However you've drawn my attention to sword fighting, which is cool; I've been more focused on hand to hand and more directly martial arts-related work.

Sometimes two movies just become unfortunately linked and these two Scottish hero stories came out within two months of each other. Rob Roy was easier to overlook because Braveheart had epic scope, and Caton Jones is not an auteur of note. Personally I wouldn't trade this sword fight for all of Braveheart's battle scenes. Conventional wisdom be damned, Rob Roy was my favorite film of '95.<br /><br />And Tim Roth may just give my favorite male supporting performance of the 90's give or take Samuel L. Jackson.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343638129743484886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-32623370575325380622010-09-16T15:14:51.516-04:002010-09-16T15:14:51.516-04:00You know i always thought john hurt deserved the o...You know i always thought john hurt deserved the oscar nomination more than roth,is there another under appreciated uk actor on this planet more than mr hurt!mrripleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-30030393499813971822010-09-16T15:13:27.305-04:002010-09-16T15:13:27.305-04:00michael c -- totally agree. i never understood why...michael c -- totally agree. i never understood why people didn't like this movie more in its year. I was quite fond of it and when you said you were doing this for a column, i knew it'd be a goodie. <br /><br />i also quite like the swordfight between will & captain jack in the first pirates of the caribbean but more for comedic reasons. But it's also very well choreographed. <br /><br />so many action scenes are so sloppy nowadays but this one.

It’s the kind of acting that is often overlooked. Roth and Neeson don’t just duel convincingly, they fight in character.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343638129743484886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-51663992303493430382010-09-16T13:40:28.166-04:002010-09-16T13:40:28.166-04:00I mentioned Heathers costume design, but you may n...I mentioned Heathers costume design, but you may not have looked at the comments on the last entry. If I was ever to say, "The movie IS the costumes", Heathers is the movie I'd be talking about. Seriously, I look at most costume dramas and, well, the costumes seem just like "something to wear." I'd argue that you know the personality of each character in Heathers by the colour they wear and their exact mood by the SHADE of what they are wearing at a particular moment. Costuming as performance shorthand. Genius.Volvagianoreply@blogger.com
