Wasn't sold on this one at first because it took far too long to get to the point (could lose half an hour from the running time yet lose nothing if you get what I mean). Once it gets serious it gets a lot better. I'm unconvinced of Audrey Hepburn passing as a supposed Native American though. 



I was interested in this a decade ago while it was still quite new and maybe I would have enjoyed it more then. Seeing it now and I found it to be a really crap movie, hiding thin plot behind a ton of action scenes. 



I know this one is generally rated as being a step up from Hannibal, but I lost track of it part way in and only watched the bulk of the movie casually while using my PC. It's a film I'd give another go sometime, but my initial impression is that's it's safe to treat The Silence of the Lambs as a standalone.

Lesser known western gem.

A gem that blends western with film noir that I would have enjoyed even more were the only way I could find to get to see it were not a website upload with foreign subtitles plastered over the picture and the audio not properly synced with the picture. 

This is a well regarded film - it's really sad that there is still no UK DVD release beyond the HMV exclusive Blue-Ray/DVD Combo pack which is pointless at best if you do own a blu-ray (because who's going to use the DVD version if they do?) and extortionate at worst if you don't own a blu-ray (because they sure as hell change blu-ray price!).

The law's side of the Bonnie and Clyde story. Not as good as the 60's film focusing on the crooks, but pretty solid.

Really fun 1930's western comedy.

I know there are very different opinions regarding a movie like this, but to me it´s art for art´s sake. Slow, creepy, and confusing, with an emphasis on odd camera Work and colors, and not much emphasis on dialogue and story. Kubrick and Cronenberg er obvious influences.

[QUOTE=UMUR]Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee in The Road (2009)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0898367/[/QUOTE]
 
I´ve had some time to think about this one, and while I definitely liked it, and it probably portrays very well what will happen a few years Down the line after an apocalyptic event, where all animal and plant life are extinct, which leaves the few remaining humans without animals and crops to eat, it´s also fairly predictable, and I had hoped for more surprising twists to the story (I haven´t read the book, and of course it needs to be true to that, but still...). It´s dark, grey, and bleak, and there are some pretty damn gruesome scenes (the food cellar scene with amputated prisoners is pretty scary and nasty). So it´s the human relations and the tiny, tiny hope that there is still somewhere in the World to flee to which drive the movie.

Some quite sinister moments in this one for a 50s western. 



Enjoyable action thriller sequel.

^ Glad it's not just me.



A brilliant neo-noir. This one definitely channels Tarantino too.

Solid family friendly western. Took my rating down a notch because of how annoying the kid gets.



Best Kubrick I've seen so far. Very entertaining. 



Very good historical drama.

Eh, not a fan of that movie! Like most video game-based movies it falls apart, not staying true to the source material.

Pretty decent but I don't find that horror movies age that well in general compared to more 'grounded' film genres.

I haven´t played the game, so that didn´t bother me. It wasn´t mindblowing in any way, but still a fairly entertaining zombie type movie. I´m in the process of watching the sequel.
