Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 26, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 26, 2017 Surprised that Nic Cage didn't play Matthew Modine's shitty role tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2017 Fully agree with D-Mal on this. What an absolutely atrocious flick. Myself and the missus actually watched it in November last year (when it was called In the Deep) and even herself – who thinks Love Island and Don’t Tell the Bride make for gripping, nerve wracking television – thought it was a load of gik. And how does Modine keep getting work? He's like the bastarding Gary Caldwell of celluloid. Also, that fucking Descent/Adrift cop-out hallucination ending made me cunting sick.  On a vaguely similar note, we watched a flick with the lovely Nora Jane Noone in it called 12 Feet Deep the other night. I fell asleep towards the end, but it was genuinely half decent for the guts of the hour I did see and the missus said the ending was brilliant, but again...Love Island and Don’t Tell the Bride, lads.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 27, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2017 It was absolutely terrible but I think if we're honest, the only three good shark films ever made are Jaws, Jaws 2 and The Spy Who Loved Me. They should stop making them. Matthew Modine hasn't been worth a shit for about 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched Full Metal Jacket the other day, the next day I watched Transporter 2 and thought was he always this shit and Kubrick hid it brilliantly?

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2017 And I remember when some people where championing him for the Joker roll in The Dark Knight and had subsequent shite fits because he didn't get it, after Ledger got the job. On shark movies, I have a soft spot for Deep Blue Sea though because it was a first date movie I had with me sons ma, and the cinema was great fun that night. Cunts screaming and shouting all over the shop. Just a great atmosphere that night, whatever was in the air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 27, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2017 You're right, Branquey, forgot about Deep Blue Sea, really enjoyed that although mostly for Saffron Burrows obv. On Modine, I thought he was the crappest thing in Stranger Things but I don't think it was much of a role, even though I love that show. He was really good in Short Cuts and Married To The Mob (love that film, see it lads) but that's going back donkey's years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved that film & used to watch it regularly. 5 star performances all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first saw it when I worked at the video shop & was amazed that Lori Singer wasn't huge after it, she was fantastic. Even Andie MacDowell was good.

Paid Members chokeout Posted July 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2017 I won't hear a bad word against Deep Blue Sea. It's dumb cinema, done right. ( although LL Cool J should have died!) as for Modine, he was very punchable in Pacific Heights and essentially made crazy Keaton the hero by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'm actually watching Deep Blue Sea as I type this.  Hat is like a sharks fin, indeed. Its wonderful, this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
