I liked Goon a lot.
Coulda been a classic if they had made it more of a 'dramedy' about an older guy on his way out of the league and a young guy trying to make a name for himself. The Liev Schreiber character shoulda been given a lot more screen time.
definately agree. Schreiber's Ross "The Boss" Rhea great hockey character
haven't seen Tree Lounge BUT another excellent movie on the subject is poet/author Charles Bukowski's 1987 semi-autobiography Barfly with Mickey Rourke as Henry (based on Bukowski) and Faye Dunaway as Wanda his love interest. it's one of Rourke's better acted movies probably because in the mid 1980's he was pretty much living the drugged out alcoholic lifestyle.
watched John Carter (2012) last night. decent SciFi action drama based on the author Edgar Rice Burroughs first book of his "Barsoom" (his fictional name for Mars) series "A Princess of Mars" kind of goofy in spots BUT it's pretty much non-stop action and has the luscious Lynn Collins as the Martian Princess-Warrior Dejah Thoris, Carter's love interest.
IF you like Sci-Fi fantasy movies like "Thor" or "Avatar", you would probably enjoy it. I would say one on a scale of three.
