Watched it last night and thought it was crap. These Netflix originals seem to be getting worse and worse. 1.5/5

I enjoyed it. But in my defense I was mainly staring at the Aussie chick.

Still thought it was entertaining. Had a bit of a Tucker and Dale Vs Evil vibe to it.

 

[The_Chimpster]

I loved Tucker & Dale vs Evil, couldn't get into the babysitter, mainly due to the annoying lead kid and shitty dialogue. Samara Weaving making out with that chic was by far the best thing in it imo

 

[Hacky McAxe]

At least was Samara Weaving hot in it? She's the hottest thing this country has exported in a long long time.

The trailer covers that pretty well

The only thing I don't really like about Samara is that she's a smoker. Have you ever kissed a smoker? It's like kissing and ashtray

Yep. I smoked for years and had no issue with it back then. After I quit I couldn't bring myself to kiss a smoker.

Just as good as the first, although that firefist character was really annoying but I guess that was kinda the point

8/10

I have been thinking of seeing these movies. Are they based at a young audience like the other movies though? Such as X-Men etc? Or will older viewers like it too?

I think it's definitely targeted for an older audience. In general, I'm not a fan of marvel or comic book films (besides Batman) but love deadpool. Besides, it doesn't take itself at all seriously, frequently breaks the fourth-wall and pokes fun at the x-men franchise

The Internship

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2234155/?ref_=nv_sr_3

Two salesmen (Vaughn and Wilson) whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital age find their way into a coveted internship at Google, where they must compete with a group of young, tech-savvy geniuses for a shot at employment. It's hard to digest the being interns given that they are about twice the age of everyone else, but that manage to weasel their way in, and the results are hilarious at first, but they manage to bond together with their other team mates and the result you expect is the outcome. Hilarious at times, especially the night-club scene, but one of those movies you'll only watch once in a while.

7/10

Can't say I've seen it, but personally I can't stand Vince Vaughn, and think gonzo Wilson is very overrated. But that's just me

I like only a few of his movies - Dodgeball, Old School. Wedding Crashers is ok.

Falling Down

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106856/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Kicked it old school yesterday, Falling Down (1993) with Michael Douglas. On the day of his daughter's birthday, William Foster is trying to get to his estranged ex-wife's house to see his daughter. He has a breakdown in a huge traffic jam with the extreme LA heat and no air conditioning working in his, and leaves his car and decides to walk. Along the way he stops at a convenience store and tries to get some change for a phone call but the owner, Mister Lee, does not give him change. This destabilizes William who then breaks apart the shop with a baseball bat and goes to an isolated place to drink a coke. Two gangsters threaten him and he reacts by hitting them with the bat. He continues walking and stops at a phone booth. The gangsters hunt him down with their gang and shoot at him but crash their car. William goes nuts and takes their gym bag with weapons proceeding in his journey of rage against injustice. Next stop is a fast-food joint which stops serving breakfast at 11:30am - and it's 11:34am by the time William gets there. Another very tense stand off with shots being fired and customers scared for their lives ensues. A military surplus store is the next stop. A cop who is working this case on his final day before retirement I won't ruin the ending for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but not bad for a movie made in 1993. I think this is one of Douglas's best movies.

As a side note, the movie shows what LA really was back in the early 90s - quite a hell hole.

Quite an entertaining film.

7.5/10

Yep, great flick. I saw it years ago and don't remember much (if any) of what happened but I really liked it at the time

One of my favourite movies from the 1990's.
Hollywood would be too scared to produce a movie like this today with all the PC SJW pussies in existence.

That was one of the best scenes in the movie. Along with the one where he beats the thugs with a baseball bat

 

[Wahesh]

This scene too

 

[Memberberries]

This scene too

Imagine if they remade this movie?
This scene he would have hoards of fake homeless trying to scab off him because of how he's dressed and carrying a suitcase.

Mom and Dad

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5462326/?ref=m_nv_sr_1

This is one odd movie. It stars Nicholas Cage and Selma Blair with a few other cameos. It's written and directed by Brian Taylor, the guy who made the Crank movies, Gamer, Jonah Hex, and the most excellent Happy! TV series. It carries his trademark insane directing style.

The whole premise of the movie is that parents had their mental switch flipped. Think of it like The Hapenning where they have their survival instinct flipped, but less shit. Parents urge to protect their kids instead becomes an urge to kill their kids.

It's a simple and pretty silly premise but it's entertaining. The ending is a bit crap but the movie is enjoyable, and it meets the tagline perfectly, "like a twisted remake of Home Alone on bath salts"

7.5/10

Great acting by Douglas.. Poses a lot of interesting questions.. Is he fighting back..or becoming like what he detests? Have you noticed too the progression of his weapons..club (bat) to knife to Guns.. Little things like that make it a movie you can watch more than once as you pick up new things..
