What was the last movie you watched ....

Looks like Jackie will be showing Liam Neeson, Sean Penn & co. how real aging action stars do it.

Genuinely intrigued by this.

 

I love Chan films! The last 2 films I've watched have been:
'The Wee Man', excellent intrigue and plot, lots of strong language, hella good flashbacks.
'Blade 2' I just like watching vampires and such die. Heavy action, light on plot. Just what I need when I'm not allowed to bench press!

 

The Production got into a bit of trouble during a filming of an explosion in Central London but didn't make correct warning signage. Rumour has it, they didn't tell Police either. So there was calls to an "attack" to the emergency services. This was a couple of years ago, but still. "Current climate" and all...

 

I watched the new Power Ranger's movie. And you know what?

I actually enjoyed it. It's pure kid's fun (obviously). It kind of reminds me of the 90s remake of Lost in Space. It has that similar feel to it.

Also their "special move" is totally awesome!

 

Better or worse than the first?

 

Having seen the trailer, he still moves well for a 60+ year old! I don't expect him to be jumping down the middle of a shopping mall, or onto a moving boat, but I bet he'll be breaking something.


I recently watched the Queen of Katwe - based on a true story about a girl who works her way out of the slums of Katwe by playing chess.
A nice feel good story and I found it enjoyable to watch.

 

Transformers The Last Knight.
Absolute hot mess of a film. 2hrs 45mins and it was all over the place.
It's getting to the point where Michael Bay can make a film, with no title or plot and just dump it into the cinema circuit - and it'll make his money back.

To think there was a writers room for this, is hilarity.

However, you know exactly what you're getting when you walk into this.
big explosions, pretty girls, crash, bang, boom, whallop.

Walking out of the cinema after a Michael Bay film is like doing the walk of shame. Ranging from "ah well.." to Cersei Lannister bell ringing.

My favourite part was literally the last minute (only cos I'm pretty much in love with a certain actress)

 

Carrying on my terrible film double bill.

I decided to go straight retro and revisit, the great Shakespearean tale.. Romeo Must Die (2002 ish?)

One of Jet Li's venture into Hollywood (people forget about The Master). He teams up with (late) Aaliyah, to battle between a gang war.

Apart from the terrible plot, the terrible acting. I was reminded that there are a lot of technical errors in the film. In fact, if any of you guys decide to go to it's IMDB page, I added quite a few of the goofs

What was really disappointing was the terrible use of wire work. Even though it was choreographed by Cory Yuen (and absolute geeks will see he reused sequences), Hollywood Directors just doesn't seem to grasp on how to film angles on the fights.
Jet Li was also clearly holding onto wires and so was his/their stuntmen.

There was also a lot of racist jokes against Chinese people, which seems to be accepted around that time. But no one seemed to noticed, so whatevers. Still a bit of a fun watch at times. Maybe in another 10 years,

 

Romeo must die is one of those guilty pleasures for me, I know it's bad and the choreography is clunky at the best of times, I think part of it is nostalgic for me for when as our was released when I was competing in wushu and it seemed to be in every movie.
It seemed like they had to water down a lot of Jet Li for the Western viewers, and the racists jokes were poor taste and completely unrelated to the plot or characters :/

 

"Punisher:War Zone"

Massive guilty pleasure of mine and despite its negative reception is exactly what a Punisher comic should look like on the screen IMO - mindless, incredibly violent and awesome!

 

I don't know if you've ever watched the TV show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," it's pretty funny if you haven't, but I imagined the first Jack Reacher as a spy movie written by Mac. So many indulgent male fantasy moments.

 

I second this.

Punisher is my favourite comic book character. Can't wait for the upcoming Daredevil spin-off series starring Jon Bernthal.

 

Really excited to see it actually, the first one was such a solid movie. Sequels that are arguably better than the first: Alien/Aliens, Terminator/Terminator 2, Robocop/Robocop 2, probably a few more out there.

 

I had moderate expectations for guardians #2.
Totally in agreement, I loved it and as soon as I got home from watching it pre ordered

It is probably my favorite if the recent Marvel releases.
