theboyangel Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza was pretty decent. Not as good as Boogie Nights or There Will Be Blood but fits in nicely with Punch Drunk Love, Magnolia and Inherent Vice. Typically good soundtrack too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I also think there are some very funny moments in there, like when the Russians shoot a torpedo at them and they go to get rid of the guy in the DSRV and he's "I think they're shooting at us!" And Scott Glenn goes "No shit buckwheat, get out of here!" Also "Oh Yuri.... you've lost ANOTHER submarine?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Just stuck this on, one of my favourite horror films (the book was brilliant as well) I first watched this when I was about 12 years old and I remember getting the feels for Barbara Hershey in this film way back then. I love the way it sacks off the standard horror soundtrack (for the time) and goes for that heavy repetitive guitar just thumping away every time that she gets assaulted. I remember the book being extremely similar to the film, it didn't deviate too much at all aside from them going into the whole "is she crazy or not" a whole lot more, I'm pretty sure that in the book it leans more heavily into her incestuous feelings for her son as well. **** great film that stands the test of time pretty well for me, the final act let t down a bit but I still love it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching this as a lad, terrifying, that soundtrack sticks i your head.too. Was supposed to be based on a true story, although knowing what we know now, I guess she just had metal health issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I'm pretty sure I read a book on the actual case this was based on, Doris something or other was her name I think, the actual book by Frank De Felitta is well worth a read though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the one that sprung to mind but no The connection probably is much deeper because I watched both the Entity and this film pretty much at the same time. It was set in some caves on a foreign planet if I recall, Got a load of stick for being a rip-off of alien 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it having gone through the wiki list of British Scfi Horror from the 80's, worth a look actually as loads on there which have been forgotten for many a year that might be worth a secondary viewing Edited May 7, 2022 by Follyfoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted May 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) One Shot Fellow Viler and action star Scott Adkins as leader of a group of Navy Seals under siege from highly trained terrorist mercenaries not half bad and well worth a watch, nothing revolutionary but keeps you gripped for the full course some great knife work Edited May 7, 2022 by Follyfoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Debt Collector movies are quite fun and he even wears his Villa tie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted May 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Avengement is definitely the best thing I've seen Adkins in. He puts in a pretty good performance in that and although it still has some standard 'geezery' bits, the movie does have a bit of thought and depth along with the violence. Really enjoyed it.

In all fairness they packed the film with 'geezers' The pub might as well have been the Queen Vic Accident Man is worth a peek as well as is Legacy of Lies Edited May 9, 2022 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
