To Live And Die In LA
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090180/

I went to see this film in 1985, at the now closed down and built over, Edgeware Road Cinema....the one under the flyover and facing Paddington Green Police Station (where I once spent a night, but thats another story). I took a woman who was really special to me, and later asked her to marry me. She said, I can't Ashe, we're related, and what will mom say? Well technically we are not related by blood at all, but it all came back when I remembered this movie.

It really is brilliant, with actors that all became stars in their own right. Its the mention of Manhunter above that brought this all back, because the "hero" is the same actor - William Petersen.

When will there be a sequel to District 9? "I promise I'll be back in 3 years...". And please if there is a God it will be just as good, maybe even better, as the original.

Never! I thought it ended off really well. Since they went for the (very good, in my opinion) half mockumentary / half action film, pretty much split down the middle, I don't think they could top that format for a sequel.

^ Continue the style of course, just progress the story. The lead prawn said he'd be back for numbnuts in 3 years.

To Live And Die In LA

Agreed, great film. Thanks for reminding me of it. Have the VHS somewhere, gonna have to get the DVD and watch this again.

William Friedkin directed this, his most notable movies are of course 'The Exorcist' and 'The French Connection'. I think Live and Die is styled very much in the same way as French Connection. His recent movies haven't been amazing, but watchable. I'm refferring to 'Rules of Engagement' and 'The Hunted' though I admit when I watched them I didn't know he directed them until the credits rolled. (Probably on TV - I'm sure the DVD cases mentioned it.)

I remember it well. I watched a good few movies there myself. One of the last one I recall before it was closed down to make way for the Metropole Hotel was Crocodile Dundee. (I thought it was good at the time, actually it hasn't aged to badly still works.)

Yeah but it really was Manhunter that made him, after that he just did a bunch of TV movies ending up in CSI. Which funnily enough Friedkin has been working on too. This was Dafoe's first bad guy role - and I remember him in this more for some reason.

Speaking of whom, did anyone else see or remember 'White Sands'. Another movie I really like from the 90's perhaps because the BBC used to show it all the time, or at least it seemed that way.

Your clever and judicious use of editing has saved my sensitivities. Thank you. Though I am as past sensitivities, as I am past sensibility and sensimillia.

Yeah it was one of those nights, just couldn't sleep so was cruising the forums. Should have hit up the Insomnia thread.

Saw 13 Assassins on saturday evening. A great a samurai movie, reminds me of the older movies especially Seven Samuari which I now need to watch again.

Watched this yesterday. It was weird, but in a good way.

You have just summed up every Wes Anderson film!

I remeber seeing Red Eye in the cinema, really enjoyed it. Nothing groundbreaking, but loved how your sympathies switch from cillian in the first half, to Rachaels in the second.

Watched Appaloosa the other night.. Had hoped for more but it was most unengaging. Seemed to lurch all over the place..

that's because it's a bit of a wild horse
