I liked how the first one ended, with him “coming back to life”. When I first it I was about 13, and I remember being shocked and thinking for a split second he was going to kill John or Holly. Then Carl Winslow I mean Al having some redemption was pretty awesome I thought.
Anyway it’s a shame that Die Hard 3 has sort of a contrived ending. The fact that Simon even had aspirin was stupid enough. Still a good movie though.
I totally agree. I’m not exactly sure how it went down, but it seems like Karras fought the demon once it tried to possess HIM, and Karras threw himself out of the window in order to kill the demon as well.
Karras friend in priesthood asks a dying Karras if he wants to confess his sins, and we see Karras moving his fingers and gripping onto his friends hand, as if to confess his sins and prepare himself for his passage to heaven.
The exorcism worked, as it saved Reagan.
But 4 showed it was possible for the boy to forget the pictures under those circumstances. The audience has to suspend their disbelief throughout the movie, not only to go along with the plot, but to also remember that everything 8 is saying is possible. And if it’s possible, then nothing can be proven beyond all reasonable doubt.
You’re getting your jurors mixed up. 3 was the one with the son.
I think 10, the racist, changed his vote because he realized the last piece of evidence, the female witness, was shaky after the bit about the glasses. His racist monologue was his last desperate chance at an argument for guilty. Once that didn’t work, he had nothing to back his racist “guilty” vote.
On Dinner For Five, Burt Reynolds talks about how the scene did affect Beatys psyche a little bit. Burt tells a story about how he persuaded Ned to try and get over the experience by taking a trip down the river again, with a guide and all. Of course the guide, when they approach the location of the rape scene, points out to the whole tour, “that’s where Ned Beatty was raped in the movie Deliverance!” Lol.
Never thought of it before, but I think he was a family man, but his kids were probably grown. I could tell that he didn’t really like being the mean principal, but he just had a bad attitude and had long run out of patience.
It’s a good movie, but not a perfect one. Maybe you’re not the target audience.
I liked Creed a lot and definitely think it’s one of the best Rocky movies, even up there with the first one. But last time I watched it I thought parts of it felt forced, like Donny and his girlfriend both had this bad attitude that was sort of off putting.
Yeah I agree. I usually don’t pay too much attention to the score, but hearing the main theme 5 times in the first 20 minutes was ridiculous.
Plus he had a broken arm. There’s not much chance he could’ve done anything to help his situation.
He was manipulative and I hated every second he was on screen.
She’s just that friend Anita has yet to get rid of.
Lol there’s actually a website where they show pics of either Bill and quiz you on which one it is.
Objectively it may be the best of Moore’s, but I enjoy Live and Let Die and For Your Eyes Only more.
Not your cup of tea, is that right? That’s most unfortunate.
Wow that part of about the bass sound of the twisters is awesome.
I think you got you Bills confused tho.
Well you’re right, but it’s not like Twister didn’t rake in $400 mil without an A-list actor.
Independence Day certainly benefited from Will Smith’s rise to mega-stardom, and there should’ve been even more of him in the movie.
I wouldn’t say either movie is that much better than the other. I like Twister a little better, mostly because Independence Day is too long and drawn out, what with the ensemble cast, only half of which I care to watch (Smith, Pullman, and Quaid).
I've never seen this movie, but I do know that Shields posed nude at TEN YEARS OLD, for a Playboy publication called "Sugar n Spice". This leads me to believe that there were some real sickos, including Hugh Hefner, who were child sex traffickers finding loopholes all in the name of art. This movie may be a product of that. The purpose wasn't art, but instead child porno, from what I can determine.
(Nor for me: I still gave it 8/10. I think even aside from time constraints, they had written themselves into a box on those guys: they pumped up the drama by making them so adamant, and then when they had to have a unanimous decision to acquit at the end (obviously a hung jury would have been an unsatisfying conclusion), they had nowhere realistic to go.)
I can understand your opinion, because I thought the same. But then I started to climb
inside of the heads of those 2 men. I thought that the racist man noticed the indents on
the lady witnesses face as well, but couldn't bring himself to admit it out loud. Even if he
was racist, he knew deep down inside that not all people from the slums are bad, and that
the fact that the woman wore glasses was irrefutable, racist or not.
The other juror, the man with the son, had to admit to himself that his vote was based on
a personal grudge against his son. He sympathized with the dead father I believe, and was
hellbound to hang the accused son. Once he realized that there was no evidence to back
up his grudge-based vote, he broke down and voted "not guilty."
Any one of the jurors could have gone to the judge with the info that #8 investigated the crime, bought the knife, and brought it into the jury room - and almost certainly a judge would declare a mistrial (among other jury misconducts). That would have solved everything. They could have gotten a mistrial, told the defense their "theory" and he would have a new trial
Who on earth would snitch to the judge like that? Even though they weren't convinced at first and had some objections, they knew that #8 was making good points, that his investigations were totally justified. I don't know of one mature grown man who would be so low as to tattle on #8. Men should know when to keep something between the men in the room, and despite some of these characters having faults, they had enough self-respect than to go tell the judge.
