some recent movies I've seen

 

Black Sea - nice movie with Jude Law, about sunken WWII gold. Fans of submarine flicks like Das Boot and K-19 Widowmaker might enjoy this one..

 

Triple 9 - nice crime drama

 

Blood Father - with Mel Gibson, an ok movie, not as good as his older movies like Payback or Edge Of Darkness..

 

Hell or High Water - nice movie about bank robbers,

 

War Dogs - fun movie about gun runners

13 Hours (2016) - this is the first really good flick about the conflicts in the middle east...the rest that I've seen have been crap...definitely recommended...

 

Criminal (2016) - all star cast in this well done action film which got no publicity as I had not heard of it...

 

Sicario (2015) - I am rather tired of movies about cartels/drugs etc...but I'm glad I finally checked this film out as it was worth my time

Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them ... a pretty good addition to the Potterverse ... and Mr. Depp will have something to look forward to when 'Pirates ...' runs its course ;)

"Predator" (1987)

Arnold Schwarzenegger leads a team of commandos into the South American jungles on a rescue mission, where they're targeted by a technologically advanced hunter from another world. Will anyone make it out alive?
I saw "Predator" during its theatrical run in '87 (good Lord, that was 30 years ago!) and it's still my favorite Schwarzenegger movie - mainly because for juuuuust a little while it looks like Ahhh-nold might actually lose. It's been quite a few years since I last saw it but "Predator" is still holding up very well.

"Predator 2" (1990)



This underrated sequel drops the alien big-game hunter into the urban jungle of Los Angeles, where he lands in the middle of a turf war between rival drug dealing gangs and tangles with a tough L.A. cop (Danny Glover). "2" is not necessarily better than the first "Predator," but it's certainly bigger, louder, and splashier, with lots of machine gun fire, explosions, and breaking glass. It also has a great supporting cast that includes genre faves like Robert Davi, the late Bill Paxton, and even sleaze-TV legend Morton Downey Jr. as ... a sleazy tabloid TV reporter. "2" hasn't aged as well as the original but it's still entertaining.

"The Executioner Part II" (1984)

[YouTube]
[/YouTube]


A shell shocked Vietnam vet goes vigilante and starts killing muggers and rapists on the city streets. Yup, that's the whole plot.


This flick is legendary in bad movie circles for its total ineptitude in pretty much every department. The story is non existent, the acting/dubbing/dialogue sucks and the "action" scenes are hilariously awkward. I've seen porno with higher production values and better performances than this.


Fun fact: there was no "Executioner Part I." The producers hoped that fans of "The Exterminator" w/Robert Ginty would be suckered in by the similar sounding title and think this was a sequel to that film.

Rogue One

 

Ridiculously excellent, easily superior to the amazing The Force Awakens and slides gracefully into the 3rd slot in the franchise!

There's simply too much nostalgia in the first three films that nothing will ever top them, so Rogue One slid into slot four for me. And then A New Hope II. ;}

OH I 82% agree with you on that and if Jedi would have ended halfway through or actually if the Kasdan scribes Revenge of Said Jedi would have happened than no doubt! Jedi loses it in the second half nostalgia or no nostalgia, courtesy of Lucas' cash grab mentality.

 

#1 Empire

#2 A New Hope

#3 Rogue One

#3.5 first half of Jedi

#4 A Force Awakens

#5 Jedi (if judged on the entire film)

#6,7 an #8 all the others. :)

Yeah me too.
Without the first one, there wouldn't be the others.
I remember seeing it at the movies and being blown away.

 

Today I saw 2 movies.

 

Mutiny On The Bounty 1935 version. Was actually pretty good, but makes me wanna watch the Mel Gibson version again

 

Batman Vs Superman. Probably one of the few people on earth to see this twice, but I like it.

That said, damn it's made in a very confusing way for the first hour...

Watched Contraband with Mark Wahlberg last night. Wound my partner up by moaning about the lack of 'moral' ending to the thing. Hahaha. It was a very stupid movie!

haven't watch it, but got a soft spot for some silly action movie and always think that a movie don't always have to have a moral ending right ? :D

True, I shouldn't take it too seriously. It was fun action in its way just right for a lazy evening. just annoyed me you were meant to sympathise with the main characters and I was thinking of the poor security guards and members of the public they'd caused the deaths of during the movie who were obviously considered collateral damage

First one will always be top for me

I get you and don't disagree, I am splitting hairs when I put Empire above A New Hope. The story in Empire is just epic that's what edges it over A New Hope but A New Hope is priceless.

 

I should show my list with Hoe and Empire sharing the number 1 slot.

    • Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think. 
    • H.E.A.T - 1000 Miles Vega - Hands In The Air The Defiants - Stay Issa - River of Love I'm at work right now so that's all I know off the top of my head but I'll look through my library for more when I get a chance.
    • Maybe anything by the Darkness
    • Wig wam - hard to be a rock n roller
    • Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary. First single and video:  
    • I want to compile quite an extensive playlist of hard rock songs that has a key change in the end. Why? Cause I think it sounds awesome Some well known exambles are: Bon Jovi - Living On a Prayer Wig Wam - In My Dreams Danger Danger - Don't Blame it on Love H.E.A.T - Beg Beg Beg
    • My Japan copy showed up today. I was critical of the Part I album as that one just did very little for me.  Basically, I just didn't think the songs were all that catchy and/or memorable.  I played that album a handful of times trying to get into it and gave up rather quickly which was disappointing as I loved Wired.  Maybe I just had too high of expectations or something.  I know many liked that album but for me at least, that Megalomanium I album would be ranked toward the bottom of their discography. Well, after hearing this new one, I'm feeling the opposite....Here I feel like they nailed it and I'm digging this one after the first listen.  I basically couldn't wait to start it over and listen again. The first 5 songs just come out guns a blazing with catchy, hook filled songs.  Yeah, we've heard 4 of those songs as singles but I almost purposely haven't listened to those songs much so they'd still sound fresh when the album dropped.  Then the one song we hadn't heard, All I Want, is just another upbeat, catchy tune. The 2nd half though is where things probably get more interesting.  Songs like Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye are the kinds of varied balladish/mid-tempo type songs I've been wanting Eclipse to mix things up with and there's 2 of those songs here, both very well done IMO.  Then there's a couple heavier tunes like Divide & Conquer and One In A Million that sound like stuff that could've been on Bleed & Scream.  And then a couple other melodic rockers with Until the War is Over and Pieces. I also feel like this has some of the better lyrics that Eclipse has had in awhile.  I think a lot of their material recently has been just been sort of lighter subject matter, 3 minute "simplistic" romps.  I felt Part I had a lot of that which kind of contributed to it being less interesting.  Here though, it seems like some of these songs get a bit deeper and can feel more emotion in songs like Still My Hero, Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye for example.   Anyways, where Part I is among my least favorite Eclipse albums, I'd say my early impression of Part II is that it'll be among my favorite Eclipse albums. 
    • New song 'Unbreakable'.    
    • Solid hard rock album. Nothing really stood out to me, but it’s solid.
