Re: 1990s romantic drama, Michelle Pfeiffer?
one of my favourites of Al Pacino. Ellen Barkin was so sexy there. Strange chemistry between them.

Re: Movies/scenes that make you sympathise with the bad guy
is it still possible to sympathise with him while at the same time you entertain the idea that he's bad? You may think he's not bad at all. Those two doesn't seem to coexist at the same time.

Re: How do you distinguish between “bad acting” and “good acting”?
Yes, pointing to bad acting is sometimes easy. Recently I watched Thunder Road (1958), starring R. Mitchum. The film was his idea and his son plays the role of his brother in the movie. But it was a low quality. Mitchum's son was acting like a robot and all other players were trying to be tough guys...

How do you distinguish between “bad acting” and “good acting”?
It happens to me that in nearly all major movies here and elsewhere, we can sight reviews complaining about “bad” acting or praising “good” acting. It’s one of the common ways of criticism. Usually the reasons for accusation or praise are not provided. The problem for me is: I come to the conclusion...

Re: Your 20 Desert-Island Movies?
For survival reasons; movies dealing with the same issue in similar conditions. For their luck, Robinson Crusoe's find massive supplies near them. Anyway, it's important to learn how to master them. 1) Cast Away (2000) 2) Robinson Crusoe (1954) -I'll take Bunuel's one. Speaking of survival, skills a...

Re: Do you change your ratings ?
Without rewatching a film, I frequently change my ratings to adjust them to my new thoughts, memories or new information that I read somewhere over internet. They are never too drastic. I only change them up to 10/100 points at maximum (excluding a few ones I reevaluate as I've made an unfair judgem...

Re: What proportion of your ranked movies are American?
6% W. Germany+Germany (%13 of tier) I would expect Spanish+Russian films more in top-tier for my dispositions. That's reflected. But I didn't have any deliberate preference for German productions, I guess. I think that is because of huge number of co-productions (European triangle between Germany-F...
