So I watched Sleuth (1972) last night.

Laurence Olivier gave the best performance I've ever witnessed from any actor - and Michael Caine surely deserves a special mention as well.
And a great movie as a whole too! - except the ending, which was supposed to be amazing. On the contrary it annoyed the shit out of me.

Lion:
Donnie Darko is made by Richard Kelly. You're not supposed to understand it. Anyway, it's an average movie at best, so if I were you, I'd try and forget about it instead of wasting energy and braincells on trying to get something ungettable.

I never understood Donnie Darko either. Fuck that shit.

Watched The Fighter a few days ago, my first trip to the cinema this year. :stress: But at least the movie was great. Christian Bale just fucking owns.

The Fighter was brilliant...

The Fighter was brilliant...

I am in the minority for this film. I thought it was ok and the only reason it was ok was because of Christian Bale. I don't think any movie can be considered "brilliant" if it has Mark Wahlberg as the lead actor

Just my opinion though...

Sounds like how i feel about Matt Damon.

I watched The Black Swan this week. Natalie Portman is incredibly good in it. She fully deserves an Oscar for her role.

Great I'm glad I'm not the only one.

 

[Alex de Large]

I don't think there is a btter movie than Black Swan this year, i liked Buried but its not better.

Haha but Mark Wahlberg couldn't shine Damon's shoes. Matt Damon has put in several excellent performances!

 

[Jacquez]

not that it qualifies for "several", but I would like to note that Wahlberg was excellent in Boogie Nights, The Departed and The Happening.

Minus one.

In my opinion:

- Boogie Nights was great because of the brilliant director.
- The Happening was a disgrace of a film to most, I found it just OK, not too bad but not too good.
- Departed was great because of the supporting cast and brilliant director, not because of Wahlberg. (Although this is best performance that I can remember.)

He is far from the worst actor, but he just annoys me for some reason lol


Family Guy got it perfect:

Anyways...in Raging Bull I care about Jake LaMotta, in Cinderella Man I care about Jim Braddock...in The Fighter I don't really care about Micky Ward. Now that could be the director's or writer's fault, so 100% of the blame cannot be placed on Wahlberg.

 

[Coutinho10]

can anyone help me please tell me from which film is this music or the artist ???

I'm just claiming that a film CAN be great if it has Wahlberg as a lead..

..but then again, I could only mention one great film where he was playing the protagonist.

Speaking of The Happening, I only saw it just recently, and I understand why people hate it. I geniunely dislike that movie. The overall quality of the film (including: script, acting, plot) was just bad. The dialog seemed forced, and the bad acting from especially, but certainly NOT exclusively, Zoey Deschanel didn't exactly help.

And the twist. How can the same man who came up with one of the most shocking and brilliant twists in film history think that the twist in "The Happening" was even CLOSE to being simply average? First of all, to make the impact of a twist as huge as possible, it has to be revealed in a single line or action. It has to be revealed FAST. Instead, in The Happening, we hear something about freaking PLANTS all the time, while the supposedly terroristattack, which everybody is convinced is what causes these mass suicides, only plays a small part.

In the sixth sense, there are given small, almost unnoticable clues throughout the movie, but in The Happening we don't even understand the PLOT before the so called twist is revealed.

It's a horrible excuse for a movie, probably one of the worst I've seen in 2010 let alone 2011.

Sounds like how i feel about Matt Damon.

- Bourne Ultimatum
- Departed (Well, not really the absolute leading character but close enough)

 

[Azzkikr]

The Bourne movies kinda sucks and mainly because of Damon. They could have been decent movies if they had a proper actor instead. His voice, his looks and his acting is just way off for such a role as he has on those movies. He is not the badass assassin/agent/whatever type at all, not credible at all. The fact that he both looks and sounds ridiculously boring doesnt help his case either.

I also hate him in those 'ocean' movies, completely meaningless role, but those movies sucks badly all together. Some of the worst hollywood bullshit ever made tbh.

I dont like him in the The departed either, but that movie is only half decent because of Leo and nicholson anyways. Internal Affairs/Mou gaan dou, the movie that The Departed is a remake of, is a MUCH better movie and anyone who thinks The Departed is good should go watch it.

Green Zone and Good will hunting are the only two half decent movies i can take Damon serious in.

Green Zone was excellent :thumbsup:


You left out some solid films that he starred in. Have you seen:

Hereafter
The Informant!
The Talented Mr. Ripley
Syriana
All The Pretty Horses

??

 

[Azzkikr]

lol Syriana totally forgot about that one, now there is a mundane movie if there ever was one, but with Clooney AND Damon in the same movie it always the going to be boring. The good Shepherd is even worse, even though im a big De Niro fan i couldnt stay awake for that one.

Good Shepherd was awful, but I enjoyed Syriana...
