the thing to remember when watching this film is that brando wanted to do his part pretty much in drag. it makes the film much, much more entertaining than it really is.About to watch The Score with Marlon Brando, Ed Norton, and Bobby DeNiro.
I know what you're saying. But "How To Train Your Dragon" is CGI-only, and it's outstanding.
I don't remember much about this movie. Let me know if it's worth re-watching.Be sure to watch the extras on the DVD if you have them. They show Brando and De Niro doing the same lines a few times, and they're pretty unique with each take. Really helps shed light on their abilities.About to watch The Score with Marlon Brando, Ed Norton, and Bobby DeNiro.

I didn't knwo that. and even in purely retrospect, it's true.I"m a bit ashamed to say that I'll still say buy-bye on occasion the way Norton does when he's "in character".
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure- based on the films sf mentions- that he's underwhelmed by the motion-capture technology in those particular CGI films. the characters are all dead behind the eyes, despite moving around quasi-realistically. "Dragon" is a pure CGI animated film more in the lines of non-CGI animation.I'm with sf about those first two, and bit with Tintin too- but I admit that the trailer won me over by the end.
And he's Divine in the role...the thing to remember when watching this film is that brando wanted to do his part pretty much in drag. it makes the film much, much more entertaining than it really is.About to watch The Score with Marlon Brando, Ed Norton, and Bobby DeNiro.

bit i read was that he showed up for the first day of shooting in drag and make-up. frank oz, the director, was like "WTF?!" it kind of killed the working relationship the two had for the rest of the film.'El Floppo said:gtfo

You guys can't be serious?It's a standard genre heist pic with arguably the best three actors from the past three generations. Just cool to see these guys on screen together. It's a pretty straight forward movie yet none of them mailed it in.

Need to turn in your man card if you don't like this one.I liked it. I've found Andy Dufresne to have odd tastes in movies. Especially the part about not liking anything made before 1990.
I think Andy is one of the hardest to peg around here as far as where they are coming from with movies.
It's the quintessential film that shows what a hack a once great actor had become. It is so painfully obvious that Brando's phoning it in that it's really uncomfortable.You guys can't be serious?It's a standard genre heist pic with arguably the best three actors from the past three generations.

It's 1975. And yes, I can't be pigeonholed.'TexanFan02 said:
Another example: I watched the completely implausible Law Abiding Citizen this weekend and thought it was pretty entertaining.Brando is barely in it. Maybe it's uncomfortable for you to see the fat and old Brando. It's not a memorable part by any stretch but definetly not a hack job.

deniro has been largely mailing it in over the last 10-15 years. brando's last good role? maybe "don juan demarco" back in '95.
no other film in the history of cinema has been as disappointing to me as The Score.I remember driving over the mountains from Tahoe to reno to catch it on opening night. With the talent on board, both in front of and behind the camera, I was giddy with anticipation. Is was also my favorite genre. But it was so bland, tepid and mediocre, that the my colossal disappointment registered the greatest gap I ever experienced between expectation and reality.Over The Score?You guys can't be serious?It's a standard genre heist pic with arguably the best three actors from the past three generations.

I know De Niro's been choosing a lot of bad movies. But really, What Just Happened is excellent and very recent.
Those are to obvious. Even Chaz Bono knows those are prerequisites. A movie like The Score is how you catch someone slipping.The Score isn't a man card movie.

Nah. The Score is a decent heist flick, but it's not nearly as good as Mamet's Heist. The Score isn't mantastic enough to be a man card movie.Those are to obvious.

Looks like a solid rental.
Oh yes. That eternal classic starring the immortal stars Omar Epps and Tupac.
They are only man-card movies if they star Ice-T or Ice Cube.
Despite some poor reviews, I am looking forward to seeing this movie. It's on my DVR.Wall Street: Moneny Never SleepsI loved the original, one of my favorite 100 films. I had somewhat low expectations going in with this being a sequel and all, but was pleasantly surprised. $ Never Sleeps is a very entertaining movie. I've heard complaints that the moview was too long, but it went by very fast for me, and I couldn't believe it actually lasted over 2 hours.Douglas is very solid. Easily the best acting job I've seen LeBouf pull off. A very timely movie considering current day events. I really like this movie.
In critical thinking, they call this "poisoning the well."
i liked the first one well enough. it bogs down like most ritchie and big hollywood films do. RDJr makes it fun, if not interesting.
I really enjoy Downey. But being a fan of the Jeremy Brett BBC Sherlock series, I think the movie was too fluffy.
I'm a Guy Ritchie fan all the way. I just think that the movie could have been better.
I was surprised by how little i hated Ritchie's Holmes. Of course, i didnt see it til my expectations were ground down to the point that anything less ridiculous than that inane fisticuffs scene would have improved my impression. As a purist, i had intended on boycotting it, but Frostilicus sent it to me amongst a treasure trove of DVDs in return for a kindness, so i watched. Not only did i find a way to enjoy it, but my major concern - that the franchise would cheapen a cultural institution - was largely assuaged. The sequel will be a larger challenge. I know from my cousin's recent experience directing Pirates4 that producers use the huuuuge backend $$ involved in sequels to get their grubby fingers on projects in ways no one would ever let them in originals in order to give ascendancy to market-tested over creation decisions. There were a lot of bitter pills which powerful creative people swallowed on P4 (and now its looking like cousin & Depp et al WILL be shooting P5&6 late in '12) with profit participation in a $billion-grosser as incentive & that scares me. Though the hiring of the great Stephen Fry as Mycroft is a step in the right direction, i still worry about the Smartest Man in Cinema History being dumbed down for an entire generation by the series.
The movie was entertaining. I'm not claiming it sucked. But I can't help but compare it to the vastly superior new BBC version of Sherlock set in the modern era.
Tried watching the first one 4 or 5 times and didn't make it more than 5 minutes at any point. Not a good movie, imo.'saintfool said:
