I wasn't too sure of if in fact it was supposed to be a serious film at the time.

Tragedy what happened to Paul Walker however this movie was pretty weak for the series. I think the best part was the ending (just before the credits) with the Brian and Dom driving part. The plot is pretty weak but they packed it with action to try and distract the audience from the next to no story. Also why did Deckard Shaw even bother about avenging his brother, from his back story he seemed like he was doing his own thing rather than have a family connection. I did like the other tie ins with Tokyo Drift even though the actor clear looks 10 years older who played the main in that movie. They did a good job with either getting Paul's brothers, CGI and cut dialogue to fill in from his absence. I like James Wan's horror movies but he needs to work on action a bit more.

2/5 Stars

Killer Joe (2012)

Overall a good film but I went into it expecting something a bit different. For a movie named Killer Joe there wasn't a whole lot of killing in it and I wasn't expecting to be following a dysfunctional family for most the movie. I gotta say though, the last 20 minutes was crazy. Matthew McConaughey was very good.

Nice one Minio. Probably my favourite Western. But I think it's a perfect film in how it's constructed, excellent storytelling to bring all the characters together, the Ringo kid introduction is awesome, the cinematography and the way the frames are put together is of course great, and the ending is great too (maybe a bit spaghetti-esque). I thought you would like it because it's where Ford is mainly concerned with creating myth as opposed to analysing it as well to the level he did in The Searchers.

I'm not sure what other Ford films you would like, maybe 3 Bad Men and 7 Women, I think they are more artistic and different in style to his normal works. Young Mr. Lincoln is great (from the same year), and if you check the Ford thread by bluedeed you'll see more discussion about his films in there. I'm glad he impressed you on his second chance

The last film I watched was 'Il bisbetico domato'. Of course it`s considered quite a piece of world cinema classics but I saw it just yesterday. And what I can say is this - it`s great! I was so longing for seeing a really good film and I got it! Chelentano is really great as an unconquerable Elia full of sharp jokes. Unconquerable? Well...Not quite

I contemplated the idea of watching silent Ford next, since I recently have watched a silent from a certain director and loved it more than any of his sound pictures!

George C. Scott plays a Michigan father whose seemingly innocent teenage daughter disappears while on a trip to California. The police are doing what they can, but he flies out there and hires a sleazy P.I., played by Peter Boyle. While daddy is back in Michigan, the P.I. finds that the missing girl has appeared in a low grade porn film. The leads stall from there, so daddy flies back out west to search the seedy underworld himself, even posing as a porn producer.

I didn't think this was great, but I like movies with a seedy side. I found it to be unintentionally funny, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it isn't exactly what I'm looking for in a movie like this. Scott and Boyle both do a good job, although it is far from their best work. I think this movie could've been directed better to be honest; it has the look of a TV movie. I certainly enjoyed it, but it needed a little more oomph to be great for me.

Yeah, it's much more of an action/adventure film than some of his other works in my opinion, went really fast for me. What director was that?

Watched that myself as it was on Film4, thought it was fantastic

Powerful and moving, Moore was amazing.

It's a whiskey salesman. I don't know exactly what the term "drummer" means, except maybe he's trying to "drum" up business or stir up interest in his product.

Gigli: 1/10 - Convoluted plot. Non-existent acting. Non-existent chemistry between Affleck and Lopez. Terrible dialogue. I want my 2 hours back!

Doubt: 9/10 - Not the best of 2008, but the acting, dialogue, and setting were all wonderful!

Thoughts posted in the 7th HoF thread.

The only thing about this is that I very much prefer movies set on modern earth, rather than in space or some other world. Still, this movie is a lot of fun, especially with the characters and the soundtrack.

The wolf scene in this film is TRANSCENDENTAL!

And that concludes a trilogy that had so much to be good but that's just overall disappointing (a bit like the screenwriter's career, Luc Besson)
This 3rd movie is a bit different on style and some parts of it are better than the other 2. However, the circle choreographed fights are still the same and the plot holes are still there! (Can't understand why the hell doesn't Statham have a gun always with him? Or when he has it why doesn't he keep it? The movie would take 20 minutes. Well,maybe that's the answer.)
Statham is equal to himself on this and I love Valentina, a incredibly sexy Statham-girl!
Good to watch at late at night if your mind doesn't want to think much, but it's far from being a good action movie.

This is probably the oldest gangster movie I've seen, and it seemed to me to be very much ahead of it's time. It starts out showing two youths getting into trouble; one ends up leading a life of crime and being in and out of jail, while the other becomes a priest. The story comes full circle in the end and it's a lot of fun. Of course, it stars Cagney and Bogart. Anything is worth watching for that reason alone. I wonder if Goodfellas would be the same if this movie didn't exist.
