I'm not sure what to make of Venom really. It's ok, quite funny at times. Some of the action scenes are good. Overall though the story felt quite weak. Torn between a Deadpool style of humour and trying to be a good origin story as well. Not quite hitting Marvel's high standards.

"And then I’d say Tomorrow Never Dies, because I think you get a real bang for your buck in that — and I enjoyed making it. It was just a nice, big Bond, going back to the old style. It just kicks arse, and you believe he’s in there getting his arse kicked as well."

"In a bit of a stylistic departure from the Dogme films, which are bound by their namesake, Lars von Trier plays with rear projection and melodrama so beautifully. The color-treated scenes are just jaw-dropping; it’s a perfect marriage of style and substance. Not to mention Jean-Marc Barr is a total dreamboat here."

"Strangelove was one of the reasons I called the Coen Brothers. I became a fan after their first movie [Blood Simple], because it had so much of my home about it — I’m from Texas and I knew people who’d worked on it. And it had a sound and style of storytelling I thought was great."

"The best of the Nathan Zuckerman novels, and that is saying something. The story rewinds several times, postmodern-style, and each retelling is a distinct, sometimes shocking alternative to the previous narratives, and yet the novel’s grip only tightens. Harrowing, funny, sexy, set in England and Israel, New York and New Jersey, altogether splendid."
