Since we're at it the last movie I saw was on late one night recently and it was our old friend Brosnan in The Lawnmower Man. It was the first big computer generated masterpiece of it's time but nearly 20 years on looks horribly outdated. There was a lot of discussion about how innovative it was at the time but now looks all a bit silly, one of Brosnan's 'films to forget' outside of his James Bond work
See Arnold Run 4.5/6 (at least it has guts to portray the real person......not fiction like Dragon Bruce Lee story)
Some good fu films :
Rumble in Bronx
Police Story III (see , not every #3 is bad ;)
Wheels on Meals
Chinese Hercules
Man of Iron
When TKD Strikes aka Sting of Dragon Masters
Hapkido
Broken Oath
One Armed Swordsman
Ninja Strikes Back (no plot whatsoever but darn fun......Sakata in his next last role)
Enter the Game of Death (actually closer to Lee's original plot than Game '78)
Fist of Fury II and III (Lo Lieh in #2 and Paul Wei in #3)
No the fast and the furious would just be like Point Break but with cars instead of surfboards.:!!
I prefer Point Break easily of the two.
Yeah that is true. Though as a petrol head i think i lean slightly more towards F&F - plus of course it has our favourite henchman, Zao, in another acting masterclass.
- I never believed that this film would be as great as I found it to be!
I am a 15 year old lad, and a friend recommended it to me, so I finally decided to sit down and watch it, three days ago.
And since, I have watched it THREE times! It is such a fun, sad, entertaining and emotional film that i just simply Adore! Even after tonight's viewing (third viewing), I still want to re-watch it! (For a fourth time in a row, and that hasn't happened to me since the release of Inception!)
- Easily one of my favourite movies of all time!

It was OK i guess, considering the reviews it got I did expect more, the first 20 minutes give you the impression we are in for a cracker but then it gets wrapped up in style over substance and impressive cast is squandered. Great 80's flavoured score which reminds you of Michael Mann, director Nicholas Winding Refn is clearly influenced by him but despite similar visual flourishes no one photographs L.A quite like the Mann and for all the efforts of Newton Thomas Siegel cinematography feels like a poor Mann's Heat!
And I saw The Artist last week which I loved.
Somehow I don't think it was the filmakers intention for Chandler to come across as the most dim witted private detective.
Dracula II: Ascension
Dracula III: Legacy
The Enforcer (Dirty Harry)
First time I've seen this in eons, Yes it has an ageing Connery in it but I didn't tune in to watch ex-Bond personnel. Ending's a bit dull and over too quickly. Queen supply the music. Seems all a bit dated from a 21st century perspective
There can be only one etc
The Dead Pool
Unforgiven
I thought point break was alot better. The bad guys in f n f aren't even worthy to wipe the arses of the ex-presidents (RIP patrick swayze, aka bhodi). I remember the 1st time I watched fast n furious, I thought straight away "point break with cars". As much as I love cars I have to go with point break because of the skydiving, and it was original. I like some of the fast n furious films though, like tokyo drift and fast 5.
Anyway, last film I watched was south park: bigger, longer and uncut (prize for anybody who realises what the title means). Its immature, mad and disgusting but I love it.
Also saw speed 2 not long ago. Best speed parody ever.
I don't know that much about the character execpt that there were books or comcs written in the 1970's (?) and a even a PS2 game, so i'm not sure if I was the target audience. For an action film running just shy of 2 hours, I don't think there was quite enough to keep me interested. Though there were 3 standout scenes; the opening car chase (like QOS but much better edited), the bathroom fight and the plane/freefall fight sequence.
Oorlogswinter (Winter of War) - A Dutch movie about the last months of WOII in Dutch occupied territory in which a kid finds a downed and injured British pilot. In a month time he finds his world changed as well as his ideas. I watched with my daughters who are currently busy with this period in history lessons on school. Afterward we watched the accompanying documentary "The Hunger winter" that made an even bigger impression on the two especially the real pictures and moviereels. Tomorrow it is time for Anne Frank.
The original title was going to be called 'Insomnia in Indianapolis', but they figured audiences wouldn't turn up, so they changed it at the last moment
I guess only Spillane could come up with the dialogue in this film.
Despite the many reviews saying that this was the worst M:I movie of the series, I rather did enjoy it to be honest! There was so much epic, explosive, adreneline fueled action in the second half that I could barely keep still! The plot was certainly a step down from the first Mission Impossible, but I didn't find the plot to be a ruining factor at all. And let me say this: that fight at the end between Hunt and Ambrose is one of the most intense, manly fights I've ever scene!
Gotta admit. Gave this a re-watch last month after MI:GP and have to say it was much better than I remembered. Its so.. unique, kind of like QoS, you cant help but like parts of it. The 'native' sounding song at the beginning is so random, but so catchy and kind of.. fitting. The bike chase is mesmerizing, and I love the supsended reality sequence where we get multiple angles of the same stunt where Hunt shoots while doing a stoppy on the bike. Brilliant film. Still 4th on my list of the films, but better than most others. I can watch MI2 more than I can the Bourne series. :P
Yeah, one of my friends got me to watch the first Bourne movie, and I really didn't like it. Way too much government/agent stuff, not enough fun!
Inglourious Basterds
Jackie Brown
Johnny English Reborn
Good picks.
LOL. Not enough fun. The man has no memory of his life and you want him to have fun?! No offense, but think of the context of the films.
