The Bank Job
by KhrisAn interesting piece of film-making... which is pretty entertaining. Once you get past the sleazy and shameless sex, you would realise that it actually made some sense as to the WHY. Based on a true story of sorts, its an interesting take on the Baker Street Bank Robbery which caused a sensation and had Parliment and MI5 going nuts.
Jason Statham goes back home and back in time to 1971 as a small time criminal who tried to hit the big time by robbing Lloyd's Bank and hits big trouble in the form of government scandals, corruption and just about everyone from the MI5 to a local porn king/gangster AND a psychotic Rasta drug dealer out to nail him and his crew.
I guess the great thing about this movie was the authenticity. 1971 London does come alive, and its not something we see often in movies these days, seeing a world city in a different time, not so far back as to call it ancient history, but more so enough to appreciate what its like and how everything has changed radically, from cars to technology to clothing and styles and lifestyle.
You have to appreciate the story and the tension which the crew go through. This is one of Statham's better movies, and the rest of the cast are..... British. XD
Yeah its the same ole thing for all you guys who don't understand a world of the British language. If you could get past the language or are familiar with it (like me) then you can follow the movie quite easily. Which is something else which I liked about it. Its not meant to be an all out twister, a movie trying to out do itself and others of higher grade, but a simple reworking of an event brought to the big screen with a few thrills along the way. In the tradition of movies such as The Italian Job, The Score and other tales of thieves, this would have to be on of the better flicks to watch.Hey, you should really see this!

Batman Gotham Knight
by DaveOkay, so i just watched, and re-watched the new Gotham Knight animated
movie / collection and here are my thoughts on the shorts.
1.Have I got a story for you So the premise of this short is a group of
kids get together and tell stories of what they think "the Batman" is.
Does this plot sound familiar? It should, it was the very same plot
from an episode of the animated series, except without the frank miller
shout out. Because of this, I already felt like I've seen it, which made
it kinda boring. The animation in this short is a little oddball. The
backgrounds are amazing and realistic while the characters themselves
look cartoon-y and sometimes unfinished. That's a style they where going
for I'm sure, but it just felt odd to me. Overall, this definitely was
not one of the best shorts, but also not the worse.
2. crossfire The story on this short focuses on two of Gorden's
detectives, one of them very unhappy with a vigilante doing crime
fighting in Gotham (batman). There really isn't much to the plot except
for detective Alan complaining about batman pretty much the entire
time. At the end of the short, Alan and his partner get in between a
crime war and batman comes and saves their lives. That's it. It wasn't
anything special, but worth watching for the animation. So, the
animation in this short is pretty good, and the best part is the last
minute when batman shows up. This is the very best animation of batman
in the entire collection, sadly, hes only around for over a minute.
such a waste, awesome while it lasts though. Because of the end, I felt
this was one of the better shorts.
3. Field test Wow, This was probably one of the worst representations
of batman since the campy old TV show. Congratulations to the animators
on this one, I've never wanted to gouge my eyes out so badly before in
my life. The story revolves around a new gadget luscious fox invents to
repel bullets away from batman. Batman tries it out, bullets repel, and
some guy almost dies from one of the repelled bullets. The story isn't
that bad, nothing major, but its there. Its the animation that makes
this short so god damn terrible. You wont know that you're looking at
bruce wayne until he speaks. Why? because Bruce Wayne looks like a
skinny, shaggy haired, Japanese teenager I kid you not. Watching this
generic anime character that anyone at a local high school could draw
use bruce waynes voice disgusted me. I constantly begged for him to
dress up as batman so I could stop watching the monstrosity.
Unfortunately, the animation of batman was even worse. Pretty much
envision Femto from Berserk with pointy ears and you have this shorts
batman. Disgusting. This was easily the worst in all of the shorts and
I wish it never made it past a storyboard.
4. In darkness dwells This short was about batman hunting down a new
urban myth cannibal. The cannibals nickname is "Killer Kroc". Yeah, any
batman fan knows this guy. The story doesn't get too involved in this
one, but I did enjoy it. The animation had great realistic backgrounds,
but the character animation was a little inconsistent at times.
Sometimes the characters look really good and grity, other shots show
them at really awkward angles and they just come of as deformed. It
definitely doesn't ruin this short, but it does catch your attention
more than it should. Overall, i liked this one though.
5. Working through pain This short arguably might have the best story
of the bunch, mostly because its the only one that really shows some
character development in Bruce Wayne. The story focuses on how Bruce
Wayne was trained to ignore physical pain. I really like the story of
this one, and the ending is actually kind of sad. The animation, not as
good. As batman, he looks pretty decent. You definitely know its
batman, unlike in "Field Test". Its the Bruce Wayne animation that's the
weak point of this short. While not half as bad as "Field Test", his
character is breaching on generic anime guy. He doesn't look like Bruce
Wayne, but he doesn't look like a skinny Asian kid either. The story is
what really sells this one, and its definitely worth watching.
6. Deadshot If only one short makes you buy this collection, this will
be it. This was by far the best short of them all. The story is pretty
simple. A very talented sniper is contracted to take out Gotham s
finest, and eventually batman himself. Its all about villain vs batman
here, and its really good. Out of all the shorts, this was the only one
that actually felt like it could be a storyline in the animated series
(besides "Have I got a story for you" which WAS an actual storyline in
TaS). This was the only short in both story and animation that really
made me feel i was watching a batman episode. I loved this, and watched
it several times over. This is not one to skip batfolks, this is
batman.
So overall, Id say there was two good ones ( Working through pain and
Deadshot), two okay ones (Crossfire and In darkness dwells), one dud
(have i got a story for you), and one abomination (Field test).Hey, you should really see this!

