It's on Netflix Instant and I started watching but didn't get too far. I do like what I've seen. Juliette Lewis pisses me off too. Can't stand her in Cape Fear.<br /><br />Bigelow is definitely a great director.

I don't really know that I want to check out all of Kathryn Bigelow's other work, but I just know that she is kicking ass, being a female director and all.<br /><br /><b>Paulo</b> - Greeting from New Zealand!<br />Oh, good old VHS.

It still is. It's fun, it's got thrills, and lots of kick-ass moments. It's among one of my favorite films by Kathryn Bigelow who was definitely an underrated filmmaker during that time.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-54952975483107377302011-09-04T23:22:00.854+12:002011-09-04T23:22:00.854+12:00oh stevee i can't even defend your taste from ...oh stevee i can't even defend your taste from these naysayers as i havent seen it yet. i desperately want to. thats why it's on the noir list. at 108. i skimmed the review to try to avoid spoilers. you certainly seemed to appreciate and i hope i will feel the same.<br /><br />i don;t expect a huge amount with a james cameron script tbh.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-35288453523294919502011-09-04T22:08:26.331+12:002011-09-04T22:08:26.331+12:00I actually watch this movie wen it came out in glo...I actually watch this movie wen it came out in glorious VHS...

In fact, that's what I thought about pretty much all of Bigelow's movies up until THE HURT LOCKER. That movie was her breakthrough, her fucking masterpiece, but all the movies that came before it... as action movies, they're fine, but I have trouble taking them seriously. Sorry, but that's just a personal taste thing.Tylerhttp://magnoliaforever.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
