If you loved Nic Cage in Kick-Ass, you'll love him in Bad Lieutenant. Had some random moments but I figure that's what you get with Herzog. Great locations, although things wrap up really neatly in the end.
Yep. Cage is gloriously unhinged.
Just seeing the visual interpretation of that dude's soul breakdancing seems enough validation on its own to justify the existence of the film.
The rest of the film was enjoyable and yet has the feeling of uneven-ness once its over. The action is way better. Johannson is unbelievably hot, though some of her stuff has definitely been cut. Cheadle doesn't quite come into his own, but has some of the best lines. Rockwell is great. The rest is just solid.
But I couldn't tell you what exactly is missing. There's a party scene that I kind of hate and there are lapses in logic that are hinted at being dealt with and then promptly dropped. In the end, you know what you're getting into and it delivers, it just doesn't add much that you can't piece together from the trailers (I think every action beat is spoilt in the longer trailer).
I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane.
ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A BORING MOVIE- Okay, it's not boring but it's not hilarious either. Needed WAY more Justin Long and Craig Robinson. Also, Katie Morgan has a terrible boob job.
Must agree with you both - watched Zack and Miri over the weekend, and it just felt off. Cringe-worthy stuff at points (I know Rogen and Banks' characters are supposed to be awful porn actors, but it was all I could do to keep from switching channels during those scenes). I like Kevin Smith, and I hope he can turn his career around, but I wasn't feeling this one.
I did follow this up with Boondock Saints, so I feel purified.
You should be neg-repped for watching Saints... but I'll hold back.
hahahaha this is true
We're mentally neg-repping you Tim sorry about all this but you brought it upon yourself

Couples Retreat. Pretty fucking bad. Was mildly funny at first and then it just goes completely downhill. And peaks with the horribly bad (show stopping, just killed the movie dead) Guitar Hero duel between Vaughn and Serafinowicz. Seriously, stay the fuck away.

You may recall that, about a month ago, I got the wife unit into some Kurosawa Samurai Cinema. Well, we were trying to figure out what to watch last night when she hit me with 'do you have any more of those samurai movies'?
So: 'The Seven Samurai' went into the DVD player. Again, she LOVED it.

Basically what I'm saying is that, based on what I've watched so far, we should all listen to Matt more often.
