"Hey, Jerry we need a script for Tony Scott. He wants to try out some new colour filters and some of that whooshy slowy downy speedy uppy shit he likes so much. It's gonna be about a female bounty hunter."
"Yeah, what's the story gonna be about?"
"I dunno. A chick with a gun. Who gives a shit?"
"Well, she's gotta be hot. How about that skinny chick in that Pirate movie?"
"Ain't she British?"
"Yeah, so what. All she's gotta do is run around shooting shit and get her hooters out once in a while. Give her some tattoos and smeared mascara while your at it. Them emo kids love that shit."
"It's gonna need shoot outs. Lots of blood..."
"Hey, all we gotta do is keep showing what MIGHT have happened, and we can stick in all the action we like even if it makes no sense!"
"You are a f***ing …

Blood, guns, and Brian Austin Green

The most recent Tony Scott movie I saw was True Romance (now over 10 years old), so I can't justifiably respond to a question like, "How was Domino?" with an "Oh, it's just another Tony Scott movie." Perhaps a sufficient answer is, "Oh, it's kinda like True Romance." Like Romance, Domino is violent, sometimes quirky, star-studded, and has one of those scenes where bloodstained $100 bills whirlybird above freshly bullet-ridden Mafiosi.
Domino (Keira Knightley) is your garden-variety wild child in Beverly Hills—until she teams up with underrated bounty hunters Ed (the nasty-ass Mickey Rourke) and Choco (the hot-as-**** Edgar Ramirez) to hunt bounty using gats and nunchucks. Injecting the men with a little "woman's touch," Domino is sometimes cunning, always fearless, and is usually …

Not Quite the Rippling Effect I Had In Mind

I'll first start off by saying that the best part of the movie was the performance. I think everyone played their character full-out. They did what they could without really being able to tap into the root of the character, because the root didn't exist. It seemed like there was supposed to be some deeper storyline behind the 3 main characters as well as Claremont's crew (which I didn't entirely understand), but it got lost somewhere between a sick baby and Afghanistan (those who have seen this know what I am talking about).
By the way, I loved how Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green were the "celebrity hostages." I mean I guess they could be. I guess everyone knows who they are technicially. But seriously? Don't get me wrong. I love them. I loved 90210.But they were chosen as …

This ain't "Dog" Chapman

This is the true story of the late Domino Harvey (played by Keira Knightly), a former British fashion model who became a well known bounty hunter in Los Angeles. Although the story is true, the movie is only based on her life.
Sadly, Harvey would die of a drug overdose about five months before the movie's release.
The first thing you will notice is the cinematography. There are some interesting edits, lighting and use of on-screen graphics. The edits themselves help enhance the action scenes pretty nicely, and the lighting help set the mood for the movie.
Another thing that is pretty good is the performances. Mickey Rourke does a good job as Domino's bounty hunting boss. In fact, even though I knew he was in the movie, I didn't recognize him due to his dramatic change in …

Double Zero Goes Last...

Wow, another flick I had been looking forward to on the big screen until…you know…I saw it. There are lots of plot holes, inconsistencies, and “who gives” through most of the film. What can we do to make the content more rich? Ah yes I’ve got an idea! Let’s show off Keira Knightley’s breasts, or the lack thereof, for a bit. Basically none of the characters matter, the plot is weak, and as if you could get any more obscure, God speaks to the cast at some point in the film?! Yes folks we’ve come from Man On Fire, to this…
Chalk it up to “Not everyone’s life is interesting enough to make a based on a true story movie”
What Crum Dug! – Tony Scott sure can make a beautiful movie. The cinematography is gold and very fight club-esque…
Bah Crumbug! – pretty …
