I watched the movie “snitch” the other day…i was suprising happy with the film…the rock is an interesting character in alot of his films[/quote]
Damn, I was torn between Snitch and Broken City. Went with Broken City and was disappointed :([/quote]
I watched part of that movie last week, it was really hard to get into, and I’m a big mark walberg fan (and russell crowe) It just didnt have the umf that you’d usually get from those guys films. But i would definitly recommend that you go and rent snitch, it was suprisingly good[/quote]
Ya, I donno it just could of been so much better. The entire plot line with his girlfried was boring and pointless. It was just filler I guess. The whole time I’m just waiting for the pace to quicken and it just didn’t happen.
I like Marki Mark and Crowe too, but their last couple of films haven’t been good imo. I didn’t like Contraband, it was boring. Ted was funny, I’ll give him that. Oh and the other guys was funny too. My favorite Walburg (sp?) movie is Shooter though. Just a straight shoot em up, which I’ll take everytime. The last movie I saw with Crowe in it was the one where his wife is convicted of murder when she’s innocent. The next 48 hours or something like that, again I thought it was boring. The last movie I liked with him in it was probable a Beautiful Mind. That was what 15 years ago?
I’ll grab Snitch this weekend. I’m also a huge fan of the Rock. Faster is my favorite film of his.
I’m seeing Superman too! Then I can finally read the superman thread… [/quote]
definately agree with you about shooter, that movie is soooo badass…and i believe the name of the russell crowe movie you’re talking about is the next 3 days, i like that one too…also have you seen pain and gain yet? since we’re talking about mark walburg and the rock, that movie was funny as shit[/quote]
I have to disagree about Pain and Gain. That movie was painfully unfunny. It was mesmerizing to watch, because everything that happened was so awful and shitty that you can’t believe that it’s based on a true story. But it is not funny, not at all. I came away from that movie hating every single character in it, including The Rock’s (and that’s really hard to do because he is my favorite actor).
So yeah, if a movie where every character is an unlikeable piece of shit is funny, then Pain and Gain was a riot.
As far as other good Russell Crowe movies since A Beautiful Mind:
American Gangster
Master and Commander
Cinderella Man
State of Play
Body of Lies (though he’s in more of a supporting role to DiCaprio here)
The Next 3 Days was also good, but these are better.[/quote]
AMERICAN GANGSTER AND MASTER AND COMMANDER WERE AMAZING MOVIES
