“Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” Plot Summary
Four London working class stiffs pool their money to put one in a high stakes card game, but things go wrong and they end up owing half a million pounds and having one week to come up with the cash.
entertaining
For $8 million, this is a fricking monument of 1990’s film. The first time I saw it I laughed at most of the jokes and followed the plot with pleasure. That’s more than I can say about any number of movies in the 1990’s that cost ten times as much to make and starred pricey talent. The editing is clever and cute. The casting is just short of flawless. Of the four principles, only Bacon seemed consistent to me. The minor parts were sometimes spectacular, esp. Big & Little Chris and Barry the Baptist
There are some legitimate complaints about this movie. The big one is that it doesn’t really go anywhere or mean anything. It seems like an awful lot of flash and talent to end up saying nothing about anything. But um it’s not like Lock, Stock is trying to be anything it isn’t, so maybe it’s not a valid critique after all. Considering how long Tarrantino’s influence has been around, it’s a little unfair to call Ritchie on imitating him. There are some similarities large casts, distinct characters, clever dialogue, rapid shifts in narratives from one string to another and shifting in time, and few other things. I think the problem is that years of dumbing down by Hollywood have almost eliminated all these things. The influence is there certainly, but it would not seem as pronounced if there were any other hugely exposed filmmakers in recent memory that put as much emphasis on dialogue and character besides Tarantino
I haven’t watched MTV since the mid-1980’s, so the style of Lock Stock and Snatch didn’t seem trite to me. Some people I talked to said that the film style was too much like the average car commercial or pop video, which is getting the influence backwards, but I could see how those associations would spoil the experience.

“Hulk” Movie Review
“Hulk” Plot Summary
Bruce Banner, a genetics researcher with a tragic past, suffers an accident that causes him to transform into a raging green monster when he gets angry.
A great movie
This is, to date, my favorite superhero movie. I can but wonder why so many people think it is so bad
First, since it’s a superhero movie, there’s the action scenes. There’s not too many of them, and what there is, is quite good
I recall there being some criticism about the Hulk’s 3D model and how it is not detailed enough. While I kinda agree that it could be better, I do not think it is too distracting
Now, on to the story and characters. And here is the strongest part of the movie. The interaction of Hulk and Betty Ross is something that touches me on a personal level. And in general the characters are mainly well developed and have interesting enough interaction. The story progresses at a nice pace, not being too fast or too slow. It’s definitely a ’smarter’ and even more emotional than, say, the Spider-Man movies
I can’t think of too much else to say, since to me so much of what is good about this movie I can’t really find the words for, and in the end it’s the overall feeling that counts. I’ll end this by saying that while the new ‘The Incredible Hulk’ was a decent movie on its own right, in my books it doesn’t hold a candle to this movie.

“Once Upon a Time in America” Movie Review
“Once Upon a Time in America” Plot Summary
A former Prohibition-era Jewish gangster returns to Brooklyn over 30 years later, where he once again must confront the ghosts and regrets of his old life.
Excellent!
This movie is such a breath taker! It is not too long! Not if you get into it! If you are bored of the movie then yes, it will seem long. But this is the kind of movie that you have to get in to and pay attention to, to like. And all though the first maybe, thirty minutes aren’t as stimulating, the rest of the movie makes up for it. The beginning is kind of boring due to the fact that you have no idea what’s going on
The movie’s cast was chosen perfectly. The story has no flaws
There is not one detail that went unanswered. The music in the movie is so beautiful, it will haunt you! The rest of the day you’ll be singing it’s score! If you’re a soundtrack freak like me, then listen to the music for this movie! If you are looking for a movie that has its ups and downs, highs and lows, then see ‘Once Upon a Time in America’!
