I watched Southland Tales the other day. It was ok. It was sort of creative in the way they shot it but I thought some of the themes were hack and played out. I think the whole paranoia about the Patriot Act and Big Brother angle has been done many times before and much better than in this movie. I didn't think the director had much to say beyond that. A lot of show for very little substance.
Plus it was hard to really care much about any of the characters. |
One of my friends recently had ACL surgery which laid her up for a couple days and asked for some movie recommendations. She loves gritty, gangster films; favorite movie is actually Goodfellas which floored me coming from a chick.
<o></o> Anyway, threw these at her and figured I copy/paste what I wrote for discussion or add to the queue for anyone else who likes this gene. <o></o> Cheers! The Way of the Gun – personal favorite you probably never heard of, subtly complicated plot (9/10) Running Scared – pretty mainstream, probably heard of (8/10) Lucky Number Slevin – see above (8/10) Layer Cake – my absolute favorite out of the group (10/10) Kiss Kiss Bang Bang – mainstream, lots of comedy moments (8/10) Smokin' Aces – everyone I talked to either loved or hated, I loved it (8/10) |
I liked Layer Cake a lot. Almost no one I talk to has ever seen it. I read the book too. It's a good book- has a different ending.

Way of the Gun - Great little underrated flick. Running Scared - Rocks! Another gem Lucky number Slevin - Never seen it Layer Cake - Never seen it Kiss Kiss bang Bang - Great flick. Robert Downy Jr's true comeback flick. Nice comeback for Shane Black as well. Smokin Aces- It was ok. I didnt think it was anything special. I expected more. |

Footfistway-7/10 pretty funny at times, similiar style to a napolean dynamite. About a taekwondo instructer. The Love Guru-5/10 but had some suprisingly funny parts, shity plot of course. |

Just finished watching Iron Man and it was maybe a tad overrated but still quite entertaining. The blu-ray disc was pretty ****ing impressive with sound and visuals.
|
Just got done watching The Gathering, Sasquatch Gang and The Promotion. All were pretty average.
But, man Christina Ricci is sexaaayyy! |
