Also if you're watching Movie Movie, I'd recommend skipping the first black and white boxing half, and just go straight to the musical portion, Bostwick is barely in the first half, and the second segment is considerably better than the first.
Possibly the greatest Actors director of all-time, the themes of Faith and Death are at some of their most prevalent in his works that I've long found greatly intriguing. Has one of the all-time great Director-Cinematographer collaborations with Sven Nykvist, Fanny And Alexander's one of my all-time favourite films and I'm thankful for his discovery of Max Von Sydow.
And Woody Allen should never be spoken in the same breath as him.
Louis: During the Supporting round, could you watch: Damien: Omen II A Wedding Doomed Love The Meetings Of Anna Violette Nozière The Fury (De Palma/Kirk Douglas) Drunken Master The Big Fix The Last Waltz Percevel Empire Of Passion The Demon The Betsy Fedora Eyes Of Laura Mars Convoy
Matt: I do hope he gets a five for something, an actor with that great reputation shouldn't be forever fiveless. Aside from The Silent Partner and Remember, I only have him down for reviews in The Fall Of The Roman Empire and Murder By Decree.
So I took Louis' advice today and watched "Kiss of the Spider Woman", which I ended up liking quite a bit. Long story short, I thought it was an intriguing and smartly handled story, especially given the time period and how that could've affected some of its subject matter.
Hurt - 5 (Brilliant performance) Juilia - 5 ("I share this with Raul" indeed)
Gorgeous ethereal work from Zimmer, that manages to create sort of a sense of the biblical epics of old, with that of a modern rendition in the form of in terms of the choices. It is beautifully layered work, particularly in his use of voices, that open the song in more quiet type rather than the grand vocals typically associated with an epic. This of course seguing towards a real splendor and grandeur to be expected from what the Bush represents.

Best guess is egotism, as any interview suggests a complete lack of self-awareness, and the quality of his work proceeded inversely with stature as a director.

Which cut of Dawn of the Dead are you going off of?
Michael:
139 minute "director's cut".
Also if you're watching Movie Movie, I'd recommend skipping the first black and white boxing half, and just go straight to the musical portion, Bostwick is barely in the first half, and the second segment is considerably better than the first.
Louis: With that Bergman performances list, I feel that Ullmann in Face To Face would be higher if you were able to see the full version.
Interesting group.

And your rating and thoughts on Alan Bates in An Unmarried Woman.
I must say, I'm happy you've grown to like Bergman overtime because at one point, you weren't sure whether his work would be to your liking.
Luke, with you being a big fan of Ingmar Bergman, what would be your overall thoughts on him as a filmmaker?

Luke, thanks. What about when someone needs to bring up Woody Allens' films to highlight what makes Bergmans' great? :)
Luke: Damn, I missed that xD :)

Anonymous: I can accept that. But if anyone thinks Allen's on Bergman's level, they must be smoking crack.
*whispers softly* Maybe upgrade John Vernon
Luke, fair enough. Your rating predictions for this lineup?
Louis: And if you haven't already, a re-watch of The Deer Hunter for a John Savage upgrade.
Kotto - 4.5
Plummer - 4.5
Bostwick - 4.5
Dern - 4/4.5
Reiniger - 4/4.5

I really have no idea, but I'd love to see Plummer get a win.
Matt: What would you give him for Remember.
Luke: A five, but it's really not a good movie at all.
Louis: Thoughts on 'Burning Bush' from The Prince Of Egypt.
Matt: I do hope he gets a five for something, an actor with that great reputation shouldn't be forever fiveless. Aside from The Silent Partner and Remember, I only have him down for reviews in The Fall Of The Roman Empire and Murder By Decree.
Luke: To be fair, to really appreciate him fully, you need to his stage work. His Prospero was life-changing for me.

PS: none of these guys can take down Christopher Walken
Louis: Your top 5 performances directed by Tom Hooper.
So Scott Reiniger is a literal Afghan prince. Evidently one of his ancestors received the title after pledging military support to a regional ruler.
Louis and Luke, in your opinions, why do you think Tom Hoopers’ TV work is better than their film output (excluding The Damned United)?
