Guest alex Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 And the beginning of Saving Private Ryan. I wonder if Spielberg agrees with this because everyone else on the planet does. Should have been a 25 minute short. Shame these big Hollywood directors/studios frown on that sort of thing. It's a bit like 'The Fugitive' in that respect. Even if it's decent, a film always seems a bit naff and (obviously) an anti-climax when the best part is the opening or near the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Private Ryan is a superb film and that one with Paul Newman where he's in the mob is very good too (so good that I can't remember the name) but most of his other stuff is just canny. I can't say Hanks is an actor that would make me watch a film (I have absolutely no interest in watching The Terminal even though it's constantly on Sky) but he cetainly doesn't put me off. He's the best thing in the ladykillers and when you're better than a Coen brothers script your not doing too bad. He should stick to the comedy though. Dragnet was quality too.

David Kelly 1117 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Dragnet, Big, The Burbs and even A League Of Their Own are all at least very watchable and The Green Mile is another excellent film and performance of his. He's just not the sort of modern day Jimmy Stewart that he's made out to be by some (either in terms of talent or volume of great films he's starred in).

Well, I really liked it. It's quite slow and 'worthy' but I enjoyed it. By the way, I got a copy of 'In The Mood For Love' free with the Sunday Times the other week if you want to borrow it. Class film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35467 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 That's on the list an'all. I'll borrow it if you remember it at the weekend like, cheers. Don't worry if you don't though cos like I say, it's on the list. I've got Munich out at the minute too - anyone seen it? Review please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alreetlike is the only one allowed to have a different opinion at the moment though Well excuse me for relying on several personal and media reviews to inform me whether I want to see it or not. Btw, the implicit link with Iraq and 9/11 made by the film has been commented on by lots of people since our discussion, and your argument for its inclusion is still weak as watery piss.

snakehips 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Watched Pink Panther with Steve Martin last night. Not bad. I expected to be 'tutting' all the way through - it being a Sellars domain, but it was reasonably funny. Not side splitting, but funny. Kudos to Martin for having the balls to attempt the near-impossible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
