Shoot 'em Up

Re: Shoot 'em Up

 

I'm in the minority. I'd like to see it for the chance to see Paul Giamatti as an action star.

 

I was all about that myself, but I found PG a little disappointing in this. Can't decide if he was too over the top or not over the top enough.

 

Clive Owen is sort of a wonderful straight-man, though. Never winks at the camera... he manages to approach this over the top beast of a film like it's some film noir. Very enjoyable.

I like the manga more -- it seems less... ditzy.

 

Fair enough I like some pretty light hearted stuff. Black Lagoon is about as "dark" as I get and some of the stuff in it got really close or slightly over my limit (The Vampire Twins...:eek:). Not that it wasn't a great series.

Next year? (2008)

 

Not too far out then. I hate waiting for episodes. I usually wait until all the DVDs are out before watching the series. It looks really good (ep 1 and trailers) so I am looking forward to it. Plus I have yet to hear anything on the boards (here and elsewhere) bad. All great or at worst OK.

loopiest, most over the top gun-fu I've seen since Grenadier.

 

Grenadier is essentially Equilibrium + anime + boobies. ^_^

 

Okay, that description just shot this title to the top of my "Videos To Get" list with a bullet! (no pun intended -- but it was pretty good, right?) Sorry, I was just casing (*snirk*) the joint...
