Film

[Necro Red]

I watched The French Connection the other night. I hadn't seen it since I was a teenager and forgot most of it. Fucking class film, Gene Hackmann at his best. He got the Oscar that year and all for his performance. Nice bit of suspense in it

About a girl who grew teeth in her vagina which becomes very useful.

Watched Cronos last  night as I'm watching a load of films set around Xmas at the moment. Really cool take on the vampire mythos.

Also the watched Eyes Wide Shut.
Probably my favourite Kubrick film after The Shining.

Much like The Human Centipede, I found this disappointing. I think they could have made it really gruesome and darkly funny but the whole film seemed bizarrely clinical to me.

Eyes Wide Shut is excellent. One of Kubricks best. Apparently he thought he fucked it up

I struggled through it when it came out, maybe it's aged well? Then again, I find him very hit & miss anyway, I can't stand A Clockwork Orange, for instance. Barry Lyndon is my favourite of his by far - despite Ryan O'Neal's distracting limitations as an actor, it's just so beautifully shot that I could watch it on a loop.

That's true about the film teeth, there was a few funny pasts, but overall very lacking and they could have done a lot more with it.

I'd never seen Heat before. Now I have. That is one overrated movie.

Correct. One of Pacino's worst performances. DeNiro's part could have been played by anyone. The original version (L.A. Takedown) is a better watch.

It is bloated alright. But that gun battle in the streets is fantastic.

Didn't know it was based off another movie at all. I don't think it's a bad flick either but it is somewhat overrated, likely due to the cast. Moby has a couple of decent tunes on the soundtrack

Two great tracks, New Dawn Fades is one of the best JD covers.

LA Takedown was more of a trial run for Michael Mann.
Intended as a TV show pilot that he reworked into a straight to video TV movie.

This had a few laughs

The main actor in "LA Takedown" is Scott Plank - an actor whose surname describes his acting style.

I think that Michael Mann's "Heat" is a masterpiece. The film has a look to it that is very rarely seen. I enjoy Pacino's scene eating too.

"You CANNOT watch MYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MOTHA-FUCKIN' tee-VEE!" 



The shoot-out scene is something to behold as well. The sound production is phenomenal. I saw it in a cinema with a great Dolby system. Absolutely deafening and hair-raising - this was back when every film didn't have bone shaking audio too.
