Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
so brilliant its Brazilian
I don't like action films, i don't like hack and slash but i love this.
For me every actor does a reasonable job and Alan Rickman is outstanding as the sheriff of Nottingham, the lack of a credible English accent is not a worry to me and the flexible use of locations is also not a problem. The story is great, the screenplay is wonderful with its lack of self-conciousness. All the elements of a great epic are there, love, hate, greed, honesty.
The anachronisms really add to the film, the action scenes are tremendous. And yes i like the arrow-cam.
Don't be cynical be nice, enjoy the ride.
Man on the Moon (1999)
Jim Carrey is fantastic the film, sadly, is not
Jim Carrey was incredible this and the Truman show prove that he is a good actor, sadly despite Carreys incredible performance and some wonderful moments the film is not all that it could have been. It may be because Andy Kauffman was a stranger to me before I saw this film but I think that alot of the Humour (Kauffmans sketches) have become dated, at the time what he did was new and controversial but now it has been copied perhaps more successfully. I would have liked to have seen more time on the man rather than the stage performer. 7/10
The Devil's Advocate (1997)
A mediocre film with an excellent ending
For the first hour I was disappointed the acting was poor and the film did not really seem to have direction, as the end of the film approached it sped up and al pacino sorted the acting side out. The final scenes were amazing, one of the best finishes ive seen and when he walks out onto the empty street you are given one of the best film moments ever.
