Fahrenheit is more of a fond memory, I suppose, I first saw it on TV a couple of years back, it probably kick-started my love for films.

The Boys from Brazil

 

Don't know if anyone here has seen that, but it involves a neo-nazi society trying to take over the world by producing hundreds of Hitler-clones and trying to raise them in similar circumstances (such as killing off all their fathers).

It is a well-known classic. Please refrain from posting your opinions of other posters (as per the ToS) and merely post your film critique.

 

Many thanks.

Someone implied that I said Natalie Portman is hot. I definitely did not say that. I think she has the potential to be a great actress, but I have never found her all that attractive. Honestly she looks too young to me, but again, I've been watching her in films since she was a young girl. She's not ugly, but she's just not my type. Sorry Natalie.

... Nor is she a good actress. (Okay, she was okay in Leon/The Professional, but that was child actress territory, and very few children end up making the transition to the adult arena.)

I thought she was okay in Closer, too.

- When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Come think of it, I can't quite remember what it was about, so you're probably right...

Closer was pretty icky. My wife pretty much glared at me for even picking it out. There was a lot of sex talk, but it wasn't edgy, it was just uncomfortable. It's also about people who can't be faithful to their spouses. I don't really get that.

It's based on a successful play. But the screenplay changed some of the fundamental aspects of the play (can't remember all the details off hand): I just remember that at the time of adjudication, when I had all the facts to hand, this was not a worthwhile film.

 

Infidelity is not patricularly new, noteworthy nor interesting.

Yesterday I finally managed to see Munich. I enjoyed it very much; Spielberg's way of dealing with multiple themes other than the main motive of the film shine trough, and the solid performance helped a lot. Even situations which may be considered pass
