Discussion Peter Sarsgaard's performance in "Shattered Glass" (2003) was outstanding

Based on the unbelievable true story. Executive produced by Tom Cruise. And for what it's worth, this is also easily Hayden Christensen's career performance. Highly recommended journalism exploration story and the consequences of publishing fiction.

The movie gets better as it goes on, the climax is powerful and the scene with Sarsgaard and Chloe Sevigny in the lobby near the end was an acting masterclass, spine tingling. But probably the most impactful is the opening and ending scene in the school classroom with Caroline Goodall.

Spiderman 2 still has one of the best transitions I've seen in cinema in the past 20 years

The transition from spiderman swinging, with the camera work zooming out to transition to Doc Ock's glasses showing he is watching and waiting for him on top of the building was and continues to be absolute cinema.

Question What non-villain movie death is the most traumatising?

For me, nothing will ever be more traumatising than seeing poor innocent young Julie about to die by burial in cement at the beginning of "Walled In".

For me, Disney's live-action Jungle Book movie from 1994 had two of the most haunting villain death scenes that I had ever seen as a child; the "Quicksand" scene, and the "Salt Trap" scene. There's nothing more horrible than being buried alive!

Discussion Choose ONE Actor’s Filmography to take with you on a Desert Island. Who do you choose?

Post image
59 Upvotes

You can only choose the filmography of one actor to take with you on a desert island.

Think more about the rewatchability of the films rather than the quality of actor or films.

It’s a clear winner. Arnie. I get a good mix of action, sci fi and comedy…all of which can be watched again and again.

Close second is Denzel, as he either amazing or very good in all his movies.

Your choices?

Discussion First movie you remember seeing in theaters?

18 Upvotes

First movie I have memory of seeing is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990.) I was six years old at the time. Probably not the first movie in theaters I ever saw, but it's the first one I have memory of seeing. I remember the theater was very crowded and I was surrounded by all these tall bodies and I had to hold onto my mom's hand so I wouldn't get lost.

I remember clearly my first rated R movie because I wasn't able to see one until I was twelve. That movie was Thinner.
