Final Playlist: Righteous Kill

In the old days we got 1974...a fade in and fade out...two film images of Deniro as Vito and Pacino as Micheal, from The Godfather II...years went by with speculation...will these two titans of the screen ever do a movie together...of course we eventually got it, in the right amount but it was still a tease in HEAT...they had 2 scenes together...a dinner and the last shot of the film where Al guns down Bobby...what a great film that was...years go by...and now unfortunately Al is 70 years old and Bobby is closing in on 68...so a few years ago they make Righteous Kill...it's terrible, of course, as I have made it clear in way too many posts...the end is...spoiler...but I don't care...the reverse of HEAT...I mean how weak is that..it literally has lights like the end of heat and they hold hands...Bobby shoots Al...

What else...why couldn't we get some more films out of these guys...I always respected Al a little more because he was in films less then Bobby...Bobby's best roles may be better...but Bobby has a lot of stinkers...the next rumor is a possible Bobby and Al team-up for Scorsese in a Frank Sinatra Bio-pic...Al would play Frank and Bobby would play Dean...as old men I guess...I am all for it...I just see Righteous Kill as a film based on the fact that we have Bobby and Al...and not 2 great actors...I mean why not have them as just actors acting...and not "Look, its Al and Bobby"

I will never watch this film again probably...I will watch HEAT many more times. Don't watch this film...maybe watch Taxi Driver and Scarface at the same time.

Here: I almost distilled these two for you...I'd like to distill the director and screenwriter of Righteous Kill in a BLENDER

Almost Done Playlist3: Righteous Kill

OK...so we could see the twist coming from the opening scene...this movie is like (spoiler, I think)...like if Kevin Spacey was Brad Pitt's partner in Se7en...I mean I really think that 1 statement was how the idea for this movie was started and how it was pitched.

1. The end scene with DeNiro and Pacino is actually pretty good...not at good as Heat...but worth fast forwarding to.

2. DeNiro actually is a character and not sleepwalking through it...he acts well in it...better then I thought.

3. Pacino, is ok...but both together are not great or even good till the end

4. I have 14 minutes left of the film.

Kinda Playlist 2: Righteous Kill Update

Ummm...what cop movie has 2 detectives and everybody in the film only refers to the 2 detectives by their "nickname"? I mean "Turk" and "Rooster"?...who wrote this terrible script?...was it some kid in high school?...I will plunge into this film again and try and finish it..it just makes me very angry...Jon Avent also directed 88 Minutes which I have not seen...so I guess Pacino gets along with him...I also guess they talked Deniro into it since he has had a string of losers and figured..."hey, people don't care what we are really in...let's get the guy who directed Fried Green Tomatoes and make a film where 2 great actors act terrible and the best actor in the film is played by Danny Wahlberg"...by the way the writer is Russell Gewirtz and he wrote INSIDE MAN???@@##@@>???%^...Bullshit...I call bullshit on this guy. Either Avent is an idiot or Spike Lee is really a great director.

Does Al look a little Sick?

Kinda Playlist: Righteous Kill

This is excruciating...I know...I have known who the killer in this film is...all the clues are laid out...and it's killing me to watch two of my favorite actors go through this film...Who the heck is Jon Avent and why does he think he is David Fincher?...The killer says he is the killer...why O why lord have you forsaken Bobby and Al to this?...I continue to watch...the good thing is that Carla Gugino is in this and she is hot...she played Bobby D's daughter in some film a few years back (This Boys Life)...and now in this film he is ploughing her fields from behind...if you get my drift.
