I checked on the internet, yeah that after-credits scene is confirmed. Shop Smart! Shop S-Mart!
Daniel Craig has been a brilliant James Bond but he's still 3rd on my list behind Sean Connery and Peirce Brosnan.
6/10
Silent Hill (DVD) – not too bad, although there’s nothing really here to separate it within the genre. It has some genuinely disturbing moments, but it’s never really that scary. Like most horror movies, the plot is thrown at you very early on with very little explanation of the minutia, so don’t expect to have all it cleared up by the end. Overall, it’s about an average horror flick for me, definitely not as unwatchable as some critics would lead you to believe, though.
5/10
Alexander (DVD) – long, sprawling film that is almost as ambitious as Alexander the Great. Instead of having the film focus on a certain event in his life, they try to cover the majority of his life, which was a poor idea in my opinion. I thought that it was for the most part disjointed, and far too talky and political for a film that was about one of the greatest conquerors of all time. As such, it’s very slow and often times boring. I thought Farrell was well cast as Alexander, and the rest of the supporting roles are fine. Oliver Stone is a talented filmmaker, but he would have been better served picking a more specific time period to focus on (perhaps the last 3 or so years of his life), instead of trying to very quickly tell a story that would need a series to adequately cover everything.
6/10
Training Day (DVD) – prime example of how a very strong performance can elevate a movie that is otherwise pretty mediocre. I didn’t really think the plot made much sense, especially the last 1/3 or so, but Denzel is outstanding as Alonzo Harris, a dirty NARC cop. I’ve always thought Hawke was a little underrated, too, so there’s plenty here for me to like. Denzel deserved the Academy Award, no doubt.
7/10
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (DVD) – a bit hard to follow early on, but it does a find a nice rhythm after a bit. Honestly, one of the best acted movies from top to bottom, everyone brought their A game. I think it’s one of those movies that would definitely be more enjoyable the 2nd time, as you’d be able to focus more on the smaller stuff, and less on staying entirely engaged in the story, which is almost a necessity in order to stay on top of what’s going on.
7.5/10
Godfather, Part II (DVD) – I think there’s a slight drop in quality from the original, but a strong film nonetheless. I found the two storylines to be great counters to one another; although I did find Vito’s to be more engaging overall. Masterful performances from Pacino, DeNiro, and Duvall.
7.5/10
Lincoln (Blu-ray) – probably a movie most everyone should watch at least once. I thought they did a great job making a film that’s both entertaining and educational, but it was a bit talky at times. I can appreciate the work they did here, but it’s not something I’m likely to watch again. Daniel Day Lewis is simply brilliant again, as are Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Fields in their respective roles.
