Cast: Seth Rogen (Dale Denton) James Franco (Saul Silva) Danny McBride (Red) Kevin Corrigan (Bludofsky) Craig Robinson (Matheson) Gary Cole (Ted Jones) Rosie Perez (Carol – female cop )
Lazy court-process clerk and stoner Dale Denton has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver: to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop and the city’s most dangerous drug lord, he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him–and it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they’re not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia: incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. All aboard the Pineapple Express.
Saul: It’s almost a shame to smoke it. It’s like killing a unicorn… with, like, a bomb.
One thing we need to get outta the way. James Franco : You So Would….
It’s Franco’s performance that makes a lot of the movie for me. His low level weed dealer Saul could easily have come across as a complete douche. Instead, it’s hard not to fall in love with Saul. He bundles along with a mixture of high intelligence and sweet naivety. Seth Rogen also puts in a gem of a performance. True, his character is not a stretch from those he’s played before – especially ‘Knocked Up’s Ben. The two form such a great duo you find yourself rooting for them with passion.
The film mixes some hilarious dialogue and truly laugh-out-loud set pieces – the fight at Red’s house and cop car chase being two of the highlights – with some real action shoot out and by the end is looking like something Michael Bay could have produced. You almost think you’re watching a serious action film then something will happen such as a slow-mo Dale walking from a building carrying Saul. In his pants.
The film has been described as a ‘Stoner Comedy’ but don’t let that put you none-smokers off. In short the film is funny as fuck. That’s high praise coming from a cynical sod like me. Now, I just need to get my hands on some of that Pineapple Express and I might be able to sit through anything….
Cast: Paddy Considine ( Richard ) Gary Stretch ( Sonny ) Toby Kebbell ( Anthony ) Jo Hartley ( Jo ) Seamus O’Neil ( Big Al ) Stuart Wolfenden ( Herbie ) Paul Sadot ( Tuff ) Paul Hurstfield ( Mark )
Richard returns home from military service to a small town in the Midlands. He has one thing on his mind: revenge. Payback for the local bullies who did some very bad things to his brother. At first his campaign employs guerrilla tactics, designed to frighten the men and put them ill at ease. But then he steps up his operation, and one by one these local tough guys are picked off by the terrifying angel of vengeance that Richard has become.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Paddy Considine may well be one of the best actors of our generation. He’s definitely the best British actor – seriously, prove me wrong! Already highly impressed by him. He gives immensely powerful performances in ‘In America’, ‘24 Hour Party People’, ‘Cinderella Man’, ‘The Bourne Ultimatum’ and showing he can do comedy too in ‘Hot Fuzz’
However, it was his performance here as Richard that absolutely blew me away. Deservedly winning Empire’s best male performance award, Considine commands attention from every other. Playing a soldier who come backs to seek revenge on a group of thugs that have abused his younger mentally challenged brother. Richard starts of with almost childish pranks but then the terror escalates and we see the true menace.
Throughout the film, we see glimpses of what was inflicted on Richard’s brother Anthony, but it’s only at the end do we see the true horror of what happened. It’s akin to being sucker punched in the stomach emotionally. Disturbing, sad and it will stay with you for a while. Director Shane Meadows is known for his bleak unflinching drama and here he really pulls out the stops to leave us mentally drained.
This is what drama should be. You can keep your romances and tween story. I’ll take this – British film-making at it’s best. Highly reccommended
BONUS: Paddy Considine appears in the following Music Videos
Moloko – ‘ Familiar Feeling ‘
Coldplay – ‘ God Put A Smile Upon Your Face ‘

Cast: Russell Crowe ( Ben Wade ) Christian Bale ( Dan Evans ) Logan Lerman ( William Evans ) Dallas Roberts ( Grayson Butterfield ) Ben Foster ( Charlie Prince ) Peter Fonda ( Byron McElroy ) Alan Tudyk ( Doc Potter ) Gretchen Mol ( Alice Evans )
Rancher Dan Evans heads into Bisbee to clear up issues concerning the sake of his land when he witnesses the closing events of a stagecoach robbery led by famed outlaw Ben Wade. Shortly thereafter, Wade is captured by the law in Bisbee and Evans finds himself one of the escorts who will take Wade to the 3:10 to Yuma train in Contention for the reward of $200. Evans’s effort to take Wade to the station is in part an effort to save his land but also part of an inner battle to determine whether he can be more than just a naive rancher in the eyes of his impetuous and gunslinging son William Evans. The transport to Contention is hazardous and filled with ambushes by Indians, pursuits by Wade’s vengeful gang and Wade’s own conniving and surreptitious demeanor that makes the ride all the more intense.
So I’ll be honest with you. There’s 3 main reasons I wanted to watch this film:
Yeah. Uh huh. So not being a huge fan of westerns I thought I’d give it a try anyway. I was absolutely stunned. This film had me hooked from the very start. The performances were absolutely outstanding. Say what you like about Russell Crowe, but there’s no denying he’s a fantastic actor. His Ben Wade, is mesmerising and Crowe owns every scene he appears in. Christian Bale also gives a great performance, and excellent support comes from Ben Foster as Wade’s right hand man - pure evil - and young jailbait upcoming actor Logan Lerman as Bales older son.
In a film based strongly on morals, it would have been easy to make this a simple ” Goodies and Baddies ” movie but 3:10 To Yuma is so much more. Incredible action scenes, rich storytelling and a shock ending make this more than worthy of your time. Highly recommended
And if you think its shit? There’s this to fap over
