Have not seen them.
That’s how I felt about the Paranormal Activity films.
I only saw one of those, but yes.
Silly now of course but damn that sure made it scary back then! That was the scariest ‘sleep over’ movie around
I have definitely two more films in my Neeson Action Retrospect though I am thinking at some point I will pick up The Commuter and I have to say this is a surpisingly been a lot of fun look many can argue his best work is schindler's list or he should of been Bond over Brosnan but my opinion I love this series of action films murder mysteries
Pros
I like the action
I like the feel and not being sure who to trust
Cons
its a bit too political toward the end
He is kind of stupid though playing into the villains plan
Overall I rank it just under taken

Pretty Woman :x ( One of my all time favorite chick flicks)
Geostorm DUMB!!!! Thankfully it was a cheap rental.
I saw about 30 minutes of the first Sharknado and saw all I needed to see. Terrible, terrible trash.
Not far wrong it was on Netflix I put it on whilst I was doing some work, sometimes dumb films can be unintentionally amusing, not this time.
The 2nd time I have watched it and it is still as good.
What a difference a good cast makes -Paul Newman,Tom Hanks,Jude Law(really creepy),Daniel Craig,StanleyTucci,and Newman's score is excellent,why couldn't he do this with Bond !!??
And this :
I went in expecting the worst with this,as all I have heard is 'rubbish' ,'boring','crap' etc but I really enjoyed it.
Great pace and not at all boring !
I haven't read the books so maybe not knowing what it is supposed to be like let me watch it with an open mind.
Same here, very underwhelmed. I went to see it on my birthday I think. When it ended (actually the best bit) someone behind me said…'well that was a waste of effing time!' I had to agree. Was hoping for so much, but for me it fell a little flat. Yet a friend of mine when she saw it said it was terrifying…each to their own.
What's not so great is the crime story, with a rather far-fetched twist at the end. German viewers will recognise a large number of nationally famous movie (and later TV) stars of the pre- and post-war decades: Hans Söhnker as the title character, Paul Dahlke, a relatively young Inge Meysel (who later earned the honorary moniker of being "the nation's mother" for playing so many mother roles on TV), and a bunch of others, including the lady in the image below:
A personal note: What made me buy and watch this particular movie is that it was filmed in the town where I live, a 2,000-people village south of Hamburg. A former UFA scriptwriter with good connections to the British Occupation Zone administration, Rolf Meyer, got the permission to build film studios and start producing movies in 1948. So the little town of Bendestorf became one of the birthplaces of the post-war German movie industry and for a while was jokingly called "Heide-Hollywood" for the nearby Lüneburger Heide (Lüneburg Heath). A few notable "international" productions included Richard Lester's How I Won The War with John Lennon, and Ronald Neame's The Odessa File, starring Jon Voight. After the studios' luck ran out over the past decades, they were mostly demolished just this spring.
Mommy (2014)
The second Xavier Dolan movie I've seen and even better than the first. The (nowadays) unusual aspect ratio felt weird for a short time, then I forgot all about it. A wonderful cast. The story is about a single mother with a son with some behavioural disorders. Liked this a lot.
Jack Goes Boating (2010)
The first - and sadly the last - movie Philip Seymor Hoffman directed. He plays the lead as well, a shy driver who struggles a bit with people, in a process of startng a relationship.
What Happened To Monday (2017)
Dystopian sci-fi. Noomi Rapace plays seven sisters in a society where only one child is allowed. Might have been interesting. Wasn't. Towards the end really, really bad.
Kiss Of The Spider Woman (1985)
Two people share a prison cell in Brazil. Raúl Juliá plays a political prisoner and William Hurt plays a transgender woman who entertains them both by describing scenes from a romantic Nazi propaganda film. Kinda good, but ultimately I didn't like it.
Nine (2009)
The movie looks good and the cast is impressive (Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Marion Cotillard, Sophia Loren, etc.), and there's plenty effort, but ultimately... It just looks messy and feels empty.
Rush (2013)
Daniel Bruhl and Chris Hemsworth as competing F1 drivers Niki Lauda and James Hunt. This was, surprisingly, quite good.
To Die For (1995)
A Gus Van Sant movie about an ambitious young woman (Nicole Kidman) who has decided to become famous. Pretty good.
Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)
A woman (Kathy Bates) is told a story in a nursing home by an elderly resident (Jessica Tandy) about lives of two friends played by Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary-Louise Parker. Pretty good.
The Hudsucker Proxy (1994)
A Coen brothers movie about a newcomer (Tim Robbins) who gets promoted to run the company in an effort to get the stock price fall so that the board members can buy the company. Let's just say this isn't among the Coens' best work.
Moulin Rouge! (2001)
I thought I liked this, but if so, then apparently not anymore. I had forgotten the director, but it looked, felt and sounded so much like Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby that I had to pause to check... Baz Luhrmann? Yes. Okay then... The guy really likes garish colours and modern pop music in period pieces, eh?
The Tree (2010)
A drama where a tree takes over the lives and the house of a family. An okay movie.
Good Bye, Lenin! (2003)
Daniel Bruhl as the lead, a son whose mother was in a coma during the collapse of the Berlin Wall and all. When she wakes up he gets told by a doctor that her life is still at risk and she must be kept calm, so he decides to pretend that life is as it used to be, which becomes a huge effort. Good.
Assault On Precinct 13 (1976)
Good for what it is - simply an assault on a near abandoned police station by barely human-like people.
The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)
Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood who plays a bit of a jerk like usual.
It wasn't even funny, though. It was horrifically bad across the board.
Not as good as the hype would have you believe but an entertaining and different Marvel film. Pretty good backstory and visuals but as per usual with a lot of these films it succumbs to CGI overkill by the end and i lost interest.
And why do all these hero's have to have a hi-tec suit like Iron Man?
Bit of a jerk as usual ?
What do you mean,gal ?
This 1928 silent movie is without a doubt my favourite Buster Keaton film ever. I've already had the honour of seeing this film in theatres (with live piano!) and couldn't keep my stuff together. I was laughing that hard. And I mean: genuinely laughing with the movie. Seeing it again on home video, it doesn't lose any of its power. It remains an excellent comedy film, like they don't make them anymore.
They sure don't, brilliant film! Up there with Sherlock Jr. and Seven Chances as my favourite Keaton films.
Shocking comments eh ? @bondsum ?
Clint = jerk ??!!!
Clint = legend .
It is.
