SLICKR392 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 no no Righteous kill was much better :winky: Is it just me or do you guys also laugh at movies where the irish mob are the antagonists? Nay, righteous kill was no where close to Heat. Heat was competition between the best of the best!
G_B_ Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 and before i forget, if you are into the irish mob related thing There is none better than The Killing of a Chinese Bookie Other mob related movie (or Italian mob related ones) which are missing from the comments are a marty Scorsese classic Mean Streets.
coffee_rules Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 no no Righteous kill was much better :winky: Is it just me or do you guys also laugh at movies where the irish mob are the antagonists? Why? Irish Mob is big in Boston/New England Area.
Sachin=GOD Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 no no Righteous kill was much better :winky: Is it just me or do you guys also laugh at movies where the irish mob are the antagonists? not in the same league.
G_B_ Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Nay' date=' righteous kill was no where close to Heat. Heat was competition between the best of the best![/quote'] i was kidding dude. Righteous kill was a shithole and so was Heat. But Heat was much better than RK. I cant believe you people liked Heat. It incredibly cheesy and crude as well. You can predict the plot 30min into the film.
G_B_ Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Why? Irish Mob is big in Boston/New England Area. the only place the Irish mob had any real impact was the other side of chicago. the only irish mob movie which i liked was Road to Perdition. that was mostly for the music.

G_B_ Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Cheesy? How so? The plot was no suspense, it was always predictable. well for starters, the entire Val Kilmer love angle. what the hell was that?
SLICKR392 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 well for starters' date=' the entire Val Kilmer love angle. what the hell was that?[/quote'] How is that cheesy? :giggle: It was needless but not cheesy.
G_B_ Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 How is that cheesy? :giggle: It was needless but not cheesy. every convo he had with his wife (mostly fights) were cheesy. Littered with cliches even when De Nerio and Pacino chat. It was littered with cheese all over.

G_B_ Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 lets just agree to disagree. I just did not like Heat. Rate films like Mean Streets much higher than that. Atleast Casino was based somewhat on real events.
coffee_rules Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 the only place the Irish mob had any real impact was the other side of chicago. the only irish mob movie which i liked was Road to Perdition. that was mostly for the music. Read about James Whitey Bulger, whose trial is ongoing in Boston now. His story closely resembles of Costello (Nicholson) in The Departed. http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/03/06/us-departed-boston-idUSN0638885020070306

Turned out to be an FBI informant as well. So that sort of sums up the Irish mob.... (i know who is) They copied Departed from a Hong Kong based movie called internal affairs btw. Its ironic that Scorsese won an oscar for that while he got nothing for Goodfellas Raging Bull etc. Marty also seems to have gone from one Italian american (de niro) to another Italian American (di capio) who fronts his films..... (stuff like Kundun aside)
G_B_ Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 And speaking of Boston and Irish crime, maybe the biggest hoodlum to come out of there was Joe Kennedy........
beetle Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I am settled in India and have attended quite a few high profile traditional marriages' date=' Deepika's tube is the shortest I have ever seen in a traditional marriage.[/quote'] awww bhool jaa usse....:icflove:she is not the one for you.
beetle Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 This movie is much better than the awful Barfi. There were some senisble lines. Nobody was acting crazy like Anushka Sharma. Although everybody was preachy, what was so bad about the movie? It's much better than sitting through some Salman Khan/Akshay Kumar bashing 50 goons flying high in the sky. Also, better than any YashChopra Mushy romance. I would give 2.95/5. Clothes were skimpier, but that's what most movies including Hollywood goes around wearing. Is it a chick flick? My friends are raving about it.Some have seen it twice already.
coffee_rules Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Is it a chick flick? My friends are raving about it.Some have seen it twice already. Total Chicklet. I earned some brownies. :icflove:

(stuff like Kundun aside) I know about the IA and have a major beef on the Oscar pick for Scorcese. But the part about Irish Mob and the character is inspired by a real life character. Most Immgrant crowd in USA have a mob scene. There is nothing to laugh about or think that Italian mob are somehow superior to all. Mexicans, Chinese, Koreans, Russians, Irish, Italian all have the mob culture. Except for Indians !
beetle Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Total Chicklet. I earned some brownies. :icflove: Now I have to find some way to trick hubby into taking me :girl_haha:.....he absolutely dreads going for chickflicks....:ohmy:
