Wow
Has anyone else seen "Narc" with Ray Liotta and Jason Patric?
This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. While the plot seems a bit cliche at first, the brilliant writing and acting makes this movie really stand out. It's an acting workshop.

This begs the question: If a movie is made in 2002 but you dion't get to see it until 2003, is it the best movie of 2002 or best of 2003? I'd say this is one of the top 3 films since 2000, right up there with "Memento" and "Requiem For A Dream".

Saw it on 1/2.
Quite frankly, it was very predictable, and It's an OVERacting workshop ; )... taking a cue from Denzel in Training Day.


As for Memento, I know it's the 'cool' thing to do to say you like this movie, but get real, it was crap... not only that, it was crap in reverse.. which wasn't even an original idea.

If you haven't.. check out Boondock Saints... now THAT was brilliant.

Boondock Saints was pretty awesome ... I'll wait for Narc on DVD, being a big Liotta fan, I'll prolly just buy it when it comes out anyway. No time to go to the 'movies' anymore ...

Ray Liotta rules it... but Narc... ehh... with all the hype, I expected much
more out of the movie than I got.

I didn't go to the movies to see Narc...
Didn't even have to leave my office ; )

not everybody can dig Memento...I loved the movie, saw it 3 times

Also seen About Shmidt today..
solid 8 1/2 on 10 scale but wait 15 years to appreciate it fully

DX, I saw "Memento" before the hype machine kicked in...still loved it...
"Boondock Saints" was definitely a good flick too, but I still place "Narc" high on my movie going list.

Serge, I'm going to check out "About Schmidt" next weekend.

I also have a friend arranging a screening of "Ken Park" for me and I have high expectations for that one.

Hmmm, anyone up for a film festival or movie marathon at the next webmaster show? ;)

I loved Momento! It was a good story AND the way it was told was very clever - it kept you entertained and interested

Count me in for any movies during the shows (or any time ). I know it's a wuss movie, but we watched The Rookie last night and what a great story! On the DVD they also have a bit about the REAL guy and damn - they really didn't embellish much - if anything, they left stuff out that would have even made it MORE incredible. Just an all around "Feel good" story (plus I can watch Dennis Quaid sit in a chair for 2 hours and be happy).

I actually liked "The Rookie" too...I was thinking "A G-rated movie about baseball? No thanks" but my wife rented it and I really enjoyed it.

Peaches, I'll have to introduce you to my world of movies...where titles like "Gummo" and "Glengarry Glen Ross" site next to "Frankenhooker" and "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers" Give me artsy fartsy movies or b-grade trash classics and I'm equally happy...I just can't handle chick flicks and generic teen comedies...by the way, Freddie Prinze Jr. is the devil..and not in the fun frollicky way either...

The only problem I see with that is the selection of movies

Sykk (and Mike Fold) might want to introduce the world to um... interesting underground B flicks
While I worship at the shrine of Tarintino and DeNiro
Of course we have the foreign film contingent and the chick flickers and the unknown film classic adventurers as well as the gangster (not gansta) cartel

Hmmm ..... might be a good op to broden horizons

Sykk - Click here for an interesting article about the director of Narc. Sounds like he broke through into the big time. Narc was his first big budget film and for his next flick the studio gave him a Harrison Ford thriller and a $70 million budget.. not bad for his sophomore outing. The new movie with Ford has Ford playing a detective who is hired by a drug-dealer to find the person who kidnapped and killed the dealer's wife. Sounds pretty good.

Nice!

I love reading stories like these. That's why I find independent cinema so fascinating...the whole process of these guys working on small budgets and financing their films with credit cards. There's a great documentary called "American Movie" that chronicles a young filmmaker making his dream movie "Coven" and how he was this average Minnesota hick who wanted to make a movie and got financing via his senile uncle. The documentary is more entertaining than the movie he ended up making ;)

I saw NARC the other night and found it gritty, and fast paste and enjoyable.

Thank you!! I thought that 'Memento' sucked major ass!! It was one of the driest movies I have ever seen!! Boring and yet lame all at the same time!

i liked memento, as well as boondock saints.


memento was a gimmicky movie, but worked well. Insomnia (his follow up) was plodding and predictable.
