Harry's DVD PICKS & PEEKS: 2nd & 3rd Wk of July: Noir, Powell/Pressburger Blus,Street Hawk & More!!!
Hey folks, Harry here and sorry about last week's column not being up as scheduled, but as you may have read, I had a hard drive crash on my laptop the week before San Diego and I've been crazy trying to get this laptop in shape. I combined last week with this week to catch up. Hope you enjoy it. The pics and titles are linked to Amazon where you can find out more about a given title - and can even purchase the item which gives a little to help support this column. Which is very much appreciated.

CHLOE
Sexy thrillers used to be a huge thing at the box office. I suppose because this is an excellent example of the genre, crafted by the wonderful Atom Egoyan and starring the great Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore and the delectably sexy Amanda Seyfried… well… it must have escaped the notice of the world. This is a superior erotic thriller - and absolutely worth your time, check it out.
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000, Vol. XVIII ( LOST CONTINENT / CRASH OF THE MOONS / THE BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS / JACK FROST )
I do wish these would come out with the option of seeing the movie clean, without the MST3K work in place. Yes, I know I'm the one single person on the planet that never fully appreciated MST3K… mainly because I have an appreciation for the films they mock. Someday I'm sure I'll get over my no doubt wrongheaded notion. But for now, this is all decidedly not for me, though I'm a big fan of LOST CONTINENT. Just not the MST3K version.
INSOMNIA (Blu)
I find that this film is held in higher esteem than I give it, simply because the original 1997 INSOMNIA with Stellan Skarsgard just being so much more awesome than Pacino - and that's not something many can say - and the whole thing just feels more dangerous, creepy and authentic. Nolan's is a solid film, but this isn't a story that necessarily benefited from Star Casting. It just absolutely takes the story out of the grimy reality that I loved in the original. If you want to see that brilliant version, Criterion put out a great DVD for it a while back. That said, this is a nice Blu Ray of the Nolan version. Beautiful transfer, just not the best telling of the story in my opinion.
FILM NOIR Classic Collection, Vol. 5 ( CORNERED / DEPERATE / THE PHENIX CITY STORY / DEADLINE AT DAWN / ARMORED CAR ROBBERY / CRIME IN THE STREETS / DIAL 1119 / BACKFIRE )
Moriarty is enjoying this set tonight, earlier I saw him tweeting about a rather wonderful bit of dialogue from THE PHENIX CITY STORY - now that isn't the best film of the set, for me, that's CORNERED - directed by the great Edward Dmytryk and starring the freakishly awesome Noir Anti-Hero, Dick Powell… who we all love from his Dork Powell days singing with Ruby Keeler in the ol Warner Bros Thirties musicals. Powell toughened up and completely changed his image to that of a tough guy. You should also bow down and worship the awesome character actor, Walter Slezak, who is also great in CORNERED. Then there's Anthony Mann's seminal foray in Noir, DESPERATE. I prefer a great many of his noirs, in particular his Noiry Westerns… But DESPERATE is a strong first effort. If you want a Steve Brodie double-bill, follow up DESPERATE with Richard Fleischer's ARMORED CAR ROBBERY. Don Siegel had a helluva 1956. He directed the brilliant INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, then promptly directed the lean and cool CRIME IN THE STREETS. It is less of a Noir - and more of a juvenile delinquent picture starring that serially no-good kid, Sal Mineo. SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION fans will love seeing a young James Whitmore in this - and of course… try to miss John Cassavetes, I dare ya.
IN BRUGES (Blu)
There really is no way to put it other than, this is a fucking awesome movie. Get over whatever you have on Colin Farrell, he's bloody great in this - as is every single performer in the film. You'll probably find a ton of folks in Talkback backing me up on this pick. It has very aggressive fans, deservedly so!
THE SUPER HERO SQUAD SHOW: VOLUME ONE
Ok… So the MARVEL traditionalist screams at this show, but I just have too much fun with it to deny loving it. It reminds me of NOT BRAND ECHH - and I'm really hoping to see FORBUSH MAN appear, though I dare not dream that character will ever make it in. There's just 7 episodes on this Volume - and I really wish they'd just issued the season. But you know the routine. Hold out for the complete thing one day, or satiate your twitch now.
STREET HAWK: THE COMPLETE SERIES
Amped up vehicles were a big deal to us 80s kids. Most of you kids know of KNIGHT RIDER and some of you cool kids know of AIRWOLF & VIPER. I also loved AUTOMAN. But then there was STREET HAWK - and well, no kid's future Bruce Wayne existence didn't at least have a dream Kitt car, your custom Airwolf and well, not all of us saw STREET HAWK, because ABC just didn't sprinkle the awesome from AIRWOLF and KNIGHT RIDER upon it - though the show was pretty damn cool. That said, this motorcycle would kick the MEGAFORCE motorcycle's spokes out!
ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 remake (Blu)
I really do dig this remake. Carpenter's original, probably made for about what they paid Fishburne for this remake, just is a better movie. The location looks less like a set. The score is vastly better in Carpenter's. And all the badassery is just more badass with Carpenter. But damn I love the look of the remake and yes I enjoyed the retelling of the story, which was already homaged the hell out of RIO BRAVO. But I like it. How about you?
PRIMAL RAGE
Umberto Lenzi wrote this science creating a rage virus - long before 28 DAYS LATER. And it has Bo Svenson and insane crazy fucking Babboons. I like this flick. But I love those slightly off Italian attempts at successful genres. This is PRIMAL RAGE's first release on DVD.

