Kevin Carr's Gloves 3182 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Took Mrs, er, *checks username* Magler to see 4 and the Silver Surfer yesterday. The first 20 minutes was pretty crap, but once I suspended reality and the plot got going, the movie was canny good. Some good special effects - though Mr Hornblower's bendy/stretchy special effects were pretty poor imo. 7.5 out of 10 on the Magler scale. I loved it being a big fanboy (looking forward to the edits) Mrs hated it and played tetris on her phone all the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Watched Alien again last night. It still scares the shit out of me tbh. Class film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Aye, watched Alien too but was lashed. Then I saw Collateral on DVD. I was lashed as I say and so this might have been lost on me, but what sort of professional hitman books a taxi to go around killing his targets? He could even have rented a car from Hertz if he didnt have his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 And while I'm on it, why was Tom Cruise a radioactive yellow colour throughout the film? He looked like a Vesta chicken curry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Another good outing from Jamie Foxx mind in this prelude to his oscar winning Mr Magoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 And while I'm on it, why was Tom Cruise a radioactive yellow colour throughout the film? He looked like a Vesta chicken curry. He had a touch of jaundice?? Anyway, Tom Cruise in Collateral must be one of the biggest mistakes of wrong choice of actor to play a part EVER - totally unsuited to the part.

snakehips 0 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Are you kidding? I thought he was brilliant. Couldn't be more serious, old chap! I thought he was the most un-assassin-like assassin ever. The crap attempt to make him look a little older by dying his hair slightly grey was piss poor as well. Pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Once you get past the fact it's Tom Cruise (which is always difficult with a major star playing against type) I thought he was really good. The film gets a bit predictable after Jamie Foxxxxx crashes the cab though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26182 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Match Point - I thought it felt a bit too rushed without enough time to allow any sort of proper relationship to build up with the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
