Nope - I haven't.

I was cold on Violence as well ferris. It almost felt like a made for TV movie to me. Very very bland material that even a generous helping of style couldn't make interesting.

Eastern Promises was another disappointment for me. Not much interest in future Cronenberg projects at this point.

I hope you get around to MI3 ferris. It's more of a fun action movie.

The first part is disheartening since I consider EP Cronenberg's best picture. The bolded part signals the end of our friendship, it was nice knowing you Noff.  ;D

Violence is the best graphic novel adaptation ever (far better than Watchmen). I agree with Bill, EP is one of Cronebergs best films (Dead Ringers is my fav though).

I prefer AHOV to Watchmen, but not by much, however as far as best GN adaptations go my money remains with Road To Perdition. Really though, in my mind you can't go wrong with Watchmen, AHOV or Perdition.

I'll make it up to you. Maybe when I get around to seeing Letters From Iwo Jima. :)

I suspect that comparison wasn't chosen at random. ;D

I liked AHOV but it wasn't great. I kinda loved that final scene though.

Bourne is way better then you let on Ferris. I agree with what you loved and disagree with what you didn't.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.
