What small role in a film risked ruining an otherwise perfect movie for you?

Pulp Fiction was a masterpiece. But Tarantino’s insistence on playing the character ‘Jimmy’ is absolute cringe. He’s done alright in some of his other small roles, but this one is just plain awful — a blemish on an otherwise perfect film. Honorable mention would be Christopher Walken in Dune II, even though I love Walken in just about everything else he’s done.

Who’s an actor or actress that you enjoy seeing in anything they star in, because you love the energy they bring?

Kat Dannings is definitely up there!! Not only is she drop dead gorgeous, but any time I see her on screen she is always so cute and charming that you can’t help but love her screen presence! I would honestly even put her on the list of actors who can play themselves and get away with it!

For example, her character; Darcy Lewis in the MCU could’ve easily have just been featured in the first Thor movie and you never see her again. But because of how much fans have grown to love her, Marvel tries to give her a role in whatever project they can.

Imo I would’ve personally like if the movie revolved around the relationship of Michaels son with him and not Sonny’s illegitimate son

If you love a good story, solid cast, top level stunt and visuals effects that still can hold you at the edge of the seat, Backdraft fits perfectly into that category.

It’s worth to mention that Scott Glenn and Donald Sutherland delivered a solid performance as well.

I know we all like Heat, and I always have too, but am rewatching it again now and am blown away even more. From the get go with De Niro stealing the ambulance and Kilmer buying explosives, straight into the action and story that just keeps going like a locomotive from there, with characters organically introduced along the way. Several great story twists along the way. No unnecassary car chases or explosions, just a raw and involved progress as it unfolds. The personal storylines and drama are integral to the story and never feel like sidetracking. The cast is absolutely stacked across the board, but De Niro and Pacino are amazing. And Michael Mann really is a master of ambience, tone and pacing, it really is a beautiful movie too. Everything is just so well done. This is in my top 10 all time movies. Greatest action/thriller ever?

This movie was captivating from start to finish. Though I originally thought it moved a touch too fast, I now think the pacing was perfect. Great movie for Eastwood to hang his hat on.
