Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.

Lord of Illusions

Oh man... Is it just me or is every Clive Barker film some pseudo-psycho gay bondage fantasy? The gore was decent, but I thought this movie fell pretty flat. Acting, directing and plot were all fine, but I can't shake the feeling that I just got done watching one of Clive Barker's wet dreams play out on the screen. I was not impressed.

The film is frustrating in that, the first really big action set piece is sooooooo good - I'm talking white-knuckle good - that the rest of the film feels like it's playing catch-up. ]

Daniel Craig is great.

The dialogue sounds good coming out of Craig's mouth, but everyone else falls flat, so I'm gonna blame the writing.

The Poker scenes are miserably boring...like I'm watching "Poker with the Stars"

...AND this is the bloodiest Bond yet.

I'm a sucker for these so I'm gonna say 7.5/10 as a whole... which by my scale falls between a good time and a great time at the movies:)

I just went to see this last night. I agree about Daniel Craig, he was pretty awesome. And yeah, everything else you pretty much summed up too. The action was cool and the movie had enough going on to keep me interested, but I have to admit after 2 hours I was praying for an ending....it was the large Coke I drank talking. :o But overall I thought it was a kick ass movie.

Taxi Driver. It was on AMC, so i watched it.

Had never seen it before, but I really liked it. Dark, gritty, satisfyingly violent, and with a surprisingly happy ending. I thought it was going to end with just Travis on the couch.

Stage Fright

really, really, really bad. Like the writer and director have never seen a play, let alone know what happens backstage. Bad acting, terrible characters, boooooring!

Funny, thats what I was planning to check out tonight.

Hopefully I enjoy it more...

Just watched Quest for Fire for the first time. I really liked it a lot. It was weird, and there was no dialogue to speak of, but the point came across clear all the same. There were a few parts that made me giggle, like the wooly mammoth scenes. Seeing carpet-covered elephants is a pretty entertaining thing in itself. Overall though, I thought it was done very well, and the end scene had a strong impact. Good movie.
