Lucas Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Double feature Vincent Price in a very uncampy and disturbing role as Matthew Hopkins, the real life, self-proclaimed Witchfinder General No ghosts, supernatural happenings or cobwebbed castles - just the real horror of the self proclaimed judges of morality The aforementioned acting great Roy Scheider in the criminally underappreciated Sorcerer .. William Friedkin, Tangerine Dream and a cast of incredible actors http://mcphedranbadside.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/sorcerer-450x365.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 The Seven Ups Excellent cast all 'round, and a great companion piece to The French Connection ... Roy Scheider, as always, was great I haven't seen that movie since the seventies. I remember a car chase that ends up with Roy Scheider crashing into the back of a semi-trailer. According to the commentary, a lot of that car case was filmed guerrilla style, without permits .. and a few of the crew came close to serious injury when a parked car's door was clipped and went flying into where they were filming .. Roy Scheider had quite a run with The French Connection, Jaws, 7 Ups, Sorcerer - Don’t forget Marathon Man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure/Hopenosis Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I thought it was pretty good. My personal favorite of the MI movies was Ghost Protocol but I really liked this one.My family really liked this movie as well but the final crash/fight scene was WAY over the top...

Not a cinematic masterpiece but a fun diversion with some well-staged helicopter scenes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Marathon Man is set for Saturday with some friends Tonight, it was the nasty little Les Diabioliques inspired Crucible Of Horror 1971 .. No gore to speak of, and more psychological drama than straight horror, but this movie would never fly today if it were released now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Marathon Man is set for Saturday with some friends Such a great movie...also check Boys From Brazil if you haven't already for more creep-out albeit a bit OTT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Incredibles 2. Albeit slow in parts in the first half, it’s still highly enjoyable and smart. Those action scenes are at least as good and often better than any live action or animated film or show in that genre. Also, great use of existing characters and intro of new ones. Hope to see a part 3 somewhere down the road. Grade: B+ (I’d give Incredibles 1 an A+ btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see a part 3 somewhere down the road. Grade: B+ (I’d give Incredibles 1 an A+ btw) It was very entertaining, but it didn’t have the brilliant dialogue and thought-provoking themes that the original had. The villain’s identity was too easy to deduce. Predictably, Jack-Jack stole the show, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Charley Varrick [8/10] Matthau takes over for Eastwood. And it works. I saw this one once by chance years ago and loved it .. Up to that point, I had never even heard of it, but Walter Matthau and Andrew "Scorpio" Robinson were great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The Laughing Policeman [7/10] A very good gritty cynical 1970s police drama. A great opening sequence, a subdued Matthau, a wonderful Lou Gossett Jr. and a brilliant Bruce Dern are all exceptional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
