"Fire It Up! Fire It Up! Fire It Up!!"

Just watched it again, after 14 years, back then I never really appreciated this cuz I was a bit too young to understand the story, but damn this move rocked! I dont want to spoil anything for those who havent watched this, but for some odd reason, watching this again (2008) reminded me of a lot of things...

I wonder if The Hardy Boys (WWE) got theirr signature move (the Swanton Bomb) and their getup from this movie. Hmmnn...

Damn this movie had it all, action, cheezy, heroics, vengeance, the damned heartbroken lover, fantasy, and even watching the stupid characters didnt give me a headache.

Im not going to rate this and compare it to todays generation of filmmaking cuz that would be unfair, so Im gonna rate this according to how films were made back then.

This one was rockin awesome!

The soundtrack was cool as hell too, ((STP, NIN, RATM, J&MC, The Cure))
This ones a gold classic!!

Factoid: The movie was based on a comic.

    Big Fish Big Fish

    An adventure as big as life itself.

    DIRECTED BY: Tim Burton
    STARRING: Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney, Blly Crudup, Jessica Lange, Helena Bonham Carter, Alison Lohman, Robert Giullaume, Marion Cotillard, Steve Buscemi, Danny DeVito

    Synopsis

    Tim Burton directs the fantasy drama Big Fish, based on the book Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions by Southern writer/illustrator Daniel Wallace. Billy Crudup plays William Bloom, a young man who never really knew his dying father, Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) outside of the tall tales he told about growing up, making his way, and meeting his mother, Sandra Bloom (played as a young woman by Alison Lohman and in older age by Jessica Lange). During Edward's last days, William and his wife Josephine (Marion Cotillard) hold bedside vigil as the old man recollects elaborate memories of his youth (in which he is played by Ewan McGregor). Still doubting the the legends and folklore, William makes a journey to meet a mysterious woman (Helena Bonham Carter) from whom Edward had bought property.

    My Review

    With the director Tim Burton and the composer Danny Elfman, we all have imagined Big Fish to be a NICE EDWARD SCISSORHANDS ENCORE. The truth is, not exactly an encore, but still supplied with the same tone, heartwarming fairy tale for all ages, and Burton-Elfman-ish style.

    Adapted from a book by Daniel Wallace, Burton convinced us that the movie is at least as good as the book, without losing his directing style in each angles. The UNIQUE storyline with imaginative characters were represent well by Burton into the screen of a movie. I haven't watched the book yet, but I'm sure that the movie Big Fish is exactly what the readers hope. Bunch of great casts, and memorable quotes, deeply acted, and well executed. But what I concern about is, I'm afraid that after a few years, Big Fish will be only well remebered as another hot job from Burton, a nice Scissorhands' follower, and then there will be nothing much left about it, becuase it is not as good as Scissorhands is every way.

    Albert Finney gave a perfect performance as the older Edward Bloom, his performance was REMARKABLE. And to mention Jessica Lange and Ewan McGregor which gave honorable pwerformances, supported the movie well, quite convincing. Helena Bonham Carter is without any doubt, a true actress, she nailed all her roles in every movies she played well. But, only heaven knows whether she got her roles here because of her quality, or well, nepotism. I mean, first this Big Fish, and then Corpse Bride, and Sweeney Todd. But who cares, I'm sure she'll be as great as she is now without staying under Burton's shadow.

    Overall Big Fish is a fairy tale with a troop of great casts (means you don't have to worry about the actings development, they are all in the good hands). ANOTHER 'BIG' WORK OF ART FROM BURTON.

    I was thinking about death and all. About seeing how you're gonna die. I mean, on one hand, if dying was all you thought about, it could kind of screw you up. But it could kind of help you, couldn't it? Because you'd know that everything else you can survive.

    There is only one reason too see this film; Heath Ledger's brilliant performance as the Joker. Bale is a very poor Batman/Bruce Wayne, and Maggie Gyllenhaal is absurd. Now I know where the acting talent went in the Gyllenhaal family.
    Michel Caine, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman are good as usual, but Heath Ledger steals the show with his brilliant, unique take on a character that Nicholson put his stamp on so well back in '89.

    Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is brilliant, and definately worthy of an Oscar.

