Dead In Tombstone

I basically just watched this because it had Mickey Rourke and Danny Trejo in it. Not a masterpiece as I expected but still some alright mindless fun if you're in the mood.

This one was a big disappointment for me.
90 min of shooting guns (but not in a cool john woo way)

I thought rourke was I'll used too.

I like trejo a lot but he can't carry a movie with a lot of dialogue
That's why machete worked
Rodrigues knows what he's doing

I do love Michael Anthony hall as a villain though :)

Yea, I don't like it.

Besides, i don't see the difference between mumblecore and any other indie movies?

I didn't have high expectations at all so didn't get disappointed. Hall stole the show... quite a transformation from the geek kid from the 80s! I'd like to see Trejo in a lead role of something similar to American Me. It would be authentic and a great film with the right script and director.

Yeah it's a really idiotic term.

Personally I'd call anything in that style Cinéma vérité/neo realism/new wave influenced cinema.

yeah - he needs to have appropriate dialogue..

did you notice that Rourkes voice was altered in the first half of the film .. then suddenly it wasn't…

made me wonder if they had problems - he was looking pretty rough in that film.

Yeah I did notice that. It sounded overdubbed and there were some erratic cuts too that looked like they had to piece footage together. Hopefully he's keeping his demons at bay.

"The Iceman" 7-8/10

God movie. Well acted and entertaining all the way through.


PS. I have no idea how to attach pics.

I liked that one too. I'm always a sucker for serial killer biopics. Got a couple of books to read on that guy.

This was a blend between a serial killer movie and Goodfellas. I was kinda surprised to see so many famous faces in it.

Redemption

Basically the same as every other Jason Statham flick I've seen recently which isn't necessarily a bad thing because it's a formula that works. Quite liked the themes of surveillance and the gap between which and poor. Decent enough time killer but ultimately forgettable.
