Mlauzon dude.

Would you mind doing something about your location description, so you don't screw up the page in every thread you post in. That would be swell. ;)

Thank you for your time.

I think everyone should check it out.
VanDamme should definitely do more along this vein.

I hate this movie...it was horrible yet I could not turn it off

Just watched Aliens. It's a credit to the film that it keeps you perfectly interested for over an hour before you actually see the titular character.

OOoooh, aren't you mean? Not blonde anymore. Tried it when I was hairdressing, but I don't think it would suit me now that I'm just a nerdy librarian in training.

I think James Cameron does sequels very well. Aliens and Teminator 2 I find very hard to compare to the original and find a top.


And good girl! Love that film :D

The Punisher (2004). This was a fun, though dark, comic book-based revenge flick that has no pretense of its place in life. Once it gets going, it is a hard-hitting, over the top action flick with some humor and even some sense of randomness thrown in (the guitar scene was sublime). The acting was fine, the direction was competent. The action scenes were awesome. While the story may have been a little flimsy, it was consistently so, and either way, being based on a comic book such things are pardonable. Overall it was an outstanding fun dick flick. Ashe.

Its a shame they changed the villian from Ma Gnucci to the weak ass Travolta character...

Kevin Nash was funny as The Russian though.

alkytrio666 02-20-2010 10:16 AM

Alright, I was too tired to give this thing its proper review last night.

Shutter Island (2010) - 4.5/5

Come one, come all- let a real filmmaker get inside your brain and tamper around, because the experience is exhilerating. There is no McGuffin twist here, no cheap shots- what you see is what you get, but when everything is said and done you will need to experience it all over again. The best part of the movie is Scorsese's decision to take this film back to it's genre roots. The story was already set in the 1950s, but Marty uses Lewton scare tactics, a Hitchcockian camera and Clouzot's slow-burn technique to bring us an experience we simply never have today. An island is as perfect a location as any for this filmmaker's careful touch, and what starts in mystery ends that way; it's set somewhere off of Massachusetts, but this place might as well be on another planet. Robbie Robertson has organized and created one of his best scores to date, a thrilling music accompaniment that jives perfectly with Scorsese's images. Most impressive, though, is the cast- all of whom deliver jaw-dropping performances. Kingsley is mysterious and Max von Sydow is a welcome blast from the past. The real treasure, as always, is DiCaprio, an actor of tremedous power, who gives one of his most sensational performances here and whose ability literally allows the movie to work.

Checking this one out this afternoon - was pumped in the first place, but that review made me even more so.

F.I.S.T. (1978)

F.I.S.T. is one of the few films out there that illustrate Sly Stallone's great acting talents. Stallone really brings his character, Johnny Kovak, to life and gives one of his most memorable performances. This film shows that, having gone a different route, Stallone could have become a much better actor. After this film, Stallone had a few other good films but the majority were crumby sequels, cliche action films, and poor attempts at comedy. It's really a shame he didn't put his talents to better use like he did in his earlier work like Rocky, and Nighthawks.

The film begins in the Great Depression of the 30's and follows the life of Johnny Kovak, a labourer who works at unloading trucks. Who, with his coworkers after being severly mistreated, and underpaid fights back against the company. This leads to Kovak becoming a member of the Union F.I.S.T, the Federation of Innner-State Truckers. At first idealistic, Kovak's morals and values are challenged when he has to get organized crime groups involved to get what's fair.

My only complaint with the film is, in the later scenes were Stallone plays an older Kovak, his portrayl is a bit weak given his limited acting abilities at the time. This, however is only a minor complaint, he still gives a great performance.

The script is good, all the characters are realistic and well fleshed out,and the great director, Norman Jewison puts his talents to good use in F.I.S.T. Also, filled with a fantastic supporting cast (including, Peter Boyle, and Rod Steiger) all these elements come together to make F.I.S.T. a film that is definetly worth seeing.

-7.5/10.

Black Water (2007)


Half decent rampaging croc flick set in Australia. Some good acting, solid FX and fairly believable (with a couple of exceptions) set pieces. Worth spening 90 mins to watch.

I've not seen Paradise Alley, but Nighthawks is another great Stallone flick.

Shutter Island (2010)

Wanted to give this a proper review myself:

A hulking, brooding monster of anxious filmmaking, all wild storms and unsettling scowls and crooked angles; a hand-woven tapestry of flashbacks, hallucinations, corrupted memories, and unreliable reality. DiCaprio's protagonist Teddy is a faulty flashlight in the dark, labyrinthine mess of Shutter Island.
There have been notices of influences like Fuller, Hitchcock, Kubrick, and while I think all of these are present, make no mistake that this is a Scorsese film. A singular work, no doubt, but Scorsese for sure. Playing almost giddily with twists and cliched devices, no matter when you think you have all the pieces put together, he makes this picture not about the final result, but about getting there. It's about the journey to the end. And he builds the tension, and holds us in captivity, until he releases it like a pressure cooker and the credits ooze onscreen. And I have to say, the final few minutes of this film, and the questions presented there, just knocked me flat.

Fabulous acting, cinematography, set design, everything really. A maddening, wonderful cohesive picture.
