Tyrants and Slaves
People need to discuss old, old classic movies itt. Who else thinks The Guns of Navarone is fucking awesome?
It was disapproving of the kind of torture porn movies that it itself was.
I went on a small Christopher Nolan binge today and watched Memento and Dark Knight. My first viewing of both, and I must say that Nolan has made quite a name for himself with his movies.
Memento was brilliant. The two different narratives are done exceptionally well, and Guy Pearce gives an excellent performance.
You should see "Following", Christopher Nolan's first film. MUCH better than "Memento", imo. The story is more interesting and the twists are way better. Very cool stuff.
I watched Wanted the other night, I had to turn it off halfway through. Horrible, horrible film.
I think with films by Timur Bekmambetov, you really have to be watching for the visual effects and nothing else. Though his two Russian Films Night Watch and Day Watch are much more visually impressive to me than Wanted, and the plot isn't nearly as annoying (though it's nothing great either).
