Have you seen The Machinist? Bullshit, even Krubrick couldn't turn Cruise and Kidman into good actors, a good director doesn't aways get shite actors to perform. And re the machinist, even the sun shines on a dogs arse occasionally - Bale's sunshine filled day tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On shite directors my movie received its first newspaper reviews last week and the coolest thing is actually reading someone else liked it who didn;t have to be nice because they are a friend/family/film programmer. Scored one star better than Soul Power and all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Malcolm X (Spike Lee's version) Brilliant. Denzel Washington is an incredible actor. I've been studying Malcolm X for an exam tomorrow, and could see that there's alot of attention to detail. Was loving the zoot suits as well.

I havent actually, but I've been reading and watching a number of his speeches. Quite extreme stuff actually! Shame he was killed by such cowards in the end, but amazing how he carried on rallying despite knowing he was a marked man. I'm definitely going to mark it down as summer reading, I find the whole civil rights, black power etc movements fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have you seen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_the_Buffalo_Roam ? interesting to see Bill Murray play him, very similar to Depp's portrayal.. such a character he's relatively easy to do I guess!

Just read the book last weekend in 1 sitting in the back garden. Thought it was a great red. I had heard about WTBR, only by chance when reading something about Murray. I think he only agreed to do a certain film for a studio as long as he was able to make WTBR. Also, I think he "stayed in character" for about a year after filming and pissed everyone off, getting into a fight with Chevy Chase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 In The Loop. Hmmm, okay, but not as good as the tv series imo. 7/10. Gran Torino. For an actor of Clint Eastwood's standing to go out on such an abysmal film is such a shame. What a load of tripe. Bad story, badly acted. 3/10 - only because the car was nice.

Howay 12457 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Bronson - Thought it was class really good acting by Tom Hardy. Surfer, dude - it's been slated but I actually enjoyed it simple laid back daft film, Woody Harrelson and Willy Nelson in it in all http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0976247/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously arent a real fan then I thought it was very organic and held me for about an hour. However lack of epic scale and proper storyline let it down.

Kid Dynamite 5908 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I took the film as more like Terminator 3 1/2. It tied up some loose ends from the first 2 and tried to repair some of the damage from T3. I feel its set it up nicely for T5 and T6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