A TOWN CALLED PANIC
Probably the most beloved film of Fantastic Fest 2009. Everyone that sees it, loves it. So I guess the best way to show you why you should get this is to show you:
THE RED SHOES ( Criterion Blu)
Powell & Pressburger's THE RED SHOES is one of the most astonishingly beautiful works of I.B. TECHNICOLOR photography every captured. The restoration has been nothing short of breathtaking - as the BNAT1138 audience witnessed last year thanks to Scorsese. This is a film that fills you with culture and awe. It is simply a film that washes over you and cleans the grime of the world away. I love it completely. Here's what Criterion is giving you on this:
New, restored high-definition digital transfer
Uncompressed monaural soundtrack
Audio commentary by film historian Ian Christie
Introductory restoration demonstration with Scorsese
Profile of The Red Shoes (2000), a twenty-five-minute documentary
Video interview with Thelma Schoonmaker Powell
Gallery from Scorsese's collection of The Red Shoes memorabilia
The "Red Shoes" Sketches, an animated film
Readings by actor Jeremy Irons
Theatrical trailer
PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by Christie
BLACK NARCISSUS (Criterion Blu)
Until this release, I had never seen BLACK NARCISSUS. I had video and televised opportunities, but I never wanted to see the film that way. Honestly, I wanted to see this at the PARAMOUNT THEATER… but have never been able to make my schedule and their screenings of this masterpiece to align. But when I opened up the package from Criterion, I decided that I had to watch it on Blu. I had a friend over and watched Ringo Lam's BURNING PARADISE IN HELL followed by Powell & Pressburger's BLACK NARCISSUS. They could not have possibly played better. After the putrid evil badassery of BURNING PARADISE… BLACK NARCISSUS at first felt delightful, happy and joyous - only for the turn to turn and I found myself soulfully shook by the film and the story. BLACK NARCISSUS is a stunning film, and most definitely not a member of the NUNSPLOITATION genre - ALTHOUGH… they do have some pretty hot Nuns - and at least one of them is in Heat. Jean Simmons is unbelievably great in this film. And for some reason I had no clue that Sabu was in this, and when he appeared I was so delighted. Here's what Criterion has done with this:
New, restored high-definition digital transfer
Uncompressed monaural soundtrack
Video introduction by French filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier
Audio commentary featuring Michael Powell and filmmaker Martin Scorsese
The Audacious Adventurer, a 2006 video piece
Profile of Black Narcissus (2000), a twenty-five-minute documentary
Painting with Light, a twenty-seven-minute documentary
Original theatrical trailer
PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by film critic Kent Jones
MOTHER (Blu)
I've watched MOTHER about 6 times now with different people. And every time I watch this film, I love it more intensely. There are echoes of MEMORIES OF MURDER here… with the police. But the story is so heart-achingly told. Hye-ja Kim steals my compassion with her every action. She is not a very educated or enlightened human being. She's got a very simple life made from selling medicinal herbs and home remedies - and performing magical acupuncture. BUT… when she has to become a detective to prove her 'simple' son's innocence - things begin going dark. Of all of Joon-ho Bong's films, I love this one more and more upon repeated viewings. This film will open you up.
GALAXY OF TERROR (Blu)
I love these low budget Sci Fi Corman flicks. I love them in part because you can see some of JAMES CAMERON in pieces of this and FORBIDDEN WORLD and BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS (not yet on Blu dammit). This is a haunted house in Outer Space flick. Nightmares given form by one's own fears. And it stars Robert Englund, Ray Walston, Sid Haig and more. I've never personally seen these films in theaters, so the Blu Ray played beautifully to me. Funky VHS memories was all I had for these two. How are the extras? Here ya go:
Commentary With Cast And Crew
* New Worlds: Producer Roger Corman, screenwriter Marc Siegler and director Bruce D. Clark discuss the origins of the film
* The Crew Of The Quest: Actors Robert Englund, Sid Haig, Taaffe O Connell and Grace Zabriskie discuss their experiences as crew members of the Quest
* Planet Of Horrors: A detailed look into the creation of the memorable sets of the film and alien landscapes
* Future King: Memories of co-production designer (and future visionary filmmaker) James Cameron from members of the cast and crew
* Old School: A journey into the complicated mechanical and makeup effects with artists Allan A. Apone, Douglas J. White, Alec Gillis and others
* Launch Sequence: Co-editor R.J. Kizer walks us through postproduction and a profile on composer Barry Schrader
* Theatrical Trailers
* Extensive Photo Galleries Including Posters, Production Sketches And Designs
* Theatrical Trailer With Commentary From Writer/Director Joel Olsen, Courtesy Of Trailersfromhell.com
* Original Screenplay (PDF)
FORBIDDEN WORLD (Blu)
This one has less star power, but is actually the better movie of the two. Notice the painted take-out styrofoam boxes and egg cartons that make up the sci-fi interiors. And that many of the sets are the same ones from GALAXY OF TERROR - and they even crib vehicles and spare shots from BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS. Kind of reminded me a little of SPLICE. And here's the extras on this one:
* New Anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) Transfer From The Interpositive Film Elements Of The Theatrical Cut
* The Unrated Directors Cut (4:3 - Full Frame)
* Audio Commentary With Director Allan Holzman On The Directors Cut
* Interview With Producer Roger Corman
* Interviews With Cast And Crew Including Director Allan Holzman, Composer Susan Justin And Actor Jesse Vint
* A Look At The Special Effects Of Forbidden World With John Carl Buechler, Robert Skotak, Tony Randel And R. Christopher Biggs
* Poster And Stills Gallery
* Theatrical Trailer
THE LOSERS
This played better upon second viewing, than it did upon initial viewing. It is just quite a bit of fun. Chris Evans is very likable in this, and I really like Jeffery Dean Morgan & Zoe Saldana here. And I love the science fiction doomsday weapon that is a threat here. I did want it to be a tad longer with a more complete sex scene… but it is my understanding that they didn't even shoot it hardcore. Sheesh. People, wake up! It will be interesting to see where this film will settle after a few more viewings.
THE RUNAWAYS
I would love it if somebody got behind Michael Shannon's role as Kim Fowley and did a serious awards push for him. His Kim Fowley was just hypnotizing to watch. Such a great scary character - carved exquisitely from reality. I love Tatum O'Neal as the strangely aloof mother. And I do love both Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, and I wish that Stella Maeve and Scout Taylor-Compton had a bit more to do with Sandy West and Lita Ford, but I understand the focus of this film was on Cherie, Joan and Kim Fowley characters. I'm really quite fond of this film. It comes with a commentary with Joan Jett, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. And there's a decent making of.
COP OUT
Watch stoned and it will all work.
SUPER FRIENDS!: Season One, Vol. Two
Pre-Wonder Twins. Instead we had to deal with Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog. 3 characters that I've yet to find a soul to defend their existence. I'm sure I can find one this week at Comic Con, but I hope not. These are still fun btw. Just not as great as some of the more recent JUSTIC LEAGUE cartoons.
LOOK AROUND YOU: SEASON ONE
A stunningly brilliant show from the BBC - that just makes me howl laughing. I was a fan a very long time ago, I think it was while Edgar and I were talking about his upcoming shoot for HOT FUZZ, that Edgar sent me over the UK release of LOOK AROUND YOU - which made me have giggle fits. In particular I'm a huge believer in MATHS. It just makes sense. If you haven't caught this on Adult Swim - or even if you have, you need to see it all. It will make you smarter about being dumb.
THE PROFESSIONAL (Jean-Paul Belmondo)
It is a bad transfer, but at least I've seen it now. And I love Jean-Paul Belmondo. No, Luc Besson did not steal the plot for his LEON. Though this is about an assassin. I'm hoping for a better transfer someday. I just don't know where that option exists for any of us. Wonderful film though!
NOLLYWOOD BABYLON
Here's another film I know due to FANTASTIC FEST! This documentary is about the Nigerian film world. Next to the U.S. and India - Nigeria has the fastest growing homegrown film industry. And man, did they put some insane clips to give you sampling of what exactly you could experience with a Nollywood flick.
and here's the trailer:
If bizarre international cinema is your thing (it's my thing) - this film will help give you some movies to seek out and find. Good luck with that btw. It is exceptionally hard to get these movies.
Next week I'll give you a peek at the fantastic BATMAN: UNDER THE RED HOOD Blu Ray, the pretty weak CLASH OF THE TITANS remake, REPO MEN, IP MAN Blu, CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON (Blu), RAMBO extended cut BLu, CRACK IN THE WORLD, G.I. JOE THE MOVIE (Blu), FANBOYS (Blu), DARK CITY with Heston!, Complete RAMBO on Blu, UNION STATION, THE PROWLER, HANNIE CAULDER, APPOINTMENT WITH DANGER, LOCK UP, OPERATION: ENDGAME, JOHNNY HANDSOME (Blu), DON'T LOOK UP (Blu), THE SECRET OF THE GRAIN (Criterion Blu), PUPPET MASTER (Blu), TROUBLE IN THE SKY, PICKMAN'S MUSE, SLOW TORTURE PUKE CHAMBER, THE CRIMSON MASK (Blu) and more...

