Review the last film you watched

[kmart]

Jason Statham might one day deliver the performance of a lifetime in a brilliant original movie..
Until then he'll just be a 'lovable rogue' character in generic action movies. Seems a long way from "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock.."

Whether he doesn't have the acting range (probable) or is just so hopelessly typecast he needs a bigname director to take a massive punt on him is up for grabs.
It doesn't help that in between decent shots he does terrible fillers like the 3rd transporter or crash sequels which seem to be nothing more than a rich daddy getting his girl into a movie.

Mind you, before Pulp Fiction we all thought Travolta was a joke. I remember everybody in the cinema cheering when he got shot at the start of the movie. By the end of it he was a changed man and the new word in cool..

[OhOh]

Only 7? You heretic.

That's a good score from me. Only bettered by more a richly produced film or intriguing storyline.

[baldrick]

and the new word in cool..

he and nick cage instantly stop me from watching a movie - along with their brother bwuce willies

Jason Statham might one day deliver the performance of a lifetime in a brilliant original movie

he is a retard and a terrible actor, at par with Silvester Stallone

if he could have delivered that performance, it would have happened already

he is a big fucking joke, perfect to play small time player chavs

[alwarner]

^I agree he isn't a great actor, but he seems to be in demand. He probably gets 2-5Million per movie too.

He must hate himself.

You won't be rushing to see 'The Expendables 2' then?

'Jay and Silent Bob Get Old', which is a concert-footage film of Kevin Smith (director of 'Clerks', 'Chasing Amy', 'Dogma' et al) and Jason Mewes reprising their onscreen characters at the Hammersmith-Appolo Theater in London (which was packed- the Limeys LOVE these guys).

In a nutshell, it was awful- embarrassingly, unwatchably awful- I couldn't make it to the end- stupid, pointless, rambling stories with crude commentary tossed in to add... well, I'm not sure what- it was stupidly gratuitous, and Mewes came off as retarded in life as his character is on screen (without the humor).

2 out of 10- I chuckled maybe twice (as did the audience- they were silent for most of what was supposed to be a comedy performance).

It's a live recording of their podcast isn't it? If you weren't expecting that I can see how you'd be disappointed. I listened to a few of them last year and while it was amusing to start with it's the same stories over and over. The podcast they do gets massive figures. I'm not surprised it sold out given that it sells out week after week month after month in the states.

It was billed as a live show- it may have been a recreation of a podcast, but that's not an excuse for how much it sucked. I like the characters and I enjoy the movies, and I had high hopes, but it was just terrible.

[alwarner]

ha ha thanks for the review though, I probably would have downloaded it at some point (for the same reason you did). You've saved me two hours of my life.

The Bourne Legacy

Surprisingly good. Usual hokum about spies trying to cover things up but a good action movie, much better than the other Bourne movies.

[Butterfly]

^ was that 1, 2 or 3 ?

[alwarner]

It's the 4th film.

[OhOh]

^^^A weak plot, limited fear, wonderful shots if idiotic behaviour. Not a patch on the first 2.

3/10

[Marmite the Dog]

Watched MIB III last night.

The Midget enjoyed which means I did too. 6.5/10.

Oh, Will Smith still looks 21.

[Bogon]

Boring Bogon fact #288

The bad guy in MIB III is the New Zealand bloke from Flight of the Conchords.
I thought it was Hugh Lawrie for 1/2 the film, so I had to stop and Google.

Jermaine Clement in the flesh...



and in the film looking like Hugh Lawrie...

Not sure the young folk on this forum will agree but a 'must see' movie is -The Piano, ok it was back in the nineties when it was shot but i would love to hear anyone denegrate that brilliant film.
Scenic was absolutely breathtaking and the actual movie stars won only 3 oscars.
Check it out folks and you wont be disappointed i gaurautee.
THE PIANO.

[Butterfly]

The Piano

yeah, a classic and a brilliant movie to watch

[Finney64]

^^ Agree, classic movie with sublime Michael Nyman score, but why would you love to hear someone denigrate it??

[Necron99]

"A mute woman along with her young daughter, and her prized piano, are sent to 1850s New Zealand for an arranged marriage to a wealthy landowner, and she's soon lusted after by a local worker on the plantation"

Sounds gay. Womens Weekly, Oprah gay.

For utterly, absolutely, totally, deadly boring crap, it was right up there with Academy Award winner "Lonliness of the Long Distance Runner". It's one of those films that pseudo-intellectuals and faggy art buffs like to blather on and on about at trendy studio openings, and then condemn anyone who doesn't agree that it was the greatest movie ever as a boorish Neanderthal. Same kind of folks who make it a point of leaving "Wine Weekly" magazines on their coffee tables.

I was being flippant.

Yeah, stick with your Batman/Spiderman classics before you start slagging off an innoculous post of mine.
I wasn't CONDEMMING anyone who did not like the film, something got lost in translation to a superior intelligence as yourself.

^No shot at you was intended. Lots of people liked it, obviously. I didn't. There was no intent to slag off your post. This is a movie thread, in which people comment on movies, and whether they liked them or not, and why.
