If your calling those movies masterpieces then I guess I've been sleeping. I'll put them on my to watch list. But everything after Heat was overrated to trash imo.
That's why I said you gotta check his older stuff and Thief is just :wow:James Caan :wow:

Didn't know that, Heat looks nothing like it :manny:



Sometime it feels like the camera shaking, i hate that shyt :camby:

He's always used digital in its highest resolution so once HD finally caught up in the early 2000s, it looked how he always wanted it to look. So in effect, he's using the same camera in Heat but the tech wasn't there yet

Its like Tarantino said. Some directors "lose it" before they even knew they lost it. :lupe:

It happens :manny:

Public Enemies should have been better though.

Public Enemies should've been incredible. As a fan of gangster flicks and crime flicks in general, shyt kinda hurt my soul because I was bored to death. All star cast, great director, good story..just didn't come together. Even had Channing Tatum in it

I actually thought the Tatum scene was dope. It wasnt historically accurate, but I thought ok this about to be some :krs: shyt.

The movie just needed some life to it. Bale's "Is that Dillinger?" and how he said it was almost The Dark Knight/Batman bad though.

Yeah really it seems like Johnny Depp is the only one in the movie who realized they could have some fun. Everyone else was just dour as hell

Public Enemies was so flat to me. Its in my blu ray collection because I like the history behind it, but its more style over substance. The Warren Oates' Dillinger movie is 10 times better than Public Enemies in telling Dillinger's tale.
I fukking HATE public enemies. One of my least favorite movie going experiences to date. The digital film looked fukking AWFUL, it looked like a soap opera at the theater I went to. Movie was boring as all fukk, I could care less about the characters. just :gag:

Collateral is one of my favorite movies though

I haven't seen blackhat, but casting Thor as a computer hacker is beyond fukking retarded. From that point on, I couldn't take the movie seriously. This guy who looks like a fukkin super model is a computer hacker who has like a 40 year prison sentence? :camby: and he's kicking the fukk out of people and in peak physical shape :camby:
