Panic Room
Directed by David Fincher
Trapped in their New York brownstone's panic room, a hidden chamber built as a sanctuary in the event of break-ins, newly divorced Meg Altman and her young daughter Sarah play a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with three intruders - Burnham, Raoul and Junior - during a brutal home invasion. But the room itself is the focal point because what the intruders really want is inside it. From TMDB

Go on Batman (89) - I'm Batman Batman Returns (92) - The BEST Batman and the BEST Christmas movie Blade Trinity (04) - all scenes with Parker Posey are 5 stars. At least we still have the 1st Blade movie

neutral · AI labelView post →By the way, as other people have correctly noted, it's fair to say he has *been in* some good movies. I adore Panic Room, I respect Fight Club, etc. I just don't think there's much evidence that he is any good at *leading* a successful movie that people like, which is what they keep trying.

positive · AI labelView post →For Car Theme week we have another of my favorite. Seen him at least a dozen times. He always surrounds himself with talented musicians. Pete Anderson is the guitarist with the creative leads. You would enjoy his shows. you also know him from Panic Room the movie www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6F7...

neutral · AI labelView post →Out of curiosity I finally watched BARBARIAN last night. I appreciate someone whose favorite David Fincher movie is PANIC ROOM. Lot of fun structural gambits even if the whole feels slim and in need of someone with no interest in control. Still, 3 bones.

positive · AI labelView post →Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart stay one step ahead of a trio of burglars in David Fincher’s PANIC ROOM.

neutral · AI labelView post →PANIC ROOM is such an underrated Fincher film. Top 5 for me. Perfect in every way. Including the casting. I've never been more afraid of a country western musician.
positive · AI labelView post →Put some respect on PANIC ROOM because this Fincher film is a great time at the movies! Big thanks to @cameronscheetz.bsky.social for joining us to talk about his first R-rated film.
positive · AI labelView post →Even David Fincher whose films have some of the best title sequences of all time -- Se7en, Fight Club, Panic Room, Girl With the Dragon Tattoo -- and this last film was this. It just lacks excitement. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk5y...

neutral · AI labelView post →Time to be educated about silent movie tropes, gang! There’s learning happening! (And it lets me confirm my opinion that Panic Room is derivative and The Fugitive a fresh take on being tied up on the railway tracks.)

neutral · AI labelView post →I recently learned there's a novelization for David Fincher's PANIC ROOM, so for the movie's 23rd anniversary, I went into the some of the differences between the two versions. #BookSky #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →I felt that movie started out with tight potential (like “Panic Room” in a rock club), but the third act just sort of meanders toward the end. P. Stew did an amazing job though - as did the others!
neutral · AI labelView post →I have a sneaky fondness for David Fincher's PANIC ROOM. It's a film entirely about logistics and plot, but it handles those so well that I can watch it and go "aha, I bet Jodie Foster is about to do this" and it doesn't bother me. Also, Jared Leto's character comes to a bad end (always a plus.)

neutral · AI labelView post →This week we're joined by Shahir Daud (of @onlymoviepodcast.bsky.social) to talk about Panic Room and why the production of the film, rather than the story or ideas, seems to reflect David Fincher's obsessions.

Fave films/TV series: Bird (1988), Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999), Panic Room (2002), "The Shield" (2006–2007) & "Godfather of Harlem" (2019–present).
neutral · AI labelView post →I didn't expect this film to remind me of Inside Man so much. #Splatterday And a little bit of Panic Room as well.
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally checking out the PANIC ROOM 4K. Oversharpened, but one of the better examples of this approach. The film always felt like it wanted to be digital, forever stuck between eras. This almost gets it there. Also, Ian Buchanan is one of the great one-scene performances ever. Sets a whole mood.
positive · AI labelView post →Everyone is saying Ghost Dog which is right and correct but i fucking hate the end of that movie so Panic Room.

positive · AI labelView post →Hiya spooky #WIPSnips buddies! This is from WIP 2, in which Mads and Harper mull over a movie to watch. Madison suggests 'Panic Room', telling us this novel takes place in 2002. Important infos! Also I love describing movie theaters. Only, our narrator is somewhere else. Not our realm at all.

positive · AI labelView post →Thinking about Panic Room (2002) as David Fincher's "now here's one for the ladies..." Crazy how he only has one film with a female star and I frequently see Forest Whitaker and Jared Leto mentioned over the actual leads lol

neutral · AI labelView post →What do you think? 10 Cloverfield and Panic Room came to mind but both are too hostage-y and anything else was too supernatural. I think the conceit of film is to get you out of the house (or the problem in) so it’s tough.
neutral · AI labelView post →So I just watched "Tiger House" - www.imdb.com/title/tt2911... I don't know why. Some bot shared a clip from this movie and it caught my eye. It's "Panic Room" with the production value of a toothpaste commercial and just about the same amount of film making. 1/10 #Movie #Review
