Are producers of the James
Bond movies copying the
style of the Jason Bourne
series? Many
commentators in the movie
press have said that
after the success of the
Bourne movies, the
producers of Bond movies were
thus 'inspired', to
rejuvenate interest...(More)
I got tempted to create this
FlickBout when “Dark
Knight” briefly overtook
“Godfather” on IMDb’s Top
250 list, and caused a furore
(on the internet at
least). So even though these 2
films are not
strictly from the same genre
or style of films,
they'r...(More)
At the 1977 Academy Awards,
“Rocky” beat “Taxi
Driver” for Best Picture and
Best Director, which
has been called a scandal ever
since! While there
is no doubt that Martin
Scorsese has turned out to
be a great director, I don’t
agree with the
critics ...(More)
These are 2 of the best films
of director Martin
Scorcese’s oeuvre – and cover
his favorite
subject: the Mafia. Where they
do differ in my
opinion is in the treatment,
and hence the reason
why I believe “Casino” wins
out.
“Goodfellas” is a voyeuri...(More)
I know that “Dark Knight” was
a MUCH bigger box
office hit than “Batman
Begins”, but was it that
much better as a story? There
is absolutely no
doubt that Christopher Nolan
has taken comic-book
characters to a whole new
level with the “Dark
Knight”, ...(More)
Both epic movies that won many
an award, for
largely the same reason (I
think!) - sweeping
vistas, large canvases,
tortured love, period
movies, etc etc.
To me, "English Patient" was a
slightly
pretentious film with
characters that were not
very ...(More)
No, this is not a Dreamworks
Vs Pixar FlickBout!!
Just that both the movies are
animated and they
also came out at about the
same time (read: same
generation of animation tech).
“Shrek” has gone on
to foster 3 more sequels so
far. However, I loved
“M...(More)
For men, probably the most
boring movies ever. For
women, well ...two of the
modern great chick
flicks! I'm a guy, so this
FlickBout is to
probably check which is
worse!!
Personally I liked "When Harry
Met Sally" a bit
better because I think Billy...(More)
So many sub-comparisons can be
made from this
movie. Villains: Anthony
Hopkins Vs Kevin Spacey.
Lead Actors: Jodie Foster Vs
Brad Pitt. Directors:
Jonathan Demme vs David
Fincher. But if they were
judged on an overall basis who
wins?
I'm not a fan...(More)
I know they made a movie
called "Alien v
Predator"! But I just wanted
to figure out what
people really think about
these 2 movies on a
head-to-head basis. I have no
doubt personally
that "Alien was a much better
movie, and had a
much more creative 'a...(More)