One of the greatest films to come out of Hollywood in 10 years and no sign of a review, Harry - what gives?
-
just don't have the time to squeeze in that second screening between now and then. Sorry. The first time I was exhausted and fell asleep a few times during the screening. So I refuse to review it till I see it again.
-
He is correct. If you haven't seen this, you are missing out on a real gem.
-
Looking forward to it Harry. Enjoy the Con!

Had the same experience with "Inception", Harry.
by throughthebrokenwindowwithdancindelroyli
I kept nodding in and out of consciousness; and with a movie that demands so much of your attention, I can't form an opinion. Several people have asked what I thought, and I haven't been able to properly answer yet. One point that sticks out...unless I'm mistaken, apparently there are no black people in the dream world. Sa da tay!
-
Excellent movie. Great pace, great acting, great humor, great setting.
I agree on Insomnia. Very meh to me, but it was talked up to no end by my friends (actually, Memento suffered from my colossal expectations as well)
Also, it's apparently time I saw Mother.
-
The indian guy drives you around, black people are only in Mombassa and only men get to shoot guns? I thought that's how it all worked.
-
Tell us the name nao to Star Wars Episode 1. He has kept the name secret for too long. No one believes its "the phantom menace" thats just a working title, like "blue harvest"... He holds his cards close to his chest, tell us nao 'mkay, before he does a restoration..
-
automatically equals greatness.
-
Loved that show when I was younger though for some strange reason I could never get into Knightrider.Street HawkAutomanWerewolfThe HighwaymanThe MasterAirwolfBlue ThunderGreatest American HeroI could go on and on.
-
...coming from Netflix today! Woo-Hoo. Love rewatching the cheesy-shit from my youth, even if they never hold up. Forbidden and Battle aren't available yet, though.
Also love In Bruges. It's the movie I've loaned out the most in the past year or so, and I judge harshly anyone who doesn't dig it.
-
Humanoids from the Deep and The Boogens, dammit!

