Alex Cox is a good host. He directed Repo Man(1984).

Woods was also a damn fine vampire killer

Stone said he later regretted depicting the rebels killing surrendered soldiers, he said there was no verifiable proof it had occurred but felt he had to include it for balance.

Stone cold classic

I like Alex Cox and I like Salvador which, along with Wall Street, is the best film Stone directed. But in all hindsight Salvador is still having its political problems and it doesn’t matter who is in charge, an iron fist still rules the land.

Heaven & Earth is also good, and especially notable for being about the Vietnam War from the perspective of the Vietnamese - every other film and his Platoon is about what the war did to "our boys" with little mention that 3+ million people died

@TheDensley7 9 лет назад

Alex Cox has got Platoon totally wrong.

+Seo hyeon Please explain. It was actually one of the best Nam movies.

@@wingitprod Alex Cox says the films thrust is the American soldiers could have won if they had better offices. You'd have to be watching the movie on drugs to think that is what it is about.

@@kentallard8852 he also got heaven and earth wrong too. Li ly hayslip was raped by the village Boys in Vietnam, the whole movie is based on her life story..

@colinlogan3397 2 года назад

Really Alex you introduce these films as someone who is a cult director and film school background to take away from Platoon that "Poor Americans would have won the Vietnam war, if only we had more GI's." Really? Poor take on the what Stone was making a Nam film about.

he didn't say that

'Salvador'...a reminder that, before he became a douchey, right-wing lunatic (who recently quit acting and vowed to go into the antique business) James Woods was a damn good actor.

@TheWickerMan1981 4 года назад

One "douchey" right winger hardly offsets the mound of douchey, self-righteous lib shits that pollute the landscape with their safe, and corporate controlled messages to influence the dopey and over emotional wage slave masses. Woods is highly annoying now though, I agree. All of these wealthy cock suckers that feel the need to lecture we lower class consumers are equally odious. Most actors should recall they are a business, and you never discuss religion or politics at work. Cox calls out both moronic sides of the American uniparty though. It's a shame Hollywood is afraid of anyone with his level of talent.

@kentallard8852 3 года назад

You cant quit something nobody will hire you for

@apocalypsepow 2 года назад

He's still a good actor idk what politics has to do with it.

@TheDensley7 9 лет назад

Saintly whiner hero of The Killing Fields? Man, Alex Cox talks some rubbish.

@kentallard8852 3 года назад

He was right about Under Fire. That film turned a revolution and the US aiding a failing dictatorship and a journalists murder captured on film (which the film didn't even get right) into a lousy love triangle.
