Blackball (2003)
Pretty good movie
Just watched a dvd rip of blackballs, never even heard of the sport of bowls until about 2 hours ago. I gave it a 6, probably the same rating i gave happy gilmore, as it is the British version basically.
Good movie to rent or buy used/cheap.
Phone Booth (2002)
This movie is no Leon.
Unlike Leon the characters are all pretty weak and the story was nowhere near as compelling.
In the end of Phone Booth I didn't really care if Stu got shot or not, nothing about him was that interesting. The movie is 80 mins long, but they didn't take more than five minutes to develop his character. Anyone that has seen People I Know has seen a publicist live a fast paced life that leaves little room for caring for other people, etc. At least in Al Pacino's case he still made a somewhat endearing character.
Some kind of twist at the end, perhaps Stu's evil past would have made this a better story. The caller was supposed to be a crazy vigilante, but he just kills an innocent guy on the street so Stu would eventually tell his wife that he is a loser. At least kill a guy for some good reason if you are trying to pass moral judgment.
Phone Booth was a unique film, but overall didn't quite give me what I was looking for, 6/10.
