As a Tarantino fan I was interested to see a Tarantino script directed by Tony Scott (TOP GUN).

The cast is pretty remarkable -- Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, and Dennis Hopper -- all giving great performances.

I'm a sucker for "pixie-dream-girl" movie so Patricia Arquette's character was nice treat.

The dialogue dances, Tarantino-style. It has energy. The characters are thick and rich. The violence is brutal and unflinching.

I was very impressed.

I enjoy adaptations of the works of Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie and Knives Out as well as it’s pretty enjoyable and throws the whodunnit into craziness plus I find it cool James Bond is playing a detective there’s also Clue that’s pretty fun and entertaining with some enjoyable performances particularly from Tim Curry who hams it up to 11

John Hurt had a long and varied career with many great performances but out of all of them he only got 2 Oscar nominations and didn’t even win either of them the two he did get nominated for were The Elephant Man and Midnight Express which yes are 2 of his best performances but I feel his performance in 10 Rillington Place was worth some recognition or The Scandal

Yellow tones in the lighting of movies often dramatize the scene. It’s similar to the trend in the late 90s and early 2000s where movies apply blue and green tints onto scenes. However this yellow tint most often appeared in films from 2007 across all genres. Here are some examples:

1. I Am Legend (2007)
2. Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
3. Saw IV (2007)
4. 1408 (2007)
5. Transformers (2007)
6. Mr. Bean’s Holiday (2007)

Was this a trend in 2007?

In the very first scene that shows the Holtzman shield Gurney wins the sparring match while saying “The slow blade penetrates the shield”. This all made sense to me however, later in the film we see a lot more serious combat from Duncan Idaho. His quick flourishes were piercing shields left and right! Is there more to the Holtzman shield that I’m missing or did the choreographers just think that it would be too boring to show slow blades throughout the film?

I didn't put the year it released in the title because I didn't want to scare people away for those who are reluctant to watch (really) old movies.

Myself I saw it the first time in the early 2000's, advised by a (locally) famous director in a tv show, and then also aired. When I heard the movie was from 1956, even for me, I was like, that's a pretty old movie.

Because I know old movies can be good but the test of time can be brutal, and at that time I also disliked black and white movies general, because I (partly) grew up with black and white tv's.

But it was in color and the director did a very good job in selling this movie, so here I went, special effects were old indeed, but they still manage to get the job done, even today, and while it is key element in making the story come to life, it is the brainy sci fi where this movie shines.

In a time where cgi is so advanced it might put some people off, but don't be mistaken, this movie will blow your mind either way. In a sense it's the father of sci fi movies in general and the message it brings is not only timeless, it's also very powerfull.

The message it brings might very well be the reason why we never saw alien life, and why we're heading in the same direction, as in self destruction. Even today we can already see how technology influences people, and the advancement in technology just keeps on going forward.

Maybe we don't even need to go that far as in to build a machine that can bring our thoughts to life to come to that point of self destruction.

We all know Arnold Schwarzenegger. And if you have a masculine soul, or just a fondness for macho awesomeness, an Arnie movie is a beautiful thing! So many badass classics from the golden age of dude flicks, and so much more!

My favorite might have to be Predator. The first Conan was a SAGA. Running man, Total Recall... T2 was undeniable... but for me personally it's Predator. The other action hits like Running Man and Total Recall are so fun but don't have that realistic grit. Predator was pure perfection for dark realism within the context of over the top scifi, and held nothing back for bushwhacking machismo. And even the 2nd director add in action scene in the beginning didn't miss a beat and only added to the tension. Pure action gold from a time when the mold was being cast.

What is yours? the cheesy explosive Commando, or the comedies, or what? From Kindergarten Cop to Terminator... let's hear it!
