Not the best from Mel Brooks, but there was laugh a plenty. No wonder its hard to laugh at some of those so-called parody that's coming out of the Hollywood factory these days. Nice to see Spike Milligan in it. Great man, Milligan!!!

My other favourite moment.
Madeline Kahn: The servant waits while the master bathes. :?
Roman Officer: Do you know the penalty for a slave who strikes a Roman citizen?
[people in the crowd raise hands enthusiastically]
Roman Officer: Ok, you... you had your hand up first.
Man in crowd: Death by torture!
Roman Officer: No... You?
Man in crowd: Crucifixion!
Roman Officer: Wrong! You?
Man in crowd: They shove a living snake up your ass!
Roman Officer: Ah, no... but that's very creative!
Moses: The Lord, the Lord Jehovah has given unto you these fifteen...
[drops one of the tablets]
Moses: Oy! Ten! Ten commandments for all to obey! :lol:

Another one, can't forgot the exact dialogue that follows, but Brooks' Jewish Old man shtick :lol:
God: Moses...(blah, blah)...do you hear me.
Moses: Yah, yah, a dead man can hear you.

Two very powerful movies. TSR deserves to be #1 at the IMDb. :notworthy:
Bourne 3 - Save for the shaky camera this one is a fantastic action piece. Bourne fighting Desh in a house is one of the best action scenes choreographed. Great agility and speed.
As LM, said in an other thread the final shot in the film with Damon coming out of water coupled with the Moby - Extreme Ways soundtrack is a :smokesmirk: moment.
And ???. Onnum illa.

Have you seen United 93 by the same director? Adhuvum full-a shaky cam-dhan.
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (1954) revisit...after the novel's reread (after Tondhy yearssss).
Kirk Douglass is soooo wrong!!!! There is something noble in Ned Lands of the book though he may or may not be cannibal himself. Peter Lorre's dubious professor's servant is an improvement. James Mason and Paul Lucas as the actual lead, Captain Nemo and Prof. Arronax are wonderful. Particularly Mason who injected a bit more emotion to Nemo. Nice smooth story telling, but still captivating action scenes and, in particular, the squid attack which must have been brilliant at that time. I leave the comparison between nuclear paranoia, environmentalism, Verne's prophecy, etc to the experts. It's still enjoyable even in small screen (the DVD came with a Donal Duck cartoon, seeing that this is a Disney film, that also shows the power of Cinemascope, the first for the studio).
Has anybody watched "The Shawshank Redemption"?
Way back when it was released. Felt it was good then. Not sure how I would feel now.
It will be very difficult to find anyone here (active in this thread) who hadn't watched Shawshank yet.
Groucho,
Have you watched "Seven days in May" starring Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster? I have the DVD but haven't watched it yet.
No, Thilak. Gosh, what a cast and crew (just checked imdb).
Both have done a few films together, haven't they? I've seen only Gunfight at the O.K. Corall (so and so). And Frankenheimer's The Train with Burt was awesome!!!
The Gift box also contains "The Train", "The battleship Potemkin", "Career Girls", and "The boys from Brazil". Thanks to my sister for sending it a full week before my actual b'day.
These are original dvds with good many extra features. I will try to post the extras in youtube.
Thanks for making me jealous :P . But nevertheless, do post the xtras especially ones about The Train :D
You're an old timer pal. These are just 'Five easy pieces' for ya. :D
I guess you would also feel it is good right now.Quote:

amazing movie. can watch it for any number of times....
You like him here, you will like him in Mystic River. Me, I actually think he makes a fine comedic actor. Re: Hudsucker Proxy...and was hillarious in second Austin Power movie as the President, itching to press the red button, "Jiminy Jumpin' Jesus, I can't believe we're gonna pay that madman. I got nukes out the ying-yang. Just let me launch one, for God's sake." :lol:Quote:

Just started reading a collection of Groucho Marx's letters. Hilarious.
Here's a sample
"You see, I write by the ear. I tried writing with the typewriter but I found it too unwieldy. I then tried dictating to my secretary but after some months of futility I realized that she too, was unwieldy"
:rotfl3:
The very first letter is a series of letters written to Warner Brothers on their objection to his naming a film "A Night in Casablanca". :lol:
Groucho, have you read this book ??
X Men Wolverine - Not upto the standards of X Men I & III .. Climax thaan paaka mudiyala, adhukulla air hostress vandhu headphones-a pudingitaa :(
I read few of those when I stepped into Landmark. I didn't buy, naturally. But from the selective excerpt, it seems to have a gem strewn everywhere. I love his style. And I hope to not ape it.Quote:
Groucho Marx's letters
2012 - Awesome CGI, awful film.
From Hell - Jack the ripper identified in this movie
enjoyed it..excellent story... good acting by inspector,ripper and one of the main prostitute others did not fit the role...
"Boys from Brazil"
- Memorable performances by the lead cast if not the most authentic. Olivier is a chameleon. :notworthy:
- Not the first in fictional entanglement of post-holocaust Nazi/Jew-hunters, and not the best either
- Very much a 60s film (although it got made in late 70s with lush colors. the book was written in 70s too), invariably dated
- the most intriguing explanation of cloning in a feature film. I enjoyed it.
- Overall, a film I much enjoyed for its audacity and works as a thriller for the most part.
same here.......i think this is going to be the best ever CG film ever made.........expected more on tsunami scenes but still held its own.........storyline very weak, "templated" characters, predictable screenplay, very childish untertones and ordinary dialogues......but im not complaining because of the "out of the world" graphics......first time, i have seen CG, being so overwhelming, that it went to the proportions of being scary.......it was like going on a roller coaster ride with u sitting stable and objects on the screen revolving around you 8-) ......but thats just abt it - its not even a "smart" movie.......some of the IMDB comments call it a "overhyped" B grade movie :shock: :lol:Quote:

Gosh, the film surely feels different watching with an audience (one, my wife). It's much funnier now, and Jack Nicholson (his debut as director) was a hoot to watch. With beard and all, he looked like Jack Black, except the original Jack was and is funnier. Superb fun, this movie.
Cleopatra Jones (1973)
Ah blaxploitation....from my birth year too...
Okay let me see:
Groovy funky Supersexy leading lady: Check.
Groovy funky soundtrack: Check.
Groovy funky costume and Afros: Check.
Groovy funky but badly choreographed martial arts: Check.
Groovy funky lesbianism hints: Check.
Groovy funky car chase: Check.
Okay, the last one was not groovy or funky, but it was certainly a good car chase scene done at the time when they know how to shoot and edit a car chase sequence. Corvette vs Mustang and another muscle car. Awesome!!
Now, I've got to get Cleopatra and Casino of Gold.
Note: Beyonce played the parodied version of Cleo, called Foxxy Cleopatra in Austin Powers 3. She didn't nail it, and the fro was no match to the original!.
Wife: How can she fight with all those furs and high heels?
Grouch: Yeah, baby....
