Hi, Dark.
Here I am.
I haven't seen the original Irma Vep, but I'm watching the tv series remake Olivier Assayas did, and it's pretty brilliant, IMO.
I saw parts Two Minute Warning.
Interested in I Walk Alone and I'll probably check out Prey.
Yours:
Drive 8/10
I liked it, although I think it's maybe a bit overrated. But I saw it some time ago now.
Licorice Pizza 9/10
Oh, yeah, it's great. I actually think Alana Haim was snubbed for an Oscar nomination. Bradley Cooper was also great.
Mine:
Pleasure 8/10
It's a Swedish movie, about a Swedish girl moving to L.A. to break n the porn industry. I really liked it, it's kind of graphic, so i guess it's not for everyone, it's good though, IMO. It gets pretty dark, but ot also avoids the easy stereotypes. It's kind of Paul Verhoeven-esque, in a way. .:biggrin:: I'm sure he's fan, if he saw it, actually.
The Legend of Hell House 8/10
It's a horror movie with Roddy McDowall, about a physicist who's hired by an old millionaire to spend a week with his wife and two clairvoyants in a huse that's considered to bring him the actual proof of life after death. I thought it was a blast, it actyally gets quite creepy, IMO. It's a bit over the top near the end but, yeah... The acting is good, I liked Roddy McDowall, he's one of the clairvoyants. Gayle Hunnicutt too, she plays the wife of the physicist.
Hawks and Sparrows 6/10
It's a Pier Paolo Pasolini movie, it's kind of a fable, very surreal, it's not easy to describe, it's about a father and son walking the streets of the countryside outside of Rome, they meet a talking crow, and he joins them in their travbels. I thought it was so-so, I liked the first part, then it loses it, IMO. It's very beautiful visually though. I liked the score too, It's by Ennio Morricone.
Airport 1975 4.5/10
It's the one with Charlton Heston, it's about a Boeing 747 that crashes against a small plane. The entire crew is taken out, and a stewardess has to try to land the plane and save the passengers. I didn't like it, I mean, the cast is good, but the movie was really kind of bland, IMO. Also, It was a bit difficult for me because Airplane! is really based a lot on it, and I was expecting Leslie Nielsen to pop up any minute.
yeag I agree on the snub, she’s fantastic and her only film with nothing coming up.
yours
I’ve seen all those airport films from the 70s when I was young including this one but they all kinds bleed into one another. They are fine for what they are but I imagine a little dated by now.
Well, Alana Haim is maybe focused on the Haim band more, but I hope she continues to work as an actress too. Sean Penn was also fun. Apparently his character is based on William Holden.
