Well, I'm not sure there is a "topic" any more but...

Picked up a few bits on the HMV sale:

Dune (£3.99)
Last Samuri (£9.99)
Spy Game (£9.99 if I recall coreectly).

I have a day off... Which one do I watch?

Last Samuri is a great film, 3 hours with spectacular scenery, good acting and a great film IMO. Spy game is good as well. Never seen Dune.

If you have the whole day off, simply watch all 3.

Tom Cruise?

Good acting?



All IMVHO of course

Watch Dune, it will waste more of your day off than the others, and you can laugh at Sting with ginger hair.

Tom Cruise is a massively under-rated actor.

Saying that, The Last Samurai is such an over-rated pile of shite. The funny part is the ending, typical Hollywood ching ching.

Which Dune?



While the older David Lynch version is, indeed, a classic, the newer one I found was more closely aligned with the books. The newer one has some very "B-List" acting, however...

The old one, of course!

I just watched Spy Game. My initial impressions were that it was a tad over-produced, but the more it went on the more I got in to it. Good film, with a nice little twist (of sorts) at the end!
