Oh dear, Mr. Caine, oh dear oh dear.
For such great actor, he has been in a shed load of shite films. For every Harry Brown there is at least a couple of Swarms.
As he said himself, he’s got bills to pay. Even that horrible Jaws movie bought him a house, so he doesn’t think poorly of it.
He said he does two for the studios and one for himself. I love his response to jaws four.
“Have you seen jaws 4?”
“No but I’ve seen the house it paid for”. -

@mn5 Just confirms my thoughts when I meet men who rave about Harry Potter.
Yep, good to know I'm not the only guy who has never seen a Harry Potter movie judging by those results.
I’ve never seen one either , I find Daniel Radcliffe’s face quite punchable . The only movie I’ve enjoyed him in was My Boy Jack, he was machine gunned to death in that.

It always amazes me how much or little some actors earn.
Michael Madsen as one example was absolutely brilliant in Reservoir Dogs but it sure as shit didn't set him up for life. He was in 14 movies in one year if I remember rightly, probably all crap too as he admitted but they pay the bills.

I saw an interview with him where he laughingly admitted that he never turns down a job that can fit his schedule. He just sees what he does as a job.
Its like saying for every 10 stupid little spreadsheets i have to create I get to solve a task with some nice code. -

Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse
On Netflix. Looked stupid and funny, and delivered on both counts. The usual teen movie tropes were there, but with Zombies and boobies, if a little undead.
3 zombie cats out of 5 nailgun crossbows
You mentioned boobies?

He is a great actor along with the likes of Dr Niro and Gary Oldman. I wouldn't go so far as to put Michael Caine in this category, I love his work but to me he plays variations on the same character heaps of the time.

Funny you should say that. I saw DDL play the same character in There Will Be Blood as Gangs of New York.
Every movie I see De Niro or Pacino it feels like exactly the same character.

I think you mean he's been hamming it up since the early 80s (actually, that's not fair, he's only been hamming it up since 2000).

Haha. Good retort. Fair enough, he can be.....intense. but anyone who gains/loses weight, learns to box, play saxophone, drive a cab etc is a cut above most actors in my humble opinion.

You are forgiving crap like Dirty Grandpa for De Niro? He’s just as bad as Caine in his choices these days, apparently due to a big spending wife.

Not remotely. That looks terrible. My point was, and is, that he's a far better actor.

@rancid-schnitzel said in Re: Movie review thread...:
Just saw Black Panther. Other than GOTG not a fan of Marvel etc but I thought this was one of the better ones. Still just a 3.5 out of 5. The 100% ratings are utterly absurd for a flick like this.
What I did find weird is that despite the awesome tech they were still fighting each other with spears.
The casting was mostly very good IMHO, except for Forrest Whitaker. Christ that guy has become a joke.

I got through about a quarter of a book many years ago and that was it. There are few things a person can guarantee in life but me never seeing a single movie is one of them.....
The movies after the Prisoner of As.....the 3rd one are actually brilliant kids flicks. Think Goonies. They seem self aware and try to distance themselves from the LOTR schmaltzie romanticism fantasy movies usually have.

True Romance
Underrated classic. Christian Slater surprisingly decent ( surely his last good role ), Patricia Arquette ( very hot and curvy )....some cool sudden tarantinoesque dialogue and violence and an absolute multitude of outstanding cameos/bit parts from some real industry heavyweights ( SLJ, Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Brad Pitt etc )
Check it out, i hadn't seen it in years but a cracker of a flick.
4 Detroit's out of 5 LAs....
