Thomas Jane is a great actor and the premise looks suited to his ability, watch it bro.
thomas jane is not a good actor. hes bad ass in a few movies. but acting well isnt his strong suite

i mean he acts well ENOUGH, but hes never gonna be winning any awards any time soon
[QUOTE=mikeyt493;37009613]Clever dumbness sounds like a bit of an oxymoron to me[/QUOTE]
Clever dumbness is entertaining and well executed. Dumb dumbness is exactly what it says on the tin.
Watched 28 Weeks Later, it was just bad. Pretty much every single character was fucking dumb and everything they did was dumb, a bunch of shit made no goddamn sense, all action scenes where just shaky cam up the ass and [sp]how the fuck could the infection have made its way over the channel into France?[/sp]

kind of sort of.
It's superior to "Dumb and Dumber" though.

[sp]Channel tunnel broseph. Only 50 kilometers and you're in Calais. After that, piece of cake.[/sp]

This film is the tits. Based in South Africa and yes, its a definite must see.
Batman Begins. [sp]Liam Neeson is an extremely badass Ra's Al Ghul, and Katie Holmes did a much better job at playing a likeable character and love interest than Maggie Gyllenhaal did. Her (TDK SPOILER) death probably would have had an effect on me if she still was in TDK[/sp]
Plus I absolutely love the movie's portrayal of the League of Shadows.
9/10

I think The Mist was his best movie in terms of acting, especially then end, well except for that one line, but I blame bad writing for that one.
I thought Thomas Jane was a pretty good actor. I liked him in Hung
For a while (unrelated to his acting) I thought he was the one who played Harvey Dent in TDK. Didn't realize that was Aaron Eckhart because they look and sound so similar.
8/10 The Dark Knight Rises
It was good, but I thought it was disappointing
Tom Jane just wants his kids back
Memento 9/10 (second watch)
one of my favourite movies of all time for sure
Somebody was watching Aliens, so I sat down to watch
9.9/10
I don't know why, but no matter how many times I watch it I never get bored.
I would kill to see a re-release in theaters.
Dark Knight Rises - 8/10
It was really good and I enjoyed it thoroughly but I have a few problems with it.
[sp]The whole police charge thing in front of the courthouse was hilariously impractical and should never have worked. Even with Batman swooping down and shooting one of the tumblers, it was a bunch of unarmed police against a mob of armed thugs with 3 tanks.
After escaping the hole in the middle of no where, Bruce Wayne somehow manages to get back to Gotham with no inside help, completely broke and without any of his usual resources with no explanation at all.
I liked that they revealed the young cop guy to be Robin but I don't like how they did it. Having his first name actually be Robin is just dumb, they could have just revealed him to be called Dick Grayson or if that isn't obvious enough for people who don't know much about the comics, Dick Robin Grayson.
They made it far too obvious that Batman wasn't going to be dead. Throughout the whole film they were pushing the idea of him dying so frequently it got a bit tiring. Hinting at something that bluntly throughout the whole film generally means it isn't going to happen.
Also a couple of small things like Bane knowing the exact location of the Armoury with no explanation and Bruce being able to track down Selina Kyle on a random street in the city but needing her to help him find everyone else and trusting her even though she was the reason he got caught and sent into that hole in the first place.[/sp]

1, [sp]agreed but they were actually armed[/sp]
2,[sp] He's been trained by the League of Shadows to become invisible and a master at sneaking, hiding etc[/sp]
3, [sp] He's not Dick Grayson though. He's John Blake. He is a successor to Bruce, not a sidekick.[/sp]
4, [sp] I thought they did well with the whole him dying thing... But I had a feeling they wouldn't let him die and they didn't. Which annoyed me on second watch because it made all that stuff with the funeral and stuff feel a bit pointless[/sp]
5,[sp] agreed with the Bane bit, since it's off-record he technically shouldn't have been able to find it and I doubt Fox would tell him about it, and Bruce tracking Selina Kyle is a fair point but maybe it was an area he knew she'd be+we don't know how long he was looking. As for trusting her, he did because he knew she didn't actually want to lead him to Bane (She actually said that they were going to kill her I think it was.) and he says a few times that he thinks there's more to her than just a thief so he's giving her a chance to kind of redeem herself and help the city[/sp]
[QUOTE=mikeyt493;37033454]1, [sp]agreed but they were actually armed[/sp][/quote]
[sp]Maybe you are right but all I saw was one pistol and a whole lot of batons.[/sp]
[quote]2,[sp] He's been trained by the League of Shadows to become invisible and a master at sneaking, hiding etc[/sp][/quote]
[sp]It's not him getting back in that annoyed me, it is more the fact that it isn't shown or explained. He is just back suddenly like that hole in the desert was just down the road.[/sp]
[quote]3, [sp] He's not Dick Grayson though. He's John Blake. He is a successor to Bruce, not a sidekick.[/sp][/quote]
[sp]That is part of the problem though, they just invented a character to be Robin instead of using one of the many Robin's that already exist. It is like if Batman wasn't called Bruce Wayne.[/sp]

[sp]I think it actually would have been better if they did just let him die and had John Blake take up the cape and cowl at the end.[/sp]

[sp]He doesn't really have any reason to think that though, he just does. If it actually had her doing something good earlier in the film maybe it would be more believable but basically everything she does up to that point are acts of selfishness.[/sp]
The Dark Knight Rises
Uhh 6/10
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;37034890]Mysterious Skin
I honestly don't know what to give it. Maybe an 8? I was so thoroughly disturbed the entire time watching it that I almost can't praise it, but at the same time, it did it's job [I]so well[/I] at disturbing me that it's hard not to.
If anything, I'd give it an 8/10, but man, it's a hard film to watch.[/QUOTE]
I loved Joseph in that movie. Really hard maincharacter to act out!
The Descent 7/10
the only thing i liked was the first half really, the fun seeing character development done good.
second half just got sillier and sillier
Crash (2004) - 9.5/10
A very powerful and entertaining movie.
Edit:
Also the soundtrack is really good.
[video=youtube;JqUDeBPTouU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqUDeBPTouU[/video]
[B]4.3.2.1[/B] -- 7/10
A British film about 4 girls and a diamond heist. Each girl's story plays out on the weekend and you see each story at a specific time. (Shannon: Friday, 15:00) The story is intertwined with each others.
Clever and fun. Drama with a sprinkling of comedy, and Kevin Smith cameos :D
Heat 9/10
I love how they present this movie - you get 2 main guys, who are completely different sides of the law, who are very alike, both just trying to do what they call work. You get shown both of their lives and story in equal amount, and it doesn't force you to choose who you want to succeed.
What are some other great heist movies?
Zodiac
8/10
Jake Gyllenhaal is adorable no homo
abraham lincoln vampire hunter:
dont watch it. its terrible. just the worst

What's wrong with it
a horrible script with horrible dialogue, excessive slow motion where it's not necessary, generally poor acting, and a tone too serious for it's silly premise even though it ends up being unintentionally hammy anyway. [sp]and at the end the joke is that barack obama is going to become a vampire hunter too.[/sp]
just an overwhelmingly stupid, and also boring and forgettable movie
dont watch
I watched Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies.It was horrible as hell.
I give it 0.01/10
why would you want to watch that?
Harry Brown
7.5/10
Children of Men
9.5/10
amazing
