If do a funny thing as share Sylvester Stallone’s filmography on periods, I would call movies before Rocky as “Early Stallone” while followed after that is “Finest Stallone”, a time, which, unfortunately, doesn’t fit to current his projects. “Loose Stallone” began in 2015 from Creed in which legend decided to involve himself in Rocky Balboa movie wasn’t written by him though it was an all right one, but it should got an other title. Stallone’s name stayed solid for me as it was with back-to-back production of Escape Plan sequels. I trust him though I always had suspicion to such filmmaking because no quality from them at usual. I moved in theater on the first sequel of Escape Plan and I passed with the second one by choosing Armchair Edition version. Sly has two wonderful flicks in this period of “Loose Stallone”, because he had total involvement as it was usual while he stopped to do this approach with most of productions in which he participates.
An upcoming Armored was in my vision by story’s conception about relatives whose work with money truck, which was attacked by a small group of people in remote place which soul rarely visits point. A bridge is excellent point for act. This idea of storyline can transform into wonderful. I had piece of unsure due to it’s movie had VOD production what associates that it can be done with no diligent efforts as can say always. Though it’s approach does in big budget films. Cinema became commodity similar to yogurt in store.
I’ve learned on production of Armored. I familiarized with it’s existence by checking Sly’s filmography. I had that with Backtrace, which wasn’t announced and it appeared as project which will be released in the next month. The legend wanted to fill his bank account is experience with this movie. I can’t understand, because he doesn’t have difficulties with money in multiple times and he doesn’t belongs to performers who sign for such flicks for pay bills. Moreover, he gets colossal residuals from his long in decades filmography and has many other earning activities as merchandise. Maybe, acting is kind of drug without he can’t be and that’s why he agrees. It’s sadly with no matter of reason that he became involved in more than one of these constructions of films.
His another one was discovered by same checking of filmography and it names Alarum, which is already this yogurt by reading hilarious storyline describing of two love each other agents who against the world while action will filmed in one remote location and watching film material has a taste of job, which must be done, such as cleaning rubble in premise.
NB. Uniform of cinema reached film trailers. I do not like that I watch scenes, but I see then a title “trailer begins in few seconds”. No sense to make this, because it misleads and I am not pleased to watch on same pieces again. Anyway, I’m thinking to not make exclusions with trailers in big movies by giving needless hope that, maybe, it will have something. I watch and I think that all studios give materials to one crew, don’t think how to present while the last use pattern. Every trailer uses a known song, which was disgustingly contemporary arranging. However, I think it’s a great sign it will be hellish awful. Not to so far, I saw terrible with upcoming Transformers cartoon in just beginning by poorly installed camera, which was seen big times. I knew that these far almost aside shot of two sitting transformers will to ludicrous conversation between them. It was. That bad attempt to joke was as always. I was diligent by giving few more seconds, but it’s delirious was still there. I wanted to give more, but I said myself I know it willn’t improve. I was supposed to pass with it by seeing few names in cast.
Sylvester Stallone said that currently he doesn’t want to do movies outside of US due to it will separate him with family for long time and he enjoys from acting now. Armored was made in Mississippi, which infamous Randall Emmett used for cheap production and get subsidies allowed to pay Sly 3,5 million dollars for one day of work. That producer who filled of debts, tries to cover himself by that his new company wasn’t founded by him and he is not director of Armored had fifteen days in initial schedule, which reduced to ten and ended on nine with a crew whose many professionals agreed to work for less of their standard payment, because actors’ strike was back then and this flick as independent production got exception permission from a guild. Theoretically attached on director’s chair an unknown Justin Routt only was walking around and imitated that he works by making photos and publishing in web. Emmett in that single day with Stallone was busied in own things as quarrelling with another new girlfriend. It forced to Sly and cinematographer Cale Finot to elaborate scenes by themselves. The whole production was mess. I forgot that I want to watch it.
Sly’s presence in Armored will for traditional in Emmett’s movies strategy of popularized him of “geezer teaser”, which producer used with Bruce Willis until his retirement. Since a bald legend stepped aside, his place was taken by many grandiose actors who mostly has no other alternative in actually. Mel Gibson, who can produce own films, takes these roles what is a big frustration, because with his great look now he could play more curious personages with his imposing talent. I have big unhappiness to Jonathan Rhys Meyers, a mesmerizing performer who doesn’t play in From Paris with Love sequels and dramas. He forced to waste himself in dime productions. It was saturating to watch on him in Tudors even though Henry VIII hadn’t abs and his hair was ginger.
Chuck Norris returned to acting actively. I watched his scenes in remake Hawaii Five-O in which he has a short role is dialogs with two cops and he is helpless in expression of performance. He was in a game Crime Boss: Rockay City in which simply read given text. He signs and doesn’t work salary because his name permits to do as it was with Steven Seagal until he moved outside of the United States. Robert De Niro with all my disrespect to his deranged personality, he plays in such projects but works money as that John Malkovich does. I watch on next two-bit projects of Chuck Norris. Zombie Plane is B movie from a title and Agent Recon with a plot imaging a global scale while, probably, a big part of action will in one wilderness location in this little budget movie.
Arnie is one who doesn’t choose VOD decadence. He reduced presence in films due to absence of diligent offers. But signed with Netflix, which has own amorality and I couldn’t see him in political correct productions.
And not only legend in acting, but decadence relating to filmmakers, which were promising. A good director dies after going into Hollywood. Guy Ritchie who sounded twenty years ago while he ended before entering in Tinseltown, but there he came to absolute dispersion. Pierre Morel was discovery when he was in France. That I saw in this month with Fernando Meirelles who staged monumental City of God. I began to watch TV series Sugar with Colin Farrell. A show wanted to be noir, but it doesn’t. A screenplay is modern illogical in acts of characters and does for twists which are no sense – a sad trendy. No logical combination with pieces of old films and constant glimpse and jumping in shots is almost harmful if you have an epilepsy. Certainly, presence of disgust of political correctness added to unbearable in watching, which I ended in somewhere very early of the third episode.
Nevertheless, things are not awful at all. The artistic projects from legends in development.
