Re: Earth’s Mighty Shield: THE AVENGERS

didn't anyone find hulk's attack on black widow a bit disturbing? hulk may be a near mindless beast but if you've read the comics or watched the bixby show you'll see that his one true desire is to be left alone. he's never intentionally attacked an innocent. someone posited that he may have been controlled by loki's staff but i don't think so. it would seem loki had to have the staff in his possession and touch the person in the heart for it to take control. that's how stark defeated the staff's power. now i could buy that hulk was confused and would possibly attack her for a moment, but he would soon realize she was no threat and under his own steam stop and probably jump away. in the movie he comes after her in a murderous rampage and doesn't stop until outside circumstances force it. i don't like this use of the character. and i know the use of the hulk in the ultimate universe has been much darker but i still believe the one and only original character would not have acted in this way. actually a minor quibble though considering this movie kicked all kinds of butt. i'm a dc fan first and foremost but i left the theatre knowing that marvel and joss whedon had hit this one out of the park. downey jr. especially was great fun to watch.

Shot digital. How much you wanna bet that it'll be wacky but lacking?

Reflections of Lee Tamahori's Mulholland Falls, with Nick Nolte as the head of
L.A.'s Hat Squad. It's good to see Josh Brolin's 2nd coming proving very strong
for him, besides Nolte himself. Cant wait to se it.

I guess it's more a question of opinion than anything else. I love all of his movies and feel he always makes them with passion. His passion for cinema is undeniable and it's present in all of his movies. Some of you may disagree with they being all great works of art, but that's really what I feel, and that's surely what I expect from Django Unchained.
Are they all perfect? No, but I still enjoy them very much.

The ending reminds me of that of The Last Sunset, with Kirk Douglas. Instead of pulling out a fake gun, he has no bullets, but duels knowing he's going to die, just like D-Fens. Maybe that was a homage Michael paid to his father?

BTW, last Tuesday, I saw Iron Sky for the second time and it was an entirely different experience compared to the first time -- it was just AWESOME! Neither of the flaws mentioned above bothered me the least; all the more was I fascinated & delighted. And this time I could grasp many more of the jokes, which are just hilarious (most of them). This was for sure the event of the last months for me, may be even for the months to come. And Laibach's cover of the song "Under the Iron Sky" is so GREAT! All these guys -- the director, the cast, the producers, the music composers, etc -- have done a great job!

Great accessment of a great movie! Im looking forward to see if your

Like Mr Menezes, I, too, saw this film with my father, along with
alot of others I'll never forget and thank my dad for introducing
them to me.

I thought it was one of the most sinister, depressing, discouraging and deeply disturbing movie ever... the violence (not necessarily in its graphic nature itself) is so harrowing, I cannot get the pictures out of my head

Great text for a great film. The first time I saw Shane I was 10 or 11, with my father, and some of those poweful images along with the feelings I had remain in my memory to this day. Truly one of the classics. Thanks for bringing those memories back.

One minor correction: In Drum, the title character is not related to Mede from Mandingo. He's the son of Tamboura, an enslaved African king who is sold to a French madame at a New Orleans whorehouse. Drum is the result of their forbidden romance and he is eventually sold to Hammond Maxwell, the protagonist of Mandingo, and groomed for pretty much the same fighting slave role occupied by Mede in the first film. The confusion over this is probably not helped by Mede and Drum both having been played by Ken Norton.

Vladimir Bostanov — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 10:09:13 -0000

This is the first critique of Iron Sky that almost 100% confirms my impression -- I saw the film yesterday and my feelings were mixed, because it was not what I had expected, and the flaws I saw were exactly the ones listed above. But there was positive surprise as well. There's a lot of real art in it -- i.e. the fascinating aesthetics of costume design and the dark industrial Nazi-Gothic shit. There are also so many jokes at different levels (verbal, visual, direct, metaphorical, etc) that seeing the film just once was simply not enough (at least for me) to understand and appreciate them all. The ending was also surprising -- even though I had read about it and I was expecting it. The film suddenly became kind of earnest for me and awoke an association with movies depicting the end of World War II. Another instant association was with the 1960's -- Christopher Kirby and Julia Dietze like hippies starting a hippie commune on the moon... It was a very funny feeling, kind of disturbing, and the suspicion that there is a hidden (or may be rather obvious?) message in the ending of the film.

Wow, no need to be pissy about it. I didn't mean to be insulting! (And, technically, according to MY "math," 2012 would be THIS December and 2013 would be NEXT.)

When you say "next December," you don't really mean 12/2013, do you? Can't really be anywhere near that long, can it?

Nice review of a film I need to see.

I was on the site for your Killers post but happened to click on this review shortly after watching Buono in 4 for Texas, which was on UK television today. He stars opposite Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra and holds his own nicely as the hotheaded Burden, complete with dodgy Southern accent. I'll look out for him in more films.
