SNATCH (2000). Awesome Guy Ritchie ensemble piece dealing with diamonds, unlicensed boxing,a brutal Crime boss and a dog that frankly dominates every scene he is in. Really good cast with Jason Statham, Dennis Farina, Lennie James (THE WALKING DEAD), Benicio Del Toro, former Football player Vinnie Jones (great as a vicious Gunman who becomes surprisingly squeamish at the damndest time) and even Brad Pitt is good in here,despite the fact that his accent makes him all but impossible to understand-Hint: Use your subtitles. *****

THE MEG (2018). >>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >
After reading a review of this, JUST had to check it out as it sounded like pure hokum. And hokum it is, but really not as bad as I was thinking and actually more engaging than I thought it would it be without being as. condescending as most current movies tend to be. Jason Statham goes Mano a Mano with a 75 foot Great White Shark after a bad experience some years back. Decent CGI and really no character annoyed me ( the uber Yuppie comes close) and even the kid is tolerable. A LOT of lifting from JAWS towards the end: A dog named "Pippin", an truly annoying kid whining about going out on his raft and a beach panic. Not great, but worth a look or two. *** |
