Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
Very engaging.

Daredevil: Director's Cut Piss poor but weirdly entertaining. And there's something quite sweet about such a lame superhero.

The only good thing about that film is Bullseye.

Laughing out loud ...Oh wait your serious, let me hold my sides. Colin Farrel can't act his way out of a paper bag.

I don't get that character; he goes blind, but then he can still see as he can see sounds in his head, like a bat echo, and so becomes a superhero? What's the special power there? What about that makes him suddenly a superhero?! All it means is that for some reason, even though he's blind, he can still 'see' the world around him.

Wrong.

Whatever happened to Colin Farrell? There was a time when he was the next big thing. Not anymore.

Like Alec Baldwin. Maybe in ten years he'll appear in a classic TV sitcom after he's been almost forgotten.

Basically Farrell mainly chose films that people weren't that interested in seeing, so he slipped out of sight a bit.

The only film I've seen of his since Daredevil came out is In Bruges.

That's why he's so piss poor and ill defined. And boy, do Marvel flog the dead-dad stuff to death.

He did In Bruges which was bloody brilliant. What has he done since?

I know he's been in quite a lot, but no one cared and I can't recall any of their names. Though he was in that Imaginarium film a little, I think. He's in something that was being advertised on TV recently; men walking about mountains in rags.

Oh that looked SUPER boring. The long road home or something? I wish he'd do some better stuff.

He's in the Total Recall remake, which will be worth a peek.

Really? It's meant to be based more on the book. But come on, what the point?
