“I already saw this movie but since ‘It: Chapter Two’ was now available on Netflix, I was quite eager to watch again this first instalment. In fact, I was actually supposed to see this movie when it was released but, at the last minute, Nick, my step-on, bailed out and, instead, we went to see at” read more

Note: Well, to be honest, even though I have never cared for Adam Sandler's work, I didn't think it was so awful afterwards. I mean, sure, it was still pretty lame and not really funny at all but the guy had done much worse in the past and I don't think it was such a bad idea to mix his humor with the Western genre. At least, it was more original than most of his flicks and the cast involved was pretty decent. Helll, I even thought that Taylor Lautner was actually funny. However, as usual with Sandler, the whole thing was still rather misguided.
“Since this movie has a rather lame reputation, I wasn't expecting much but I still ended up watching the damned thing anyway.

“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since there was a nice cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Unfortunately, like most movies dealing with male prostitution, the whole thing just felt seriously misguided. Indeed, even though it was probably supposed to be some” read more
Notes: Among the massive epics directed by David Lean, in my opinion, this movie must be the most accessible one. I think that the very best remains, by far, ‘Lawrence of Arabia’, but this movie has a running time of almost 220 minutes and, therefore but also for some other reasons, it is a rather demanding flick. In my opinion, 'The Bridge on a the River Kwai' is more an exciting feature and, basically some kind of forefather to our own blockbusters. Basically, it is a really entertaining piece of work and I even remember watching this flick with my dad back in those days. I thought it was really good and I already enjoyed it back then. Apparently, even though David Lean and Alec Guiness worked together on many movies, they actually didn’t get along very well and it was the only movie he made for Lean for which Guiness had the lead. He was very good in this, and apparently, he believed it was his best work. To be honest, it has been a while since I saw this flick and I will definitely re-watch it in the future at some point.
