The David Duchovney, Julianne Moore and black fella one? Yus. "We don't have time for you to pretend you know what you're doing!"
Vice Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I watched The Goonies last night. It's pretty enjoyable throwaway fun, nothing more.
Mr. Seven Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 In a bid to avoid going out over the weekend and stave off my growing alcoholism, I rented out a whopping four movies and for once managed to actually watch them in the alloted time. First up was I Love You, Man which I hadn't even intended on getting, as it turned out for an extra
Vito Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Third on the list was Punisher: War Zone which wasn't as fun as I was expecting. The violence was inventive and Dominic West was awesomely over-the-top, but it felt a little rote. Sure I wasn't expecting Shakespeare but it just seemed a little dull. Props to the inventive murdering though, I nearly cheered when Punisher wasted the Parkour guys, and there was plenty of fists and chair legs put through faces to keep things interesting. Punisher:Warzone is everything an action film should be, a ridiculously high body count and dozens of fantastic novelty deaths. Did you notice how every foreigner in the film fluctuation beween their supposed nationality and Irish? The Jamaican Parkour guy alternated between Jamaican and Irish and the Russian mob leader started speaking with a heavy Russian accent only to then switch to Irish in the very next scene.
Mr. Seven Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) I believe the dreadlocked black Parkour guy was named McGinty. His accent was incredible. "NOW IF YEH DON'T MOIND, OI'LL BE USIN' DEH ROOF!" Edited August 26, 2009 by Mr. Seven

KingOfMetal Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) not specifficaly an italian mob movies, but good gangster films none the less The Departed Sexy Beast The Usual Suspects Edited August 26, 2009 by KingOfMetal
Steve Justice Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Once upon a time in America. Man that film goes on. Over 3 hours. Donnie Brasco Knockaround Guys (not of the same caliber but still good fun) Blow is pretty amazing to. Although not really so much of a gangster movie.
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 26, 2009 Paid Members Posted August 26, 2009 The Usual Suspects isn't a gangster film. You shouldn't really look any further than Miller's Crossing.
KingOfMetal Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 The Usual Suspects isn't a gangster film. You shouldn't really look any further than Miller's Crossing. It sort of is. The main story is meant to revolve around the execution of a multi-million dollar heist. Heists are pulled off by gangsters
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 26, 2009 Paid Members Posted August 26, 2009 Heists are pulled off by gangsters Erm, are they? Sometimes they are but not exclusively.
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 26, 2009 Paid Members Posted August 26, 2009 The Usual Suspects isn't a gangster film. You shouldn't really look any further than Miller's Crossing. It sort of is. The main story is meant to revolve around the execution of a multi-million dollar heist. Heists are pulled off by gangsters Not really though. They are proffessional thieves, not gangsters. Also the plot and style of the film are nothing like gangster movies.
ultimo the great Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Goodfellas - been wanting to see this for ages but not got round to it, loved every second! i have the godfather trilogy too which i aint watched yet anyone recommend any similar italian mob gangster films apart from scarface? Not so much italian mob films more just from the Gangster genre State of Grace King of New york The Untouchables Mean Streets Casino Carlito's Way Road to Perdition White Heat Stuff i hear's good but haven't seen A Bronx Tale The Funeral Little Caesar The Roaring Twenties As for Once Upon a Time in America i didn't rate it at all, Robert De Niro and James Woods give excellent performances but it's fantastically flabby and drags so much.
Gladstones Bitch Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 DRAG ME TO HELL I'd been waiting to see this for ages as I'm a big fan of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead films so I was hoping this might match there greatness. I enjoyed the film overall but it didnt come close to his early Horror film and the comedy parts in this didnt sit as well as in earlier films especially near the end.
EdgarTheSlouch Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 sorry to reverse the thread a bit but is anyone looking forward to Tron 2?
