Really good film. I loved it. Have you seen the trailer for the new Arnie flick? Lemme see if I can dig it up.

[The Rocker]

Bad Teacher

Stolen

 

Action flick with Nick Cage. It was hilarious... in a bad way, but I really enjoyed it.

"Within the Rock" (1996)

Yet another low budget "Alien" wanna-be. In the near future, a team of outer-space miners are sent on a drilling mission to an asteroid and accidentally unleash an ancient carnivorous something-or-other. Predictably cheap mayhem follows. Entertaingly cheesy junk.

 

"King Kong" (1976)

Dino De Laurentiis' lavish energy-crisis era update of the '30s classic sends a team of oil company geologists (led by Charles Grodin, who's at the top of his scenery chewing game) on an exploratory mission to a deserted South Seas isle. When they find a giant ape instead of a massive oil deposit, they attempt to bring him back to New York as a publicity stunt. I'm sure we all know how well THAT works out for everybody.

This sentimental childhood fave has a suitably epic feel and great performances but the special effects (which were pretty hot shit for 1976) haven't aged well AT ALL.

Useless trivia note: this "Kong" was the film debut of future Oscar winner Jessica Lange, who was fiiiiiiiine back in the day.

Brilliant movie! Watched this again because of 'American Hustle' and still one of the best con movies of all time!

^{Lethal Weapon 4 ... I'm guessing that Son No.2 will now start on the Die Hard series}

Make sure he only watches the first 4.

 

A Good Day To Die Hard

 

Complete and utter shite. Appallingly bad way to end this excellent franchise

yeah what a shame, although for me not that completely terrible but definitely a waste of the franchise

[Nightrain]

I love this one, warm and funny, not vulgar and focus on the friendship. Brilliant acting and Kevin Kline steals the show. Recommended !

The Best Man (1999)

 

Much more serious than I was expecting. Especially with the cast they assembled.

Luckily, I've only got the first four ... haven't even seen the last one ...

Watched three over the weekend:

 

"Sherlock Holmes" (2009)

Guy Ritchie reimagines the famed sleuth as a 19th century action hero played by Robert Downey Jr. in this overlong, muddled mystery that's packed with way too much distracting CGI. Jude Law is great as Holmes' long-suffering companion, Dr. Watson and there are few fun action bits but overall this was a disappointment. It mightve been better if the lead roles were reversed and Law played Holmes while Downey played Watson.

 

"The Taking of Pelham 123" (2009)

Hijackers take a New York City subway train hostage and while the city scrambles to come up with the $10 million ransom, the gang's leader (John Travolta) plays a series of head games with a Transit Authority dispatcher (Denzel Washington) over the radio. This remake of a '70s flick descends into typical action-movie nonsense in its last quarter but up till then it's a decent suspense thriller with nice performances by John and Denzel.

 

"A Talking Cat?" (2013)

Absolutely craptastic no-budget kid stuff about a sassy feline (whose voice is provided by a drunk-sounding Eric "Julia's Brother" Roberts, of all creatures) that helps bring two troubled families together with its mystical powers. Yes, really. This awkwardly scripted, poorly acted, unfunny "comedy" needed more of the cat and less of the humans.

Fun fact: this movie's puzzling, soft-porn production values were explained by a visit to IMDb, where I learned that this flick's director usually makes gay porn, and he does these cheap talking-animal kid flicks (under a variety of pseudonyms) as a sidebar. That explains the scene where the two teenage boys seemed like they were in an awful hurry to get shirtless and hop in the pool together.

If your kids find this on Netflix and say "Oh cool, a cat movie, can we watch it?", for the love of Gawd, grab the remote out of their hand and stop them!!

It's only mid February and I already have a "worst movie I've seen all year" contender!!

Not as great as I thought, but quite thrilling in some parts. Pace a little bit slow and might be boring for those non sci-fi fans. Cinematography is totally beautiful. I prefer Apollo 13 for space-theme movie to this

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Homefront

 

Decent action flick featuring Jason Statham. Turn off your mind and watch him kick some ass,

Only worth seeing in 3d. This film is nothing without 3d

No such thing ... I'd rather watch paint dry than anything involving Statham ...

At the cinema, in 3D you actually feel like you are in space......totally awesome.

 

But yeah not a film for the TV ;-)

[Dead Planet]

Man on Fire - one of Denzel's better movies....
