I'm not expecting much, and doubt it will win him any oscars. I feel like the past few things I've seen him in I wasn't terribly blown away. He's not super memorable as an actor, tbh. Which is a shame because I loved Bronson, DKR and some others.

Ja, I really liked Hardy in Donkey Kong Road too.

Donkey Kong Road is my favorite movie.

Yup. Pretty much looks terrible. It also feels like the Venom character translates really poorly when put into a realistic looking setting. That big, cartoony grin. Now if it had been a cartoon instead...

Hardy was very good in Locke, so I know he's not without ability.

Trying to get back to watching movies regularly. This evening, I chose "The Sea of Trees".

Had an interesting premise about a man who travels to Aokigahara Forest to commit suicide.

Turned out to be a really bad movie. Then I looked it up on Rotten Tomatoes and realized it's at 11%

Then I check it at IMDB, realize it's Gus Van Sant, then check his filmography. This guy has never made a decent movie. Not one I have seen anyway. This is a shame, since I wanted to watch "Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot" when it opens in movie theaters, but now, realizing that it is also by Van Sant... I'm thinking I better not.

Seems like a schmaltz fest just from the description.

Drugstore Cowboy is a phenomenal Van Sant film if you haven't seen that. Looking at his filmography, Good Will Hunting is decent I guess.

I tend to not even read the synopsis on the back of a movie. I skim it at best, since I like to just go by "intuition" and hope for something interesting. Pretty damn bad choice I made with this one.

You have no idea how accurate your assumptions about this movie are: epic schmaltz overload.

Haven't watched Drugstore Cowboy, so maybe he'll get that one chance. Seems he's been losing his way over the years.

I just watched Irreversible and I guess it was okay. Kinda whatever and the violence is over hyped. This New French Extremity movement needs to redeem itself after watching this and Martyrs and Calvaire. Pretty lackluster.
