treeduck Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b2/Freelancers_%28film%29.jpg Worst 2012 movie I saw and a new direct to DVD low for DeNiro. 50 can't act at all Silver Linings Playbook - Much better, Bobby D! Nice he has a rare decent movie on his post millennium resume.Hansel and Gretel: Witch HuntersSide Effects The thing about 50 is he's totally unconvincing and uses the same tone of voice, same one emotion for every scene, but the character he's playing in this isn't convincing either and his decisions didn't make sense from one scene to the next. The whole thing didn't make sense in fact. Even his girlfriend and his cougar pal Dana Delany didn't make sense. His buddy the white cop, what the hell was he doing suddenly shooting two guys about halfway through? Another character that didn't make sense and seemed to change out of the blue. And after that De Niro gives 50 shit for the killings and makes him snort coke, which was a another plot dead end. And what was De Niro doing in this anyway, playing a cliche caricature who was totally one dimensional? I dunno what the hell Forest Whitaker's character was doing either. There were too many random scenes that went nowhere, like the film maker just wanted to film a scene like this and a scene like that and when Vinnie Jones manages to out-act everyone in the room you know you've got big problems. I could go on for ages pointing out the stupidity of the film. I suppose I got some entertainment value out of it, I just can't think what it is right now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/drbirdsong/OZ.jpg I'm as cynical, jaded and world-weary as anyone on this forum, but this movie made my year. The original is a classic that makes classics weep when they try to measure up. This prequel did the near impossible and somehow managed to capture the magic again. I loved it! I cherish it and I am so glad I bought the 3D version so I can watch it anytime I want to. I was laughing and cheering inside and it made me remember why I like movies so much. That little buried child inside of me woke up and had a lot of fun watching it. Run, don't walk, and see it. Rent it. Buy it. Just watch it.

presto123 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Nobody went to see The Conjuring? I've read a couple reviews that rank it as the best horror movie of the last 20 years. It has an incredible 8.1 rating on IMDB currently. Wow. That's 2 tenths higher than the godfather of slasher films......Halloween. I've got to see this movie.

Not absolute shite but extremely dull with lame cliche endings and substandard scripts and performances, even by greats like Pacino and De Niro. :hail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbirdsong Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/drbirdsong/HESHER.jpg I went from Oz to this. Man, what a depressing start, middle and most of the end. There is a surprisingly poignant story about a missing testicle. Joseph Gordon-Levitt will win an Oscar someday.
