Johnny Mad Dog Interesting film, really good premise, but there is some disconnect when trying to draw it to the real life conflict. I'm not exactly sure why, but the images of the actual conflict in the credits grip me harder than the film itself. Maybe because the characters (especially the female protagonist) felt hollow, not real. I've always been really into reading about the various conflicts in Liberia (I know more than a few people from that country oddly enough), but this film was missing something. Where's a film critic when you need one? |

Actually watched Armageddon all the way through for the first time last night.
Laugh all you want but you're a ****ing liar if you say you didn't get misty at the end. Liv at her finest BTW.

The mistiness was overshadowed by how much of a turd the rest of the film is. Ben Affleck doing an outback impression on liv's stomach is one of the most vomit inducing dialogue scenes I've ever seen.

Did anybody watch Straight Outta Compton not at a cinema? Been trying to find it online.
Anyway, the last film I watched was this: It's about two orphans in WW2 Japan. Brilliant film. |

But those last 5 minutes worked for me. Even though they were stupid. It worked for me.
