The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
1999 | Drama, Mystery

"My favorite movie is The Talented Mr. Ripley. “Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy — Tommy.” Philip Seymour Hoffman was crazy. Jude Law was just great. I don’t like what he did, but it was just the whole running-around-Europe-loving-jazz [thing]. That was very interesting to me. He didn’t want to do his father’s business. He just wanted to love jazz. He was free enough to do it and be content. I think Matt Damon was very interesting. Just to be so conniving and to steal identities and money. Jude Law was so naive for a while and then he realized Damon was a moocher. It was kind of weird how quickly someone could be deceived when they’re caught up in their own world."

Jude Law as the villain
Conor McGregor as the King Arthur lookalike
Loved the retelling of King Arthur's story. You could also notice Guy Richie was the director, as he used his famous story-telling scene, same as the one he used in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Its ok film but not fantastic great fight scenes but did really need david beckham cameo in some places it felt like a medieval lock stock and smoking barrels charlie hunnam plays arthur well not sure jude law was not quite suited to play the villian. In the end just not worth a second viewing

It was OK, I did watch the whole film although the ending was guessed about half way through and there are plenty of films out there with similar plot lines. The suspense music does not really work and of course they had to put some lines in as to why Jude Law had an English accent because he can't do any others.

Great
It's a great movie with a great cast, Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, Jude Law etc brilliant acting and mostly very funny. It does change moods half way through which is where the films get a bit let down for me as an abundance of swearing then begins which I feel does spoil alot of what could be very funny moments.

This film is saved by Kate Winslet and Jack Black, I just love their understated relationship and how it develops, their characters seem genuine and I root for them every time! Cameron Diaz overacts her role, I am not a lover of Jude Law and the scenes with his children are twee. Nevertheless in the UK this film is on every Christmas and I watch it every Christmas!
  
Dom Hemingway (2014)
Dom Hemingway (2014)
2014 | Comedy, Drama
Dom Hemingway’ is a dark comedy-crime drama movie written and directed by Richard
Shepard (better known for directing the pilot episode of Ugly Betty) and stars
Jude Law, Emilia Clarke, Richard E. Grant, and Demian Bichir.

Dom (Jude Law) is a foul-mouthed, short-tempered, and reckless master safe cracker who
is returning to the streets after 12 years in prison. Intent on collecting his reward for
keeping silent while in prison and fueled by massive amounts of alcohol, drugs, and his
massive ego, Dom and his best friend/partner in crime Dickie (Richard E. Grant) travel
though the British and French country sides to rendevous with Dom’s former employeer
Mr. Fontaine. Shortly thereafter though, Don arrives at the conclusion that no amount
of money can replace what hes’ lost and that his one and only priority is to
seek out his long-lost daughter Evelyn (Emilia Clarke).

Now, this movie is definitely a departure from Jude Law’s previous movies. Imagine him
if he were to gain 29 lbs., dress like an evil ‘Fonz’, and then join ‘Motorhead’.
THAT .. is the Jude Law you get to see in this movie. It’s dark, but fun at the same time.
Most definitely NOT something kids should see. It’s full-speed ahead with sex, drugs,
and rock & roll. When the movie does put on the brakes, it slams on the brakes hard!
Watching the character try to acclimate to the world after 12 years in prison and make
peace with his daughter and her family … it’s like watching a champion’s league
soccer match. One minute one team has it, the next minute the other team has it….
You honestly don’t know what’s going to happen next. Me? Personally? I got a kick out of
this one. My only beef is the way the movie ended … if I told you why though, i’d
be spoiling the movie. For that reason, I give the film 3 out of 5 stars.
Again, a great movie … Dark … but also funny. But the ending? It came just too soon.

The science!
Didn't realise this was going to become non-fiction
Contains spoilers, click to show
I used to love this film as I like the fact the science was quite good. I like Kate Winslet's character and her difficulties in attempting to explain the severity of the situation to politicians. I like the ending where it shows how the virus jumped to humans. I found that I wanted the punch Jude Law throughout the film but am glad that he at least wasn't completely able to get away with it.

I don't quite get all the hatred for this film. It's not brilliant by any means and is a bit draggy at times but I was still entertained enough to want to see how it ended. Blake Lively looking as unglamorous and as a far away from 'Gossip Girl' as can possibly be puts in a very good performance in the lead role and I liked her relationship with Jude Law. Overall it's not bad but I probably wouldn't be in a hurry to watch it again.
