Re: Watchmen

Finally caught this on dvd, good show. I'm not a Bob Dylan fan but that opening credit sequence was brilliant. (Worth the rental price right there.) I also thought the Philip Glass Koyonisqatssi music during Dr M's conversion was a great choice. It was nice to see Jackie Earle Haley earning a decent...

Re: Movies you can watch repeatedly...and not.

The Deullists, a 1977 movie made for European television starring Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine. Its based on the true story of two Napoleonic officers who fought a series of duels over the years. I end up throwing this in the dvd player a couple of times a year. Its a beautifully shot film with...

For you young 'uns out there who think a good heist film involves Matt Damon and George Clooney...check out Charley Varrick. This is a great film from our best decade ever for cinema...the 70's. Walter Matthau, John Vernon, and Joe Don Baker as a bad ass mob hit man. https://www.mypersianforum.com/p...

I've got that series too fats...Ogami Ito rules. (I also like the American techno edited version Shogun Assassin.) I don't know, there's just something about SOD that intrigues me. Maybe it's the fact that they were supposed to make three films and only finished the first one. All kind of plot lines...

The Sword of Doom. (see sig.) I'm kind of obsessed with that movie. It's a very dark samurai flick and has the best ending in movie history. I can also watch Downfall over and over again. (I guess y'all can too since everyone makes fun of the bunker scenes on youtube.) The guys who made that film re...

Goad argues that a large percentage of whites who came to America were sent here as indentured servants. America was Britain's penal colony and th...
