Movie Discussion

animation is in its own league and improved drastically in a matter of years, older ones may have looked worse than current but had better writing.

I personally think that they hit a time where they realised kids animated movies would do better if they wrote jokes for the adults in there too so the whole family would enjoy them. And to me that really hit late in the 90's. Maybe I just haven't rewatched anything from the 80's to see the adult humour in them. I was a youngster back then, so I would have missed adult jokes. But that's just my opinion.

I watch some older comedies now and think modern comedies lack something. There are good modem comedies. But for the most part I think there's some fear that they'll offend people, so humour takes a step back.
 
I like terrible movies. Not sure why, I just think I tolerate terrible movies more than most people. Loved all the Venom movies even though everyone hates them. A movie has to be really bad for me to hate it. It has to be Wonder Woman 1984 bad.

I started watching Kraven The Hunter.... It's bad. So bad it made me miss Wonder Woman 1984. So bad that I turned it off halfway through and I don't think I can finish it.

It's not like it's comedic terrible. It's just full of these annoying small details that drive you crazy. Other than the terrible acting, and the fact that it feels like large important parts of the movie were cut out, these little things drive you crazy.

For example. The father is this ultimate strong Russian Mafia guy who pressures his children to be strong. They don't accept weakness. And he's played by Russell Crowe who is peak fatness. All those super fat photos of Crowe that were put on the news. This is it. He's wider than he is tall.

There's this scene where one of the guys starts pouring Vodka. The guy has poured at least 10 shots worth in each glass, and Rusty says, “no, pour drinks for men“. So the guy pours a lot more. Then they all raise their glasses to cheers and there's about 5ml in each glass. The glasses are basically empty. How do you go to the effort of making the audience draw attention to the amount of alcohol in each glass, then don't bother actually putting anything in the the glass.

I know it sounds like I'm being padantic, but the movie goes out of the way to ensure that the viewer is paying attention to this stuff. Then they mess it up. It's like the movie is saying, “watch closely and you can see that we have no idea what we're doing"
 
I'm not much for Documentaries ('cause they're usually just a chance for a director to sell you their false version of events), but this looks really good. Black Hawk Down is my favourite movie, so I'm really looking forward to this

Saw that, I will be giving it a watch.

Tom Satterly who was in the Delta Force (whos in that doco) was on the Shawn Ryan Show a while back, his interview is worth watching because he goes into depth of what happened.
 
Binging the hell house movies on prime.

Nothing new that hasn't been done before but not bad found footage horror, if you can tolerate the below average acting that is
 
I watched The Wanderers for the first time in years. Its B grade and a bit silly in parts but I still like it. Ill watch it again in another couple of years no doubt.

Yeah I have that aswell, love it. I still have my first gen xbox. Saved it cause I have the warriors game not that ive played it in ages. Im not much into games so when I do fire it up I usually just throw in dukes of hazzard.
 
I have to agree with some of you on here. It’s also the 80s for me. We got spoilt for classics. I miss going to the movies with the big orchestra background music made such a difference. My all time favourites was the 1984 Karate Kid. Also during the 80s - Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Gremlins. Indiana Jones, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Beverly Hills Cop,
Top Gun, Crocodile Dundee, The Goonies and any John Hughes movie, Many more but they were great. I’m sure like other guys on here, I’ve built up my own video collection as well. I love all types of movies, Comedy, Action, Martial Arts and Mafia movies and Crime True Stories are good too. Lately I’ve built up a few old Blu Rays of classics too like the Godfather movies, Star Wars movies (only 4,5, and 6 for me), The Rocky Movies (3 and 4 are still my favourites) and Indiana Jones movies, even Jaws, but to be honest it doesn’t look much different to the original. Even got the Harry Potter movies, even though I’m not into Wizard movies but I thought that was pretty good series.

It’s shit that Stallone is done with Rambo, just watching part 3 on 9 and it’s just as enjoyable as my first watch.

Rambo is definitely my favourite movie series, would go 2,3,5,1,4 in order.

I love 4,
One of the few action movies that actually does the kills correctly.

Yes I agree. I watch (and loved) the first 2 Creed movies. He's not in the 3rd and honestly I think I fell asleep 10 mins in.
 
This movie is ageless and will never get old as far as I'm concerned.

10/10.

Watched two movies recently:

Star Trek: Section 31

This movie is a spin off from the Star Trek: Discovery series. Even if you're a Star Trek fan, do not watch this. It is bad. Really bad. Nothing good I can say about it

0/10

The Gorge

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. The trailers make it pretty clear what it is. It's two snipers from different countries protecting what they believe to be a gateway to hell, or something similar. They fall in love, blah blah. And that is the first half of the movie. The second half is a well made action movie with interesting enemies and a somewhat overdone but still good hidden storyline. Definitely recommend

8/10
