"This is the sixth feature length film I've seen by director Sergio Leone. I chose to watch this film based on previous good ratings I've given other films by this director and to better my favorite directors by algorithm listing. Giù la testa (Duck, You Sucker) (A Fistful of Dynamite) Sergio Leone is the author of my very favorite film, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. The similarly styled and A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, both starring Clint Eastwood as essentially the same character were highly enjoyable lead ups. You could see Leone's style developing and improving along the same path. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was the perfect climax of that style. You could say every single one of his films took place at an era in history bit later than his previous one. His next fil "

"This is the seventh feature length film I've seen by director Quentin Tarantino. I chose to watch this film based on previous good ratings I've given other films by this director and to better my favorite directors by algorithm listing. Inglourious Basterds I've seen all of Tarantino's films. And since I've become a fan I've made to sure to see all of them in the theatre. There are a lot of things that irk me about his style. Some of them irk me while giving me delight at the same time. But I always find the films entertaining. This film starts right out with a scene that was clearly modeled off of one of the very first scenes of my favorite film of all time The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. I know this to be Tarantino's favorite film of all time as well, so I wasn't too surprised. But Tarantino really has me being pulled back and forth violently regarding my admiration for this scene. My joy at wanting to call it a delightful homage and my disgust at what seems almos "

"Django il bastardo (The Strangers Gundown) A guy I met this summer and I started talking about Spaghetti Westerns. Although my favorite film, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, is a Spaghetti Western, I realized after talking to this guy I knew precious little about the genre. He handed me a couple DVDs to try out. All he told me about this film was that it features a shot near the beginning of the protagonist as he is walking with a shot directly above him. So all we basically see is the top of a hat with legs coming out of it back and forth. He said he found this and some other shots striking but other than that it wasn't that great of a movie. After watching it, I would argue that it's actually pretty good. I enjoyed it at least. The original title was originally translated to "Django the Bastard", but like a lot of Spaghetti Westerns that tried to piggyback on some of the more successful films of the genre by using similar names, this film has nothing to do with the origina ...

"Ever since the great Italian director Sergio Leone rode into town, it’s been clear that the Western is not solely the domain of American filmmakers. Leone’s Spaghetti Westerns boosted Clint Eastwood’s career and forever changed the genre. A new film from Korea, what many are calling a Kimchi Western, may change the genre once again. Kim Ji-Woon’s The Good, the Bad, and the Weird is in many ways an homage to Leone’s The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, but is also an excellent example of the energy and originality emerging in Korean cinema. The Good, the Bad, and the Weird, set in Manchuria in the 1930’s, follows the story of three bandits, all in pursuit of map that leads to an untold amount of treasure. Woo-sung Jung (the Good),

"The idea for this analysis came to mind when I recently saw Bergman's The Seventh Seal. While I was not quite as blown away by the film as most accolades of the film would suggest, I still found it to be an excellent movie, and could see very clearly the influence it has had on so many films that have come after it. The one scene that I especially noticed a direct legacy in later films was a short, almost gimmicky little snippet during the medieval religious cult scene in the town--where the drums are beating loudly, people are screaming in agony as whips crack, and monks and other repenters are carrying enormous crosses on their backs. There is a short string of profile shots: Antonius, Jons, and "The Girl" (the only specific name I could find for her anywhere on the internet). The cuts between the faces are done with the beats of the drums; they are perfectly centered, with mist or smoke rising in the backgrounds, adding to each image's raw, black-and-white imagery; and each f ...

"I saw 800 Bullets a couple years ago at the Philadelphia International Film Festival. It was one of those movies that you will either see at a festival or have to seek out on Netflix. The movie is about these out of work actors who had all been stuntmen on the Clint Eastwood spaghetti Westerns of the 60s and 70s. (A Fistful of Dollars (1964) The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)) When the movies stopped filming there, they all lost their careers. They are now left with entertaing ever dwindling numbers of tourists to see them re-enact their old scenes. When they discover that an out of town business is buying the property to turn it into a family amusment park; they decide that this is one injustice too many. Tey buy all the bullets they can afford (800) to hold off the police and save their homes and careers. This movie is funny and touching. Seek it out "

"13 Tzameti is top-notch suspense in almost every aspect. French director Géla Babluani crafts a masterful thriller based on a basically messed up version of Russian Roulette. While the exposition is a little bit slow and drawn out, once the main character (played by George Babluani) starts rolling the film never lets up, drawing you into this depraved world of drugs and violence. Everything is utilized to outstanding effect, such as the big fat sweaty guy asking for a chair, which, in the scene, frustratingly draws out the revelation of the gruesome outcome of one of the rounds. The long, overdrawn beginning is nonetheless very unique in its style and delivery in that it creates a sense of foreboding and the unknown through very minimalist ways, which is usually uncharacteristic of a suspense film. The scenes of George working on the roof of the morphine addict’s house are somehow captivating, and though dull compared with the rest of the work, they keep you intere ... "

"Per qualche dollaro in più (For a Few Dollars More)Leone begins using many techniques and scenarios that will be replayed in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. The reason why it still works, and actually works to perfection in that next movie is because of the more expansive contrasts between the epic and the focused and also because of much more humor. The elements are present in For a Few Dollars More and are enjoyable, but their potential is realized so much more later on. Kind of hard to believe when you realize how great this movie already is.And it has Kinski!Rating: 9/10 "

"Per un pugno di dollari (A Fistful of Dollars)What can I say? This movie started a pretty huge avalanche. Both for Leone's and Eastwood's careers, the budding Spaghetti Western genre, and probably for for European genre movies in full.As probably anyone reading this is already well aware, it's pretty much a close remake of Yojimbo. But some characters are changed both reflecting the time of the American Southwest western where it's set, and Italian film for who it was intended.The movie is enjoyable, with a few quite memorable moments (the gigantic barrel exploding into the bad guys may be my favorite). But it's impossible for me not to think about it as just being the testing waters for the perfection that would eventually come with The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. In fact the second movie in this series of sorts, For a Few Dollars More, takes many sequences and styles of this movie and gets them to a more finalized state that are basically rehashed again ... "
