Mediocrity?

So you didn't enjoy Lock Stock?

I agree he is way overrated and isn't what you would call a great director. But he has done some good work.

I haven't seen it. Snatch is alright but I wouldn't necessarily call it particularly good. I found RockNRolla pretty grating.

 

[El Freako]

Lock, Stock... is definitely his best, but I did enjoy Snatch a lot and Brad Pitt's turn as the Mickey in particular.

 

[tim290280]

I think Snatch is pretty decent, but not as good as Lock Stock.

What Snatch has going for it is a bit more star power, whereas Lock Stock has many great one liners and good repartee.

RocknRolla is kinda a step down from those two, due mainly to the ending and weaker narrative than his best work. I can see why you would find it grating Joe. There isn't really a central character or definitive plot, as everything feels incidental.


On a side note: I was watching a little bit of Iron Chef America this morning. Has anyone else seen this with Mark Dacascos hosting and been expecting him to do a couple of backflips and kick someone in the head?

Inglorious Bastards - 10/10

i loved it. i think Tarantino did it again and made another AWESOME movie. it was different then what i thought it was goin to be like but i still think it was great. i loved Brad Pitt's accent in the movie and Eli Roth was really good too. i made one of my friends go see it again and now i already want to see it again.

Death Race 9/10

it was a badass movie. the action was awesome. the acting could be a little better but all around a lovedl it and it was my first movie to watch on blu-ray.

 

[Chesticles]

Just read that Rampage is going to be playing BA Baracus in the new A Team movie. This seems like its going to suck horrendously.

Arsene Lupin

Kristin Scott-Thomas and Eva Green in a French language, but collaboration of French, UK, Spain and Italy cinema.

Good film, but hard to follow due to my inattention.

I was also unaware that Scott-Thomas was a French national and has been in several French productions. She surprised me with her role.

[Line]

I liked Basterds as well, though it's inferior to Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill films.

 

[Maxmonzter]

watchmen, wow that was some boooring film, just way too long. confusing at times and just overall 4/10

 

[Skeptic]

Defiance - 8/10 - I quite enjoyed watching this movie.

Burn After Reading - 3/10 - I laughed at a couple of bits, but all in all a poorly put together film.

 

[Pain]

I don't understand why this film gets so much hate. Its not the best Coen brothers movies but its not a bad movie either and definitely not a 3/10 movie.

 

[Paulie]

watchmen, wow that was some boooring film, just way too long. confusing at times and just overall 4/10

Obviously you weren't in the right state of mind when watching this one. Watchmen has been getting quite a bit of love.

Some recent film I've seen.

Fight Club (again, but more thoroughly viewed) - 9
I Heart Huckabees - 7.5
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - 6.5
Snatch. - 4
Inglourious Basterds - 9
The Virgin Suicides - 7
The Life Aquatic of Steve Zissou - 6
A Scanner Darkly - 7
The Virgin Spring - 9
The Shawshank Redemption - 8

 

[Pain]

Ouch, you gave Snatch a 4? What didn't you like about it? Its at least a 7 or 8.

 

[Line]

watchmen, wow that was some boooring film, just way too long. confusing at times and just overall 4/10

To be fair, it's an intelligent movie and you're not an intelligent person.

 

[Pain]

I might need to give Watchmen a second viewing to pick up on all the story. The first time I watched it was in two sittings.

It defiantly took me by surprise at how deep and fleshed out the characters were. Not your typical super hero movie.

I don't read the comics but from reviews I've read, its the best comic book to movie adaptation to date. I did enjoy it much more than Sin City which is also noted as being one of the best comic book to movie adaptations.

I could of done without the blue cock though.

 

[Arcane1129]

Recent movies I've watched: Boondock Saints, Fight Club, District 9, Gran Torino, Death at a Funeral, Step Brothers, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, and Rocky IV.

Probabably gonna watch The Departed tonight.

Also, I'm curious. What is everyone's opinion on District 9? I'm especially curious as to what you thought, Line.
