Absolutely. Keep the budget small. Let del Toro go as dark as he wants. It won't set the box office alight but should make a profit. And Hellboy get's to complete his destiny.

Think they need to concentrate on a few more seasons of Reacher before cashing in on spinoffs. It's the almost comically infallible nature of Reacher's martial prowess that's the main focus of the Reacher novels. Neagley doesn't have that attribute. Having said that it's clear that ever since he let his brother take up the pen Child's focus is clearly on film and tv adaptations.

Have to agree with Dune. Villeneuve is probably two thirds of the way to having the greatest Sci-Fi trilogy of all time. Bladerunner 2049 is my favourite dystopian Sci-Fi. I prefer it to the original. Arrival and Sicario are both great films that revolve around strong female lead actors. Prisoners is bleakly chilling. While I haven't seen his first two films.

Although he didn't have the level of authority that he had with his later projects. I think his two collaborations with Kirk Douglas in Paths Of Glory and Spartacus are particularly fine films and brave considering the material and the time. That is not an endorsement of Douglas as a person but rather as an actor.

Completely agree that Arrival deserved at least a nomination. Amazing film and high quality acting from her. If you look at her six nominations I think her performance was better in at least three of her films than the eventual winner. In 2019 (Vice) she lost out to Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk). In 2014 (American Hustle) she lost out to Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine). In 2013 (The Master) she lost out to Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables). In 2011 (The Fighter) she lost out to Melissa Leo (The Fighter). In 2009 (Doubt) she lost out to Penelope Cruz (Vicky Cristina Barcelona). For someone of her talent it can only be a matter of time.

Definitely one of the most underrated crime films from the 2000's. Certainly Ridley Scott's best film from the last two decades. Crowe is good as the honest cop but it's Washington's enigmatic performance that finds you rooting for him even though he's responsible for the suffering of so many. A lot of Netflix is hit and miss. This is well worth a couple of hours. Especially if you enjoyed the Godfather Of Harlem series with Forest Whitaker.

Not a spectacular western but more realistic than most. Crowe does put in a charismatic performance. And Christian Bale is his usual intense self. While the underrated Ben Foster is gloriously villainous. Definitely worth streaming.

It's a good time loop Sci-fi film. Cruise is the ultimate professional in whatever role he plays. However, the source novel All You Need Is Kill not only has a better title but is also significantly different especially when it comes to the setting and final showdown between the two main characters. Instead of a sequel how about a more true Japanese adaptation.

Not an easy question to answer. Especially if like me you grew up watching them. Such a shame they are no longer economically viable to the big budget productions of the major studios. I belive the highest grossing western is Django Unchained and that took all of Tarantino's tongue in cheek referencing and graphic bloodletting to reach just shy of half a billion.

But it's fair to say that once upon a time the grand epic technicolor Western ruled the Silver Screen. Of those The Big Country, 1959, would be near the top of my list. The tale of two feuding patriarchs (and a truly great performance by Burl Ives) breaking upon the righteousness of Gregory Peck's fish out of water sea captain is set to a magnificently rousing score by Jerome Moross.

It would be remiss not to mention director John Sturges' output between 1955 and 1960 that saw three masterpieces in Bad Day At Black Rock, Gunfight At The O.K. Corall, and The Magnificent Seven.

The 1960's saw the start of the revisionist western and in deviating from tradition resulted in some compelling films. Of these Hombre and The Wild Bunch stand out for me.

It's interesting that only three westerns have ever won best picture at the Oscars. The last two of these were Dances With Wolves (wonderful score by John Barry) and my personal favourite western Unforgiven. Directed in 1992 by Clint Eastwood this dark tale of a reformed killer reverting back to his old nature is wonderfully gritty and bleak. It won three Oscars for Best Film, Director, and ing Actor, and Eastwood was nominated for his role as the murderous William Munny, but lost out to Pacino's saccharine performance in Scent Of A Woman.

Can't disagree with that choice. The 1969 original is my favourite John Wayne film by far. And Kim Darby puts in as precocious a performance as Hailee Steinfeld. But I think it's fair to say that the remake is the better film. Especially considering Glen Campbell's almost comedic performance. I would love to see Jeff Bridges revisit the role and remake Rooster Cogburn. Imagine trying to find someone to take on Katherine Hepburn's part.

Have to agree with Game Of Thrones being the best epic fantasy show of all time. Nothing before or after has reached those heights. Although Stranger Things was also a phenomena at it's height.

For a film revolving around a character who doesn't want or do much The Big Lebowski is a truly funny film. In my opinion the only person cooler than the Dude in a nineties comedy would be Martin Blank.

I love westerns and Tombstone is one of the rare gems of that genre released in the nineties. Val Kilmer's sarcastic and debonair portrayal of Doc Holliday being a fine counterpoint to Kurt Russell's steely Wyatt Earp. Out of all the versions I have watched over the years (and a lot of them more than once) I rate Kilmer's version as better than Jason Robards in Hour of The Gun, Stacey Keach in Doc, and Kirk Douglas in Gunfight At The OK Corral. The only one that comes close in my opinion is Dennis Quaid in Costner's good but bloated epic Wyatt Earp.

Totally agree. There's a lot of negative criticism for this show but personally I think it's one of the best sci fi series I've seen on a streaming service. Visually it looks stunning. The story being told is obviously complex yet also very engaging. I think in later years there will be more appreciation for this sweeping Asimov adaptation.

I hope so. He's got a lot riding on the line. It's taken him over 40 years and 120 million USD of his own money to get to this point. You've got to ire his tenacity. Although it could also be a case of being blinded by hubris. For me Coppola's prime was the seventies and early eighties. In my opinion after his superb double in 83 with The Outsiders and Rumble Fish his work showed only flashes of his past glory in The Godfather Part III and Bram Stoker's Dracula. The last three decades have not been kind. We'll have to see if September will bring a final swan song to one of the last great auteur directors.