Which one is the one where the giant worm rapes the chick?
by charles_corkey_thatcher
I can't remember. My dad loved this crap. Battle Beyond the Stars=The 7 Samurai in space with Robert Vaughn!
-
Street Hawk? Awesome show, agreed. Colin Farrel? Fucking terrible actor. In Bruges was a decent film largely thanks to Brendan but Farrel was terrible in it. Plus he's willingly agreed to fuck the joyous memory of Fright Night, so he will forever be an utter bastard.
-
Classy stuff.
-
"terrible actor," eh, smeg? rent "tigerland" sometime. but, yes, "in bruges" is brilliant. looking forward to "black narcissus," too - but where the fuck is "a matter of life and death?" if there's any archers film screaming for a criterion release it's that one!
-
I just checked it out. Awesome doc. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Harry!
-
I could take two seconds to read you comment above or any of the others you've made in other talkbacks but that would waste some of my very precious time.
-
Truely great flick, but accidental death for kids is NOT cool.
-
Given his work plenty of goes but it's the law of diminishing returns with that guy. He was decent in Tigerland but not great, not to me anyway. I've liked his work less and less since with every film. I'm at the point now where seeing his name attached to a movie means it's a movie I lose any interest in seeing. Didn't like his turn in In Bruges on bit. Knowing what he and that awful writer Noxon are about to do to damage the world of entertainment with the Fright Night remake, ughgh. Gives me the running shits.
-
. . . has been on DVD forever now. Best Corman flick EVER. Not even sure who up there brought it up.
-
For me the pick of the week. No one does hard-boiled crime thrillers like the French. Belmondo is beyond cool and badass in this one. AND: Score by Ennio Morricone, fuckin beautiful, as always lending the film tons of dramatic weight. If you are even just remotely interested in the genre or French cinema it is an absolute must-have. Or must-buy. Or must-download. Whatever... Oh, and Harry: Will follow your advice on Cop Out!! PEACE
-
Get stoned and don't watch it.
-
I know I'm just repeating what's already been said, but I absolutely LOVE this film. Watched it out of sheer uninformed curiousity (Brendan Gleeson? Ralph Fiennes? Sure, I'll check it out). Such a perfect example of black comedy. And Harry, MST3K will someday take over your brain. It's only a matter of time.
-
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
-
Fucking classic. Should have won some awards. Think it might have got a Golden Globe so it really didn't win any awards.
-
a good film, but not great IMHO. I liked Memento better, myself.
-
And there goes the last shred of pseudo-respect I had for you Harry. The best part is when you said that you wished the DVD's had the option to watch the film without the MST3K track. Would you like the option to watch porn without the sex too?
-
$20 on Amazon.
-
He is way to emontially attached to movies. This is clear from the very existance of this site. I am sure he saw a lot of the cheesy sci fi stuff when he was a kid and thinks they are mocking a beloved childhood memory of his. He needs to disassociate himself from the films because that show is a celebration of film. There are so many movie references that the show is totally made for him. He just has to get over his emotional movie attachments. Also he has been pissed off ever since they did This Island Earth.
-
Did he get a divorce in the late 70's and took his hatetrid out on the women in his movies? Or was he just ripping off Alien in Humaniods? I like to think that he pulled a Lucas only he was more direct.
-
i love the cameos as well, Simon Pegg in Maths, Nick Frost in Music, Edgar Wright in Ghosts. Love it.
-
In Bruges filmed the city in such a beautiful way that it takes a role in the film itself. Although it seems like the layout of the city is portrayed simply to fit the confines of the story, it actually is that way...winding narrow streets that take you to a completely unexpected gorgeous vista of buildings.
When you travel there as an American, it's almost assumed that you know the film -
I heard it was dire and never saw it.. not sure I completely trust Harry's opinion (sorry H). But then again he was right about "In Bruges" - it's not bloody bastard boring at all. Shit cover on the Blu though.
-
I'm defently picking that up, maybe if it sells well enough on Bluray then WB will claim it a cult hit and green light a sequelalso picking up insomnia since it's the only chris Nolan film i don't own
-
It isn't funny and it never was.
-
Ordering Red Shoes and Losers!
-
this is a fucking awesome movie." Actually, there is another way. How about overrated pointless and shallow umpteenth hitman black comedy and Tarantino knockoff with nothing to say gets mistaken by stupid people as clever and profound, when it is neither? How's that? Of course it has militant defenders - only pieces of shit NEED militant defenders. It's like that other piece of shit, DONNIE DARKO. Ooooh, it's so deep and weird. Shut the fuck up. Man, people love them some pieces of shit.
-
I love these "Corman Classics" on Blu.
-
Although I mostly remember it for the "mystery" over which character is working for the villains. See if you can't solve it the moment the actor's name shows up on screen.
-
ass on dvd (its out here in Korea where it went straight to video, no theatrical release), and I have to say, it was much better than I was expecting. It actually has a clever central concept, and for most of the film it explores that idea well, and it was actually quite entertaining, and funny in some parts. But, and its a big but, man does the film shit all over itself in the last act. Suddenly its full of over the top, unrealistic crap (jet pack, Hitgirls magic ability to dodge bullets and do Matrix style physics defying gun reloads etc..) that it completely becomes the movie it makes clear at the begining it isnt. Geez, can Vaughn actually maintain an even tone throughout an entire film? Could not believe how the film sets up its rules, and then proceeds to break them all....
-
x-men:first class. On one hand he seems to get the superhero genre, but on the other he cant seem to make a good film from begining to end (layer cake aside which I have nt seen)
-
Nolan's Insomnia. In all fairness I have nt seen the original (which may expalin my opinion), but I like it, and I reareally dont see whats wrong with it...

Pictures of Dakota Fanning is Runaways still disturb me
by ronald raygun
I mean, didn't she just play Tom Cruise's grade school age daughter a couple of years ago in War of the Worlds?
-
They grow up so fast don't they? Treasure these special times.
-
MST3K is hilarious. Not all of the episodes are funny (in my opinion), but the majority of them are entertaining. You, on the other hand, are humorless. Have a nice day.
-
Didn't know what I was geeting into when I firsted watched it on a firends recommendation. Darkly funny, well acted, interesting story and memorable characters.
Nolan's Insomina is also a highly underrated film. Not as flashy as the Prestige or Inception (both of which I love), but it is a very moody piece of work. Rewateched it a couple of weeks back and it still held up for me. -
Who has claimed it was clever and profound? I found it to be quite funny with a great performance by Colin. Do you have something against midgets, because midgets always make movies better.
-
That is all.
-
...where the hell is SORCERESS?
-
No amount of drugs will make that movie good...or funny...or watchable. Believe me, i've tried.
-
You fucking take that back!
-
I'll proudly stand in front of you nerds (even you headgeek) and say the remake was better then the crappy orginal. Neither are going to make any top 100 lists but the remake is at least fun and entertaining, the orginal is like a boring trip to the dentist. The only reason it has love is because 30-40 year olds saw it as kids and can't bear to say it sucks. Nostalgia is a powerful thing and most geeks seem to think nostalgia equals a good movie
-
I first watched the movie on a bad VHS version. The story was great but the picture quality was crap. Later I saw it on Criterion DVD and the difference was staggering. The technicolor was awesome and really helps the movie. The scene where the crazy nun puts red lipstick on is with the had way more impact than in did in that bad quality video.
-
I will not take it back, you INANIMATE FUCKING OBJECT!
-
Thanks for the heads-up on Humanoids... It's been selling for up to $40 on Amazon, but I see a new Corman Classics print is being released next month. Love that fuckin' flick.
-
Any recommendation to watch this movie in ANY form is a poor, poor recommendation. And there is nothing "wrong" with Insomnia, other than its a pointless film. Harry is right, it simply pales in comparison to the original. It's brings nothing new to the story, and is ultimately a little bit less brave.
-
One of the best fookin' movies of the last few years! Just watched it again the other night, and still makes me laugh out loud. It's got bloody everything, laughs, wit, darkness, emotion, great performances, music, scenery. I could go on & on....

