Collateral Beauty

 

Goodness, what ever came over me to watch this. Mind numbing comes to mind when describing this POS.

I refuse to watch that drivel. By the way, check my latest post in the ''Introductions'' category, there's a question for you about your favorite album :D

"The Protector" (1985)


Two New York cops (Jackie Chan and Danny Aiello) are sent to Hong Kong to track down a kidnapped girl and end up tangling with a ring of vicious heroin smugglers. Of course, lots of bullets fly, many butts are kung-fu kicked, and lots of stuff blows up.


Jackie Chan was already a huge movie star in Asia in 1985 -- "The Protector" was intended to be his big break into the global action-film market, but it didn't catch on. It's an entertaining '80s style shoot'em up, but it would take a few more years before "Rumble In The Bronx" finally made Jackie into a cult hero in the West.

I will go find it...

 

On topic:

 

Fist Fight

 

Nary a laugh could be mustered within this one. 3 O' Clock High is a FAAAAAAR superior film which is what this film ripped most of its content from, albeit they skewed it to be teachers fighting instead of students. I mean all the way down to the shots of the clock clicking the seconds off, to the teacher enlisting others to fight for him, to planting stuff on the other to get them arrested, to the finale with the swarms of people/students and the underdog actually standing a chance. May as well have just called it a reboot and at least drawn from that pool...

 

Again watch 3 O' Clock High.

The Red Turtle

 

Just because it has the name Studio Ghibli on it, that's why I watched it. Pretty depressing. But not as depressing as Grave of the Fireflies.

It was good, just not as good as I expected/hoped.

That new King Arthur one.

What a pile of shit.

Jax Teller sucked, Littlefinger sucked. They all sucked.

Kind of a modern twist which didn't work at all.

"Flatliners" (1990)


Med students try to learn what happens after death - by experimenting with stopping their hearts and bringing each other back from the brink. Naturally, these trips to "the other side" eventually have sinister consequences.

An artsy, flashy sci-fi/horror directed by Joel Schumacher, with a great cast incl.a young Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland and Kevin Bacon. Cool stuff, apparently a remake is due later this year.

Lazy Saturday Double Feature:


"Batman and Mr. Freeze: SubZero" (1998)


Feature-length spin off from "Batman: The Animated Series" pits the Dark Knight against Mr. Freeze, whose dying wife needs a vital organ transplant - and it turns out that Barbara (Batgirl) Gordon would be the perfect match. Nicely animated as usual, this Batman/Mr. Freeze battle is superior to the live action version that preceded it ("Batman & Robin") by a mile.


"Ninja Cheerleaders" (2008)


...as you can probably tell from the title, this is some real high-concept sh*t here. (haha!)

Three honor students by day and strippers by night also find time to learn the art of ninjitsu from George Takei (yes, really). Those skills come in handy when George is kidnapped by the mob and the girls have to rescue him before they can leave for college.

... in other words, this is your basic cheap, turn-your-brain-off action comedy. Just relax and enjoy watching the three cutie-pie leads kung-fu the crap out of a bunch of dudes.

"Dead Silence" (2007)

After the mysterious death of his wife, a young man returns to his home town and learns of his family's connection to a local legend - the ghostly Mary Shaw, an insane ventriloquist with an army of living dolls.

Creepy-cool spook story with lotsa atmosphere and a couple of decent jump scares. Underrated.

The Lobster (2016)

 

This is an absurdist black comedy film about a dystopian future where singles are given 45 days to find a partner before they are turned into animals. Yup.

 

I loved it. It stars Colin Farrell, but the supporting talent might even outperform him. Absurdist comedy is definitely not for everyone, but if you can stomach it, give it a chance.

The Raid 2

 

[just as good.....and blood thirsty.....as the first film. One gripe though - how many times can one man get sliced with a hook knife and still get up. Great action flick though. Subtitles. martial arts]

Agreed. I posted about this one a bit back. Really well done and blacker than the inside of a cow.

 

21 Jump Street damn funny even though it has Jonah Hill in it. Channing Tate-Yum is a studly dude and funny as heck.

Green Room (2016)

 

Oh, man, this film was tense as hell! Have you seen Blue Ruin? If not, go watch it! If you have, this is the next film from director Jeremy Saulnier. It's listed as a Horror. I don't think that's correct. It's highly suspenseful, but I wouldn't call it Horror.

NO not horror but certainly has moments of supreme tension and graphic violence. Another great performance from Anton Yelchin. RIP.

Yeah, it was a little difficult watching him in his final role. The kid was seriously talented.

The Lost City Of Z

Long, overly long movie.

Had I known it was based on a true story before my wife put it on, it would have made more sense as the theatrics suffered for the real story.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}
    • Your Eyes - Darkstone (2024) Two versions of my song number 6     https://suno.com/song/e8c1e85b-21ee-4d35-a64b-e786f00944d2   https://suno.com/song/9144c77a-bd7c-49c1-9508-f724d0832fdb
    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
