Someone Like You

[IdolEyes787]

Finally watch Shaun of the Dead all the way through.I had seen bits and pieces of it on several occasions but never whole thing at once.

In this case the sum of the parts is far greater than the whole.

The International- Clive Owen, Naomi Watts.

I'm a fan of Owen's (see: Inside Man or Children of Men) and Watts (anyone who wasn't impressed that she could survive Skull Island in a diaphanous nightgown with nary a nip slip just don't know good actressin'), so I was looking forward to this film.

Sadly, it's a meh.
Workmanlike, almost pedestrian, thriller about a crooked bank doing bad things- one would think this film might resonate more given today's headlines but no, it really doesn't.
Can't quite put my finger on it.

Even the much hyped shootout at the Guggenheim was a letdown.*

Probably OK fare for late night TV...if it comes on, watch it.
Much like Law & Order, you'll be entertained without being absorbed...go ahead, fold the laundry, glance at a magazine, you can pick up the story later because you know what's coming and how it's going to get there.

Too bad.


*This scene reminded me of something and it took a few days to figure out what it was.
Oh yeah, the lobby scene in The Matrix.
Now there was three minutes of sheer fuck-em-up ridiculous fun.
Slo-mo bullet casings falling, absurd gymnastics and whole quarries worth of exploding granite...looks like everyone had a blast visualizing and executing this scene.

Nothing politically correct about it...two good guys (Neo and Trinity), dozens of bad guys (everybody else) and no worries about collateral damage.
The Guggenheim shootout in The International on the the other hand, was filled with "innocent bystanders" who even the bad guys took care to miss.
When you're firing AK-47s on full auto- holding them like pistols, no less- and not one bystander gets riddled with lead...well, even Keanu running up walls and backflipping seems more believable.
And that's a problem The International never overcomes.

[IdolEyes787]

I remember that movie.It made no sense whatsoever but it had a song on the soundtrack that I really liked ( can't remember what it was though).

For some reason I always put this movie together with it http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092272/

Nothing alike in plot but both are from the same time starring actors who were once teen heartthrobs who are now starring in successful TV series and both have really unexpected casts .But I think the main reason I equate the two is they both contained songs that I really liked but can't remember.

Keanu Reeves is in Youngblood .Pretty much his first real movie.Cool huh?

@Clocker Clive Owen appears to be going downhill at an alarming rate but me heart Naomi Watts( even when she is totally wasted as was the case here)

[The_Martinator]

El Laberinto del Fauno

It was pretty good, but I think it's a bit overrated at IMDB.

I'd give it a 7/10.
