And I'll have to give Spidey 2 another chance. :) How awesome was Bruce Campbell in Spidey 3, too? Such a glorious saving grace.

No dispute with the above, but regarding Andrew Garfield's portrayal - while I do see your point of view - I didn't see his confidence in certain contexts as necessarily inconsistent with his character, particularly since they were very clear with his limits. Peter was confident enough, for instance, to stop Flash from…

I don't think it's a trend anymore; found footage movies have been around too long. It's just a technique. If it's done well, I find there are fewer more immersive experiences. I think, for horror especially, found footage movies can be magnificently effective. Also they seem to allow a certain amount of leeway within your…

Easy, pumpkin. If I were to disguise my meaningless comments as any kind of rhetoric it wouldn't be the cheap stuff. A guy's gotta have standards, right? ;) Sorry if you felt provoked, it wasn't my intention; I was listing the superhero films I saw as superior to Spider-Man 2. It was a logical way of illustrating why I…

Thanks, Isaiah!

I don't know; I've only seen the first two Resident Evil movies but they were precisely middle of the road for me. They either need to get far more out there or far more down-to-earth to get my attention. Then again, I heard there was an army of Milla Jovoviches in the last one, so I'll admit that piqued my curiosity.…

Hell on Wheels Season One - 3 stars from 5 Set in the red-hot aftermath of the US Civil War, this take-no-prisoners Western is about the building of the Union Pacific Railroad but the clip at which it moves is anything but steady. The setup: deeply likable anti-hero Cullen Bohannon (an ex-Confederate soldier who once owned…

Fantastic. My skin just about crawled right off. That gets right to the heart of some of our worst fears. And the found-footage angle looks just awesome, really working to the technique's strengths: immediate, raw, real. God, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to handle that in cinemas. :)

Well, my opinion on SM2 & 3's well documented, so I won't rehash it here, but suffice to say I think Raimi's original remains the best of them all, with TASP a close second. Speaking for myself, Emma Stone's appeal is her naturalistic style, really believable, really relatable (and she had much better lines than were…

"Academy Award Winner Daniel Day-Lewis", "Academy Award Winner Sally Field", "Academy Award Winner Tommy Lee-Jones". Just a subtle hint at what Lincoln's really angling for. :)

That's 10am Down Under. Hooray!

Ooh, loaded question, Sir. But a very interesting one.

Yeah, too many people seem to equate darkness with intelligence. I understand the mindset because it's easy to make cynicism look smart; it's a lot harder to be optimistic, especially in pop culture, and not come off saccharine. But my favourite scenes are always when people rally behind a hero, or come together to be…

Crux, I think we're in the business of agreement. :) As far as Spidey 2 goes, I get it, dude - plenty of people love it. I just couldn't get past the dialogue. But it had some moments - the New Yorkers carrying Spidey after the A-Train rescue was really nice (same with the crane driver in the reboot, though that smacked a…

Videography's not quite photography, but there ARE photos in the video. :) I've got a Youtube channel and our first show is about bad business decisions. This is our shoutout to JK Rowling, and how HP almost didn't happen. http://youtu.be/zu9JYlT-fPQ

Aw, don't get down, yony. :) Sorry if I went too hard (just going for the cheap laugh - my apologies). But animated discussion's good, no? It can Illuminate corners of films we hadn't looked at before. What did you like most about the new Spidey? As I say, I loved the beginning, I adored the performances, especially Andrew…

^There's more there than meets the eye initially; I totally screwed up the quoting HTML that time.

Small world, man. He's the half-brother of a sort-of school friend of mine and when I put out a call on Facebook earlier this year for actors for videos for my Youtube channel he put his hand up. Ever since the shoots I have been trying (very) unsuccessfully to get him to sign a talent release. Kid's a trifle unreliable. :)

Aw, shucks, Luke, you're not the worst guy around either. :) Hey, I've been meaning to tell you,: I think you may be studying with a mate of mine at JMC. He's doing film, too. Jake Moss, you heard of him? (And if I'm not allowed to mention other people's real names in HPF, I hereby apologise and submit myself for…
