7.5/10

Parts of this movie work perfectly, and parts don't work that well at all.

Really fun.

I appreciated a lot of things about it as well, but it's a little chaotic and goes to too many places to be as good as it should be.

If anything, it's good that at least Oliver Stone tried to deconstruct american football while showing appreciation for it at the same time.

Agreed, I feel like Stone was trying to be Goddard, but he's not.

Problem is also doing some of the stuff he did with unqualified people.

Sure, you want to criticize private ownership of the teams ? Awesome, we're all for it.

But hire someone who can ACT THE GODDAMN ROLE, sorry Cameron Diaz, you're just not good enough.

Fair enough. Diaz was too reminiscent of the chick from Major League

Cameron Diaz is up there with John Wayne for me, on the great List Of Performers That Smutty Can't Stand To Watch

I thought she was awesome in Being John Malkovich. But then..... nothing.

Pretty good, but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Also, Timothy Olyphant should totally play Jesse Custer.

I fucking love that guy.
Hitman, A Perfect Getaway, The Crazies, Live Free or Die Hard
Even those sucky movies are suddenly made, at least, watchable because of Tim.

I haven't got around to seeing Justified yet, but no doubt I'd love it too.

He played Seth Bullock in "Deadwood", it's obviously not as glamorous a role, but like in "Justified", he has enough talent to play frontier men.

Seriously though, doesn't he have that perfect blend of sarcasm and charm that could make Jesse Custer come alive?

This is an opinionated response, so I shall counter with one of my on.....via flashy youtube clip.

I cited Live Free or Die Hard as a movie he was in, but I don't think its sucky.
I should've been clearer.
But I love that flick. Its friggin awesome.

Timothy Olyphant is actually the owner of the world's greatest "cheeky poofta" grin.
His smile has the power to make men shit their pants and women orgasm on sight.

Tim is a fun actor, I like must of his stuff too. I was surprised when I discovered he was the voice of the Clint Eastwood-esque spirit of the west in Rango.

Anyway, just saw The King's Speech, I enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting, I didn't realise it was going to be as funny or heartwarming.

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night - 6.5/10

A harmless actioner which is capable of only just keeping your attention.
It has a handful of clever moments and cool scenes, however you have to wade through a muddied plot, some bland acting, painfully standard action scenes and a smudge of hammy dialog.
Having said that, its fun to watch Sam Huntington. He steals the show, leaving a rather 2-dimensional Brandon Routh in the dust. Routh's performance may leave much to be desired, but he fills the shoes of witty action hero quite nicely. At least asthetically if anything.

Its just a simple flick, better than most SyFy movie-of-the-week garbage.
Keep that in mind when you find yourself about to watch "Mongolian Death Worms".
If your expectations are low enough and you've nothing better to do, you might find yourself mildly entertained. Mildly.
