New Releases and Coming Soon!!

Hmm David Fincher, Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, and Tilda Swinton. With this cast, they would have to do something really outragously awful for it to be bad. Fingers crossed it doesn't!!

how can people be rating this yet it hasnt even been MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh so cannot wait for this to befail on our big screens has a lot of making up to do after the (how do i put this nicely) pile of crap that was the ang lee Hulk.

But as it has Ed Norton at the helm and a very good cast i think its already beaten the past film. Make it worthy!

Update: just saw the trailer for this and WOW. really has that action packed feel with a single important word : Quality

R...T....F....S

Really looking forward to seeing this, christian bale as batman works so well.Heath ledger as the joker GOODIEEEE!!!!!! And the darker direction of the films is just what the doctor ordered!

Here's a saying to ponder: "Never piss off the guy with a carrot" Seriously you see a guy with a carrot run the other Fucking way, don't even think just run.




Have you ever seen a film that you know is just not great but you still like it alot for all the over the top utterly ridiculous nature of it. Well this is how I felt watching Shoot 'Em Up. Imagine watching Rambo and Terminator's homeless trigger happy Love Child. Now imagine the character is in a film like Under Siege except It's been pumped full of anabolic steroids, is bursting with testosterone and has snorted 2 pound of cocaine then you may just get the feel of how this film played out.



The plot of this is seriously twisted between plausible and insane. Clive Owen plays Mr Smith, who witnesses a young pregnant women running past him chased by a man with a gun, he steps in to help her causing a full scale shoot out with the baddies, all the while delivering the baby. However the mother gets shot and Smith takes the baby to look after when both the shooting is covered up and the baddies (lead by Paul Giamatti) are determined that newborn Oliver will die.



Now this is the part where the plot starts to get more WTF????? Smith takes the baby to Lactating Hooker (played by Monica Bellucci) who then inadvertently becomes a target so Smith ends up looking after them both in between various shoot outs. He then realizes that Oliver was genetically engineered along with alot of other Babies for his bone marrow to treat presidential hopeful, the Senator. And the Baddies are Gun manufacturers that would lose business if the Senator is elected with his harsh gun control policies.



Although the plot I just describe seems plausible (If not slightly insane) it's only when it gets put into action that you see the laughable nature of the story and characters.

Clive Owen is just yummy. Not in the tasty food sense......although what better specimen for cannibalism. Plays a very similar role to the Sin City role of Dwight, in nature and appearance. Brooding, Angry, Dark and menacing. He seems to be a homeless person but still suited like a vengeful biker though, with dark demin and leather, all accompanied with a personal amoury.




Monica Bellucci is great too as lactating hooker who become Oliver's surrigate mum, and into Smith's affections. She's sassy, sexy and quite tough thankfully because I hate the wimp wet noodle kinda female lead in action movies that need to be "protected" like from the sun, strong gust of wind and the occasional horny chicken you know. I like it when the female lead in action movies has balls equally as brassy as the lone gunman.



Speaking of...Paul Giamatti is fabulous in the role of the protagonist. Absolutely savage and determined to chuck as many hired goons at Smith as he can find. As side from the menacing bastard act, he does provide some comic relief and some great one liners too.

Overall the action is crammed in, There is a Sex scene gun fight (not even kidding), The gun fights are Over the top but fun to watch, The characters are likable, 2 guys get killed with a carrot, The plot is abit ridiculous but scraps through just, Not at all dull and never drags......Did I mention that it is a movie that is Stupidly pumped up and over the top???



(OPPS how did that ever get in there)
