Shooters (2001)
decent film, brilliant debuts, well worth a watch
i watched the film last night and thought it was pretty good. the ending is a bit predictable.
but some of the performances are brilliant for debuts.
the film is a brilliant portrayal of how I imagine Liverpool gangster life to be, you can believe it because they are real people transferring real life to screen. the camera shots of the kids in the streets on bikes are a definitive art-form, sucker punching a secret message, that these gangsters have come from nothing.
the start scene sent a shiver down my spine, when you see the two gangsters ballyed up running round the side of the house to jump on the drug dealer.
but the shooting scene at the cathedral, when Franny has just bit half of that mancs face off seems a little phony. the fight is great, when Franny goes phsyco it seems really sick and real, but when Sculley and someone else are running back to the car shooting it just made me laugh as it looked really fake.
everyones shooting and no-one gets shot, they sound like air guns or summat.
but all in all i thought it was a decent film cant understand why Franny's sat in his house being paranoid, with swords, snorting coke, watching the camera on his house, is it because he has been seen with john or maybe i missed something, could someone enlighten me?
Phoenix Nights (2001)
best modern comedy available!!!!!
I must admit that the league of gentlemen and the office come very close to this as a comedy series, but phoenix nights has it all! the office is brilliant but, there is only one main joke, David Brent, obviously Gareth, Keith and Tim are amazing too but there is only so far you can push this humour, as you end up cringing at Brent sometimes (oi Brent, give it up!) the league of gentlemen is also absolute class, but i think there's a bit more of a story in phoenix nights and as they are all milling about under one roof the opportunities for gags are endless.
don't get me wrong i do love the league of gentlemen and i know it does have a very entertaining and fulfilling storyline but (maybe its because I'm from up north) i just think phoenix nights has the edge.
there are more "spit your tea out" laughs in P.N and continual background gags, also the ability of Peter Kay to play 3 roles, each equally funny, just makes this the best modern comedy available! little Britain comes nowhere near, its fairly funny in parts but too repetitive.
people have recommended the mighty Busch which i have not watched yet.