I really need to look more into French comedies...
by shut the fuck up donny
Between Day of the Comet and A Town Called Panic, it looks like they're making some really fun-looking surreal comedies lately.
-
I guess I need to see it again. It didn't work for me. Not sure why. I watched it thinking it would be great and I just thought it was decent. I'll give it a second shot.
-
It singlehandedly ended my Kevin Smith fandom and made me wonder why I was ever a fan in the first place. That and the fact that he's become an unintelligible stoner. On a more positive note, In Bruges truly is GREAT. Saw it in theaters and really dug it, but enjoyed it even more on DVD.
-
Ever seen, its pure genius, in everyway. Some people compare it to Pulp Fiction, and that is a fair comparrison in my opinion
-
and the two Powell - Pressburger films here are magical. That's three purchases for Blu right there.
-
also loved the feature on the DVD (don't know if it's on the Bluray) called "F**king Bruges". It's a 90 second recap of the movie showing only references to Bruges and the cursing.
-
One of THE best.
-
THE PHANTOM MENACE title is Lucas' tribute to the 1936 FLASH GORDON serial; "episode one" of that serial was titled THE UNSEEN PERIL. That's really about all there is to it. No cards, no vest.
-
Is one I would like to re-visit. This is a movie I can't seem to find on DVD, let alone blu. I remember watching this during the Horror VHS boom of the 80's. Along with "Gates of Hell", "Demons", and the original "I Spit on Your Grave".

You don't need Harry for that one. Ok so I saw some clash of the titans on blue and was horrified to see how great certain aspects of the production were. The god's armor and Olympus is just worthy. This should have been a new series of movies called Ancient God Wars and they should have come up with an original story. Don't get me started on the billion things wrong- I just see hints of what could have been all through this. Harry- mst is the only way the entire rest of the world can sit through blood waters of doctor what's his name? It's a putrid movie that cannot be viewed any other way. They love movies as much as you do but have the wit and acumen to appreciate and make fun at the same time. Read some of mike nelson's blogs sometimes- funny guy. Ok got nothing against Colin and that line he says before eating pussy in his sex tape is the best line reading in movie history- "breakfast, lunch and dinner!" Ok so Galaxy of terror freaked me out as a kid. I remember having to walk out of the theater for terror and forbidden world. Both freaked me out during parts so bad I had to go to the lobby and play defender for a bit. Then I went back in for both. The scene of happy days girl being imploded really upset me. A woman being raped by a giant harryhausen maggot upset me. I thought it was unbelievably terrible and horrifying as a kid and was so relieved when the protagonist figures out what's up in galaxy of terror. Planet I can't remember what happens at the end.
-
I mean, this is an Ain't It Cool News talkback. People are supposed to hate and nitpick every film or idea that comes out.
I haven't seen In Bruges yet, but someone out there has to hate it...
...to bring balance and order to the Talkback, as it should be. -

Insomnia is as underrated as Inception is overrated
by turd_has_risen_from_the_grave
It's a good movie indeed. Never seen the original (it may be better), and quite frankly don't need to in order to know that Nolan's film is itself great. Insomnia is better than Batman Begins, and has more character development and emotional content than Inception. Pacino and Williams were both great in this. Perhaps it feels more humane than most of Nolan's work because it's a remake, and because Nolan didn't script it (although he did write the last draft of the film, uncredited). It may also be because it's less hemmed in by plot contortions than some of his others, and is relatively linear. Nolan fans need to give credit where its due, and stop heaping undue hyperbolic praise on rubber costumed superheroes and convoluted sci fi thrillers. Insomnia is perhaps the least geeky cool or flashy movie in his oeuvre, but its worth far more attention.
-
You bring this up when reviewing BLACK NARCISSUS?! You are such an overwhelming idiot sometimes, Harry.
-
Harry is right. I wouldn't expect Harry to like it because, for all his faults, the big man is a completely unassuming and unpretentious fellow, with an uncomplicated enthusiasm for all kinds of films, even the very cheesy or low budget. MS3TK, on the other hand, is the worst kind of unfunny, smug, snarky, holier-than-thou hipster garbage (which probably means Beaks and Merrick both love it). Ripping the piss out of 50's B-Movies or Ed Wood takes no imagination or effort whatsoever, and allows the douchebags an easy target for feeling condescending and superior.Not only that, but the idiots behind it tried to make a quick buck and started selling their insipid commentaries to actually good and classic movies like Raiders and The Matrix, which also consisted of misplaced snarky douchebag bilge. Fuck 'em. And fuck that Mr.Plinkett cunt as well. These are not true movie fans; this is just a marketing scam. Represents everything about so-called 'geek' culture that I detest. I'm with Harry on this one.
-
This talkback thankfully doesn't have the typical hate-for-hate's sake. In Bruges is good.
-
Every time I see your name, I think to myself "That's the idiot who once said 'Nobody cares about the World Cup' in a talkback". Do you realise just how stupid a comment that was? Millions of people around the world watched it on tv, and plenty of people attended the games in South Africa. To say that 'nobody cares' was sheer ignorance. Why do I mention this now? Your stupidity is proven by you claiming that the 'Clash Of The Titans' remake is 'fun and entertaining'. I weep for kids like you, I really do. Yes, I'm in my thirties, and no, I'm not a major fan of the original movie. It's okay, but not great. It is, however, better than the remake. Easily better. I normally respect the opinions of others when they differ from mine, but in this case, I have to say the evidence shows you to be a fucking retard. Now if you'll excuse me, I must go back under my troll bridge...
-
He was great in Tigerland. He was great in The New World. He was great in In Bruges. He was also pretty fuckin awesome in Phone Booth and Miami Vice and Minority Report. And he was the best thing about that shitty Daredevil movie (not much of a challenge, I know).
-
Best scene ever.
-
But, that's because I mistakenly took a sleeping pill with my lunch (and a couple of Shiners) prior to seeing it.Other than that, it is impossible for me to fall asleep in a room surrounded by strangers (except when I was in high school).
-
UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO YOU.
-
At least the Megaforce my friends and I formed when we armored our Huffy bikes with metallic silver spray painted plywood in the Mid-Eighties.
-
Or Misfits of Science?
-
Mike seemed like he had a stick up his butt.
-
good acting, but other than that, it was a bore. The cure for Insomnia to be correct.
-
At least I won't have to pay to see it.
-
an episode of MST3K. Talk about Post-Post-modern!

