Need opinions and suggestions on some ML movies

Canadian Cutie · 04 Feb 2009, 08:00

I just ordered Wishcraft,Chasing Ghosts,Trapped,Extreme Dating and Crazy in Alabama and was wondering if anyone has seen these and if he has main parts in them or bit parts?
I am starting to find good deals on these movies on DVD thanks to the great list of movies he has been in by a poster whom took the time to go into great detail in this forum.
I found Trapped in Pal format but my laptop will play all regions of DVD's and I have found that movie is hard to find and it appears he may have a main role in it and the plot sounds really interesting.
So far I have
-Roadie
-Rustin
-Blacktop
-Formula 51
-Black Dog
-Pelts

If I am missing any really good ones,please could you let me know the title and the plot and also could I get opinions on the ones I mentioned above that I have ordered so I can get an idea of what to expect.
I have heard Crazy in Alabama is excellent and Extreme Dating is hilarious due to a YT clip of him locked out of his house with a naked woman in nothing but boxers and his car is dead and he is waiting for CAA when he meets up with a huge bear..lol
I can't wait to see what other scenes he has in that movie and hope he is a main character!

Thanks everyone for reading this and all advice and opinions are really appreciated.

why dont you check IMDB for that?

Yeah I just got Extreme Dating, and it is fairly funny, that scene by the car was a classic. A Hold In One, Focus and Pleasure Drivers are also good, though he isn't in Pleasure Drivers much. I really liked Trapped as well, for a change he played a really decent man rather than a nasty like he usually does.

The first positive comment I've ever seen regarding Pleasure Drivers.

Thank God!

I wouldn't have endured the weird plot and the presence of Daphne and that annoying lesbian killer for more than ten minutes, too.

Thanks for your suggestions and reviews.
I would go to IMDB but they just give a generic run down of cast and plot so I felt more comfortable asking my fellow friends here who are Meat fans and not some critic or whatever at IMDB that wouldn't know how long Meat appears in each film nor which is some of his best work.
Thanks again and I just bought Focus because I heard he was good in it.
I also have A hole in one which I forgot to list.It was a rather odd plot but Meat brightened it up quite a bit with his humour,bad boy image and playing golf in the house..lol

Thanks again

He appears several times in these movies, as far as I remember. He has a leading part in Trapped. Crazy in Alabama is very good, the others are not great but yet entertaining.

The Mighty is also worth watching but Meat has only a minor role in it.

One of his best performances was in Fight Club, in my opinion.

I just found Leap of Faith,which is really hard to find on DVD and hope I win and bought the movie where he plays Jack Black's father is Tenacious D Pick of Destiny.I have seen screen caps and it looks hilarious but not sure how long his part is in the movie and The Mighty but just read Sarge's comment that he has a minor role..grrrr

carole · 04 Feb 2009, 23:08

On the IMDB board a lot of us have been giving reviews of his various movies, not just the critics, so it's worth a look. It's interesting because different people have a different perspective on things. Meat was very good in Fight Club, but I found it to be totally weird and really didn't get it at all.

Unfortunately, that's the case with most of his movies. But The Mighty is pretty good anyway. I hope he'll get a leading part in a very good movie some day and stops wasting himself on Uwe Boll movies, for example. In interviews, he often stresses in how many flicks he has appeared so far but I believe it's more important to have a good role in a good movie. I think he's a very good actor who doesn't deserve a filmography which mainly consists of B and C movies. More quality than quantity, please.

He has a tiny role in the mighty but i thought it was an ok film.

I really lliked Trapped, nice role for him and he played it well.

Pleasure drivers i stopped watching because imo it was utter drivel.

Crazy in Alabama was ok, wouldnt exactly reccomend it but Meat has a sizeable role and its just a nice watch.

Hope that helps..but hey everyone is different so theyre all worth watching if you get a good enough deal just to find out for yourself
