decided to perform a little thread necromancy here, usually I just let my threads die but this one seemed to being well for a bit and it's a topic of great interest to me.
now let's see, directors I'd like to see more of...Jonathan Hensleigh, I finally got around to seeing kill the irishman a few weeks back and I really wish this guy would direct more movies (I also enjoyed his Punisher film, although I don't think it's perfect, it was his first directing gig after all).
Now this is a man who knows how to direct the sh** out of an explosion. He makes it an art form. Unlike people who just throw them in because they look cool like Michael Bay and Brett Ratner, when Hensleigh shoots an explosion, there's a real gravity to it, it's a big deal. He doesn't just show the explosion, he shows the surrounding area being affected by the explosion, the relationship between the explosion and the surrounding environment.
idk, I would love to see action movies from this guy, he has a real old school quality to him, mostly because he was an old school action screenwriter lol.