Rise of the Footsoldier
by KhrisYeaaahhhh. A good ole brutal, bloody, shameless (on all levels) Brit gangster movie.
Which also happens to be the a real good authentic biography of one of Englands most brutal and toughest criminals, Carlton Leach. Hell YEAH!
This follows the the beginning of Leach's criminal career, starting as a football hooligan with the Inter City Firm (West Ham FC... Green Street anyone?) to Carlton running his own firm in the 80's as protection and enforcement, and the early 90's events leading to the infamous Rettendon Murders in 1995, the victims being some of Leach's associates.
There is some real gangster history in this, and t does make Green Street Hooligans and others such as Goodfellas look kinda tame when it comes to violence. Its good ole fashioned english brutality at its best, from bats and bricks and guns and fists.
You would probably need subtitles if you have trouble deciphering the Brit speak. And of course, get ready to meet some of the most colorful, as well as craziest thugs ever seen in the movies. Which happened to be based on real people.
I still couldnt believe how the characters [protrayed in this flick represented real people... the movie was based on Carlton Leach's bio.
Its got some real graphic scenes... especially when the guns go off on the Rettendon murder scenes.
O__O! (im serious, its brutal as - you actual see some good rendition of faces in the aftermath of meeting a 12 guage at point blank.)
There is some lessons to be learned here. Carlton's narrative isstraightforward and to the point. The scenes are good and explicit though, and of course, since based on true events, its got some actual news clips and such in the movie.
Anyways, if you love the gangster, the blood, the guts and the swearing and the sex, yeah you in for a good night.Blood, guts, sex and swearing.
Yah, I know theres a few horny guys or people who love the blood, so watch it!

21
by KhrisYeah!! I love gambling. I love cards.
I love knowing how to rort the system. XD!!
(hey whats ive been learning for the last six years...)
Anyways, whats not to like about this movie? Smart, edgy, cool and the action is in Vegas. That automatically gives it 3 stars. XD!!
What gives it the extra star?? Well, a good cast with some admirable names like Spacey and Fishburne. A good story with a nice twist in the works.
Well... unless you like movies like the Ocean's series, you wont like this. Those with a high morale who avoid the great, addictive and absolutely fun VICE of gambling would love it.
Honestly, its not that hard to count cards. The system in the movie is tough because its a freelance system, which is supposed to reduce the risks of getting caught. But hey, go online and play some blackjack, learn how to count and see for yourself, it really does work!
(and who says movies don't teach us anything???? ;-))I love to gamble with cards. You all should do so, it heaps fun!

Vantage Point
by KhrisA unique movie, though the rewinds and the different views can get annoying when you have to revisit the events after the third time...
But then again, its how the movie works. Call it fate, and the fate of everyone involved as they come together and how you unravel the clues hidden in the 5 points of view to piece together whats going on... but it really doesnt begin to be conclusive until you get to the 4th Vantage Point.
Anyways, what I liked about this movie:
1. Scenery. Spain rocks. I wanna go someday... looks great even though I just saw a small part of the city, the sky is great and love the atmosphere, Gotta love Spain in the movies.
2. The stars. Yep, it was a great cast with some of my personal favourites, the top pick obviously Dennis Quaid, one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. He's been in the game for years, and hasn't really gotten the success he deserves. He won't get it in this movie, but I think its about time the big shots started giving him more kudos. If you really wanna see him at his best, watch SAVIOUR.
3. The car chase. Yep, the set piece for this flick was the cool car chase. Nothing outrageous or over the top, but a nice, near realistic car chase, similar to the ones in the Bourne series or perhaps Ronin... the car chase is great one.
Anyways, for something different in movie style, but a good thrill ride, not great, but good, this is okay.This movie has a great car chase. That means its worth watching right??

Drillbit Taylor
by KhrisYeah, its good to see Owen Wilson back on the screen after his problems. And though this isnt his best movie, I like his charm and style which comes through for him.
This is an odd movie... he plays an Army deserter/bum hired to protect three kids from the "very" psychotic bully (emphasis on psychotic!! Man, its America!) and of course as the fat kid said, "Your name is Drillbit cause you screw people!"
XD!
Anyways, its a good one off laugh, nothing special really, but funny enough, though it does put bullying bakc in perspective, mentioning the many Youtube videos on school fights, samurai swords etc etc....
kinda inflated and ridiculous at times, but meh, watch it once and laugh your head off.
Loved the music soundtrack in it, and the fat kid reminds me of a young Jonah Hill (fat guy from Superbad) XD!!Watch this or not... I don't really care.
