I'd rather just except your assessment that Death Wish was a sucky film, but otherwise there's the notion the pace and shots of 70's films at the time can be rather slow and mostly undynamic.

i saw/have The Brave One. I thought it was a well done film. You don't see Jodie Foster in anything bad really .. she's had a very cultivated career.

I love the grit and rawness of 70's film. its my favourite era both cinematically and musically. I love a slow paced film too. But Death Wish - last time i watched it - it just felt sloppy .. bad editing ..and lets face it .. he may be watchable but Bronson was never a very good actor. Just that one stone face tough guy persona. he didnt change much off screen from the interviews ive seen,

I was surprised .. i knew all the sequels were absolute crap but i remember thinking the first one was pretty good. I guess after years of 1000's of films, i understand the craft a lot better .. or at least developed a certain expectation and style for my personal tastes.

my last seen movies - i started to rewatch the MCU flicks in chronological order.
Some i havent seen in a while so it's been kind of fun.

interesting to see - after the fact - how they built the franchise ... and how little i foresaw where the whole thing was going as the films were originally released.

not all of it was brilliant - there were some growing pains .. not all the films were great - but they sure came to a mighty conclusion.

I finished Winter Soldier last night .. tonight it will be Guardians of the Galaxy vols 1 and 2. (if i can stay awake for the second one)

Interesting. I've been re-watching them, too. In the middle of Winter Soldier. You know me, urge, I can't stay awake past 10:00! LOL

Maybe filmmakers in the 70s also purposely gave the audience more time to take in the action.

Do you know the Final Destination films fairly well? What was the best one? I saw the first, thought it was crafty, nice camera work, but I wasn't sure I really wanted to see another 2 hours of it. I saw the FD2 trailer at the theatre and the highway scene was scary on the big screen.

I thought Winter Soldier was one of the best. Civil War was good too, but I think I still like The Avengers the best.

GRAVE ENCOUNTERS 2011

Thought i had seen this, or at least seen something like it. It was ok. A crew for a paranormal t.v. series gets trapped overnight in an insane asylum. Nothing about the crew was likable so i didnt really care what happened to them.
