Good Night, and Good Luck

Saw this tonight, excellent.

 

Scary undertones of what's happening today in America, the word "patriot" seems to have a few meanings....

 

Question: Has George Clooney made a bad film?*

 

* discounting Batman & Robin, which really wasn't his fault.

Tremendous film. With that and Syriana, George Clooney has rocketed up in my estimation.

 

And bad Clooney films - try Ocean's Twelve.

Hmmm....my lass came up with that one, I'm torn. Parts I like (Vincent Cassel, Clooney, Damon), parts I loathed (Julia Roberts being Julia Roberts but NOT Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, the fact that half the movie is a lie). I dunno, guess I'll have to give that one. Also, he made some shockers in his early career.

 

Directorially he's made two very good films, big fan of Confessions of A Dangerous Mind.

 

Haven't seen Syriana, can't wait though, looks class and has Dr. Bashir in it!

intolerable cruelty is a s**** film too.

Disagree, love that film.

 

- Ocean's Eleven

- Ocean's Twelve

- Ocean's Thirteen (inevitably)

- Solaris

- Spy Kids

 

George Clooney is ace though. Anyone who does the bark of a gay dog on south park is cool in my book.

O12 and Spy Kids I'll give you, though his involvement in the latter is minimal and I bet to 11-12yr olds Spy Kids is great. I thought Solaris was a good remake, though poorly marketed. You can't have a film that hasn't been made yet though if it's more of 12 it will be utter s****.

Agree.

Rubbish that was.. Not a bit funny at all.

Just got back from seeing it and it is magnificent. Some great performances and Clooney has tackled some very big themes effortlessly.

Very good indeed. Well done George and it is far more aggressive than all his press interviews suggest.
