outside Such a good movie though. I actually just watched it again recently, maybe a month ago. The coin scene with the store owner is one of my favourite scenes from anything. It just encapsulates the movie perfectly in one 3ish min scene. Quote

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 1 Subscriber Posted December 1 The Forgotten Battle (2020) - Action/Adventure/War -Staring Gijs Blom, Jamie Flatters - 8.5/10. Can't say it's another The Longest Day, The Battle of the Bulge but I quite enjoyed it. In WWII's final years, a soldier in the German army, a British glider pilot, and a Dutch resistance fighter's paths intertwine. Their choices shape destinies, impacting not only their freedom but also that of others. The Forgotten Battle (Dutch: De Slag om de Schelde) is a 2020 Dutch war drama film directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. that depicts the Battle of the Scheldt in 1944. Quote
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 3 Subscriber Posted December 3 Equaliser ( 1-2214/ 2-2018) - Action/Crime/Thriller - Denzil Washington / Both 8.5/10 I watched them both again last night because I have not seen 3 yet which I should watch this weekend, good watch. Quote
