Hard Ride To Hell.
It was just...ok. Not terrible, but it wasn't really anything special either. |

Re: Last DVD you watched?
Powell & Pressburger's The Small Back Room (1949): my first P&P movie and it's amazing how it can manage to squeeze laughs, romance, drama and even esoteric imagery (the 'Whiskey' scene) within the confines of a British World War II setting. Farrar and Byron make a passionate and imperfect couple (him more than her) but Jack Hawkins almost steals the movie as a P.R. hack that seems to enjoy his job too much. The ending seems like the great-granddaddy of "The Hurt Locker."
Robert Bresson's Mouchette (1967): despite not moving me like other tear-jerker melodramas seeing the Bresson touch in action for the first time I was amazed he pulls the high-wire act of making the lead character sympathetic and pathetic while also symbolic (no comic relief or contrived plot can save Mouchette from life's cruelties). Best movie I've seen in a while, one that begs for repeat viewing and more Bresson in my future. Akira Kurosawa's Derzu Uzala (1975): slow, boring and plodding Russian movie that only comes alive toward the end when the title character loses his skills and moves into Russian civilization (which only highlights how awful the supporting cast was for most of the flick's running time). First Kurosawa flick I don't care to ever see again, and the crappy state of the film stock seems to indicate few people care enough to finance one. James Ivory's A Room With A View (1986): except for Helena Bonham-Carter there is an unending parade of great British thesps (Julian Sands, Simon Callow, Maggie Smith, Denholm Elliott, Maggie Smith, etc.) bringing E.M. Forster's novel to life. Great HD-DVD transfer brings Florence and the English countryside locales to beautiful 1080p detail. John Woo's The Killer (1989): are you kidding me? This 1080i/30hz transfer barely looks better than the rental VHS copy of "The Killer" I watched in '91. Oh well, still a terrific gunplay/fireworks Woo spectacle even if it doesn't fly as high as Woo's "Hard Boiled" or the Melville/Peckinpah flicks the director was paying homage to ("Le samourai," "Wild Bunch," etc.). |

Taken - Pretty good flick, Liam Neeson was excellent. Didn't know that Maggie Grace from tv Lost was in the movie.
