dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Mr. Brooks with Kevin Costner, Demi Moore and Dane Cook. Kevin plays a serial killer. He was excellent. Demi is the cop trying to catch him. Locke with Tom Hardy. Too slow and boring story. Tom was good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Hollywood made white actors and actresses play Asians and Native Americans and seeing those old movies now, just don't know how they got away with it? Also the whole black face era. OMG! Thank goodness things are changing, because I felt offended by this. I like the movie "The Sons of Katie Elder" with John and Dean Martin. lol Now that was something. Believing that John and Dean were brothers. lol 20 hours ago, Len Cnut said: He’s kind of a hero of mine. Well, John played many a hero in his time. He is a legend in Hollywood.

Charles Manson too, he'd make a good fuckin' third fiddle villian. You know they have the main villian like Stacey Bridges or Ben Miller and they always have two little lackeys with em? One of them. Oh Madsen would have to be a bad guy, Palance or an evil Eastwood. Yeah I can see Axl in a role like that. You know who played a good cowboy bad guy that you might not think of? Michael Beihn, from the first Terminator, John Connor's daddy. In Tombstone he played Johnny Ringo and just nailed it. I was kinda surprised. Val Kilmer steals the show as Doc Holliday but Beihn hangs right there with him. If you haven't seen that one check it out. Capone. Thumbs down. I was kind of offended they made such a bad movie about the guy. Blood Father. Thumbs up. I keep forgetting about Mel Gibson but I like most of his movies.

Why the fuck would I want to pay money for that when I've got a mirror at home? I think it was a really interesting thing to write about. A unique approach. Was it the best possible movie it could've been, I don't know, but I'll give it a 3 and a half stars out of 5 at least. I guess it depends what you look for in a film. I notice this thing lately in cinema where people are like if a film ain't exciting then it ain't good, its a sort of a character study, look at it this way, you like Kes right? Its not exciting, is it, as films go? Its a different sort of entertaining. Its important that the genre of gangster movies has sort of shades to it, in the way The Godfather is a family film as much as a crime film, or a kind of a metaphor for America as a country. Most gangster movies are like a rise and fall thing, this is interesting as a sort of an acute look at one mans fall, an unpleasant one at that. The truth is people want Capone to be Capone...and not a old fat guy out of sync with his surroundings dying a slow death but the fact is, to some degree, thats what he was in the end. Its a sad thing but I don't cinema should ignore sad things. I think it'd be interesting to make a film like this about a boxer, one of the greats...cuz most of em died pretty grim deaths. I mean can you imagine Ali's last days? The family preserve his dignity very well but it can't have been pleasant, especially for such a powerful man. Or Sonny Liston (found decomposing in a Vegas Hotel room shot full of skag, possible mob hit), Or Sugar Ray Robinson (pound for pound greatest of all times, died of diabetes I think, working in a kids home full of kids that had never heard of him), or Joe Louis (died serving drinks in Vegas).

I agree a lot with your other post, I’m all for these type of movies. The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke comes to mind. Even Unforgiven to a degree. But yea I like these types of movies and think they should be made. Just not made boring. Idk man it just couldn’t keep my attention. I had to watch it over the course of like 3 viewings to watch it all. Plus, and normally this doesn’t bother me, i mentioned Tombstone earlier and I’m sure they took a bunch of liberties with that, but it wasn’t boring. This director has talked about so much stuff added that wasn’t true, like it’s a lot. Listen to the guy talk and really the only thing fact based was Capone had dementia. If you’re gonna make this kind of movie about a guy like that at least try and make it real. But more than anything i just thought it was boring. Too slow with not much happening. I did love his gold plated tommy gun at the end that was gangster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if ''spy'' is the correct word but Flight Lieutenant Lee certainly was active in intelligence circles for both the RAF, his own service, and the British Army - and then there is this chestnut, Quote I was attached to the SAS from time to time but we are forbidden – former, present, or future – to discuss any specific operations. Let's just say I was in Special Forces and leave it at that. People can read in to that what they like. He was also involved in some post-war denazification work on account of his language skills. He had an ''interesting war'' as the saying goes. Even volunteered for the Finns during The Winter War! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
