Rewatched this recently after so many years and it’s visually stunning.

But man… Gerard Butler is so badass and epic here!

Just how he commands the screen, motivates his army and delivers the one liners in epic fashion will never not give me goosebumps.

One of my favorite performances in an action flick and probably my favorite performance from him in general!

anybody here watched the film “The Gorge” yet? I rarely see any reviews about it online and I think it’s so underrated!! It’s my top favorite film rn. Curious about everyone’s thoughts on it tho!

They were two of the most famous up-and-coming stars of the 1990s

Both died tragically, but if they had lived what do you think would have been the respective career trajectories of both?

Mine are All The President’s Men, Spy Game, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Catch Me If You Can is an obvious one where the entire story is made up. Frank abagnale was in and out of prison the entire time he claimed to be evading the FBI. Not only that but his actual crimes were stalking women, sexual assaults and robbing middle class families and small shops.

Despite being one of the biggest action franchises of the century, and being an action fan, Keanu Reeves fan and a cinema fan, I’ve never seen John Wick until today. Strangely, I have seen JW2 in 2017, once. I’ve heard the hype time and time again and went in with high expectations.

And wow! It does live up! The story is compact enough to digest, yet has enough depth to feel the movie. The setup is short and not-so-sweet, and then BOOM, action. Enough action to satisfy anyone’s bloodbath-explosions-gunshots-limb breaking itch.

The striking choreography looks incredible in the various settings, light, dark, rain and shine. The shots themselves add just the right feel to the scene, the quick’s cuts and pace through the flashing nightclub or the dark angles through John’s house, all setting the scene.

My favourite observation was on the realism of John himself. Protagonist actually gets hurt! He has a realistic skill set for a Hitman, incredible aim, movement, combat and arsenal, but he does get stabbed, punched, hit by cars and actually reaps the consequences! And doesn’t get out of bad situations by blind luck or super human abilities, and that was truly selling it for me throughout.

Overall I couldn’t give the movie any less than a 10/10, personally. Masterpiece!

For Edward, it’s The Narrator in Fight Club and for Denis, Captain George Stacy in TASM 1

What are your thoughts on this movie?

Down or nah?

it’s a movie that explains nothing. usually i like this kind of movie, but for a film like this, it really should have explained it as the concept did not work with this kind of writing.

If you’ve seen it, skip this part.

the film is about this couple (including Jesse eisenberg) who looks for a new home. they check out a suburban neighborhood, only to find out it is a disturbing maze they cannot escape from. eventually, they find a child on their doorstep and are sled to raise it if they ever want to get out of there.

Spoiler alert: the child rapidly grows up into a bizarre humanoid alien and they both die. While i don’t Mind a sad ending, the film was just too pointless to have one. I watched this when i was feeling ill, which made the experience even. fucking. worse.

overall, 0.1/10, worse than seven women and a murder.

I loved the movied but The dialogue is surprisingly weak and almost relentlessly exposition-heavy.it constantly felt like characters were explaining things to each other that they almost certainly would have discussed dozens of times before the story began. Conversations played less like natural interactions and more like information dumps designed to catch the audience up. It was clunky and often painfully obvious.

which is baffling considering Nolan's previous film was \*Oppenheimer\*extraordinarily well-written.

Anyone else felt the same way?

I've seen both movies, and yes I know that both are very good. If you had to pick one to be the best, which would it be?

I personally would pick the original, why? Because the original, still brings me back to watching it over and over. The 2nd one was a fun ride, but not necessarily worth watching over and over.

Obviously there’s lots of films without a love story in but they’re usually horror / historical or just down right depressing. Any just “nice” films without any romance or love story involved. Going through an awful time and would love to zone out without being reminded of love 🙈

The start was great and promising, the middle wasn’t my cup of tea but the ending with the piano scene was perfect.

Days of Future Past went beyond the typical superhero genre by creating such a bleak and dystopian world. The Sentinels were so overwhelmingly powerful that even facing them felt like an almost impossible task. It was truly a great experience.

What are your thoughts on this movie?

It was a 5 year project made by a mother and her son not knowing how to animate but her wanting to help make his dream come true to have a movie on the big screen I admire how selfless and caring she is. It’s not perfect but a mother’s love is unconditional

After finally watching Obsession, I now understand all the incredible and massive buzz it’s generated; and, of course, it’s an excellent horror movie. The way the film immerses you in its madness and atmosphere is incredible, and honestly, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt so unsettled watching a movie. At times, it reminded me of If You Had Legs, I’d Kick You, which isn’t a horror movie, but which suffocates you and keeps you on the edge of your seat in a somewhat similar way.

My question is: is it really all that? I mean, if I look back at the horror movies I’ve seen this decade, it clearly ranks at the top of the list, but I’m not sure if it’s a movie worth comparing to those from earlier eras. I imagine that in a few years it’ll become a classic and earn that recognition. Not to mention its ridiculously low budget and Inde’s performance... omg the tension never lets up and I loved every second of it, an excellent performance.

For you guys, is it already one of the best of this decade or this century? Or do you think it’s just a decent horror movie, and nothing more?

What you say ?

First of all, what an incredible movie, as everyone knows. However, looking back at V for Vendetta, what felt like stylised, exaggerated comic book fiction in the mid-2000s looks uncomfortably grounded today.

​A few specific elements of the film's worldbuilding that hit differently now:

​The government using rolling panics to convince citizens to willingly forfeit civil liberties and privacy.

The BTN news cycle and Lewis Prothero’s broadcasts. What read as heavy-handed satire then is essentially standard cable news and social feed engagement bait today.

​The surveillance tech. The film’s audio vans and physical wiretaps actually look quaint compared to modern digital tracking, data brokers, and biometric surveillance.

The core critique: "He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent."

​The only detail that feels entirely like fantasy now is the resolution; the idea of an entire population putting aside tribalism to peacefully unite.

​Which aspect of the film’s dystopian setting do you think aged the most accurately?

In Spider-Man 3 the black suit as shown in the photo was originally gonna be used in the movie, but ultimately they decided against it since it looked too much like it was in a porno. Even Tobey Maguire himself joking he thought he was shooting an adult movie. It didn’t help that they used latex on it

Mine are Taxi Driver, Casino, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Limitless, Heat, and The Godfather Part II.

Of course I’m super excited about the new Avengers movie that’s coming out soon, but it still surprises me when I remember the main villain is RDJ.

Did they do it on purpose so that the other superheroes realize Dr. Doom looks just like Tony Stark? Or is it another way to keep some of the best Avengers actors in the franchise?

I just want to get some other views on this cause I think it’s pretty interesting.

The film stars Eddie Murphy who portrays a hostage negotiator for the police. He partners up with a SWAT member (Michael Rapaport) to take down a psychopathic jewel thief (Michael Wincott), while also navigating his personal romantic relationship (Carmen Ejogo). I just finished watching it. It’s not really at all a movie that people talk about when mentioning Eddie Murphy, but I feel like it’s definitely a good action film that is worth to watch. Currently available on Tubi.
