Only when it works, when it doesnt, its terribly dull.
Thanks I've been spare from those.
I didn't watch enough English film at the first place.
But so far most that I watch Trainspotting, Hot Fuzz, Shawn of the Dead, This is England, Cash Back etc are all very well made films to my liking.
Even some france movies that I only understand by reading subtitles.
But just that their humor are just so natural that need no jim carey face to pull off and it cames so naturally like life itself that need no attempt.

I thought Lock, Stock And 2 Smoking Barrels was boring. I just don't understand Richie's brain

Well. I think it was brilliant and literary not a single second I felt boring.
It's original, sophisticated, witty, lively and I can sit there whole day listening to the British cockney slang and funny conversation.
I think it's a very well combination of story, music, camera works, editing, acting and directing, especially in snatch. Although snatch has no originality to speak off as it is basically a remake a LSA2SB with a bigger budget and some tuning to please the American dudes.
Just never thought a gangster flick could be made this way, an eye opener.

Added on March 28, 2008, 6:01 pmu got a good taste as me...
try Before Sunrise 1996 and Before Sunset 2004 (in order). it got 100% rating in rotten tomato. Great screenplay! best romantic movie so far.nothing cheesy about it
I'd say I have a common taste, common good taste maybe.

(what is that really?)
What I like most are graded highly by most people.
But yeah, i will try these two.
It's a shame I totally missed them all these years.
