Get The Gringo.

Mel Gibson.

 

Good or bad?

 

Try "Expendables 2". It's so over the top, it's actually quite fun!

Good!

Seen Expendables 2

I'll recommend the Korean original version of "A Tale Of Two Sisters"

Moon... Beautiful little sci-fi movie

 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/

Yes, this is a great movie, somewhat under rated IMO.

While on the subject of Space Movies , I saw Interstellar on quite a large cinema screen yesterday and I would heartily endorse this movie. There was quite a bit of "2001 channelling" at the end but I guess this is not a negative.

From the sublime to the ridiculous, I would also suggest a forgotten gem called Dark Star which started out as a student film by John Carpenter but was then stretched into feature film length. It has next to no budget, a beach ball as an alien but it is also very funny. (And it also has a very opinionated talking bomb)

Watched The Drop tonight. 

 

I tell you what, I was waiting for anything to drop throughout the movie, anything I tell's ya...like walking through mud wearing concrete shoes...

 

 

Actually speaking of mud, watch Mud, it's not a bad flick...

Expendables 3, Yawn.

 

 

excellent semi bombed city set in Bulgaria.

 

They must have killed at least 1000 people in this movie with their machine guns, but only Mel Gibson could shoot them :D

 

Hi Def is not good for these aged stars seeing their faces in various guises of makeup.

Le Samourai - Yet another great Melville film

 

A superb film!

 

Another film that has been said to give nods to Le Samourai, that I also felt each frame almost felt like crafted art, and have watched a few times already is Drive (2011).

Fully restored, finally available on BluRay. Friedkins' follow up to 'The Exorcist', but nothing to do with the supernatural.

Based on the earlier " Wages of Fear", but differing characters. The central storyline remains the same.

This now looks like it could have been filmed yesterday, not 37 years ago.

Bonus is a Tangerine Dream soundtrack, and a remasted sound design that will crack your walls.

Movie- 9/ 10

Visuals- 9/ 10

Sound- 9/ 10.

Note, steer clear of the dodgy pan and scan that appears occassionaly.

ZM.

I can't really recommend it... I think I'll get stoned after this...

 

However, I was sitting on a plane yesterday from Sydney to Perth, with little to read and lots of time to kill, and decided to watch "The Expendables 3". It's a joke, from the beginning to the end, and this time, everybody is invited. Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Davi, all of them having a good time.

 

I found the settings excellent, a run down casino somewhere in a former communist country, and some over the top action stunts (what else would you expect?).

 

Honestly, at some point next year I might as well get the Expendables boxset, just because. It certainly beats some other action movies were you have the main character played by someone like Pierce Brosnan, and the rest are unknown faces... "November Man" comes to mind. Won't bother with it again.
