 A monumental film, 2010-03-02
While Tom Cruise is always overacting, this time he succeeded in performing at his best. While the DVD offers no extras, the quality of the film itself is outstanding, with suspense created till the end, even when (one should be) knowing the plot.
Hopefully this will push film makers to look into other hero stories of those days such as that of Wilhelm Canaris, head of the Abwehr who worked together with MI6. Also that is an almost forgotten story.

Well worth viewing, 2009-12-06
We watched this as a family, ranging in age from 15 to 75; all enjoyed it immensely. A good sting in the tail. I'm a sucker for Blu-ray and this doesn't disappoint.

In Wall Street Michael Douglas perfectly embodies the Reagan-era credo that "greed is good" and won an Oscar for his efforts. As a Donald Trump-like Wall Street raider aptly named Gordon Gecko (for his reptilian ability to attack corporate targets and swallow them whole), Douglas found a role tailor-made to his skill in portraying heartless men who've sacrificed humanity to power. He's a slick, seductive role model for the young ambitious Wall Street broker played by Charlie Sheen, who falls into Gecko's sphere of influence and instantly succumbs to the allure of risky deals and generous payoffs. With such perks as a high-rise apartment and women who love men for their money, Charlie's like a worm on Gecko's hook, blind to the corporate manoeuvring that puts him at odds with his own father (played by Sheen's off-screen father, Martin). With his usual lack of subtlety, writer-director Oliver Stone drew from the brokering experience of his own father to tell this Faustian tale for the "me" decade but the film's sledgehammer style is undeniably effective. A cautionary warning that Stone delivers on highly entertaining terms, Wall Street grabs your attention while questio...
Very sharp and insightful, 2009-01-04
A very sharply written and well acted movie having a real go at the excessive practices of some financial market traders in the boomtime 1980s, which as we know now, despite severe legislation, still go on. Benefited from being made right smack in the middle of it. Douglas has a wail of a time as the megabucks megalomaniac who causes chaos with his amoral and ruthless buying practices. It all looks like caricature from a typically liberal Hollywood team, but we have recently seen excessive and illegal practices far worse than those depicted in this movie, and the global harm and chaos they cause.
Maybe it was all a little predictable but it was very smartly handled by the director and made for great entertainment. The rich dialogue borders on the sententious, and there isn't a great deal of difference between the speech of most of the characters, which is a technical fault if you're being critical, but it is memorable. Works almost like a thriller with its complex and involving plots. All the side characters are well written, especially the hangers on such as yuppy gogetter Daryl Hannah, who was magnificent in the role. Didn't know how good an actor she really is until I saw this film. DVD has an interesting and informative commentary from director Stone, who comes across as far more modest than he is sometimes made out to be.

Part of what was touted as a late-1980s revival of Westerns (and you can see how long that lasted), this good-looking, empty-brained film was like a spurs-and-chaps version of a Joel Schumacher movie, filled with pretty faces, prettier imagery, and absolutely no new ideas. Young Guns sees an idiotically grinning Emilio Estevez cast as Billy the Kid, who slowly accumulates a gang of Brat Pack buddies (Lou Diamond Phillips, Kiefer Sutherland, Dermot Mulroney) and fashions them into a group of male models with six-guns. The action is confused and the script is trite, though Terence Stamp is intriguing as the old reprobate who helps the gang get its act together. This is followed by an even worse sequel. --Marshall Fine

Julie Christie, Alan Bates, Terence Stamp, Peter Finch
Director:
John Schlesinger
John Schlesinger's solid adaptation of Thomas Hardy's novel sees three rival suitors vying for the affections of the beautiful Bathsheba Everdene (Julie Christie decked out in a variety of bonnets and frilly dresses), who has just inherited a farm. The men in her life are stout, whiskered yeoman Gabriel Oak (Alan Bates), an impoverished local farmer; neurotic, repressed squire William Boldwood (Peter Finch); and handsome rascal Sgt Troy (Terrence Stamp), who dresses as if he's Flashman and breaks women's hearts for a hobby.Thanks to cameraman Nic Roeg and production designer Richard MacDonald (who also worked for Joseph Losey), 19th-century Dorset looks as pretty and as picturesque as a John Constable reproduction on top of a biscuit tin. Not that Schlesinger or screenwriter Frederic Raphael underplay the duress of rural life. We see the hardship of the farm workers' lives as the seasons turn. The film opens with a spectacular sequence in which Gabriel Oak's dog drives his flock of sheep over a cliff, thereby forcing him into penury. Whether hunger or heartbreak, every character here suffers. Bathsheba (like the model Christie plays in Darling) is a free-spirit in a socie...
Far from the Madding Crowd, 2009-12-05
Beautifully filmed, superb acting, riveting tale. Well, I loved it. I think I must have the new version because I can't imagine why anyone could find fault with this version and I certainly would recommend this wholeheartedly.

Jim Carrey, Zooey Deschanel, Sasha Alexander, Terence Stamp, Bradley Cooper
Director:
Peyton Reed
Jim Carrey does wonders with a slight premise that finds his reserved, emotionally-distant character, Carl Allen, a banker who routinely turns down loan applications, accepting a challenge to open up to life by saying "yes" to everything. A man who constantly disappoints friends by weaseling out of opportunities for bonding and happiness, Carl radically changes into a creature of complete spontaneity. By never saying no anymore, he gets into situations with unpredictable outcomes, such as driving a homeless stranger to a scary-looking park at night. But for the most part, whatever Carl says yes to becomes a road to worthwhile experiences, even receiving a promotion at work for approving hundreds of micro-loans against all policy. Zooey Deschanel, who often plays appealing kooks, is very good as Carl's girlfriend, a free spirit who takes to his positivity about everything, for a while anyway. Director Peyton Reed (Down with Love) makes the most out of the gimmicky comedy, as does Carrey, who does wonders with scenes that are often left open-ended just to see what the brilliant comic will do with them. --Tom Keogh

The Cold War may be over, but that doesn't mean it can't still be milked for laughs. Get Smart, the sassy film version of the Mel Brooks/Buck Henry-created '60s TV satire, brings plenty of elements of the original series and spins it freshly into the new world of bad guys in the 21st century, pretty much without losing a beat. Steve Carell is perfectly cast as the bumbling Maxwell Smart--but in a slick improvement on the TV show, Smart isn't really hapless--though he has a bit of a self-esteem problem (all around his apartment are sticky notes with exhortations like "You can do it!"). Carell's Maxwell Smart is a sharp techie researcher at the uber-secret crime-battling agency, CONTROL, who's just a little out of his element out in the field. As his data-crunching sidekick Bruce (Masi Oka of Heroes) says, "We're the ones guarding democracy!", aghast that Max would want to be an agent. But Max longs for the action enjoyed by the likes of Agent 23 (a godlike Dwayne Johnson), with glamorous deployments around the world. When he finally gets his dream assignment--as the newly minted Agent 86--he's paired up with the slick and experienced Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway), who provides gre...

A Royal treat, 2010-02-10
I saw this film in the cinema when it first came out, and recently saw the new Australian stage production. It is a glittering uplifting treat, and like revisiting an old friend who you always love. A treat.
If you can't get to see the new stage production, get the CD get this wonderful movie. Why both? because you'll be playing the soundtrack for weeks.
