Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 23, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2012 In fact, Hopper doesn't get nearly enough credit for just how gifted an actor he was. any Hopper recommenation's outside of the obvious ones? Â I love the guy but he has such a massive resume it's hard to get through it all, and he's clearly made some shite. Â Any gem's hiding in there i need to see? Â Tracks, The Indian Runner and Red Rock West will do you. Â AND STOP DOUBLE POSTING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members FLips Posted July 24, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2012 Finally got round to watching Moonrise Kingdom earlier, and it was just magical. I won't rank it among other Anderson films until I watch it again, but while it's fresh in mind it's easily one of my favourites. Very touching, with a cast that all perform fantastic - the two leads especially. I'd be shocked if the girl didn't get more work from this. Ed Norton and Bruce Willis are great in it, the latter is actually a really good comedy actor. Some of the effects are ropey, and the lightning bit was pointless, but as a narrative it's by far the most well structured of Anderson's films. Sadly due to his style and quirks a lot of his films sometimes feel like a lot of sketches just stuck together, whereas this feels like a perfectly flowing film. Â I can't wait to watch it when it comes out on DVD. Â FIVE STARS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffingtonClyro Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) What are people's views on Kevin Smith? I ask because I watched Mallrats for the third time in my life at the weekend. The first time I saw it (about 12 years ago) I thought it was average. I saw it for a second time about 5 years ago and thought it was woeful. I actually really enjoyed it when I saw it at the weekend however. Really snappy and intelligent dialogue. His other films however, have been incredibly poor in my opinion. Chasing Amy, Cop Out, Zac and Miri, and even though Clerks is held in somewhat high regard I just cant look past the abysmal acting in it. He still seems to have a MASSIVE cult following despite the absolute turkeys he's made. Kevin Smith. Good or bad?

DeanoTheGame Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 He's awful. Just really fucking shit. Clerks is shit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fox Piss Posted July 24, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2012 Thought "Red State" was decent but he only directed it. Â Rest is hit and miss with me. Clerks 1/2 and Dogma being the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I was very much a fan of Kevin Smith for a good bit of the last decade, but not so much anymore. I guess I grew out of his films when Judd Apatow started making movies. I think it was via Kevin Smith that I got into Freaks and Geeks though. Chasing Amy is one of my favourite films, but the rest I can take or leave. I hated Zack and Miri, and I'd been really looking forward to it. I thought the script to Clerks was great, but when I actually saw the film about a year later (this was around 2003, it wasn't out on DVD and everywhere selling the VHS wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffingtonClyro Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 What's the correlation between Smith and Freaks & Geeks Pitcos? Freaks & Geeks was brilliant, I tend to go through the whole series every couple of years and it just gets better every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 No direct link that I know of, but Freaks and Geeks came out on DVD during the peak of my Kevin Smith fandom, and either Kevin Smith or people on his forum were really hyping it up, which was what got me into it.

Paid Members Maverick Posted July 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2012 Like Pitcos Chasing Amy is one of my favorite films, I love the story line and I think Affleck is fantastic in it. It was the first Smith film I watched and it blew me away. Iv'e found Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Dogma to be enjoyable aswell. The ending of Dogma was terrible though.

Mr. Seven Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The Grey  Strong contender for film of the year. The marketing sold a completely different film, which is fine, considering this is one of the most draining and affecting things to come along for quite some time. Frankly, I didn't think Joe Carnahan had it in him. Sure, Narc was great but he's been squandering that goodwill ever since. Here, his direction is superb. Even the one or two iffy moments don't detract from proceedings. The film, of course, has almost a slasher film structure, as Neeson's group is gradually whittled down, but you feel each and every one of their exits, regardless of how long their character has been onscreen. The acting, all round, is perfect. Dallas Roberts, Dermot Mulroney and Frank Grillo in particular flesh out what could easily have been one-note cliches in the hands of other actors. But, it's all about Liam Neeson. Forget the OTT heroics of Taken and the memes that surrounded this film upon the release of its trailers. It's an absolutely incredible performance, one laced with an extra level of poignancy given the heartbreaking similarties the actor shares with his character.  The ending seems to have provoked a good deal of irritation among viewers. Personally, I thought it was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