I HEAR LIAM RELEASES HIS KRAKEN OVER SEYFRIED'S FACE
by isleptwithkathybatesandallthatigotwasthi
Is that true?
-
Bruce Willis cant even promote a movie anymore.
-
The movie suprised the hell out of me. Thanks to the trailers it looke dlike agofy comedy, and though it is a comedy, there's nothing goofy about it. Very understated, very british, and very good. And you will fall inlove with the belgian city of Bruges.
-
What did you think of the short that played before TS3, Day and Night? I've been very curious to know your opinion of it and hadn't seen it posted anywhere.
-
Slacker!
-
It is fairytale fucking town.
-
That it is Smith's biggest box office 'hit'.Because, the same people who laughed thru Grown Ups also loved Cop Out... Paul Blart... and that fucking talking dog movie (all of them).
-
Fucken' hey!

"In Bruges" one of the most underrated films of all time
by mattmanreturns
Anyone who hasn't seen that is missing out.
-
With the exception of the JJTrek accident (you will get better, i promise), you have been one of the most consistent voices of wisdom about good movie watching and appreciation. And you like IN BRUGES too? Kick ass! Though, truly, i should be suprised. Glad to have made your acquiantance, sir.
-
I will have an extra beer for you today. Did you see Inception yet? Based on our mutual film appreciation I'm pretty sure you'll love it.
-
It's defenetly a movie. And even the haters can't deny that
-
The day after tomorrow, mate. It's when the movie is released here in Portugal. And my mind about it is this: If the movie is as good as good as BATMAN BEGINS, i'll be as happy as a clam. Half as good as BB and i'll be a pretty satisfied costumer. If INCEPTION is any better then BB, it's all free bonus, the way i see it. You know what i mean?
-
Some people call movies to the shit that Mickey Bay makes, so, really, what's your point?
-
As for the beers, have another one on me. I owe you a few, by my calculations.
-
I really need to see Insomnia. Christopher Nolan FTW!
-
That's how it is.
-
That's called beer, man. Beer does that to you, specially if you get into a certain age. Our age, Harry. Whenever i feel insomniac, all i need it to get a brewsky, and it works like a charm. Beer makes you drowsy and helps you sleep. Fact. So, the lesson of the day is, if you are planing on watching a movie, specially one you payed to watch, don't drink beer. Do it afterwards, if for nothing else to help you alliviate the sense of idioticy you feel about yourself for being fooled into watching another Mickey Bay movie.
-
I had more fun with The Losers than Iron Man 2, The A-Team or Inception. Not saying it's a "better" movie than Inception. Just more fun. One of the coolest slow-mo kills in recent film history as well. I will say it's 1000x better than Iron Man 2. Fuck, I'm still not sure what went wrong with that crowded mess of a film. Runaways was a really well made movie. It doesn't get too deep into the personality conflicts those girls had, but it does get dirty and drug-ridden. Very refreshing that The Runaways doesn't PG-13 sugarcoat the hedonism of the 70's to get more teens in the audience.
-
Great movie that restored my faith in Colin Farrell the actor. Very darkly funny and very worth your time!
-
Harry, Maybe you saw a different film than I did. I watched Chloe Sunday night on a whim rental, and was astonished at how boring an "erotic thriller" could be. The script was poor, the twist I could see coming but really didn't make much sense overall, and as far as the "erotic", you see Julianne Moore's nip-nips (which you've already seen in several much better films), and you see side-boob and one quick nip shot of Sigfried. THAT'S IT. Whoopi Goldberg is more erotic than that film. And the story really did felt forced and cobbled together. Maybe you saw a cut with a lot more exposition and explanation, but otherwise it seemed to force the plot twists and hope you take them for granted. (that's not even mentioning the fact this movie never made you feel anything for any of the three leads. you just didn't care.) Horrible film.
-
All this nonsense about falling asleep is just an excuse. The movie was too much for his pea-sized brain to take in, and he can't even grasp enough of the basic plot to write the most rudimentary review. The only 'inception' planted in Harry's brain is the desire for another bag of doughnuts.

