The problem with Guy Pearce is that you never know whether the film is going to be absolutely awesome (Memento for instance) or an absolute steaming pile of gangrenous, maggot ridden, shit... (errr, lots of his other stuff)

Noomi Rapace (original G.W.D.T. trilogy), Guy Pearce (Memento, LA Confidential), Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba (the Wire), Logan Marshall-Green.

Really excited about Noomi, Guy and Charlize being in it.

Never mind...

Hello! Just back this minute from seeing the film. I have a few comments to make which may involve SPOILERS.

Hmmm.

The short review is - what a load of disappointing and quite frankly tedious crap.

Oh Nolan why are you getting worse with each film? Who honestly thinks LDC is an actor with enough charisma to hold a film like this? He really wasn't enough for this role. Why the fuck does Nolan insist on having that thuddingly monotonous soundtrack pounding over virtually every single scene of dialogue? Why not give the actors some space instead of making it feel rushed and forcing them into layering soundbites for only the sake of exposition? Why not make this about the performances rather than worship the god of pacing? (it certainly didn't feel like 148 minutes I'll give him that).

Sorry, that girl he hires? Where was that maze she designed? Oh fuck that, we want a shortcut now. And why is Leo's dad (Michael Caine again for some reason) offering up students to do dodgy work? And what was she studying? Extraction 101? What world is this that dreams can be hacked in this way? This is never explained. Should we expect to see the flying cars out the window? Has cancer been eradicated in this world? How many other people are doing this shit?

And Leo with a bad case of dead wife syndrome (DWS). You know if you want to keep pulling that trick you might want to make it better than it was in Memento. Which is hard to do. Mainly because Guy Pearce is a better actor who makes you feel something about his character. Sympathy, disgust, shock, whatever. Something. LDC is like balsa wood in comparison.

But maybe I'm being too hard on Leo. Maybe the problem is with the script. I was surprised to find I had no problems following what was supposed to be a twisty, layered plot. I didn't see multiple plots criss-crossing and tying my mind up in knots - you want that? Try a James Ellroy novel. I still find Memento a mind-bending watch. The dream within a dream scenario is as hard to imagine as a box within another box. And here that's all that Nolan is concerned about. He loves the techie aspects of this. How does box C behave in box B. Oh B is jiggling about so C is getting all shook up. And do we get to care much about the inception itself? Nope. I thought this was a big missed opportunity to play the complex mind-games required to crack the subject. But in between explosions there wasn't much time for that.

Nolan has become a slightly more sophisticated version of the recent fanboy directors. But he's still thoroughly crass and obvious and doesn't have the talent to explore the spaces between what initially seem like promising ideas. But dreams? Hell, I enjoyed the more straightforward japes of Dreamcape and that was a long time ago.

But I am surprised that so many love this - I'd ask that you think about the characters. State what was memorable about them and what made them interesting. What did this film actually say that was of substance? Strip away the artifice and what are you actually left with?

I saw Total Recall, again, a few days ago. It was better than this.

Ooh, this is a wicked book, and it looks like a faithful adaptation. With a Nick Cave soundtrack, and with Guy Pearce!

Can't wait.

If the Dems were smart, they'd run that ad in every state with a Republican incumbent up for reelection this year.

In most of the cases, all they'd have to do is change the picture of the politician in question.

Lord knows Pearce and Wilson are exactly the same as this Ileana wench.

If you liked this clip, you might want to take a look at this very good movie:


Memento (2000)

'Memento chronicles two separate stories of Leonard (Guy Pearce), a ex-insurance investigator who can no longer build new memories, as he attempts to find the murderer of his wife, which is the last thing he remembers. One story line movies forward in time while the other tells the story backwards revealing more each time.'

Memento is a neo-noir–psychological thriller film written and directed by Christopher Nolan (who went on to direct Insomnia and Batman Begins), based on his brother Jonathan's short story "Memento Mori."

The film stars Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, a former insurance fraud investigator hunting for his wife's murderer. During the attack on his wife, Leonard suffered severe head trauma and lost the ability to make new memories. To cope with his condition, he keeps a collection of notes, photographs, and tattoos to remind himself of people, places, and events he cannot remember.

He is aided in his investigation by "Teddy" (Joe Pantoliano) and Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss), neither of whom Leonard is sure he can trust.

Good pick Michie.

this program is stupid and not very informing/
if you read up about it all it is is musculer controle with nothing exstrodinary hapaning. the movements before hand likly alow more oxigenated blode into aireas of the body alowing for extra strength to be achived. as for the stabing with trident that folows the same prinicapals as the bed of nails by having the stumch mucels acomidate the shape of the trident it is posable to distrabute the force and balence on it without it pearcing the skin. the spears into the neck move is achived due to the thought having quite reseleant cartalage and then though movment distrabuting the force into the bambo cain that suports the spear.

all these things do require skill to ahive to the level these people are doing it but its nothing amazing and i think its a shame that alot of people are deluded in thinking that higher forces are at work

Just like the US, they show the full version a couple of times and then just outtakes on subsequent versions. Slice of life? But then you probably don't know that the team manager is Sir Bobby Robson and the team was Bobby and Jackie Charlton (brothers), Peter Reid - ex Man city, Peter Beardsley, Brian Robson, Stuart "Psycho" Pearce, Peter Shilton, Des Walker, Chris Waddle, Alan Ball and Terry Butcher. Meaningless to most yanks, but household names in the UK from the last 40 years.
