It's very much a musical, unless a woman usually walks around at night in a street singing :)

OK well if you genuinely regard Once as a musical then you can limit my hate for what you know I regard as a musical. As in when a scene, for no normal cinematic reason, breaks into some choreographed explosion of naff. I get pins and needles in my face, I let out an involuntary scream, search frantically for the remote control and probably punch the nearest living thing to me.

 

 

So, not a fan of Sunshine on Leith then Bri? :)

The Rock was Michael Bay?  But, but, it's actually okay.

I've never seen it, but it can still be explained with the "If you throw enough shit at the wall, some of it will stick". Sooner or later he's going to make something that isn't complete vomit.

The Rock is both utter crap and brilliance (to be disputed) at the same time. Nicholas Cage at his best (to be disputed). Add into that Con Air, Face/Off, Broken Arrow, Armageddon & Bad Boys it was a golden era of American Cinema (to be disputed)

 

Got a friend at uni to watch all of these over a couple of day period as he had seen none of them. Unfortunately he did not view them with the same nostalgic enjoyment that myself and 4 other housemates did.

The Rock is genuinely a great 90s action movie.

I can't think of a thing I'd change about it, even Nic Cage.

That it's made by Michael Bay continues to be I've of life's great mysteries. In not even sure the 'enough shit' approach works, because in every element it's perfectly fine good action movie stuff. Even the characters are unanimously likable and there's none of Bay's patented pornographic leer - despite having a risqué scene.
