Originally posted by Atticus View PostAngel Heart - I love a good detective yarn and I love a good horror and this mashes both up nicely. It's a dark tale with very little relief ... full of foreboding and misdirection. Add in a couple of acting heavyweights (Mickey Rourke and Robert De Niro) and you've got a recipe for something quite special. Watching it it's a shame Rourke's career went off the rails so spectacularly ... he's unbelievable in this, maybe his finest hour. I hadn't actually seen the film since I was at school so it was great to revisit ... although, a
dodgy moment / special effect at the end
can't help but kill the overall effect a bit.

Lady and the Tramp
The new live action version, after the mild bit of surprise at Aladdin this is a plunge back into weakness. Several changes are made to the film all either making no impact or diminishing the experience. It's way too long too, with around 30 mins added that actually add nothing. The Siamese cats have been replaced for this incarnation and new ones brought in with a new song which is the definition of bland. Like so many others, it's solidly made but a soulless husk remake.

Just finished watching Black Hawk Down (Ultra HD Version), not seen it for about 15 years. What a fantastic 4k transfer, superb HDR, brilliant cast (Josh Hartnett, Ewan McGregor, Tom Sizemore, Eric Bana, Sam Shepard, Jason Isaacs, Jeremy Piven, Tom Hardy, Matthew Marsden & Orlando Bloom) - Enjoyed every minute of it, Ridley in his pomp.
