Sci-fi movie called Cargo, in German, I think

It was rubbish.

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai

I loved the sh*t out of this movie. RZAs' soundtrack. The conversations between Ghost Dog and French Raymond. The mob boss spitting Flava Flav lyrics. The perfect screenplay. The cartoons that all the characters watch. I loved it. Definitely my favorite Jarmusch film and a wonderful pick me up after how disappointed I was with Dead Man. I'm going to buy this on dvd as soon as I can.

Lynch/10

thank you i thought i was the only one perceptive enough to notice dead man is a ****e movie

kinda joking but not really

ghost dog is ill, surprised jarmusch wrote that screenplay. Managed to feel authentically inner city without being trite

this was pretty good. Stacked cast, however every single piece of dialogue is either directly about poker or is some analogy for poker. Some glaring plot holes too. Warm film the way only matt damon circa 90's can deliver

I also liked how all the gangsters were old men wearing Cosby sweaters.

That's such a great movie! Not my favorite by Jarmusch, but definitely in my top five.

Initial thought about this is that it would probably take things I like and then overdo it to the point it left few moments to enjoy behind. Fortunately it wasnt so bad. It was very violent while still being rather small in many ways (such as location, and about 85% of the film taking place within the same building) and just the right amount of cheesy one-liners and plot twists.

Pretty good actually,

Statham is the most dangerous man alive and can kill twenty bad guys on a bus without breaking a sweat, and yet there is a fight scene among some storage containers, where the No. 1 bad guy pushes him over and just walks away. Statham's accent is always confusing to me. He is from Norfolk, but where he is supposed to be from in his films is a mystery. I suppose Transporter is not meant to be cinematic art and it is fast paced, or as the press prefer to say, 'high-octane'.

The Transporter movies are pretty sweet, and I love me some Jason Statham movies, but nothing can possibly live up to the Crank movies. Especially Crank 2. Best action movie ever made IMO.

I loved Crank but thought Crank 2 was pretty meh. A better spiritual sequel to Crank was Shoot 'Em Up imo.

Bitch, you crazy! Crank 2 was just so brilliantly over the top. It did everything the first one did, but did it bigger, better, and with more style. Shoot 'Em Up was definitely cool, and props for Paul Giamatti, but it was just too slick and special-effectsed-up to have the visceral quality that I need from my goofy action movies.

Les Misérables. I'm not a fan of musicals, really, but hey, this was a rather good movie, and damn if I didn't tear up a couple of times, especially with the end sequence. And Hugh Jackman is ridiculously hot!
