Singin' in the Rain

Gene Kelly is a genius and anyone who says otherwise has no understanding of film, dance, entertainment or life. The Broadway Melody sequence is one of the most mind-blowing moments in all of cinema. I have never felt color like that in my life, the key word here being 'felt'. I don't say this lightly and maybe I'm coming off of a high like I've never experienced before but...this has changed the way I look at film.

    where do u stand on the 'carpenter's masterpiece' question?

  • CJ Roy

    20Jan12

    The Thing and Halloween are his two best right now. Big Trouble and They Live are near masterpiece and I suspect some re-watched (Assault especially) will boost some up.

Executioners from Shaolin

A great combination of both intelligence and entertainment, Liu Chia-Liang delivers a shining example of why martial arts cinema is unfairly looked over in the hallowed halls of great genre/world cinema…  read review
