I dont think anyone beats Gerd Butler in terrible movies, guys needs to fire his agents. Everything except 300 is garbage.

Not see him in many movies but Law Abiding Citizen was pretty good.

I liked Three Billboards a lot, perhaps because I am generally a fan of movies such as them. But I can see where you are coming from.
The ensemble cast carried the film simply put. But once you start analyzing further there are obvious flaws. Hope the 2 amazing actors, especially ma man Sam Rockwell win that Oscar. Proud

And the film and direction (preferably to GDT, Shape of Water "looks" stunning from the trailer) honours go for the one who deserves more.

Gerard Butler haws like two fresh movies on rotten tomatoes out of 30 something. Absolutely incredible feat. Not accounting for the GOAT dragon movies of course. Those would make 4 total.

I thought the directing was the worst part really.
The tone was off during a lot of the parts in the movie. And I was unsure what he wanted to say with any of it. The racial issue in this movie is also incredibly tone-deaf and mishandled, and the redemption part of the story seemed like it was weird because McDonagh probably just wanted to get the characters together to deliver some fun dialogue and didn’t get how weird it was to gloss over the earlier parts of the movie.

I liked Machine Gun Preacher even though it was controversial.

I really liked Rocknrolla. Such a shame Guy Ritchie scrapped the trilogy.

That cast today would cost a lot now tho... Mark Strong, Gerard Butler, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Tobias Menzies

by RealGunner Mon Jan 22, 2018 6:48 pm

Rocknrolla sounds like snatch. Is it as good?

by M99 Mon Jan 22, 2018 7:33 pm

Not as good but still enjoyable. Liked it better than Lock Stock.

by El Gunner Mon Jan 22, 2018 9:00 pm

Yeah Lock Stock was boring af tbh
Haven't seen RocknRolla yet though. Will be sure to do so sometime

Absolutely. Not to mention the totally random illogical scenes here and there and some bizarre coincidences for the sake of story to progress. The director wanted this to be a Coen-Tarantino hybrid piece, but felt short. Still a really good movie overall.

The racism/male chauvinism etc shown however I felt the director was simply putting a mirror to those times. Aint the film set in the past?

by Freeza Tue Jan 23, 2018 8:45 am

Pretty sure it’s not set in the past

by Freeza Tue Jan 23, 2018 2:35 pm

PTA now has eight nominations. Hope he finally wins one. Long overdue.

by CBarca Tue Jan 23, 2018 2:50 pm

The shape of water picking up 13 wow

I have no clue anything about the film, just learned it's del Toro.

by Freeza Tue Jan 23, 2018 3:27 pm

The three amigos from Mexico dominating as per usual

Peter Dinklage's mustache made me think its set somewhat in the past.

Anyway saw Martin McDonagh is not nominated for best direction.

@CB Try to not watch the trailer for Shape of Water. Numbnuts are showing most of the story in there. Try to watch the film without knowing anything. From what I saw (and know) it is simply brilliant.

Saw a Spanish film called The Invisible Guest on Netflix recently. Really good, lots of twists and turns. Highly recommended to thriller fans.

Holy shit bruh. What a film :bow:

Agreed, highly highly recommended.

Who Am I (2014)

First German film I've seen probably unless I forgot one. This was a very good cyperpunk/internet thriller kinda film. Felt like a budget Nolan film in terms of story. Very good entertainment.

Great performances from Sami Khedira, Eminem, Sir Jorah and Zach Galifianakis. Cameo from Jurgen Klopp too.

7.3/10
