Boring take, Carlito's Way is good but overrated, it's got nothing on Scarface. A character being more understated doesn't make them more complex. Tony's incestuous and violent overprotection of his sister to the point of murder and self-destruction is far more compelling than Carlito's sappy, tragic romance with glass-of-skim-milk Penelope Ann Miller.

I'm fairly certain that Pacino's performance in Scarface left an indelible mark after watching those two VHS tapes the first time. Carlito's Way hasn't gotten a second thought since home video release.

fascinating stuff

The Rock/Emily Blunt is the least appealing romantic pairing since Tom Cruise/Emily Blunt and I do not blame Emily Blunt for either one

Hey, Edge of Tomorrow is a very entertaining movie, so it wasn't that bad.

yes but he's correct that the chemistry is poor

[tommy]

It's not great, but it's not Rock-level bad

[Farmer John]

Part of the problem is that while The Rock and Tom Cruise are both charming and charismatic, they are NOT sexy.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Think they just told Rock "you play yourself, but you have a brief addiction to painkillers"?

Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler, anyone?

I still believe in Ridley. Covenant was really good (don't @ me), just marketed poorly. He can bounce back.

But at this stage it looks like he'll be producing, so maybe Fede still retains the big chair.

this looks weird



not good

but zane's impression is pretty good

Wow he looks just like him.

Weird choice for the script i guess. She directed an episode of Industry, which was ok, but not sure about her writing this one.

I do feel is cool she is doing something different for once.

What an uninteresting topic for a movie
