"Action Jackson" (1988)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AvMn2Vh0fQ

 

Carl "Apollo Creed" Weathers stars in this funky '80s actioner as a Detroit cop tangling with a psychotic motor-company magnate (Craig T. Nelson) who's been murdering his competitors. Female lead and R&B singer Vanity can't act worth a lick but she looks good, as does a pre-famous Sharon Stone as Nelson's ultimately-doomed wife.

 

Not a classic for the ages by any means, but a fun watch in a retro sort of way.

The Guns of Navarone....classic war movie

Classic? I've never even heard of it.

 

your kidding???????

 

If he isn't kidding then he must not watch any movie older than himself... :lol:

Never heard of 'The Guns Of Navarone'?!

OMG you're a baby...

 

 

I usually pride myself in having watched many classic films, but haven't seen that one. Admittedly I generally avoid war films as they're usually carbon copies of each other. I mean, I have seen "A Bridge Too Far," "The Bridge on the River Kwai," "The Great Escape" and a few others. How many more do I need to see?

Let me ask you this: have you seen "Citizen Kane," "Dr. Strangelove," "Forbidden Planet," "Kind Hearts and Coronets," "The Lady Killers," "Ocean's 11," "Rebel Without A Cause," "Scarface (1932)," or "Touch of Evil"? If you answered 'no' to any of those, then you can't get on my case for not having seen "The Guns of Navarone." And just to please you ladies, I have it downloading at the moment.

 

 

Hehe, you're missing the point FunkOMaster. HEARD. Not SEEN. :hammer:

 

 

I'm not even sure if I've watched the whole of 'The Guns Of Navarone' but you can bet your ass that I've heard and read about it. ;)

 

 

Mere technicalities.

 

 

 

Read the book, seen the film (several times) ... but I suggest you avoid watching the 'sequel', 'Force 10 From Navarone' ... oh, dear ...

The Road......depressing

 

Captain Horatio Hornblower....another Gregory Peck classic....

The Road is a dark film, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Probably the most realistic depiction of a post-apocalyptic world.

 

As for the Horatio Hornblower series, I haven't seen those in ages. I quite enjoyed those, as well.

Actually I believe you are thinking about a relatively new series on Hornblower. Peck only acted in this one movie about Hornblower and it came out in 1951...and yes the Road was realistic but is was still very depressing stuff...

Ah, yes, the film. I'd like to see how it compares to the series.

Attack The Block

 

Loved the trailers for this one, so had to see it. It wasn't as good as I was expecting; quite slow to get going with a lot of time spent on the characters, who were mostly annoying. The ending was quite ridiculous, but that was in keeping with the rest of the film. Quite a fun film overall, although there should have been a lot more laughs. I do think Jodie Whittaker is a complete milf though, so that's nice.

"976-EVIL" (1988)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcn_0LOdu7o

 

Godawful silly '80s terror trash about a nerdy teen (Stephen Geoffreys, aka "Evil Ed" of "Fright Night" fame) whose calls to a "Horror-scope" fortune telling phone line eventually connect him to Satan himself and transform him into a demonic, homicidal something-or-other who gets even with his tormentors. Cheap looking nonsense directed by Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund, who should've known better.

I loved it, personally.

"I'm shitting myself innit, but at the same time..."

"What?"

"This is sick!"

I could have seen it a while ago, but only added it to my rental list recently.

 

BTW, Karpet - yeah it is fun at times and the characters are reasonably amusing, I just got tired of them quite quickly. You know the main one will turn out 'alright' in the end, if you know what I mean. It's a good effort for what I assume was a relatively low budget and definitely worth a watch.

 

(Just a tip for anyone planning to watch this - don't watch it with my wife. The frequent comments about how rubbish it is get very annoying. Just in case you were considering it, like. ;))

I've seen "Attack the Block" - fun stuff.

