Nah it's the one with Hogan and Mr. T
|
Yeah, then do 4 with Lundgren.
Stallone told Dolph Lundgren to hit him for real so he could get some good action shots during filming. Dolph didn't want to but Stallone kept asking so he finally did and Stallone had to go to the hospital. He punched him once... in the chest... |
Bill & Ted Face The Music - 6/10
|
Started watching Before Sunrise as I try to stay awake. Ethan Hawke looks so handsome. Will finish tomorrow.
|
I fell in love with Julie Delpy whilst watching Before Sunrise, and again during Before Sunset.
I think Before Midnight is my favourite of the trilogy; all the whimsy is removed and just turns dark as Hawke and Delpy tear into one another with all their bottled-up frustrations etc. |

Watching some John Lovitz flick called "High School High".
The sight gags are tits. Some guy had a car chase in his hair and there was a bout of forced pipe smoking. Funny stuff so far. He can't change his radio off a rap song lol |
John Lovitz is mad funny.
Think his face is perfect for "WTF" |
His story in Rat Race is still one of my favourite things ever. He turns into Hitler FFS...
|
I Am Mother-7/10
Futuristic thriller where a lone droid raises what you're initially led to believe the only human on earth, until Hillary Swank shows up and begins to plant doubt in the robot raised young lady's head. Things pick up from there with the story leading you in different directions about what exactly is going on, building to a rather grim ending. |
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure - 8/10 def saw it as a kid but remembered like nothing of it..... was pretty good... can clearly see why/how it became a cult classic
Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey - 6.5/10 again def saw it as a kid but remembered pretty much nothing of it... except that as a kid I liked the first one more. |

Nah he's alright actually...
But he'd better watch it... |
Uncle Peckerhead: 5.5/10

Bill & Ted Face the Music - 7.5/10 Was enjoyable enough.
|
Magnificent Seven - 3.5 out of 5
Was a very good Western action film although it did drag a bit at times. |
Bill & Ted face the music: 7/10

Yeah the remake.
Never saw the original so I didn't have a basis for comparison and the last Western film I remember watching was the remake of True Grit around a decade ago. The film could have benefited by being around 15-30 minutes less since the over 2 hour run time didn't really help its flow or pacing at times. |
Guns Akimbo: 8/10
|
Underworld 7/10
Early 2000s action film, with the era's penchant for leather outfits intact. I've seen parts of it in the past, but never the full film. I'm going to watch the others in the series, as most are free on Prime. |
There are sooo many movies in that series and you are the first person ever that I have known to have actually watched any of them
|
i like the 1st two
|
i have a soft slot for the vampire genre
|
am I misremembering or did they spin off the Lycan side of the movie for its own movie?
I might have been thinking of Rise of the Lycans |
Drowning By Numbers - 3/4
Peter Greenaway with another artistic, stylish series of images telling a story that is held together by a framing device so strange that I'm convinced it is too smart for its own good. Everything I have seen of Peter Greenaway is far, far too smart for its own good. Like when you play someone legit at pool and they just beast you right off the bat so many times they have to do trick shots with their non dominant arm to keep it fun. I get the story for the most part, but the numbers and the games are all beyond me right now. I think I have a lot of rewatching to do and a lot of reading. I did enjoy it though, I just don't really trust myself to articulate why until I understand it better or confirm that what I do believe is actually true. Peter Greenaway has walked into my bathroom and made me shy to pee. |
Possibly my favourite instrumental of all time. I know it from The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover but it was prevalent in Drowning By Numbers too. It's absolutely beautiful. |
Was alright.

I preferred the sequel to the original. Kate Beckinsale is also ridiculously hot. |

I love the Underworld movies. Granted I've only seen up to Rise of The Lycans.

