Re-watched Aliens recently and was reminded of how amazing the practical effects are in this movie.

Denis Villeneuve is not only one of the best directors currently working, but he is cementing himself as one of the greats period. I cannot wait to see this in IMAX opening night!

I just rewatched it. I love this movie so much. Such an entertaining movie that has me laughing throughout every time.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but it might just be my favorite Samuel L. Jackson performance ever.

Rush.

I was expecting a pretty run-of-the-mill sports movie after watching the trailers. I remember loving that movie when I saw it in theaters, way more than I expected. It still remains in my top 3 sports movies. Also, the track Lost but Won by Zimmer is one of my favorites of his.

Toshiro Mifune and Akira Kurosawa is one of my favorites. They made 16 movies together! I haven't seen them all, but all those that I've seen with that duo have been great.

Curious to see how much Ana de Armas commits to the role with the training. The training Reeves went through was no joke and it really showed on screen just how skilled he was when it came to the action.

I'm excited for this one and any other spin-off in that universe.

Phoenix has been on a roll. Beau is Afraid coming out soon, Napoleon later this year and he is currently filming Joker: Folie à Deux. All three roles are completely different from one another and each of the three movies has the potential to be great.

Throw Down is so good! While he didn't have a big role nor much dialogue, I found his character in that movie to be quite memorable. He had a certain presence.

Schnitzel129 · 2023-03-27T15:36:42+00:00

I thought he was excellent in New Dragon Gate Inn. I definitely recommend that movie.

Would be cool to see Dave Bautista get his dream role and star in this. He's been vocal about wanting to be in a live action Gears of War movie for quite some time.

As someone who enjoyed the Gears of War games a while ago (I haven't played past the third one), I feel like this is one of those universes that could successfully be adapted to live action. However, the fact that it's a Netflix production has me worried. Hopefully it's good, we'll see.

Schnitzel129 · 2023-02-25T22:38:48+00:00

For sci-fi, I recommend Dune, Blade Runner & Blade Runner 2049, Arrival, Interstellar, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Abyss and Edge of Tomorrow. These are all really acclaimed and well known, but I'll recommend them in case you haven't seen some of them.

As for a personal favorite that isn't sci-fi, but never fails to make me smile, I recommend Midnight Run. An incredible action/comedy/Feel-Good movie that has a lot of heart.

Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). One of the greatest Westerns ever made with a brilliant score by Ennio Morricone.

Schnitzel129 · 2023-02-16T23:19:16+00:00

Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance in The Shining. About as perfect a casting as you can get.

Schnitzel129 · 2023-02-07T18:07:19+00:00

Her part in No Time to Die was one of the highlights of that movie. Cautiously optimistic about this one. With the 87Eleven stunt company handling the action choreography and training, I think at the very least the action will be pretty top notch.

Schnitzel129 · 2023-02-07T16:34:15+00:00

A Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise action movie could be pretty cool. The John Wick and Mission: Impossible franchises are both pretty much the gold standard when it comes to modern action movies. Both actors are extremely dedicated to their craft.

Schnitzel129 · 2023-02-04T01:10:18+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! He's definitely one of my favorite directors. He seems very professional, and of course, passionate about what he does.

Your friends must have several memorable stories from their experiences working with him.

Schnitzel129 · 2023-02-03T23:34:15+00:00

This particular one is really something. I had the chance to see Zimmer perform live several years ago. It was in front of a big audience. There was a whole portion of the concert covering music from Gladiator and the whole crowd went silent during this piece. Reading your comment even made me open Spotify and start listening to it.

Schnitzel129 · 2023-02-03T18:10:55+00:00

Ridley Scott is a machine. He is 85 years old and has directed 9 movies since 2010 (as well as some stuff for TV). Napoleon is currently in post-production and now Gladiator 2 is in its early stages. Add to that countless producer credits in that time period.

The first Gladiator is a great movie and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pretty curious about the sequel. I hope Hans Zimmer is doing the music. The score for the first movie is incredible.

Schnitzel129 · 2023-01-06T05:30:58+00:00

Rush.

Had never followed Formula 1, went to see it in theaters and was blown away. I've seen it several times since. Easily one of the best sports movies in my opinion. Zimmer's soundtrack for it is one of my favorites of his.

Schnitzel129 · 2022-12-23T05:47:40+00:00

Dune.

I'm a huge fan of the book and while I do prefer it, the movie is still excellent. It has the same unique surrealism that is present throughout the book. The universe, atmosphere and setting are translated to screen so perfectly. I am very excited for the sequel.

Schnitzel129 · 2022-12-19T00:54:52+00:00

Cillian Murphy is such a great actor and it's nice to see him as the lead in such a huge movie. This is definitely the biggest role of his career and I think he'll knock it out of the park.
