Movie #96 - Bram Stoker's Dracula

Dracula: Do you think you can destroy me with your idols? I who served the cross, I who commanded nations, hundreds of years before you were born?

Overtime

Bram Stoker's Dracula
Now this is how you make a Vampire/Romance film, not the ridiculously depressing Twilight series; though Francis Cord Coppola did overdo it especially on the romantic front, as the story felt a bit overcrowded but certainly made up for it with his approach, making Dracula more than just a blood thirsty vampire but an undead man with heart.

The production was visually scintillating and the art direction is amazing. While the acting department (supporting actors that is) was limp, Gary Oldman totally embodied his director's vision thereby making his performance one of the best portrayals ever!

Movie #95 - Gangs of New York

Boss Tweed: Remember the first rule of politics. The ballots don't make the results, the counters make the results. The counters. Keep counting.

Overtime

Gangs of New York

This is the seventh movie by Martin Scorsese appearing on the cinephile project; which comprises of brilliant production, historical accuracy, impressive screenplay, amazing mise-en-scène and costumes, and superb acting from Daniel-Day Lewis.

Movie #94 - Akira

The Colonel: It is not a soldier's duty to make policy. I follow my orders.

Overtime

Akira

I can't believe this film was made in 1988, the idea behind it is surreal and the animation is awesome.
This techno thriller was fantastically made with momentum (right from the start), bloody good violence, thought provoking and a fast paced story line - which is not bad considering its source is a 2000 page manga.

Kaneda's red bike is iconic. This is not just a brilliantly made anime, it's a Classic!

Hope they don't mess up the live-action remake.
