Things to look out for...

David Lynch's film:
1) There are a variety of plot points that are removed. Most of them do not deter from the primary story of Paul rising to become Maud'Dib, the...

I think it's true Kitano is poking fun at it. He often does that, it's part of who he is as a comedian. He has even said in the liners to the Hana-Bi DVD that it's to his advantage that he's a...

Like all good directors, Kitano "Beat" Takeshi has been hit-or-miss throughout his filmmaking career. Not everybody enjoyed Sonatine, while I thought it one of the most poetic films I'd ever seen,...

Jack Nicholson just had a plethora of great lines in that movie.

"How do you write women so well?"

"I think of a man...and I take away reason and accountability."

Normally I do watch a movie until the very end, so unfortunately you did catch me at one of the few exceptions where I just couldn't muster the energy to endure anymore. I understand that "Pumpkin"...

I haven't been into black metal that long, but for a coupla years now. I started with Emperor (who is still my favorite) and worked my way back to Venom, Bathory, Mercyful Fate, and King Diamond, and...

You've made my day, hehe!

Yes I have seen "Visitor Q," and I see your point. But every film Miike makes has a different focus. "Visitor Q" is talking about the warped nature of family values and exterior environmental effects...

The point of "Ichi the Killer (Koroshiya 1)" WAS to make a live-action manga. The manga was pretty violent, as many are (not all, but many). The movie is intentionally cartoonish because it's...

I can agree about Murnau, Proyas, espeically Lynch and Miike, Tanaka, Kurosawa, and Argento. Cronenberg has been hit-or-miss for me though, I didn't like "Crash." It seemed better as a book than as a...

I bought the 2-DVD Regionless Uncut Edition of "Ichi the Killer (Koroshiya 1)," complete with interviews, trailers, press photos, etc. Personally, I thought "Ichi the Killer" was pretty well-done....

Lucas said that? Why Scorcese didn't just beat him to a bloody pulp right then and there I'll never understand.

The new Punisher is going to be played by Thomas Jane, who was most recently seen in "Dreamcatcher," he was the one who survived (not the one who got possessed). I hear he's gained a lot of muscle in...

First of all, "Superman" HAS been done, and very well I might add. Christopher Reeve WAS Superman. He had the look and the height (if not the build, but really...who does have that build AND acting...

I will agree tabuno that there is too much violence and it's a sign of the times, and it would be far more stylish and psychologically horrific to approach the violence from a Hitchcockian standpoint...

Moral or immoral? Hehe...depends on who you are. I tend to think of someone like Roman Polanski as an artist who makes beautiful films...but he is a pedophile. That's immoral to me, but apparently he...

So by that rationale, would you say that "At First Sight" is a science fiction movie? They use science to help a blind man see with a radical new operation, but it's fictional because last time I...

That's the point though. The original version of "Solaris" is a beautifully filmed artistic adaptation, it's a great film of high drama mixed with science fiction, it's an intelligent movie. "Blade...

I agree. "Terminator 2" is still VERY MUCH science fiction. It just happens to be an excellent combination of intelligent science fiction and action. The first "Terminator" was the same, but it also...

Interesting theory. I guess you're right that it is hard to think of "Star Wars" without thinking the themes, and they do tend to dominate in certain areas. One could defend that and say it's a...

"Pumpkin" with Christina Ricci. Bad enough that Francis Ford Coppola hasn't really made a movie worth seeing repeatedly since "Apocalypse Now"...but to think he produced this horrible travesty of a...

I have to say that I agree that there is a problem with violence in films, especially with the ongoing problem of high-octane action movies with little or no intelligence behind the stories. "XXX" is...

Amen...R.I.P.

I never understood why they couldn't just use music FROM the movie being advertised. "Pi" did that. "Heat" did that. I'm sure people will say it's because a familiar piece of music helps people get...

"Timecop" was a short-lived TV show, yes...I think it came on the same time as another show that had a similar premise, where every week these people would send the main character back in time...
