Alan Rickman gets the plaudits for one of the most memorable movie villains (and rightly so), but I can't help think its unfortunate that he's completely overshadowed three other wonderful performances by Harold Innocent, Gwendoline McEwan and Michael Wincott. Never seen much stated about them but all of them really nail the evilness in different forms.

This really is a rip roaring adventure full of great characters and performances. I think initial critical response was mixed but often that's to it featuring yet another bland Costner role, along with the baggage of him influencing the direction as another of his 1990's vanity projects.

One of best thing as well are the brilliant sets, Nottingham castle scenes was film in France, and everywhere and extras feel legit Norman/Saxon. A lot of Hollywood medieval films always feel very Magic Kingdom sets but here it looks natural.

I've always like to imagine this film with a proper Northern actor like Sean Bean, Christopher Eccleston or David Thewlis as Robin. Or maybe even Carey Elwes.

Bronson film number 4 for me. This was a good one! Didn’t expect to see a young Robert Duvall and a young Randy Quaid.

The Phantom is a 1996 superhero film directed by Simon Wincer.

Based on Lee Falk's comic strip The Phantom by King Features, the film stars Billy Zane as a seemingly immortal crimefighter and his battle against all forms of evil.

The Phantom also stars Treat Williams, Kristy Swanson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, James Remar and Patrick McGoohan.

Watched Lady Snowblood tonight, starring Meiko Kashi and directed by Toshiya Fujima.

I did not know this was the movie that inspired Kill Bill, until I started watching.

I liked this a lot. Quentin Tarantino obviously did too.
