Anyone on here seen the Stallone version of Get Carter? I'm teaching the original to my film class at the moment and feel like I need to make some comparison to it. Is it as bad as I've heard, or does it unfairly suffer when put up against the classic original?
I suppose I could just watch it myself instead, but wanted some Caf input. |

Derailed, ignoring two ridiculous plot holes its pretty decent, 6.5/10
The Prestige, good film, kept me engrossed throughout, was a bit repetitive in parts and the twists weren't anything on previous Christopher Nolan efforts. 7.5/10 |

American Gangster - A forced attempt to make a movie involving all popular genres - the mafia, Harlem, drugs, Vietnamese war-time idiocy, cops chasing criminals, a 'inspired from true story' plot. Not recommended.

Saw the following movies lately :
The Darjeeling Limited : Typical Wes Anderson movie. Not for everyone, but those who like his brand of humor and coming-of-age movies ought to love it. I loved it. It was his dedication to Satyajit Ray and India, I think he did a decent enough job. Good performances from Brody, Schwartzman and Wilson (probably his best). Definitely worth a watch !! Cloverfield - Entertaining, daring, but definitely didn't live up to all the hype. I fell for all the hype and honestly was a more than a little dissapointed at the end. Eastern Promises : David Cronenberg + Russian Mafia in New York + Viggo Mortensen as a Russian Mob Hitman + Naomi Watts + Decent plot twists = A good movie. There is this one fight scene in a sauna that is legendary. |

Cloverfield.
Whiney, shitcock characters with no depth whatsoever, five minutes patchy coverage of a relationship does not a good story make. Original concept, some good cinematic sequences that have a tendency to repeat themselves ten minutes later, brilliant special effects and at times, a very engaging film. A found it dragged a little despite not being very long, and the ending was very gay. 5.5/10 |

Just have to recommend the film I watched last night...Paris J'Taime...18 five minute short films, set in each of the 18 districts of Paris by different directors. Directors include the Coen Brothers, Tom Tywker, Wes Craven...and cameos from Bob Hoskins, Gerard Depardieu, Nick Nolte, Steve Buscemi, Ben Gazzara, Gena Rowlands, Willem Dafoe etc...all based on the theme of love...some very funny (Coen's especially), some tragic.
So glad I'm going there in two weeks, has really whetted my appetite. Highly recommended. |

Good Will Hunting - I liked it. Appealed to me on many levels. Any movie which has a good plot or storyline gets half of my approval and only poor acting can ruin the other half. Despite me not being either Ben Affleck or Matt Damon's greatest of fans, both suited the role. Robin Williams was excellent.

Juno - Hmmm. I didn't like the dialogue in some of the scenes but a good movie overall. Ellen Page is a good actress with a massive forehead. And Jason Bateman really should be getting some decent lead roles. I haven't seen Superbad but Michael Cera played his character from Arrested Dvelopment in this movie. The soft spoken loser type that he seems to do so well.
8/10 |
