Comment on Ten great films without musical scores by Adam Jezard

You’ve missed The Tall Target, possibly the greatest film of the sound era not to have a musical score ever made, certainly of the early part of the 20th Century.

Cast Away actually has multiple moments with music. It’s mostly the same music but it pops up in multiple places:

Comment on Review: The Raid by Bradley J. Dixon

You’re trying to argue that a film in which the camera follows a bullet through a door and into a person is not full of CGI?

My point is that The Raid‘s choreography is amazing, but compared to Jackie Chan’s early films there is a lot of computer enhancement, which is true given that Jackie Chan’s early films contained exactly zero CGI. I’m not saying it’s necessarily a bad thing, but it’s certainly a relevant point to bring up in a review.

“The Raid is full of CGI.”

Are you sure, mate?
The CGI used in The Raid were only used for gun flaming and some blood being spilled e.g headshot, and the corridor shot to make the corridor higher than it should be (the last part was had to be done like that since the producer could not find a building with the specification). And that was only for the first 20 minutes where the gun was still used.

Other than that, when all the gun had been stripped, there was no CGI. Only traditional effect (except some blood effect.. noted. some, not all, not most).

The stuntmanship here was real.

Very interesting review. I’ve been using Letterboxd for a couple of days and you made the choice of TMDb clearer for me.

Great list, thanks. I’ve only made my way through the first season of The Muppet Show so far.

I actually imported the U.K. Blu-ray months ago because I was so keen to see it, so I can watch it again whenever I like.
