I enjoyed Fruitvale Station. One of the better films last year.
12 years a slave - 8/10
A very good movie. Has decent acting, cinematography and interesting choice of music and powerful writing. What I think this movie does best is show the brutality of slavery and what it means to be free.
I thought the flashbacks to his free life were great. They were never anything significant or amazing. Just everyday things that we take fro granted.
With the Oscars so close though I would add that IMO movies like American Hustle and Wolf of wall street were better and had better acting.
How many long takes are there in the movie? I am a sucker for uncut shots and Steve McQueen just looooooooves them in Hunger and Shame.
2 Guns - 8/10 .
Mark Wahlberg is quickly becoming my favorite actor over the past few years, he can be funny as hell when he wants to be and is great in action and drama movies too. Teams up well with Denzel here for an entertaining, funny movie with a memorable final sequence!
Just saw Lone Survivor last night too and wow what a movie, Wahlberg didn't really steal the show either it was a terrific all round movie, they built the tension up perfectly. I liked the respect they gave to the real life soldiers too at the end of the movie.
Yeah I really enjoyed that too. Marky Mark has come along way since he did Shooter. He and Denzel made a good duo too.
2 Guns is just a fun filled action romp
I'm going to have to check this out. Wahlberg hates being called Marky Mark, Eminem called him that on MTV years ago he was pissed.
Homefront. 3 1/2 out of 4 stars.
Probably my favorite Statham movie thusfar! Stallone is a pretty good writer!
I can not spell Whalberg so Mary Mark is just gunna have to suck it up.
Damn better than Crank? Have to check this out as well. Yeah Stallone has always been a good writer, I believe he won an Oscar for Rocky.
Dear God! The scene at the gas station!? Not going to spoil it but, its quick, fast and visceral! Looks soooo painful! I was like, "Ahhhhhhh......Eeeeeeeee......Daaayyyuuum!"Yeah i thought Homefront was much better then his previous movies they were becoming pretty mundane and predictable, definitely what Stathy needed, even though he does kick a lot of ass it was always for a good reason.
....Well Stallone writes with heart and ferocity, always has. So when you add an action character like Statham to a Stallone script, you're going to get the goods! Seriously. If you enjoy Statham as I do, Homefront is totally worth the price of admission. I bought it without thinking twice.Damn better than Crank? Have to check this out as well.