    Synopsis

    Summer, 1975: in a tight blue-collar Boston neighborhood, three kids are playing when one is abducted and sexually abused for several days. Jump ahead: the victim, Dave (Tim Robbins), is haunted by memories and protective of his own son. Jimmy's (Sean Penn) an ex-con, father of three.

The boyfriend's a suspect, and when ballistics turns up a link to a gun owned by the young man's father, the case breaks. In the background, wives move events along.

    My Review


    If there is any reason that made Mystic River didn't win the Oscar, maybe it was only because it was facing Jackson's giant The Return of The King. In my opinion, Mystic River is a very POWERFUL in every way, and may I say that, it is more than Crash (the 2006's winner). Again, a not-so-lucky coincidence for a good movie to win an Oscar it deserves.

    It owns my 5 stars, because I think, well, 'is there anything wrong about the movie?' HELL, NO! Perfectly directed and casted, each actors seem belong to the movie, including Eastwood, who made this movie a true high quality intense. I found that the guy is much better to be off from camera, and instead, works behind it, and he can create miracles. He didn't get the Oscar for this? Who cares?! He made it one year later with Million Dollar Baby, which I think, he deserves it more when he directed Mystic River.

    And pay attention the guys who really made this movie works. Sean Penn and Tim Robbins. I've putted my eye on Penn since I am Sam, which some think that it's not a really great movie (and which I don't agree with), but still, Penn gave a miraculous performance in I am Sam. Then, he played the exact diffrent role here, he created a heavenly choir in the viewers' hearts. He shouted, he screams, he cried, and we saw a man who was really ready to receive his Oscar. And to mention the honorable Tim Robbins, which created intense in his character Dave. Bacon did a good job and he fits for the role, but I can see anybody else in those suits which can played the role Sean Devine as good as him. But the SCENE-STEALER here is Marcia Gay Harden. She presented her role with her totality of acting. Remember her scene with Sean Penn? It's probably the most powerful moment in the movie. The dialogs are convincing and brilliantly smart. A perfect way to adapt a book into different kind of masterpiece.

    Overall Mystic River is an experience of watching 3 powerful characters in the same intrigue with different role, created a vibe of intense and curiosity for all viewers. MYSTIC RIVER IS A TRUTHFUL MASTERPIECE FROM EASTWOOD.

    The reality is we're still 11 year old boys locked in a cellar imagining what our lives would have been if we'd escaped.

    4.5 Stars by Gary
    While I wont go so far as to call this a masterpiece, this exceptional addition to the Batman franchise is a very good film and lives up to some very high expectations. The cast is uniformly great and the action is spectacular. A clever story is well told and the dark noir spirit of the source material is well maintained. Heath Ledger deserves special mention for his brilliant portrayal of The Joker and I loved the Two Face origin story. It perhaps feels about half an hour too long, but it's such a fun ride.
    My turn! I don't really need to recommend this do I?
    You guys are gonna see it anyway. Great fun!

    4.0 Stars by Mesh
    I'm not a bright reviewer, so i appreciate people dont bash me out when they see i gave it a 4 star, here's why :

    It's a very very brilliant movie, with excel acting, special effect and direction, it's just superb! but it's not a MASTERPIECE! there, i said it.

    The starting scene, bank scene was awesome, but after wards it kind of dragging, oops.. dragging, you sure? yeah, hell yeah!
    i think Nolan try to make it over the cloud and bit misleading.

    Batman Begins was a genius, a way better one, you wanna call Begins a masterpiece, you can, i allow you, but this one? give me a break!

    What make it over rated?
    - Heath ledger joker's performance. it draw many attention, admit it?
    i admit i saw this movie cause of Ledger's performance.

    - they polish new technique and gadgets, wow.. *yawn*

    - Dragging and strange end scene. call me retard, but this movie is dragging! and the end scene,
    'He must be chase, blah blah..' - Gordon (Gary oldman)
    Audience Thinking : ok ok see there Batman is running, what? that's it?
    oh ok, i must swallow it now, wow ok let me clap my hands! hmm.. *rolling eyes*

    Back to the awesome point, why?
    - Obvious, Joker's performance. i LOVE him. Heath ledger was a truly GREAT actor. R.I.P... :)

    - New direction techniques, there are many fast, slick and cool scenes.

