Author Topic: Paparazzi Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 09-04-2004 10:34 PM                     Ok, I really wanted to see this one because it looked really good and I like the lead actor from when he was in 2 Fast 2 Furious. He is very talented. Overall this movie had me on the edge of my seat throughout. My dad, who WILL let you know if a movie sucks, was really excited in this movie. This movie really shows the true evil and decietful ways of the paparazzi. One man can finally stop it. That man is "Bo Laramie" Really good 4/5 stars [ 09-06-2004, 10:23 AM: Message edited by: Richard Greco ]  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 09-05-2004 03:19 AM                     It had it's ups and downs. I thought the ending was predictable but judging from what kind of film it is, that is to be expected.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-05-2004 02:26 PM                     Richard are you talking about Cole Hauser... he was a lead in 2 Fast 2 Furious not Bad Boys 2.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 09-06-2004 10:24 AM                     You are right...Got my movies mixed up.  |  IP: Logged Darren Crimmins Expert Film Handler Posts: 130 From: Dallas, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-06-2004 09:49 PM                     He was also good as the lead Neo-Nazi in the 1995 "Higher Learning".  |  IP: Logged Rich Granata Film Handler Posts: 61 From: Bethlehem PA USA Registered: Mar 2004 posted 09-07-2004 09:33 AM                     I expected more of it. I like movies where the guy takes the law into his own hands, but this wasn't great. The direcing wasn't bad but the photographers were terrible at acting. And the Mel Gibson cameo WAS SO DUMB! Same thing with Matthew Makonohay. WHY?  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 09-07-2004 10:34 AM                     I thought it was funny as hell with the Mel Gibson cameo. You must've not gotten the BLATANT joke that was intended. SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!! The therapist says that the journals are really successful for many of her patients. Bo walks out, trashes the journal and we see Gibson with a HUGE stack of these things. It was funny. FYI, Gibson owns the production company, ICON productions, which did this movie. The Matthew McConahey(sp?) cameo was to point out that Bo finally made it big and had big name stars admiring his work. Take this movie for what it is worth, a really cool revenge flick. I think that everyone played fine. The paparazzi were what they were. Evil, ruthless and conniving. I still think it is one of the better movies I've seen in a while.  |  IP: Logged Rich Granata Film Handler Posts: 61 From: Bethlehem PA USA Registered: Mar 2004 posted 09-08-2004 07:39 PM                     Hey now. I like revenge flicks too but... come on. I didn't like the Mel Gibson thing BECAUSE it was Icon productions. How funny would it have been if he put himself in Passion...HAHAH... I guess the movie was OK. Chris Rock was funny.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 09-08-2004 08:36 PM                     Agreed....Did you know that he did have a cameo in passion?  |  IP: Logged Angel Suarez Film Handler Posts: 7 From: Miami, FL, USA Registered: May 2004 posted 09-12-2004 07:54 PM                    I really wouldn't consider seeing your hand on the screen a cameo. I belive this is what your talking about for Passion.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-02-2005 04:05 PM                     The only good part of this movie was the lobby and under the marquee shot of the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. This was a Very predictable thriller. This was the first time I've ever seen Dennis Farina play a pussy cop in a movie. 1/5 stars ( 1 for the Pantages) I had a screening recently, so thats why its a late review.  |  IP: Logged
