movie reviews such as they are movie reviews such as they are thursday april 11 2013 argo well didn t argo do well at the oscars best movie best adapted screenplay and best editing not a bad haul at all it had always quite taken my fancy and unimportant academy awards notwithstanding i finally checked it out it s a true story y know based on a just so crazy it might work plan to rescue american embassy workers stuck in iran in 1980 and a fascinating story at that pretend to be location scouting give the yanks some canadian passports and new identities and smuggle the muthas outta there yep nutso and heisenberg s involved so you know it s gonna be a hair raising adventure actually it s a pretty incredible all star cast and that can often be a bad thing but here it all works out fine all the performances are solid and nobody has one of those ott turns that upstages everyone else thankfully of course john goodman is in it because he is now officially in every movie made since 2004 are filmmakers trying to make the most of him before he drops dead from his obesity or something i like him enough but sheesh enough already anyway i really liked it it was a fun ride with a few laughs along the way coupled with some great casting of convincing enough lookalikes of the real folks involved and ben affleck did a lovely job at the helm as well as putting in a decent bit of acting scores 75 out of 100 and if you don t like that argo fuck yourself labels argo ben affleck breaking bad bryan cranston iran john goodman oscars true story united states usa posted by dtw 11 27 am saturday march 30 2013 doubt i ve been kind of interested in seeing doubt ever since it came out but what with one thing and another i never quite got around to it when it popped up on tv a couple of nights ago though i thought i d stay up and watch the titular doubt is what we have as a viewer over whether priest philip seymour hoffman is up to a bit of cloister room kiddy fiddling given that he apparently has taken an unhealthy interest in the only black boy in an irish italian neighbourhood church school meryl streep launches a bit of a character assassination even going so far as telling the boy s mother the story trots along well enough to keep you interested and guessing and the performances are not bad overall though it s far from the best performance i ve seen from psh amy adams was fine though and meryl was okay as a vile old nun the direction by the writer of the pulitzer prize winning original play and this screenplay moonstruck writer john patrick shanley was a bit pedestrian for me though ultimately the film was let down by its ending which kind of made me wish i hadn t bothered with the film at all numbers 44 out of 100 labels amy adams doubt john patrick shanley meryl streep moonstruck nuns philip seymour hoffman priests religion usa posted by dtw 12 15 pm wednesday october 31 2012 marley me i missed the first 20 minutes of marley me on tv and to be honest it is a film that was never really on my radar but dogs are fun and funny so i stuck with it and found myself laughing at the dumb shit dogs do but of course you know as well as i do that dogs don t live forever you did know that right and as sure as night follows day tragedy follows comedy in quirky american movies spoiler listen the dog dies and you will fucking cry like a baby so is it a good movie well it s what you d expect of jennifer aniston and owen wilson and a dog but it s all right for a gentle diversion until they start breeding kids ruin everything score 60 out of 100 if the wind s behind it posted by dtw 3 54 pm monday september 24 2012 where the truth lies i don t think i ve seen an atom egoyan film all the way through until this one i m not really sure why anyway i had seen a bit of this one on a previous occasion and the wife suggested we record it and watch it at our leisure when it came around for a second time in the space of very few months the premise of where the truth lies is about uncovering the truth about the murder of a young female hotel worker who was last seen making her way to the hotel room of a cabaret double act played by kevin bacon and colin firth charged with uncovering the real story is young reporter karen alison lohman well the story jumps back and forth from the late 50s to the early 70s with gay abandon as well as from one person s perspective to another s it s all quite twisty turny and a pretty fun ride it may even benefit from multiple viewings or maybe that would simply reveal how many plot holes there are hard to say good performances all around although perhaps the set decoration could have exaggerated a little the different eras since it wasn t always absolutely clear when the hell the action was taking place i d probably watch it again sometime in the future score let s say 67 out of 100 labels alison lohman atom egoyan colin firth kevin bacon where the truth lies whodunit posted by dtw 8 51 am driven to kill every week i m sure there s a different steven seagal movie on tv the guy must ve made hundreds actually surprisingly not even 40 but i really can t say i ve seen more than one prior to driven to kill the one i saw before was executive decision and he died about halfway through that if i recall correctly