Mr. Beaks Assumes The Position For NARC!!

Jason Patric in Rush 2: Narc by Cutter's Way	Oct 8th, 2002 10:35:26 AM
I won't be the only one making the comparison. Patric played a strung-out undercover narc already to great effect in Rush (a film criminally forgotten nowadays). However, Narc also sounds really solid with Liotta along for the ride. An earlier super-long trailer for Narc was online and gave the whole plot away. I guess that's why it's been 86'ed. After Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane I thought we'd never hear from Mel Carnahan again and I wasn't too broken up about it, but maybe he went and got his shit together to make a decent film.
I'm excited to see more of Jason Patric by OK Then	Oct 8th, 2002 10:39:16 AM
I really enjoyed him in "Sleepers," and I guess there are obvious comparisons to be made between his character in this film and his drug-addled Raynor in "Rush." By the way, whatever happened to that "Three Days of Rain" or whatever it was called that was based on Chekov? Was that ever released?
Is Mr. Beeks a regular? by StubePT	Oct 8th, 2002 12:28:46 PM
Because no one on this site writes with such prose and articulation as this guy. Its odorus emination is of something green and stuck in the ground.... Like a plant.
Carnahan by Scaggs	Oct 8th, 2002 01:27:49 PM
I have to point out that Carnahan is from Sacramento, CA and I always have to remind people how we do it out here on the westside. This movie is gonna own.
Jesus! NARC?!? I want X2 news! I'll even settle for Matrix: by Man_of_Kerioth	Oct 8th, 2002 01:48:18 PM
What the fuck is wrong with this site recently? There hasn't been ANYTHING noteworthy for well over a week (except for that kick-ass LOTR: TTT trailer, but that wasn't exactly an AICN exclusive, was it?).
Good review Beaks. by el che'	Oct 8th, 2002 02:10:12 PM
I'm definately checkin' this one out.
Mr. Beaks is no plant by -Dr.Strangelove-	Oct 8th, 2002 02:17:29 PM
Plants haven't written over 35 articles for AICN. Beaks is a great writer and I can only hope one day I'll come close to his quality of work.
Question about BGB&O by sanjuro	Oct 8th, 2002 02:37:04 PM
Gonna check it out soon as I can get my grubby fingers on it. Can someone tell me if it was shot on video or not? 7300 budget for 16 is impressive, a la Rodriguez. 7300 for any kind of video isn't nearly as interesting. I'll check it out either way, just curious.
You think by ZO	Oct 8th, 2002 03:20:58 PM
Mr Beaks gives want to give the director head or jason patric? "shadings of character"? who are you? some film school reject?
Don't fuck with Beaks. by Nordling	Oct 8th, 2002 06:22:03 PM
He's got more passion and talent than anyone in Talkback, including myself. Plus, the guy took it from a gorilla and survived. Remember, he'll rip out your eyes and piss on your brain. NO MORE GODDAMN JERKY BEEF!
good lord by Everett Robert	Oct 8th, 2002 06:23:25 PM
is there no pleasing some people "beaks is a plant" "beaks gives the director head" "who cares about this shit give us more Matrix" That's what is great about this site, it isn't just comic book new or just Tan and A action adventrue crap. It's a combination of indie, high budget, genre and mainstream films. This site is based on a love of films and if you don't like it, you don't have to visit this site. My word some of you bitches are picky. And I know that maybe some of you are just trying to 'talkback' i.e. make jokes, slam the reviewer, etc. But if you are it's a pisspoor attempt. See the Mega Madonnafan review for that...that's true 'talkbacking' But anyways...moving on to NARC, sounds espically good...hope I get to see it.
What in the Christ is this happy horse-shit? by BuLLeT_TiMe	Oct 8th, 2002 06:24:55 PM
For the love of Lucifer, you people accuse EVERYONE of being a plant. It's really sad. Next you'll be saying Harry's a pla- Oh wait...never mind.
David Poland raved about Narc yesterday by Xocxoc	Oct 8th, 2002 09:50:12 PM
You can read his review at thehotbutton.com for monday oct 7. This one is going on my Must See list which is getting way too big over the coming months "Too many good movies, too little time"
I bet his shit don't stink either... by OJ	Oct 8th, 2002 09:51:09 PM
After reading this review, you'd think NARC was the next Citizen Kane. Settle down.
And I'm Wondering What I Ever Did To Alonzo Mourning & O.J. by mrbeaks	Oct 8th, 2002 11:01:02 PM
Who knew there were so many snippy former pro athletes hanging around in talk back?
Looking Forward To This One by DarioArgento	Oct 9th, 2002 03:26:56 AM

Mr. Beaks reviews Kal-El out of being dead? by Lordhoban	Oct 9th, 2002 04:36:22 AM
Interesting... truly, interesting. Does he get laser vision as well? Able to leap tall fax machines in a single twirl of the pen?
Beaks stole this review from someone else. by efilmcritic	Oct 12th, 2002 08:27:40 PM
It's one thing claiming to have seen a movie you haven't seen. It's another altogether stealing someone else's review and claiming it as your own. This review is an almost word for word copy of the review posted last week at Hollywood Bitchslap.com. God, at least credit the original writer before you steal from them shamelessly.
ALMOST by Jfa	Oct 13th, 2002 02:15:27 AM
maybe not quite word for word but let's take a close look. narc review comes out on efilm early oct. a full two months before the release, then coincidence, here comes aicn review. efilm critic review mentions Michael cimino's Deer Hunter and intense opening scene. Aicn mentions intense opening scene and directors from the 70's. Efilmcritic mentions the split screen sequence, aicn news same sequence, efilmcritic mentions best work of actors careers, aicn same. Efilmcritic mentions Requiem for A dream, guess who mentions Requiem for A Dream. Efilmcritc predicts Oscar wins for Liotta, guess who predicts Oscar win. Finally, efilmcritic mentions Oliver Stone and says director Carnahan has moved into category of best directors US has to offer. Guess what aicn said. A little too close for comfort in my opinion especially considering the timing. The film's not due for months. Hmmmmmm!
