I'm sure it will be good, Ali is a solid actor but it really have some pretty huge shoes to fill, Snipes absolutely killed it in that role, excellent fight scenes & iconic one-liners, not to mention, that opening nightclub scene is a classic, arguably one of the best opening scenes to a Marvel movie.
Do you think MCU's Blade will be able to top the original film? And do you think they can top that opening scene? And how excited are you for this new Blade in the MCU?
One of my favorite horror films from the 90s from Robert Rodriguez & Kevin Williamson, I used to watch this film all the time with my friends, we still rewatch from time to time. I never really hear it mentioned alot but I always felt that it was a good horror film. It had good & likable characters, good scares, good quotes, good soundtrack, some nice twists & turns especially near the end of the film. And it had nice references to classics like >!The Thing (and it's classic Blood Test scene with the Drug Test scene & the crawling head scene) & The Invasion of the Body Snatchers among others, really enjoyed this one.!<
And it had such a great cast of actors too: Elijah Wood, Josh Hartnett, Famke Janssen, Robert Patrick, Jordana Brewster, Salma Hayek, Jon Stewart, Clea Duvall, Usher Raymond, Shawn Hatosy, Laura Harris, Summer Phoenix, Christopher McDonald, Piper Laurie, Bebe Neuwirth & the late Daniel Von Bargen among others. Any fans of the film? What did you think of it? Did it scare you or creep you out? Did the twists catch you offguard?
Both The Mask of Zorro and The Legend of Zorro were recently added to the Netflix library and I, along with many others, watched them both again. Back to back even. And I have to say they were both as entertaining now as they were when they originally came out decades ago. Yes, they have held up nicely. From the commanding performance from Anthony Hopkins, to the ever beautiful Catherine Zeta Jones, to the charm and humor of Antonio Banderas, the films are fun, action packed, and quite entertaining family fun. They really hit their stride in The Legend of Zorro with Zorro's horse Tornado being funny and making stunts. And even the kid Joaquin, played by Adrian Alonso, was a major talent and contributed a lot to the story. It is a shame that it did not do so well in the box office because it was a fun adventure and action movie. But it is also a blessing because the rumors at the time were that the studio wanted to do a third movie in a post apocalyptic world with a serious and gritty tone, which to me would have ruined the spirit of these fun films; interesting as it may have been. However, I feel like Banderas' Zorro needs proper closure and a farewell. And, as I pointed out, now would be a logical time to pull it together and pass the torch. It could serve as a tee up for a franchise reboot and we all know how Hollywood likes to rehash old IP right now and create universes. I think Disney might be the best studio to take this on as it is definitely family fun and adventure. It would be probably be best to keep it in the $30 million budget range, which is rare these days, because with too much money comes more expectations and not enough risks. And we deserve a creative and proper send off for one of the best action characters of the turn of the century.
There was an old man who remarried and it rocked the town in the late 1800s or early 1900s, the new wife was much, much younger and the town disliked 'er. A young man has a bully problem, asking how to deal with a guy with a 'chip-on-his-shoulder', and a man with an abusive wife commits suicide with a shotgun. The woman reveals she was abused as a child by her father.
This MAY have been a part of a collection of stories, interspersed with views of a conversation between women and a MarkTwain-looking man in a study. Another story was a colorized, and longer, telling of 'AnOccurenceAtOwlCreekBridge'.
Anyone else take English class in middle school fifteen years ago or so and remember this? Last checked, years ago, this user couldn't find this movie/DVD with a collection of short stories anywhere on the net except for some Russianlooking or 'needpopcorn'-looking archivestreamibg site over a decade ago. Help? Thanks.
If you havenβt havenβt seen it, I highly recommend watching it without reading into what itβs about.
The most Iβll say is that two teenagers in the 90s get stuck inside a 50s TV show.
It starts out feeling quite a lot like a reverse Truman Show, many similarities also with Eps1-3 of WandaVision, but it continually becomes more and more interesting. I couldnβt stop laughing at how brilliant some of the situations were and the commentary at play.
After watching Iβve instantly added it to my top 20 favourite films of all time. Which if you need a reference for, you can see the list here.
Now go watch it!
And if youβve already seen it? What do you think about it?
