Score!

(The kind of legal thriller "The Lincoln Lawyer" tried and failed to be.)

Sheesh, people, that's Kevin Bacon and Gary Oldman in 1989's flawed but fascinating Criminal Law.

Rolling Eyes

That looks like The Black Hole.

Meanwhile, do you know what's the difference between the re-release of Titanic and the upcoming Battleship?

Answer: In Battleship, the berg is behind the camera. Rolling Eyes

Thank you very much, I'll be here all week.

Alex scores! And I hope Berg calms his fucking camerabatics down this time. He made the wonderful The Rundown but, sheesh, his ultra-jittery camera in The Kingdom made me want to grab the nearest bottle of Dramamine 10 minutes into it.

You don't recognize the actor? He was 30 at the time and the director had his hair grayed -- even though it was never consistent throughout the movie. In her review, Pauline Kael cited critic Elvis Mitchell's description of it as "mood hair."

I think the actor is Mickey Rourke. I just wouldn't be able to tell you the movie.

Michael Cimino's mammothly entertaining crime tale easily made my top-10 list of 1985. Rourke was miscast in it, though; Nick Nolte, the first name thrown out, would've been a better choice.

From 1989's "True Believer," folks. One of the best courtroom thrillers of all-time.

And this one's from a flawed but very effective political thriller...

"Wolfen": dynamite direction, nonsensical scripting.

Heh! And I'd respond with "back when Bob had non-bestial intercourse" only we both know it's always been bestial with you!

Jack - Son, there ain't nothing bestial about banging a skeezy Mexican whore in her umply-dump-scrumptious pooper. Razz

Unless you're doing it dry. Which ole Bob is. Twisted Evil

So, err.. you may be right for once. Damn it son, you good!

Hmm.. Bob's actually not sure about this one.. it looks like A Fine Mess. Think

Been so long since this ole man's seen it though.
And by it.. I don't mean my Dookie Pounder™, you jerky little prick. I see that just fine! Evil or Very Mad

From an excellent police thriller...
