Topic: Tom's Random Reviews

[samuelrichardscott]

Agree with you almost 100%. Uma Thurman is a favourite actress of mine and she was no good in this at all, but I really liked the inclusion of Alicia Silverstone's Batgirl and that arc. A high point in an otherwise below average film.

To a degree I like the inclusion of Batgirl.
What bothers me the most though is, how she found out about Batman and her non-reaction to this revelation.

My Thoughts:

I saw this movie in the cinema in 3D. It has good use of the 3D. I think this was the first time that I saw a faithful adaption of Christmas Carol. Before this I only knew the story from the many allusions in other stories, like Scrooged.
Since then I saw the George C. Scott version, which I also enjoyed. And I have the Patrick Stewart version and the Alistair version in my unwatched pile.
As an extra on this Blu-ray, you can watch the movie with the motion capture performance instead of the animation. Amazing what the actors achieved here. Especially Jim Carrey. It may be his best performance yet.

This seems to be the most well-received movie adaption of Christmas Carol. I enjoyed it. A lot of Alastair Sim's performance of Scrooge reminded me of Jim Carrey's version. Those two movies are very much alike.

I read that there is a sequel planned, which continues right after the finale of this one. I hope this because I am curious how it will continue.

A Christmas Carol (1999/United States) IMDb | Wikipedia Boulevard Entertainment (United Kingdom) Director: David Jones Writing: Peter Barnes (Screenwriter), Charles Dickens (Original Material By) Length: 94 min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo, French: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo Subtitles: English, French

Stars:
Patrick Stewart as Ebenezer Scrooge
Richard E. Grant as Bob Cratchit
Joel Grey as The Ghost of Christmas Past
Ian McNeice as Albert Fezziwig
Saskia Reeves as Mrs. Cratchit

Plot:
It is Christmas Eve 1843, and Ebenezer Scrooge (Patrick Stewart) has just buried his longtime friend and business partner, Jacob Marley. Understandably, Scrooge is in a melancholy mood as he returns to work. Seven years later, Scrooge's bad mood has become a perpetual state of mind. His loyal, but meek clerk, Bob Cratchit (Richard E. Grant), is the constant target of Scrooge's cruelty and bitterness. Scrooge's nephew, Fred Bowley, spreads Christmas cheer, but all his uncle can say is "Bah! Humbug!"

Scrooge finds himself alone in his office on Christmas Eve. He hears the rattling of chains and sees before him, the ghost of Jacob Marley. Marley warns Scrooge that the suffering he causes others, he will have to repay—even in death, and warns him that there's only one chance to escape that fate. He also informs Scrooge that three spirits will visit him and he is to obey them in order to redeem himself.

Awards:
Nominated:

Extras:

My Thoughts:

At first I thought it a little strange to see Patrick Stewart as Scrooge. He seems a little young for the role. But he has ten years in a one-man Christmas Carol show under his belt and he did a good job. That he can do crumpy, I always believed. Look at his early interpretation of Captain Picard.
Compared to the other adaptions I have seen, Scrooge seemed a little restrained at the end when loosened up.

My Thoughts:

The first time that it happened to me that a Blu-ray didn't play on my player and I had to do a firmware update (haven't done one for over two years).
I really enjoyed this action movie. Even though it was rather predictable, but it had great action scenes and that is what counts for this kind of movie.
I watched the director's cut version.

Some stats:





Keep in mind, that I only started to keep track of the episode watch dates at the end of 2006 when I started with my CCViewer.
The few episode watched dates before that are because I had entered a few dates based on the watched dates of my Profiler profiles. I only did this for a couple of episodes.

[Antares]

I finally got to see this a couple of weeks ago, and after assessing it against all the other versions of this story, I have to place it near the bottom. It's all too neat and tidy of a telling. There's no real atmosphere to the setting. And of course, Stewart basically plays Picard, as he has done for almost his entire career. He's always come across to me as a one note type actor. I was watching I, Claudius and also Fall of Eagles and the man has no dimension at all.

My Thoughts:

After the pilot I was not sure if this series will get above an okay series for me. As a matter of fact it took the whole first disc to convince me otherwise. But after the first few episodes I was hooked. I like how they integrate the music into the storylines. And I like the music choices for the most part.
Also Jane Lynch is playing a great nemesis for the glee club as the coach of the chearleading team.
I couldn't resist ordering the second season now, even though I usually wait until the price drops to about half of what it currently is.
It's great that the Blu-ray has on each disc direct access to the songs (even with a play all feature).

A Knight's Tale (2001/United States)

I just watch it tonight and find it ok, but really predictable. It would have been so much better without the choice of using modern music that made absolutly no sense to me... I don't know but that kind of break the mood for me

[Najemikon]

Yes it's predictable, but it had an easy charm that was very unexpected. It is weird how they use the music, but it gives it character.

I have to say that I do love this movie and I do like the music, especially the We Will Rock You opening.
