'Roight then -
Tonight we keep #ButlerFest moving along, our annual monthly tribute to master thespian @GerardButler.
This go 'round he places himself in the hands of Guy Ritchie, so Gerry is immersed in the mean streets of London for the ensemble crime romp ''Rocknrolla''. Image
Guy Ritchie exploded on the scene following his stylish neo-noir crime movies “Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels”, and the very excellent “Snatch”. His career was to be stratospheric

Then he met Madonna.

Then he made “Swept Away”. No more need be said.

After years of middling success after martyring Madge Guy attempted to get back to his roots here with a gritty but flashy London crime caper.
Expect caffeinated editing, Dutch angles, a slew of arcane characters and accents thicker than blood pudding.

It feels right for some Gerard Butler magic as we continue on our monthlong celebration of Scotland's master thespian.
I'm working without a net here, as I delve into a thriller of his I have never seen - SHATTERED.
The DVD-level poster speaks volumes.

A couple in a wonderful marriage becomes threatened by an outsider - with nefarious intentions! (all drama is assumed, at this stage.)
This 2007 thriller was once called ''Butterfly On A Wheel''. They dropped that clunker for a wholly generic title.

During the production cards we hear lightning - a promise of thrills and intrigue to come. These films, like a campaigning candidate, usually fail to deliver on those promises.

Okay Jerks -
The mean cyber gods kept me off of the intertubes for a few days, so I am kicking off our annual August #ButlerFest in proper fashion.
Allow me to walk you through the CLASSIC that is GEOSTORM. This is a film that demands to be seen, to be appreciated - to be loved. Image
This is the one sheet from the release. Looks damned dramatic, eh? That wave is what, 50 feet tall, 100 feet? ? ?
Well, we'll never know.
The studio sold the film with an image that never takes place in the movie itself. Image
Things open in dramatic fashion -- with a voice-over. The film is rooted in the threat of global warming, with all the dire perils and all of the science needed to save us from ourselves.

So they give us stock footage of bad weather, and a lecture from an eight year old girl. Image