Imagine going deep into Harry's subconscious
by turd_has_risen_from_the_grave
Penetrating the fourth level of Harry's dreamscape, the vault would open to reveal an anthropomorphic hamburger. "Don't follow the doctor's advice, Harry", the giant, grease dripping patty intones. "Be your own man, just like the iconoclast you were when you set up AICN!" Thus, this permeates up the levels of consciousness, and translates in Harry's mind as the thought that he will ignore the doctor's health warnings and prove them wrong by indulging in a life time of hedonistic pleasure and still living to a ripe old age. Or so he thinks...Erm...yeah.
-
gets another pass on this site. I just can't wait for all of the glowing Red State articles kissing his self absorbed ass!!!!
Srsly, he is like the worthless son in law of the company owner who always screws up and gets promoted but never blamed and acts like a genius. -
actually I really loved it. awesome movie.
-
Yeah, yeah. I'm sure Red Shoes is great and if they were originally released at the same time it might be considered a better film. But they weren't, so it ain't! lol In Bruges is not only great, but it's one of those films where after it's over you do a "holy shit... wait a minute... that movie kicked ass!" kinda things. Absolutely love that film.The trailer for A Town Called Panic actually made me laugh a few times, but I'm not sure it will transfer over to viewing the actual film. Think I'll have to NetFlix that one. Oh, and I'll NetFlix The Red Shoes as well. I just wanted to say something ridiculous about how good In Bruges is. Because it's really fuckin' good.I thought Chloe was boring as all get out. Not even the lesbian sex redeemed it's slowness. And Liam Neeson is actually looking a bit odd on film to me post-Taken. A bit too plastic. Insomnia is a pretty damn good film, but it's starting to feel like people are going on about it a bit too much. I own the DVD, though, so wtf do I know!The Runaways should not be called The Runaways as it doesn't really tell the story of The Runaways. Joan Jett is the shit, though. So good for her.I will definitely give Look Around You a, uhhh, look. Sounds interesting.
-
One day you will be rigth about something. One day.
-
I practically grew up on that film, too bad it's only a bad transfer...
-
You're going to get banned again. lol Maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow. But we all know that eventually you'll be banned again. It's comforting to know that some things in life can truly be counted on.
-
Chill out and watch the french classic "The Professional" together. Even with a bad transfer, the score will make you hug each other
-
"You're a bad actor!" during an interrogation scene. I agreed. Stopped playing the screener and deleted it. That's in like the first ten minutes of the movie. That's how bad Cop Out is. Not even John McClain could save this garbage. If you have Cop Out, I advise you to Throw It Out!
-
Season 1 came out on DVD today. No love?
-
Awesome! You have to have patience. I am going to watch this again this time on Blu-ray as I have a review copy so I can write up my review on it. The main actor resembles George Clooney somewhat and I think he was in SAW III. Chris Evans is pretty funny in this, seemingly given more freedom with his character than the Fantastic Four movies. This type of movie is hard to put a good-great trailer together for being as most of the coolest moments are potential spoilers and it's harder to break down for simple commercials so the trailers for this might not do the movie justice. Some people might not get it the first time around, but I found it pretty easy to follow. There is a lot of humor, sarcasm and comedy mixed with action. In the end The Losers is very well worth seeing and I like owning it. I wouldn't blind-buy it, because not everyone will like this, but give it a rental and you should like it.
-
I have the original and the remake. In my opinion (and this is as a die-hard John Carpenter fan) I loved the remake better. Better characters, better actors, better storyline. The great thing about the original Precinct 13 is the score and mood which Carpenter does best. Carpenter is the King of isolation movies, trapped in the artic with a deadly body-impersonating alien ala The Thing, trapped in a house with a serial killer ala Halloween, trapped in a small-town covered with a mysterious fog that bring pirate ghosts seeking revenge ala The Fog. Precinct 13 is one of the rarer remakes that are as good or better than the original. I say this and I have almost all Carpenters movies on DVD & Blu-ray.
-
You seem really mad at a show that went off the air many, many years ago. MST3K and Rifftrax isn't for everyone...but I'm a huge fan and have been since the Joel era. Yes the show mocks movies, but damn it many of the movies in question NEED mocking. It's all done tongue and cheek and it's pretty lighthearted. Nothing for anyone to get bent out of shape over. There's was never any inherently mean spirited riffing from any of the varying MST3K crews. The Family Guy writers however - seem to have a real nasty, mean streak...though I'm a fan of that show as well. I disagree about it taking no effort to mock films...sit and try to do it (as many idiots on youtube have done) and see if you can come anywhere close to being as funny as those dudes. They have a comic timing and vast knowledge of film and pop culture that is deserving of respect.
-
I may in fact be biased on that movie, as I designed Ben Cross's web site. The truth comes out. (Must be the beer).
-
It actually introduced me to some movies that i then bought by themselves but stil like it, i guess im the rare ones who appreciate both things about em.
-
OK, thanks... now I'll HAVE to check it out!
-
I didn't think I'd like The Losers going into the movie. It won me over though, big-time. Movies like that is what makes being a movie reviewer fun. I was plesantly surprised. Tracy Morgan's acting in Cop Out was horrendous. If a movie's so bad you can't get past the first ten minutes then you know it's a stinker. Cop Out is to cop buddy films (like 48 hours, Rush Hour)what My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Catwoman & Batman & Robin are to superhero films. It gives them a bad name by association. I feel bad for Bruce Willis but he needs to be choosier than doing movies like this. I think it would be scary being stoned and seeing this movie. You'd probably end up thinking aliens came to earth and snatched Hollywood actors bodies and casted them in bad movies as torture for past sins.
-
Man, I caught part of that on TV one day... and she was tossing some CG shark around an apartment...
-
Batman and Robin or My Super Ex-Girlfriend? Uma Thurman in each. I paid 99 cents to see Batman & Robin and fell asleep, only movie I slept through. Saw Super Ex-Girlfriend channel surfing and couldn't watch more than a couple minutes. Both are dreadful insults to comic-book films.
-
as it's an atrocity committed against my favorite comic book character.

theres a few funny scenes in My Super Ex-Girlfriend
by captain_americas_cock_shaped_helmet
like when she almost breaks his cock off and fucks him to death.
-
...box set, but ZI have to buy it cause of the Siegel flick and The Phenix City Story. And if that IS'NT the best film of the bunch, then this will be a very good box set indeed.
-
Such a cool schlock sci-fi/horror flick. Corman made a number of them that are just a joy to watch. Like THE NEST, which I bet most haven't even heard of.

In Bruges was nominated for Best Original Screenplay Oscar.
by outlawsdelejos
Rightly so, it's fucking awesome.

You're still wrong about everything, as usual. I rarely, very rarely call people trolls, but you are one. A real textbook classic case of troll. Congratalations, troll-boy, you must be so proud of yourself.
-
"My Super Ex-Girlfriend" just showed the true colours of Ivan Fucking Reitman. How i fucking hate that hack! Always did, always will. His son seems to have turned alright, though. There is only one good thing i have to say about Ivan Reitman, and that is that he produced some of Cronenberg's earlier movies that help kickstart Cronenberg's career. That is the only, only good thing i have to say about that assclown hack.
-
I LIKE LUKE WILSON AND THOUGHT PARTS OF SUPER EX GIRLFRIEND WAS FUNNY. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A GIANT STICK UP YOUR ASS AND NEVER LAUGH OR SMILE, YOU ONLY MASTERBATE TO PRETENTIOUS SELF INDULGENT MENTAL MASTURBATORY ART, THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME WRONG. THAT MAKES YOU A TOOL. SO GO FUCK YOURSELF SIDEWAYS.
-
Flatery will take you nowhere, even if in all-caps.
-
I'll bet he's always wanted to do that!
-
What did you say to piss off CAPTAIN_AMERICAS_COCK_SHAPED_HEL MET???
He does not sound like a happy chappy. -
Well, i didn't kissed Mickey Bay's ass. That sufficed.
-
Oh, ok. He did seem paticluarly angry. I dont always agree with you dude, but, you're entitled to your opinion as much as anyone else.
-
I'm suprised that Big Harry didn't do it before and much sooner. His first did cracked me up, i found it hillarious. Well played, Mr Knowles, well played.
-
We agree more often then not, i believe.
-
Besides, you took your nick from QUANTUM LEAP, how can I antipathise or be very different to a person like that?
-
Yeah, we do agree often actually, even if you did hate Star Trek. Ha.
AICN needs people who are willing to generate discussion, otherwise, whats the point of talkbacks? -
was to argue, attack, and assault everyone else on here? At least it sometimes seems that way (especially if your screenname is named after some famous person's body parts - DGDB and ScarJo'sBM come to mind)
-
You're probably right. Certainly feels like that sometimes.
-
these TB's WOULD be a place for discussion without all the hate, venom, and bile (and WITH an edit function) - then again, if I could make the world right everyone in the Govt., everyone on Wall Street, and everyone at BP would all be fired and replaced with competent people for whom personal greed wasn't a priority - schyeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt!
-
I about blew milk out of my nose laughing! I honestly think that's the first time I appreciated someone getting a "first" - kudos!
-
Last week, Quentin_Rodriguez got first at the obituary of Harvey Pekar:)) Now THAT would have cracked me up if it weren't for the sad news
-
but still good fun
-
Hey,
There is only one baboon in this movie not baboon's, and come on Harry use your spell checker it's baboon not babboon. -
My favorite thing about this film is the setting - not only is it beautiful, it's interesting and I haven't seen it before. I live near NYC and as much as I love Times Square and the city in general, I don't need to see it in EVERY movie and TV show. I love watching travel shows on my HDTV and I often think to myself, "This would make a great setting for a movie". In Bruges is basically a black comedy set in an episode of Rick Steves' Europe.

