Nope. I just don’t have a memory for stuff like that

Directed by: Uwe Boll

Oh yeah, it was one of those movies.

Here’s the next one:

  • Curses, foiled again
  • Some cow as white as milk
  • A particular cape as red as blood
  • Someone’s hair as yellow as corn
  • And a slipper as pure as gold

Into the Woods

1867

Into the Woods! An exploration and deconstruction of the European folk tale, plus Meryl Streep’s eyes darting around in actorly fashion, plus the wonderful Anna Kendrick doing her Cinderella thing.

Into the Woods!
KWhit’s got it solved, and home before dark.

Next up:

  • Includes one of the 50 best movie quotes according to AFI
  • An illness causes a change of plan
  • Based on a true story
  • A cold return
  • Much of the filming could only happen in 25 second bursts
1869

@KWhit, we have a problem!

1870

Yeah, I kind of worried that this one would be too easy.

@Buckaroo clearly figured out that the movie is Apollo 13 - in my opinion Ron Howard’s best film.

1871

The last clue was very helpful actually. The quote clue confirmed it. l haven’t watched it in many years, and don’t remember the illness though.
Alright, the next one is a movie l re-watched recently and was a bit disappointed by :

  1. A belly tattoo and a hand tattoo
  2. Ground Zero
  3. A catch-word, used by its actor in several other works
  4. An in-your-face scene, very reminiscent of the one used by the director in another one of his movies
  5. A reluctant fighter
1872

The 25th Hour?

1873

And @Djscman got it in one! l thought it would last a bit longer to be honest. ls there a clue in particular that made you think of it?

1874

As someone who failed to post his guess: for me it was definitely Ground Zero. The shot of the camera moving towards the office window and tilting down at the hole that used to be the WTC is pretty much the only thing I remember from that movie.

1875

l for one didn’t remember it at all. lt makes sense in the context of a movie whose main character is basically NY though. About the other clues:

  1. Juliette Levy’s Knockoff has an ugly belly tattoo that gets PSH’s attention; random-russian-mafia-boss-#5896 has “survive” tattooed on his hand (that could as well be “Peanut Butter and Jelly” or “Little Princess” for that matter - who’s gonna check anyway?). Tough guy.

  2. Best explained by BellaConfusione above.

  1. Great scene from a great movie, by a director full of ideas and with surely a bright future:

Embarrassing scene from an only decent movie, from a director who would soon direct a remake of Oldboy :

Also, l couldn’t help but notice that Pakis and Sikhs are curry-stinking terrorists, Jews sell apartheid-tainted blood diamonds and so on… while the blacks are guilty of “never pass[ing] the ball, dont want to play defense, take five steps on every layup to the hoop”

  1. Barry Pepper, forced by Ed Norton to punch him in the face, because he’s too pretty to go to jail (although pretty much all the girls l know disagree).
1876

Well, it’s on my list of movies that sound good but haven’t seen yet. But your clue 3 and 4 made me think of Spike Lee (was the in-your-face shot the one where he straps the camera to the walking actor, giving the actor a strangely static view while his surroundings bounce around all topsy-turvy? 'Cause he did that in all his movies I saw until at least He Got Game). And I read, probably in the Roger Ebert review, that 9/11 figured in to the plot, so that’s where that guess came from…

Here’s the next one:

  • As in Rockwell, “somebody’s watching me”.
  • A friend takes the role of a mom
  • Disaster Seen As Catastrophe Looms
  • That old story: a critical success, a theatrical bomb, a cult classic that developed on home video
  • A walk in the woods
1877

We posted at the same time, but no, l put a link to the scene l was thinking about above. l know what kind of shot you are talking about though. lt even has a name, but l can’t remember.

l clearly underestimated the impact that that scene had.

1878

I’m slightly confused by the syntax/punctuation of these clues, and it seems too obvious, but Moon?

1879

Ah, not Sam Rockwell, and not Moon. Good guess though.

1880

A Midnight Clear?

1881

Nope, not A Midnight Clear.
