Ahhh 80s fantasy films. Music by Alan Parsons what with keyboards doesn’t really fit the time period of the movie. A young looking and humorous Matthew Broderick, a pompous John Wood, a rugged Rutger Hauer, a beautiful (with hawk like features) Michelle Pfeiffer, the early Hollywood days of Alfred Molina and Leo McKern’s finest role resulting in a great cast.
That’s a young Tim Roth.
Great cast with Chevy Chase (before Vacation), Sigourney Weaver (before Ghostbusters) and Gregory Hines. Billed as a comedy it really does highlight the “arms sale races” of the 80s before they were fully known about. Not sure if the people who see it today would relate to it as much.
“State of the Art? My ass!”
Nicole Kidman is excellent in this movie. The score does a great job setting tones and moods. I’d forgotten how many movies Cameron Bright made as a kid in the early 2000s.
It would have been interesting for Richard Gere in this role like William wanted. And as far as I can this is Ed O’Neils debut?
Action, tense moments and a whole bunch of shitty scumbag adults. Sure redemption as well.
An amazing cast in a crazy screwball comedy!
I came here for Juliette Binoche
Bananas!
It’s a bizarre movie but it just pulls you in.
So I’ve just watched a 4th episode on Amazon Prime or Britbox even though nothing shows a 4th episode on Season 2. :thinking::thinking:
Helen Slater! Yeah! Never thought I'd see her here.
Alice channeling Peter Gabriel and Eliot channeling Kate Bush. WOW!
Funniest episode so far. So many references and making fun of the whole filming aspect itself.
It's really an 8 episode, but I gave 1 extra point for the opening and cause Johnny is wearing a Zebra t-shirt!!
Gillian as Bowie is fantastic. Her line "Putting out the fire..with gasoline" takes it up even more so!
Those time demons were creepy as hell.
The Time Between Time parts is some of the most creative I've seen in a while in a TV series.
Edward Woodward makes a great Ghost of Christmas Present. Although I still expect him to pull out a pistol at some point... LOL...
Tunnel scene is a nod to A Clockwork Orange and is fitting for David as a potential timeline.
Funny how we can't have offbeat, goofy variety shows like this anymore. And Kiss in their early days....

For those unfamiliar with JC, this is probably the introduction of the bastard that he is/has to be. And how/why he suffers for it.
Not much of a comedy more so than a political satire and nods to various other movies.
Its like a tribute to Romero at some points (especially with the cars, the clothing, etc) and the underlying political jabs (which Romero did). And Tilda Swinton's character is a nod to Phantasm (although a samurai sword wielding one). You can see the jabs about how the government avoids climate change, ignores how minorities are treated and even the separation of children under white dominant males (if they are in Centerville Juvenile Detention Center, why label their clothes just CDC).
It was good and fun and had moments. Everyone did pretty well, but DVD really steals the show.
The music was good, but none of them seem to have the "sing along" quality of the originals. A little more complex on this ones lyrics.
Funny and meaningful movie.
How I miss Robin Williams. He was so great in this movie. Nathan Lane and Hank Azria were awesome as well.
Such a young Ewan McGregor - and oh the hair he has in this movie. LOL.
An early start from the amazing Toni Collette.
I'd say this one was good not great story wise. Animation is pretty good though. There's a couple of things you miss if you don't watch it closely:
The roach acting like it's having sex with a small stuffed animal.
The bus balanced on a garbage heap.
The Chuck Norris poster.
I swear the bottle of beer he pulls out of the cooler is very similiar to a Sierra Nevada beer but using fake names.
Quite the cast. We started watching this because of Bill Nighy (who does an excellent job) but seeing Tara Fitzgerald (before Game of Thrones), a young Henrey Cavill (pre-The Tudors and Man of Steel), an older Henry Thomas (Elliot from E.T.), Rose Byrne (pre Moira from the X-Men movies) and Marc Blucas (who I mostly know from Buffy the Vampire Slayer series).
The movie deals with love. It is a romance (not really a comedy), but it doesn't end with the normal everyone gets what they want and live happily ever after.
Star studded cast for the time. It's a decent, updated version of The Haunting of Hill House book by Shirley Jackson. Best watched late at night in a dark room.
Well done. Jason Statham does some great acting (not much action for him, more just his acting). And Saffron - just wow. A great cast. Although seeing David Suchet as a bad guy (kind of) is interesting....