Amazon links, I'll post it here. Through his link to Amazon, I purchased the complete "Brady Bunch" series box for my nephews. What a mess it is - totally inept packaging. After several years, Amazon has suddenly, temporarily stopped selling it....hmmmmm, I wonder if several ordered it through this site, and had the sense to complain. It's that supposedly "cool" shag carpet box thing....the box comes apart, the DVDs have glue on them, etc. People were apparently complaining from the beginning, I now see, but it took this long for Amazon to do something. They are taking it back, of course. I doubt that CBS/Paramount will ever rethink the packaging, unfortunately. They had to KNOW what they put together was/is crap......
-
I like that movie more each time I see it. Blows The A-Team movie out of the water. The Losers cast actually seem like guys who have worked together for years. I wonder how much time the cast spent before filming to get to know each other. And Assault On Precinct 13 redux was the best John Capenter movie remake. Still not necessary but decent for what it was. Now The Fog and Halloween remakes, don't get me started. As a rabid Kevin Smith 1990's fan, I won't go near Cop Out. If it looks and smells like shit then it must be shit.
-
watched mother last night-one of the best movies of the year! also people who dont like in bruges are not to be trusted
-
onto the DVD cover?"Four Stars" - Roger Ebert“An intoxicating adventure of the mind. One of the best movies of this century.”-Richard Roeper"Mind Blowing" - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone"I ... Fell Asleep (a few times)" - Harry Knowles, Aintitcool.com
-
(d'oh!)
-
It was a rather comedy free comedy though, outside of Seann William Scott, which I thought I'd never bring my self to write. For some reason it reminded me of Brian DePalma's Wise Guys, his "Abbott & Costello meet the Mafia" goof off between Body Double and The Untouchables. It too costarred an ex-SNL member who's barely bearable, and rambled along until its conclusion, with two schmoes in over their head.And c'mon, it was great to hear Harold Faltermeyer again, sounding the exact same as in 1986.
-
Harry, lighten up. I can watch a bad movie and enjoy it as much as the next guy, but to say that some of the movies these guys make fun of are dear to you? Really? So when was the last time you sat down with Yoko and popped "Soultaker" or "Manos" or "A Touch of Satan" or "Time Chasers" in and relaxed? Come on man. These movies are terrible and if nothing else, MST3K only makes us appreciate them more than we would otherwise. You CAN'T tell me you have never made fun of a bad movie for the sheer joy of it. Never sat around with your good friends Roger Ebert and Robert Rodriguez and ripped "Boggy Creek 2" a new one? Lighten up man. A terrible movie can be just as much fun as a great one. It's all in the name of loving the medium.
-
but if anyone can tell me how in God's name a forest just happens to be near a DOWNTOWN DETROIT police station, as in Precinct 13 redux, well..just say I'll be impressed. Yes, I live in Michigan, so sue me.
-
It hasn't been mentioned in a few posts, and I had to add the love also.
-
everyone I contacted said *Thank God* and *No I won't be attending his wake*
-
I cannot take Harry’s suggestions for b-movies, z-movies and
independent movies seriously. Not anymore; I’ve been burnt too many times. The last
straw after adding several unknowns from this column to my Netflix cue, was THE HORSEMAN, suggested some weeks ago. It was strictly
amateur hour, through and through, and I couldn’t watch it to the end.
Harry: I love you, man. I love your site and I’m not about
to stop clicking on your sponsors and the links to guide me to but from now on,
I’m putting your opinion through a 50 gallon tank of sea salt.
-
Arguably Belmondo's most beloved "serious" action film in France. It has one of Ennio Morricone's very best scores!
-
When I first saw that movie I said the same thing. A forest next to a police station?... In Detroit? Great post man. Now about MST3K I love that show or whatever you call it. And Harry don't take it to heart if they are making for of movies you love. They make fun of everything and if you can't laugh at it then there is a problem. They have a site called Rifftrax where they do what they did before but to like current movies and it is hilarious! Now about Cop Out... That movie made me sad. I seriously thought it could be a lot of fun and then it just brutally beat me down. That movie has hands down the worst acted Villain I've ever seen. I mean I'm not one to run around screaming racist but that guy was over acting to the moon trying to be a Mexican drug cartel leader. Horrible just fucking horrible. I hope the movie Red will give me the bad ass Bruce Willis that I want and frankly deserve haha.
-
he just hates Irish people. He said it himself. Way to be objective there chief! Keep plugging that hole in your soul. In Bruges is a fucking astounding film, I was floored after it. If it had any faults it's that it wasn't long enough!
-
....
-
SCOTTPILGRIM SUCKS MY BALLS!
-
But all I can focus on right now is:
"Thats for killing John Lennon, you f&*king c&*t"
I think it was that!! In Bruges is superb, a sadly missed-by-many classic. -
And I'm a liar. It's a fantastic movie. Hilarious and brutal.
-
I have got to see In Bruges immediately
-
you were doing Alpha Dog this week. I was slightly curious as to what you'd say about it, as I saw it and got more sucked in than I thought I might... that Justin Timberlake is half-decent.
