    I found other actors were under-appreciated here too. Miranda Otto’s beautiful portrayal won her a place in Peter Jackson’s LOTR masterpiece on, and so were Sean Penn, John Travolta and Adrien Brody. Shame that Jim Caviezel was ignored however.

    Whenever I'm watching paranormal activity movies especially four or ghost deminsion I'm like these could be basically prequels to Halloween he was a regular kid but like the kids in paranormal activity movie he's targeted by evil calling itself Toby wanting to be his friend have fun with him bad influence on him making him do bad stuff distancing himself from his family especially his sister and in four the kid does this especially to his sister cause in the end he's supposed to sacrifice her for Toby which is basically what Michael did obviously change some things but could lead right into Halloween if you read the Halloween novelization this is basically the case lol

    I find that the true villains are the ultra wealthy, just like in real life. They want all of us to be cogs in the machine - simple units filling out their 9-to-5 roles while enriching the exceptional few. Superheroes in this case represent power outside of the system, which is something those who have manipulated the system cannot control. The ultra wealthy thrive on convincing everyone to conform and never try to be exceptional, so that they can continue being rich in the shadows.

    I like where you’re going but ultimately I think this is wrong. Like sevensolaris pointed out, joker doesn’t hesitate, his weapon malfunctions. I believe apocalypse now has a much better exploration of the duality of man, exemplified when Kurtz talks about the VC who cut the inoculated children’s arms off saying “these were not monsters, these were men with families, men who are full of love, who simply possessed the strength to kill without passion, without compassion, without judgment.” And the gal at the French compound tells Willard something to the effect of him being two men, one who loves and one who kills

    Great take on an unbelievably underrated film. I would’ve liked them to have switched the semi-final battles. I figure Tommy winning a violent contest with Koba and sustaining serious (hidden) injuries would’ve made his loss against Brendan more believable and easier to take (ditto Brendan’s victory).

    alejandro wasn't a hitman for the columbian cartel, that's just what kate assumed. it's not impossible that he became one after his family was murdered, but the only thing that we know is that he really was a prosecutor.

    I LOVED Sicario, having watched it a dozen times. My only nitpick of the entire film was casting the British actor Emily Blunt in the role of the new CIA recruit. She was so totally wrong for the part on so many levels. First, let's look at her physicality. Does she look like a hardened killer to you?? If you think that, you're imagining someone else. Secondly, both Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin were BORN to play these roles, both cold-blooded goverment killers to the max, entirely capable of the most heinous and brutal acts of violence imaginable. Does Blunt fit this category?? *Absolutely not.* The moment she goes on her very first secret assignment, she immediately begins to question the motives of all her superiors, when she should have been totally silent, keeping her inner doubts entirely to herself. But instead she CONSTANTLY and CONTINUALLY berates and questions all the orders of her team leaders, in the end compromising the outcome of the entire operation. I'm only surprised that neither the Del Toro or Brolin characters didn't shoot her halfway through the movie. Although Blunt is an excellent actress, the next time she should be cast as an English governess or kindergarden teacher, not a ruthless, cold blooded hit lady. Reply

    A splendid documentary, outstanding in every respect! Friends and I just this afternoon saw for the first time "Le Voyage Dans la Lune" at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC and of course we were utterly enthralled. Then I found this superbly illuminating exposition only hours later on-line. Can't help wishing this could be played at the Museum too because, in its own way, it's as good as the film itself.

    "Ending was predictable", I question that, but hey someone can have a different interpretation. I thought it was going to end with Will going to one of the jobs he was offered, that was going to be his first stepping stone.

    I know this is his second film of his filmography, but I really don’t feel like Alien3 is his actual first movie, it’s Se7en. Yes Alien 3 David Fincher is credited, but so much drama, constant studio interference, him being fired 3 times, it’s safe bet to agree that Se7en is his first film.
