Fat Spanish Waiter Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Just watched Meet Joe Black for the first time in ages. It was awesome, everyone in it is awesome, and the score is somehow better. Great movie. Have to make a specific mention of the gorgeous Claire Forlani here - Great point, Sean Connery's daughter in The Rock too. Here's the score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great movie. Have to make a specific mention of the gorgeous Claire Forlani here - All I can think about now when I see her is... "Are you thirsty, Angus?" Also... Why have american ad agencies lately become obsessed with using actors to endorse hard liquor? Just the other day I saw Tywin Fucking Lannister in a Chivas Regal ad.

AxB Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Of all the Jason Statham films in the world, BLITZ may very well be the most Stathamic. It also has the most random people from TV shows from before they were in TV shows (Walking Dead's Governor, Littlefinger and Gendry from GOT, Vod from Fresh Meat)... the film makes little sense, and the ending makes none at all. And when you've got jacked up muscle-dude Statham and skinny fat, pasty non-athletic Aiden Gillen in the same movie, which one do you get to be constantly shirtless? Gillen, obvs. You should watch it, it's really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 A couple more Netflix movies: The Score - Saw this back on release in the theater and loved it. Still do. Remember when Edward Norton and Robert De Niro actually tried in their movies? Yeah, this was like the last time they did. De Niro is a high-end safecracking thief, Norton is a young up & comer who's got a line on a major score in the Montreal customs house. They partner up to steal a sceptre. Fun movie and one I like a lot. It's not deep, there's no underlying message, it's just entertaining with a super high-end cast (Marlon Brandon and Angela Bassett also appear). 8/10. All the Boys Love Mandy Lane - Made in 2006, this didn't get a US theater release until 2013 because of a distributor going bankrupt. Amber Heard stars as Mandy, a girl who got suddenly really hot over the summer. As a result, she's the center of attention among the in-crowd boys who all wish to be "with" her. At the end of the school year, she's invited for a weekend away at one guy's ranch. Everything's going as planned until the friends start dying. Anyway, this movie is awful. I slept through 20, maybe 30, minutes of it (it's only 90 minutes long) and it took me like 5 seconds to get caught up. The production values, the plot, the dialogue, the acting - all terrible. Oh wait, there's a twist ending! How original. Anyway, the only positive is you get to stare at the gorgeous Amber Heard for 90 minutes but that ain't enough to save this one. 2/10.

Brian Fowler Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 De Niro had recently stayed trying again. And I dug Mandy Lane, but I love slasher films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Woodbine Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm totally with you on All The Boys Love Mandy Lane, just a massive waste of my time. The same director made The Wackness though, which I loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Looper. Felt like it was 5 hours long. Time travel movies have all sorts of hurdles explaining rules and such, and even with voice covers constantly it still didn't make a ton of sense. And that makeup job on Joseph Gordon-Levitt was horrible and embarrassing and distracting. What's wrong with his face? Its the movies; we can suspend our disbelief. But not with a metric ton of makeup and prosthetics on your star's face. Thought the concept was cool, but the execution was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne Hathaway nearly drowned while swimming on the beach and the nearby photographers reaction was to...eh, take several pics of her while she was visibly struggling and screaming and not bother to assist in any way whatsoever. Dear God, these people are scumbags. So much so they've got me feeling bad for Anne Hathaway. And I didn't think that was even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst things about The Black Dhalia is how we're constantly told Mia Kirshner and Hillary Swank look so much alike. A great deal of the plot hinges on it. Except they don't. At all. Never mind a passing resemblance, they have totally different facial features. It's very odd casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 All the Boys Love Mandy Lane is far from perfect, but I appreciate the try for something different. And it has some good qualites to it. And the movie only cost $750,000 to produce--for that amount, the product is decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Watched Star Trek Into Darkness last night and like its predecessor, I also liked this one. Not sure which one I preferred. Have to think about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimLivingston Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 The problem for a lot of people was that Into Darkness played like a homage to Star Trek movies of old instead of a new direction like the first movie did. I'm fine with him paying tribute in a sense. It's not as good as the first one, but I enjoyed it well enough. It's just a bad combination of everyone's hard-on for Benedict Cumberbatch along with the character he portrayed. It was like nobody wanted to see any of it.
