Lot of under lying symbolism but to be honest, not sure what I really saw.

I’m here for Jean.

Madness. Madness.

Alec Guinness so deserved his Academy Award. Sessue Hayakawa should have won as well.

I only gave this a try because of Sam Rockwell and Jared Harris. The original from 1982 is one of my favorite movies of all time. That being said:

1- This version didn’t get me to love the family like the original cast of Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Dominique Dunne, Oliver Robins and Heather O’Rourke did.
2- The original actually made me consider going into Paranormal Research/Parapsychology. This one just kind of made me happy I didn’t.
3- The jump scares just seemed predictable and borrowed from other films.

A solid directorial debut in which you start to see the storytelling that Nolan will become known for. Kind of a modern film noir piece told like a short story since it is in B&W.

I kind of felt like I watched a made for tv movie. Great cast but not a lot in the budget.

An interesting adaptation. Trying to keep track of the timeline was interesting.

To be honest, I was here for Julie Christie.

Intense action, amazing cast, so much drama. I know a lot of people love this movie. And it is great…. but I just feel it’s a little long.

Dark, intense and disturbing. I kind of need a shower now….

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.
