I'm not fully back (and I don't think The Admin will ever let me fully return), I can only post on the "PEOPLE" board and that is it.
Thank You for the "welcome back" though anyway, That is very kind of you and I really appreciate it.

My favorite movies by director Joel Schumacher are "The Lost Boys" and "Flatliners." Those movies were just a lot of visual fun to watch over and over and stuff I don't think we seem filmed as good today. I also loved the movie, "Falling Down." Very eerie film with a pace that feels so unsettling, that its performances feel real to me. I personally think "A Time To Kill" is probably the best movie by Schumacher. The way the film handles the racial tension of its plot, there's a lot of sad and deep emotions there. I also really enjoyed the movies "8mm" and "Phone Booth." Movies with big casts and suspenseful twists is always catchy at least to me. Although the movie "Batman Forever" and "Batman & Robin" kind of stalled Schumacher's directing career I think as being a more serious director. I personally never hated the movies. "Batman Forever" made a great profit for its budget. However, it's sequel wasn't so fortunate. I don't know what executive head fired Tim Burton from finishing his third Batman film that he had ideas for, to bring a more sell-able watered down take on the Gothic superhero; but that's the person I would blame for those movies not being great. I enjoyed both of Schumacher's Batman movies for what they were, I was a kid at the time so I'm naturally biased with them. I remember seeing "Batman & Robin" in a sold out movie screen, no one complained and no one booed through the entire movie viewing. It maybe didn't sell out much longer than that but it's not the worst movie I've ever seen. If anything it's just not what the fans deserved at the time, not Schumacher's fault. Too bad none of Schumacher's movies never got nominated, at least not for any major Oscar award. The movies I listed above do have some intense moments and excellent performances. I still have to see Schumacher's final movie with Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman, "Trespass." It's free with my cable, I should finally break it out and give it a watch.
R.I.P Joel Schumacher! Just my comments as an avid fan, it's all my opinion anyhow.