    Direction; Average.
    - What the hell is Nolan planning to do, chinese mob?
    ok.. so Bruce flew off to Hongkong and it only being picturized, what? 5 minutes?
    damn!!
    I still stick to Begins!

    Performance:
    Heath as i mention earlier was awesome, no words to describe!

    Christian bale, oh.. hmm..
    he is alright, the whole movie focus more on Joker, poor Batman i dont know, whether he is there or not. he just keep coming and going.. *click tongue*
    i like you better in Begins, again!

    Aaron eckhart, WOW!
    this is a great actor! the way he portray Two face, was mesmerizing, cool job dude!

    Maggie gyleenhall, i always like her, so i think she did great here too. sorry Holmes fans!

    Caine, Freeman, Oldman, etc cope up the whole movie.

    If this movie don't reach this much hype or status symbol, i would love to devote my life for this one. but cause of media hype and idots in IMDB, voting this the 1st movie, please.. sorry!

    I hope i dont arouse some hatred, im entitled of my opinion, right? :)
    Check my spelling, grammar, etc i dont care, but hey i'm honest. I'm not a fan boy of Batman series, i love Batman trilogy but this movie looks more like a 'MASSACRE SOLVING CASE' rather then the Batman in 89, i remembered.
    Batman is a COMIC series, why portray it like some MEGA SAGA movie?
    any one?
    Make Gotham city looks comical, make everything comical, damn it!

    Last, was i the only one who imagine Gotham city was dull, i mean when i watch the movie before, i just can't kept wondering how much i miss Burton's creation. :(

    and second, Batman's voice.
    ok, i watched Begins last year, and never have the chance to see it again, but does Batman talks like that whenever he use his suit?
    is it a some kinda of 'you cant trace my voice' thing??
    *blink blink*

    Men, is this comment long or what? thank you for not hating me, the one who hate i dont care.

    So open your eyes, don't drool cause of some hype happening thing.
    A nice summer movie.

    8/10.
    Batman Begins was way better then this!
    whats wrong with you guys?? :P

    After returning from a wedding reception, a couple staying in an isolated vacation house receive a knock on the door in the mid-hours of the night.

    Watch The Strangers film. A film ?The Strangers 2008)? by Bryan Bertino. I was lucky enough to catch an early screening of this over the weekend, and all I can say is WOW. he whole audience was screaming at parts and there are several scenes that make you jump. I will not tell you everything about this movie, because I do not want to spoil anything for you. I will tell you this, though. Halloween (1978) and The Shining (1980) were probably labeled the best horror films ever to be made. The Strangers might even beat them out. This is the kind of movie you shouldn?t watch at home alone in the dark.

    Wesley: This is not me... this is just a motherfucking decoy.

    This is definitely one of the most entertaining films to have come out this year. And by "entertain", I mean mindless, campy, fun and reeks of awesomeness. "Wanted" maybe filled with plot holes as big as Jupiter but at least they made it up in the area of visual style served with a side platter of sizzling action. There's a lot of cussing too. And they got Morgan Freeman to say the word "Motherfucker", how cool is that? Initially, I would have given this a four but hearing Morgan Freeman cuss is just priceless.

    The car chase scenes would make Speed Racer proud, the bullets have minds of their own and lead actor James McAvoy masterfully disguises his British accent to embody the perfect American loser turned bad ass. This is what makes this film so damn irresistible. Top to that you have natural born fly guy Thomas Kretschmann in a very crucial role to the film plus Angelina Jolie in her bad ass form. Seriously, she was born to be a bad ass in films. That's why I loved Mr. and Mrs. Smith, she has this natural spunk in her which makes her cool without even trying. I think its the look and those lips.

    Now I know a lot of people dissed the film because its a) a rip-off, b) the story doesn't make sense and c) it is pretty stupid. That's probably because you didn't leave your pseudo-intellectual mindset right at the doorstep. Films like these, you don't have to take seriously. And I quote The Joker on this one: "Why so serious?"

    Take it for what it is: a very entertaining film and I think you'll be alright. Now, don't just fucking sit there reading this bullshit and I highly fucking suggest you fucking go see this one. Like, right fucking now.

    4.5/5
