"This review originally appeared during the Toronto Film Festival. Guy Ritchie’s RockNRolla opens in New York and LA today. Guy Ritchie has been getting a bad rap ever since the his impressive double header of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch turned into the double whammy of becoming Mr. Madonna in 2000 and directing Swept Away in 2002. Ritchie was quickly heading for the bargain bin after that romantic comedy became a universal joke, topped as a target of derision perhaps only by Gigli. He returned to gangster fare with Revolver in 2005, but even with star and Ritchie alumnus Jason Statham, the film wasn’t well-received. So here we are three years later with yet another gangster-studded film, RocknRolla, this time with posterboy Gerard Butler in a leading role. "

"Wow. After a slow start, this movie really takes off. Though I love Snatch and Lock, Stock, it's reassuring to see that Guy Ritchie's talent can go in a different direction. That's not to say that he's completely abandoned his roots (which he might have done on the Swept Away remake....though I haven't seen it...) as there are trademark cinematography and editing touchs in addition to dialogue and content. Revolver reaffirms that Jason Statham is an actor with Ritchie and merely an action star without. He is at his dramatic best here and looks great next to the comedic masterwork in Snatch. Ritchie's new directions allow him to grow as a filmmaker and distance himself from the "he made the same movie twice" comments at the start of his career. I now trust him more as a writer/director and I'm really excited for Rocknrolla. "

Well, the good news is that this marks a return to the London underbelly that was laid down by Lock and Snatch: RocknRolla

Spoiler Alert - Highly Stylized ...

"In Bruges features one of the most stylized child murders I have ever seen on film. I repeat – Stylized Child Murder. Later in the film we have another stylized murder of a midget that results in a suicide because the suicide victim thought the latter murder was a child murder. Now, I think gangster death can be fun just like everybody else, including the Reservoir Dogs clones up and through In Bruges. But the British took it too far – I am not a fan of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels for many of the same reasons that I am not a fan of this movie. The British take on the humor in these films is generally a bit too sadistic. Furthermore, we have an illegal drug subplot that is placed just to give the film an additional edge it does not deserve or need. Farrell and Gleeson are entertaining enough as the wayward buddy gangsters - especially Gleeson who we need to see in more "

"It’s not always worthwhile to jump on rumors like this, but the idea that Brad Pitt could be cast as The Mighty Thor in Marvel’s upcoming movie adaptation (due June 4, 2010) is too good an idea to be left alone. The word comes from Latino Review that Marvel is simply tossing the actor’s name around, though apparently the role hasn’t even been suggested, let alone offered, to Pitt. Unfortunately, it’s hard to imagine that Pitt would be interested in playing a superhero. He’s still a big enough star and a talented enough actor that he might feel he’s above such a thing. However, if he wants to continue making great films like The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, which don’t make him much cash, he’s going to need some mainstream hits, and he could do much worse for a paycheck than wear a cape and helmet and fight evil as the Norse God of Thunder. So, I’ve come up with five reasons for Pitt to grab Thor’s hammer. Hopefully he’ll find the list convincin "

"Jason Statham is not a name that exactly inspires confidence in moveigoers.He was director Guy Ritchie’s lapdog for “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch,” before boxing himself in to roles that played up his martial-arts prowess, squelching any dramatic potential that nuanced his performances.Starring in a string of empty-calorie cinematic Twinkies (“The Transporter” films, “Chaos,” “War” and “Crank” were all designed solely to accentuate his pugnacious proclivities) only kept him out of the direct-to-video purgatory that befell fellow fighters Steven Segal and Jean-Claude Van Damme.He’s often dismissed as the British version of Bruce Willis (balding, gruff on-screen demeanor, characters of few words and a cupboard filled with ca "
