A good film indeed… a desperate character, very well portrayed by Douglas.
I realised a long time ago, that I have a thing for films with a 70s retro soundtrack, or with modern songs of similar sound. It creates a party in my mind.
I’m not sure… I don’t like too much slap-stick a’la Monty Python, so maybe not, or maybe I have and I just don’t remember.
I’m a massive Marx Brothers fan, and have seen every one of their films… I adore Groucho and Harpo in equal measure, but Harpo is just so compelling to watch.
I think the 90s was the best decade for film.
My favorite 90s flicks:
American Beauty
The Big Lebowski
Natural Born Killers
Casino or Goodfellas
Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs
Braveheart
The Matrix
Terminator 2
Total Recall
A Clockwork Orange
Barry Lyndon
Apocalypse Now
The Deer Hunter
Beneath the Planet of the Apes
Escape from the Planet of the Apes
Dawn of the Dead
Star Wars
Logan’s Run
Soylent Green
Those two are great, incredible acting in No Country, best Cohen brothers, I think, and the least cartoony. Daniel Day Lewis in Blood was amazing and the young actor, Paul Dano, manages to go toe to toe with him.
I liked both the Coen’s farcical stuff like the Big Lebowski and their more serious stuff like No Country.
Yea, what can you say about Day Lewis that hasn’t been said.
The guy’s compelling, brilliant, passionate and intense, and yea surprisingly Paul Dano held his own with him.
I should check out what Dano’s been up to lately.
Yes, I think he does well in those films. I enjoyed them very much and the Jeremy Renner splitoff. I think it is basically true for all of us. Mind control though not in the focused sense he received it, and then, if you have the guts and skill, breaking out of this so one is not used.
