Jusoda Kid 1 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 War - How the fuck is Jason Statham still getting top billing in films? Surely Transporter 1 and 2 proved he cant carry a whole film. Hes better off sticking to bit parts in snatch and lock stock. His accent in this drifts from broad cockney, to terrible american to australian. And they always give him martial arts stunts to perform yet he cant lift his leg above knee height. Jet Li should be embarrassed he lent his name to this one. Have you seen him in Crank? Fuck me, that was woeful. Wasn't sure whether to give this one a go. Will be avoiding it now. Crank is more like a comedy. What about the bit where he gives his lass one?

Happy Face 29 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Has anyone saw The Man Who Wasn't There before? as it is Coen brothers I do expect rather good things but I'm awaiting some feedback off you gents before I commit to anything, Happy Face get it sorted. Not viewed as their best, but personally I love it to bits. Black and white noirish thriller that looks stunning. A lot of people watch Lebowski or OBWAT and don't see the humour, and this one buries it even lower, but nevertheless it is hilarious. Ed Crane, the barber who never speaks (Billy Bob Thornton) gives the performance of his life, uttering only a few words, it all come from his face. I wouldn't recommend it to Wacky or anything, but if you've got the patience for a slow burner you can't do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go anywhere near Crank as the scars on my mind from watching Revolver were still pretty painful. A wise decision, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bought it from eBat along with Blood Simple, another Coen Brothers film. I bought them because they were involved in Paris Je T'aime. A film of 13 or so short stories. Quite a diverse set of stories of love all set on Paris. Actors include Steve Buscemi, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Nick Nolte, Bob Hoskins, Elijha Wood, Natalie Portman and Gerard Depardieu. If you've got a heart, you'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 5068 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 The Woodsman - Kevin Bacon is superb as a paedo. Kind of a "its not his fault" slant on the movie but he came through in the end and realised his ways. (Dont want to spoil it all...but probably have) The Last King of Scotland. I was expecting a masterpiece after all the hype. I was let down. Fracture. A tad far fetched. Poor ending. Ryan Golsing impresses me as an actor and Anthony Hopkins was a bit too much like Hannibal Lector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacthed 'Out of Time' last night. A fairly standard thriller. Enjoyable enough though, if only for Eva Mendes' arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a bit inapproriate in front of my colleage. I had a wank later though Anyway, iirc you reckoned I was gay for claiming Underworld:Evolution was shite. And aye, he's a police chief who is conned by his lover and it's set in the Florida Keys. Edited October 5, 2007 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Gangster looks like a slight departure (he's not a cop). Getting positive reviews too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