Critters - 7/10
Critters 2 - 7.5/10 Critters 3 - 6/10 Critters 4 - 5/10 Critters Attack - 6.5/10 |
Wow, where did Critters 4 go off the rails?
|
Not enough Critters I'll bet
|
Critters 4 is the Rocky 5 of the Critters franchise. I bet one of them wears fingerless gloves and a fedora and they play rap music during fight scenes.
|
Rocky 5 still an above average movie though.
Two of its main cast are now dead and neither is Burt Young. They were young though. Just not Burt Young. |
I liked Rocky V
|
Yeah it's not Rocky 3 though is it
|
Underworld Rise of the Lycans 6.8/10
Standard action film; I didn't really see the point to this prequel, as it didn't really expand upon what was already mentioned in the previous two films. |
Underworld: Awakening 6/10
Blah, but somewhat entertaining. I don't think I'll watch the fifth film, Blood Wars, unless it becomes free on Prime. |
Parasite-10/10
Funny, sad, intense, and touching all in one movie about a dirt poor family conning a rich family into hiring them into different, unrelated roles, with all kinds of shenanigans to follow. |
Tenet 7/10
I wasn't sure what was going on a lot of the time, mainly because the dialogue seemed to be muffled by the incidental music. This seems to be a regular issue for Nolan films; whomever does his audio mixing should be fired. |
Wondered if that was only me....
|
I remember it being terrible for that in Interstellar
|
Tenet-7/10 (for now)
There's a really interesting, engaging, thought provoking movie about agents and villains manipulation of time buried under a never ending bombardment of sound, base and movie score. I found myself wanting to be engaged and enthralled in this movie, but fuck me was a lot of dialogue lost on me. The other issue, which up till Interstellar seemed like a Nolan strength were characters, character interaction and chemistry. Here, it takes about the whole movie to reveal who the characters are. Nolan keeps everything about the main players close to the chest until the end. I haven't seen Dunkirk, but I've seen everything before it. This might be the movie I enjoyed the least. That said, once it's up for home viewing and I can put on subtitles, i think I'll enjoy much more. |

This pretty much played right into my fears as to why I'm not having kids. The idea of being trapped in what you're "supposed to be doing" is horrifying to me. Work for years on end just to be stuck in this endless cycle where you raise some brat kid and then you die. Bleak af. |
It is a pretty remarkable piece of cinema. You should chase it up with "The Art Of Self Defense" for more Poots/Eisenberg brilliance.

Subway (1985) - 6.5/10
Luc Besson's first film. It's visually pleasing to look at and the soundtrack/score is rather good but the plot isn't much and the characters don't have any growth or change. |
This was probably my favorite scene in Subway.

if only one of them had sang WAP...so close to the perfect film

Just completed Netflix's "The Social Dilemma". While it is corny in parts, it certainly worth indulging for the good parts. I would like to believe that most of y'all are aware of what it is trying to convey. 5.5/10

Get ready for a real life 500 days of Summer, lads.

