Excellent climax.. I liked Morgan Freeman's performance.

The Third man:Simple,uncomplicated thriller which instead of keeping me on the edge of the seat left me with a light head and a smile on the face.But I liked that feeling,whoever said thrillers have to be tension filled.

Pace was fast,acting all around was good.Graham Greene :thumbsup: for the screen play.


Jackie Brown:QT :cool2: .Enjoyed the smart,colourful,expletive ridden dialogues and for the first time the songs in an English movie.Samual Jackson was excellent as Ordell Robbie and so was Pam grier(who is she?) in the title role.The guy who played Max cherry(Robert Forster) also was impressive.

The only disappointment was Robert De Niro in a role which I felt was underwhelming.

Heh! Cinefan DeNiro angled really hard for Forster's role when QT was casting but was turned down!

Caught Ironman 2. It was fun while it lasted. Plays realllly well to the geek gallery!

About deniro's part in Jackie Brown, from an earlier discussion..

This character had been in jail for many years, and Deniro's performance is so great that the audience could make-out what he had been through & the past more often than not, shows up in one's demeanor. It also explains the levels of indifference & self-containment that Deniro's character is able to manufacture, against Jackson's girlfriend, played by Bridget Fonda. After QT's elucidation, I'm able to appreciate Bobby's part a bit more! :D

k-g,I could see that.You felt here was a guy who is tired in life and is indifferent.But still could not accept someone like De Niro in that part.

To say nobody else could have done it that way except him is hypothetical.

OF course, somebody else would have nailed it. Someone in the stature of Deniro doing such a tiny part is sacrilege to me, too. But Deniro wanted to act in as many movies as he could (as he was building TribeCa complex and film festival), he signed for QT's film with Weinstein company (who have produced all QT films) And they also had a much-publicized payment tussle while doing that film. Apparently, Deniro shouted at QT on-set, for not getting paid. A recently leaked telephone conversation between QT and Harvey Weinstein (who I hate for shuffling around Scorsese like old-school studio mogul)

:shock: News to me. Also learned about Midnight Run 2. Ippo ulla nelamaiyila, athu Midnight Stroll-a-taan irukka mudiyum. But then, in Righteous Kill De Niro looked, say, about 15 years younger.