so it s not really a seagal movie i suppose interestingly steve here decided to play a russian putting on a hideous accent but he still came out of it sounding better than most of the cast i guess he has to work hard to fill his films with as many shitty actors as possible to make him look good or as good as possible blah blah blah i actually managed to watch the whole thing though which i think says more about the state of british tv between 10pm and midnight on a sunday than it does about the film itself score 23 out of 100 labels driven to kill gangsters steven seagal posted by dtw 8 33 am friday march 16 2012 the artist finally last night i went to see the artist people who know me personally might already know that i really wasn t convinced this film was for me not because i don t like silent films though i admit to not having seen huge numbers of them not because i don t like black and white films and not even because i don t like homages i just felt from seeing the trailers that it didn t look as though it was offering anything original nevertheless i booked the tickets and found myself reasonably enthusiastic by the time the film came around well let s not beat about the bush eh what an incredibly slight bit of nothing this film is just fluff seriously it s nicely made it s nicely played but the story can be summed up in half a dozen sentences this film absolutely does not deserve all the awards and accolades piled upon it it just doesn t in my opinion if the director wanted to make a film outside of the norm he should have gone all the way and made a short it s all this story deserved i give the artist 48 out of 100 labels emperor s new clothes fluff the artist posted by dtw 9 09 am friday february 10 2012 the girl with the dragon tattoo 2011 when i first heard that david fincher one of my favourite directors of the past 20 years was due to helm a second film version of stieg larsson s novel the girl with the dragon tattoo i was not exactly over the moon before too long though i decided to give him the benefit of the doubt if only because there was the original source material to draw from and ick re imagine thereby maybe possibly kinda not making this a remake per se what d ya mean i m stretching nevertheless i very much enjoyed the book and its two sequels and i enjoyed the swedish films even though the first one was by far the best of the three and all of them left plenty to be desired nb i watched the short versions rather than the extended cuts so was it necessary to have a remake of this story and is the new take on it significantly better than and or different from the first let s start with the opening credits sequence i really didn t like it fincher usually makes good opening credits but this one left me cold yes i could see the parallels with the story i m neither blind nor stupid but i just didn t like it it seemed out of keeping with the film and the story frankly i had that sinking feeling thankfully though from there onwards everything goes much more to my plan and the plot starts to unfold almost painfully slowly just like it does in every version of the story but once all the expostion is out of the way we get down to the meat in fine style and this is where it becomes real fincher territory of the ilk of se7en and zodiac investigation some random thoughts early on fincher sticks closer to the source material than the swedish film did but he changes things up at the end both versions of the film made changes yes and of course that is to be expected with any adaptation of a novel a bit of comparisony stuff fincher s version is better made too of that there is no question but of course he has the action taking place in sweden with swedish characters speaking english which is jarring in its own way q a was it necessary to have another film version of this story honestly probably not will i watch either version again yes probably both of them so how to score this puppy actually i m gonna give it 78 points the same as i gave zodiac on first viewing but i think zodiac is better overall and having now seen it a second time deserves to be scored a tad higher labels david fincher se7en stieg larsson the girl with the dragon tattoo usa zodiac posted by dtw 2 32 pm thursday february 09 2012 the dark sean bean and maria bello ably assisted by maurice roëves star in the dark what could possibly go wrong at the very least we are sure to see maria with her tits out and or getting head like she seems to in almost every film no alas it was not to be this time around on either count instead she runs around like a blue assed fly shouting sarah a lot sarah being the name of her daughter who is missing presumed drowned on a trip to see her father bean in wales i know mr bean heh heh has his admirers but i can t help but say i think he s a really poor actor i don t think i ve ever seen him good in anything with the possible exception of patriot games and an honourable mention for flightplan the latter being the only film in which i can honestly say sean bean was underused so awful was everything else i can t even bring myself to say much more really rather bad i dunno 28 out of 100 labels maria bello maurice roeves sean bean the dark posted by dtw 9 38 am about me name dtw view my
