Title: RT's Stanley Kubrick retrospective
Post by: Himu on October 26, 2007, 11:43:39 PM: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/features/special/2007/kubrick/index.php?page=1

Extremely well done feature.

Doesn't have as much trivia as I would like, but overall, it's great. It goes over all of Kubrick's films, well known or otherwise, and even has a biography.

All I have to say is HOLY FUCK @ that Full Metal Jacket blu ray cover :o

I did mention Paths of Glory. It's a great movie, but hardly his best imo.

Those high pants are awesome. Dunston checks in is an underrated, if flawed, Kubrick Kult Klassic. Definitely worth a rent, if not a full BUY.

Best Kubrick movie imo. I don't get why it's so low on Ichi's list.

Post by: Ichirou on October 27, 2007, 12:27:49 AM: They've already made video games out of Platoon, The Godfather, Scarface, etc...when are they gonna start making video games based off of Kubrick movies?
Title: Re: RT's Stanley Kubrick retrospective
Post by: Himu on October 27, 2007, 12:28:42 AM: I can't wait for Dunston Checks In the game.

I consider pretty much all of Kubrick's films to be good to great with the exception of Eyes Wide Shut which is just plain average. It's not so much "low" on my list as it is "just isn't my favorite Kubrick movie"

Post by: Solo on October 28, 2007, 08:46:39 AM: FMJ is Kubrick's worst movie, so I would agree.

Title: Re: RT's Stanley Kubrick retrospective
Post by: Gay Boy on October 28, 2007, 01:39:49 PM: TVC & Solo. :bow

I bet most people who bash EWS haven't even seen it. It's far from a great film but is a lot better than the over-rated FMJ.
