Maybe cos everyone thinks about Clint first, and Morgan second.That's true. I always tend to forget ‘Unforgiven’ for some reason, though.
I'd say its more likely Clint first, then Gene, then Morgan...Maybe cos everyone thinks about Clint first, and Morgan second.
I was due for a rewatch of Beverly Hills Cop. It's been over a year since my last watch. I love this movie.
I decided to watch it with my girlfriend, who had never seen it before, and doesn't have a sense of humour (self-described, I swear!). I was worried she'd hate it. But she ended with an 8/10 rating, which is positively amazing for her. It's about time someone in my life appreciate the genius of this series.
Or maybe just because it's not part of the usual rerun cycle on foreign-owned TV here.Maybe cos everyone thinks about Clint first, and Morgan second.
I would go even further than that... Star Wars:TFA and Avatar are perfect examples of movies that should not only be seen in a theatre, they really should be seen in 3D or else you're really missing out on the full experience. Contrast that with Thor: Love and Thunder, which I recently saw in a theatre in 3D, which was totally unnecessary. Putting aside the fact that it just wasn't a great film overall, there was really no point in the movie being 3D. As I think back on it, I can't remember anything about the film that warranted it being in 3D.On a related aside, I really need movie reviews to start including whether a film or not needs to be seen on the big screen, or whether it's fine to see it at home. Anyone who says 'every film is better on the big screen' can't make the distinction I'm looking for (or they don't want to, if they're just opposed to living in the 21st-Century - which I can kind of understand ). Dune is a movie I saw at home, and I could tell, even as I was watching it, that I should have seen it in the theater. I know there have been others in the last ~10 years, but I can't think of them right now. The Batman, maybe, I saw that one at home. Conversely, I did see Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in the theater, and I think that would have been fine to see at home. I'm thinking maybe anything Villeneuve does should be seen in a theater. I saw Sicario and Arrival in the theater, but not Blade Runner 2049. Dune, Part 2 is obviously his next one, and I think I'll probably go see that in the theater. (IMDb says he's also in early stages of adapting Rendezvous With Rama, which is much too far away to be excited about yet - it doesn't even have a year of release on it yet - but I'm a little excited anyway.)
Yeah, I normally avoid seeing things in 3D, because it's so pointless most of the time. I find that once my eyes/brain adjust, I stop seeing the 3D effect at all. At that point, it's just a more expensive ticket. One movie I can think of that might have benefited from 3D was Cuaron's Gravity (2013).I would go even further than that...

The Taking of Pelham 123 (1974). This one is less acclaimed than some of the other '70s stuff I've been watching the last couple of years, but maybe that's a good thing. I saw the 2009 remake first, 10-12 years ago, and hardly remember anything about it. I think the original was better.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the young Hector Elizondo. I always think of him as an older guy, but I guess everybody had to be young once.The original is also the film a young Tarantino watched and 'borrowed' the idea of a band of criminals using color-coded aliases for his Reservoir Dogs from. The psychotic and violent Mr. Blonde is likely inspired by Mr. Grey from that film.
The one with Denzel and Travolta? Yeah I agree. Not good at allI made the mistake of watching the remake of the Pelham 123.
It was trash
So, tl;dr: Rebecca Hall?Closed Circuit (2013). Good cast, and I was in the mood for some kind of political or legal thriller, and this looked like both. I struggled to pay attention, though. I will say, however, that the cinematographer of this movie also did Andor, the upcoming Star Wars spinoff series, which now makes me want to see that even more. I'd give the guy some kind of award just for the way he filmed Rebecca Hall.
Jim Broadbent playing a villain was fun, too. But if you watched it just for the closeups on Hall, I wouldn't call you crazy.So, tl;dr: Rebecca Hall?
You have a thing for dark-haired women, I see. Stana Katić, Rebecca Hall…Jim Broadbent playing a villain was fun, too. But if you watched it just for the closeups on Hall, I wouldn't call you crazy.