 

The only problem for me was being a non-Brit, it took me a while to get a handle on the accents on the main characters. I swear it was a good fifteen minutes into the film before I understood a damn thing any of 'em said. :rofl:

    • Good safe and well with the footage I've seen on news here in Australia it must be scary.
    • I can tell you that at the very least, there are people from FEMA working with some of the local businesses (my employer included) as far as looking at what aid is available to them. On the flip side, I've heard that one of the FEMA directors "got an attitude" with a few folks in the Asheville area and got popped in the mouth. I can't confirm that, just a story that's making the rounds. 
    • Glad you and yours are ok Mike. There's been a lot of buzz on social media about the LACK of response from FEMA and the current admin. Have you seen or heard anything on the ground one way or the other?
    • Not sure if anyone has noticed my absence over the last 10 days, but I've only been able to sign in a few times from work over the course of that period. As some of you may know, on Friday, September 27th, Hurricane Helene slammed into western North Carolina and absolutely devastated this area, leveling entire towns in its path. In my 52 years on this planet, I've never seen destruction like this with my own eyes.  While my home and property were spared any major problems, our road looked like a damn warzone with all the trees and powerlines down. We were literally trapped like rats in a maze for several days, as even though some good samaritans were able to cut their way through the downed trees so we could leave the neighborhood, all roads leading out of this area were closed off, either due to trees and lines down, or due to flooding.   I was out of work for six days, as my employer had no power. We had no power here at the house for 9 days, with it being restored late yesterday evening. We lost several hundred dollars worth of food that thawed out from our fridge and freezers. No hot water after day one, no cell signal for several days, no stores or restaurants open for several days... If it sounds like I'm complaining, I assure you, I am not. I am grateful. My family and friends are blessed, as we're all pretty much back up and running now. While there was some severe flooding here in Morganton just around two miles from my house, overall, it was MILD around here. Once you drive a mere 20 miles up the road to a little town called Old Fort in McDowell County, and everything west from there, it is exponentially worse. Huge chunks of Asheville under water, Chimney Rock literally wiped off the map, Spruce Pine damn near wiped away, small towns with no communication to the outside world with people struggling. It is BAD here in Western NC, and it's going to take a LONG time for things to get back to some semblance of normal for ALOT of people.  I just felt the need to post and let anyone who might have noticed I was MIA that I am fine, but that alot of good people are not. Please keep western North Carolina in your thoughts and prayers, and if that's not your thing, drink one for all of us tonight. Here are a few links that I've shared over the last week on FB that show the devastation around here... https://fb.watch/v331QebVRJ/ https://www.facebook.com/100067755911039/videos/1069274148086583/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ER9b6tv8oj84QuWb/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/9MpnKZUAx4m5oy3y/ All these aerial shots are from around 1-2 miles from my house: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/vux5WpAqeMDcNMhS/ https://fb.watch/v33x13dnTf/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/V6RPz7HiiMhrBsfn/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/vvEuMCm7We6fitZ9/ https://www.facebook.com/share/v/jE1utxkfNLeKEM9S/ Park Rangers in Chimney Rock managed to get the flag raised up again...  
    • I've got a solid top 3 at this point.  At least for me, these 3 are heads and shoulders above everything else: 1.  Kissin' Dynamite 2.  Eclipse 3.  Maverick After that, it's really a hodgepodge of stuff.  New Roses, Daughtry (Only an EP but digging it), Collateral, Sebastian Bach, Judas Priest, Nestor, End Machine.  I'd probably put them in about that order at the moment.  
    • So I was just looking at the new releases I bought from this year, and while there are some new additions to expand from the top 5 I posted earlier this year, to a top 10, all the stuff in my original list are still in the top 10 (although obvs with three months to go, the ones near the bottom could be usurped). Anyway as of now, this is where I am at: 1.       Judas Priest 2.       The Warning 3.       Nek! 4.       Rolling Quartz 5.       Band Maid 6.       April Art 7.       Lipz 8.       Sebastian Bach 9.       Mick Mars 10.   Durbin
    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
    • My brother was playing some of this guy's stuff a few months ago. I only now got around to checking it out for myself. Pretty fuckin' good!
    • Seems these guys are no more   https://sleazeroxx.com/r-i-p-cobrakill-lead-guitarist-randy-white-announces-band-no-longer-exists/
