It's David Prowse, not Browse.
How dare someone list Val Kilmer movies and omit Top Secret!
Laura (1944):
Detective falls in love with the victim of the murder he's investigating. Pretty solid whodunit, a ton of twists and turns, very good watch. Highly recommend.
Also Vincent Price with an awful southern accent.
Great movie, agreed.
Movies seen on long flights this last week and a half:
-The Grand Budapest Hotel
-The Darjeeling Limited
Two of the only Wes Anderson movies I had not yet seen. I think I just have The Life Aquatic to go now. As always, it's the visuals that stand out. If nothing else, Anderson is just great at composing shots, and that keeps you going even when there isn't anything else going on.
Honestly, besides Royal Tenenbaums (BRILLIANT!), the rest of Wes' movies left me more and more disappointed. Besides the same themes over and over, they just became drier and drier and drier and blah blah blah and who the hell cares anymore.
I've only seen Bottlerocket. It was awesome. Or at least I remember it being awesome back when I was in college.
Tom Cruise "The Mummy" remake, re-imagining or whatever you want to call it.

Not sure I'd consider it a remake. Reboot maybe I guess.
Is there a difference? I don't mean that snarkily -- it seems to me that a reboot is just what Hollywood called a remake 30 years ago. I suppose a reboot suggests an emphasis on establishing a new franchise with sequels, but take the Mummy as a classic example -- everybody who made and remade it back in the old days was doing so in order to churn out sequels.
I've yet to see a truly satisfying mummy, in the way that say the original Dracula and Nosferatu are a satisfying vampire. The original http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x229956_the-mummy-1932_shortfilms is the closest but that's because of the cinematography and Zita Johann, not the mummy himself (sorry Boris).