Becky 7/10
It was really hard to buy Kevin James as a Neo Nazi ex con. Lulu Wilson was a crazy bitch who I could actually see getting the better of James. Kurrigan was pretty good in this despite his lack of ability. I did Mark out when he did Chokeslam a 14 year old girl |
Just started watching "The Killing Of A Sacred Deer" on Netflix. It looks very promising.
|
This film was something else. Colin Farrell was fantastic. 9/10
|
Waiting for the Barbarians 7.5/10
Stars Mark Rylance, Johnny Depp and Robert Pattinson Set at the frontier of an empire that has a late C19th French colonial look, with Rylance as the local magistrate. Johnny Depp's character is sent to the outpost by the government to find an excuse to start a conflict with the local nomadic people (the barbarians) and starts torturing the locals for information. Rylance comes across a nomad woman who has been left disabled after being tortured and eventually takes her back to her people. On his return, he is accused or treachery and is tortured, before Depp goes off to fight the nomads. It is a slow, quiet film and not much happens, but I found myself engrossed in it. |
High Life 6.5/10
Odd |
Curse of Chucky-5/10
An attempt to eliminate the comedic aspect of the series and be a more serious, horror driven film was a good idea but poorly executed imo. They go for the slow burn, so everything takes it time, including the eventual reveal. But they play almost too close to the chest, and really take their time getting to the point where Chucky is knocking people off. The kill scenes are also kinda boring. The deaths themselves are not fun or gory and pretty whatever. The film does so an ok job of tying Chucky's past with this particular family. Overall I wish it as more over the top in its death sequences and wasn't so reserved. |
My Robert Pattinson theme continues, though he doesn't feature much in the following film.
Maps to the Stars 6.7/10 A scathing satire of the Hollywood scene, which focuses mainly on a family that are part of that culture and the return of their schizophrenic daughter. It's a tad bonkers, increasingly so as you venture further into the film. |
Jojo Rabbit - 9/10
Pretty sure Taika Waititi is icapable of making something that isn't just flat out great. |
Always be my Maybe-7/10
Ali Wong and Asian Jim star in a funny but predictable romantic comedy about 2 best friends who have a falling out but are suddenly reunited with funny shenanigans to follow. Keanu Reeves steals the show in the middle of the movie as a pretentious wind bag. Also, the original Shredder, James Saito, plays a very loveable dad. |
Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion 5/10
|
Romy and Michelle was dope back in the day.
A great film. |
Mad Max-8/10
A dwindling economy and scarcity of resources plays the backdrop in a film about a cop named Max who is pushed beyond his breaking point as a group of nomad bikers weak havoc and cause huge personal losses to Max's life, causing him to snap and seek revenge. I wasn't expecting the movie to be in a apocalyptic world. I was expecting more of Fury Road as far as the backdrop and aesthetics. But it was compelling nonetheless, with engaging car chases that are enhanced by practical stunts and set pieces. |
Ford v. Ferrari 8.5/10
Just woke up this morning in the hotel room and it was playing, kept me entertained enough that I didn't fall back asleep. |
Mad Max Fury Road-9/10
2 hour post apocalyptic adrenaline rush. The jump from the first film to this one as far as backdrop goes wasn't jarring at all. The action sequences are enthralling. There's some cgi trickery going on of course, but, like the original, everything still feels and looks authentic and tangible, which only helps make the movie that much more enjoyable. Have to shout out the score as well. It was appropriately manic, with a nice little hero motif thrown in. Apparently there was some legal issue going on between George Miller's production company and Warner Bros, which stalled any sequels. But I'd gladly take another. One other side note. It is blatantly obvious that Becky Lynch, at least during her steam punk gimmick days, ripped that schtick right out of this movie from one of the wives named Capable. |

Damian what do you think "apocalyptic" means? |
If somebody says "apocalyptic" to me I literally go straight to barren deserts with psychopaths driving souped up cars through them.
Maybe that's just me though. |
The town and city centres of Scotland come to mind when I think of the word "apocalyptic"....
|
They have been used repeatedly in films of that nature right enough...
|
Pretty sure they used Glasgow for World War Z
|
Quote:

Either way Mad Max is always in an apocalyptic scenario
|
Well yeah I've known that for years. What I didn't expect was the first one to be set in relatively modern times. I expected the back drop to be more along the lines of fury road.
|
Well it had to start somewhere. To be fair the next three films are all different versions of the same story.
BTW Karl Urban should have been Mad Max after Mel got too old. I still think replacing Mel was bullshit. |
Mel kinda did it to himself. I love Tom Hardy. Thought he was fine. I'm a huge Urban fan. Would've loved to see him in it.
|
Karl Urban is one of the greats. He can lead, support or pad out a cast and I bet there aren't any actors out there who don't love working with the guy.
He's just top class in everything. |
Watched Star Trek Beyond the other day and he's a damn good McCoy. Then seeing him in the Boys. The range.

Mad Max 2: Road Warrior-8/10
Opening montage/recap made it feel a little like a soft reboot. Read later WB dubbed the lines of the original, it didn't fare well, and decided to just call the second one "Road Warrior", having act as a stand alone. It works. The world is officially post apocalyptic and gas is now it's only resource. A peaceful tribe has been able to pump and produce its own fuel, whileLord Humongous and his wild tribe have been actively trying to overthrow them and take over their compound. Max finds himself in that middle, trying to secure fuel himself. Like the last one, the stunts for their time are extreme, loud, tangible and well done. Everything hits with heft and comes off as brutal and violent. The movie is mostly a chase scene and the editing is well done. I find myself a huge fan of this series withone more to go. |
