6666 Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 The Father - It's saying a lot but this might be Anthony Hopkins' best performance. 8.5/10 Quote
Waylander Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Caught an old black and white film today. Never heard of it before, it was called, Man on a tightrope. Set in Prague during Soviet times when a circus owner annoyed at the state dictating what they can and cannot do decides to take his circus to the border and crash through to Bavaria. Even more interesting is it was based on a real event in another country during Soviet occupation in Europe. 1 Quote
Waylander Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Meant to add it was an Elia Kazan film and rather enjoyable, tension up until the end.I went to IMBD after to read about it and several reviews made the point they could not understand why it was not more widely known about. Quote
Waylander Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 I saw a murder mystery film some years ago and I can remember the story yet not the actors or title. It was set in suburban USA and concerned a couple that had moved into a house and the husband starts getting visions of a young girl. He later finds out she has gone missing and through the visions believes she is buried in his house. He starts digging in a major way and attracting negative attention from the neighbours and then eventually finds the body. It then becomes a thriller..... Can anyone identify and name the film? Quote

Always wanted to watch all the film as think I missed the beginning and it looked good. Kept getting confused with the later film Mystic River also starring Kevin Bacon yet a different story. 1 Quote
Ploughendplonker Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 Watched a couple more Bond films this weekend Quantum Of Solace - 4/10: Not as bad as Casino Royale, but still over-reliant on car chases and fancy effects. The Spy Who Loved Me - 6/10: Didn't quite hit the heights of The Man With The Golden Gun, but still think Roger Moore is a superb Bond. Generally speaking I am preferring the older Bond films (albeit I'm not yet to watch an 80s/90s one). Quote

The script suffered heavily from the writer's strike at the time, and I think Daniel Craig even wrote some of it himself, if I remember correctly. 2 Quote

Perhaps that's why there were so many dramatic chases which, if they're turning up 5/6 times a film, lose their drama and intrigue pretty quickly. Quote
