[quote=mredskins;1373038]88 thanks for the reviews[/quote]

No problemo. Just one of my guilty pleasures, watching a lot of movies.

Saw the latest Jackie Chan flick, Love Hurts. Your typical Chan movie but still enjoyable. Gets a [B]7.5/10.[/B]

Correction. It’s not a Jackie Chan movie but it’s Jackie Chan like. The actor is actually Ke Huy Quan. He really looks like Chan.

I saw that , not sure I think it was a good idea. I thought they still have a small vested interest in it?

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Saw Novocaine. Funny movie. Gets a [B]7.5/10.[/B]

Saw Black Bag, the spy thriller. Nice twist. A little slow though. Gets a [B]7/10.[/B]

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I saw “In the Lost Lands” with Mila Jovovich and David Bautista. Just an average movie. Gets a [B]7/10.[/B]

Also saw “Mickey 17”, another average movie where this guy is hired to be an expendable. He gets experimented on and dies and gets reprinted but the 17th version of Mickey doesn’t die. Gets a [B]7/10.[/B]

It seems like every movie he pulls off the tough guy role even more. It definitely had a Taken feel but overall a great movie and worth a see. Tons of action and great fight scenes. Check it out.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Watched The Alto Knights recently. Pretty average honestly but worth a watch if you like gangster movies especially the history of it. DeNiro is in it which helps.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Saw the Minecraft movie yesterday. It was ok. I’m not a gamer, so don’t know if it had the main elements from the game. Gets a [B]7.7/10[/B].

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Saw Death of a Unicorn with Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega. Interesting movie. Gets a [B]7.8/10[/B].

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1374058]How would you rate Top Gun: Maverick?[/quote]

9/10.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I saw a horror movie years ago called Mangler, gets a [B].1/10[/B].
Dead Ringers with Jeremy Irons from the 80’s, gets a [B]0/10. [/B] The only movie I ever walked out of.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

[quote=88Commanders00;1374067]9/10.[/quote]Top Gun: Maverick is an awesome movie. Loved it from start to finish. It received a standing ovation in the theater I watched it in when it came out. Check it out if you have not seen it.

I’ve seen it and own the Blueray. Actually, I have never seen the original. Seen clips but never ever watched the full movie.

You have never watched the original Top Gun? That's sheer insanity!!!!

I weep for you.

I like the sequel more too. But that's just because it's fucking awesome. Doesn't take anything away from the original.

Maverick actually bumped my long time favorite movie of all times (Snatch) down to No. 2.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Brings up an interesting question, if you could only watch 5 movies the rest of your life, what would they be?

Top Gun: Maverick and Snatch would be in there for sure. I'd have to ponder the other 3. Although Ace Ventura or Dumb & Dumber would make that list too. Definitely need something I can watch if I need a guaranteed laugh.

I could come with other lists also for this, but this would probably be it.

Good point, definitely need to include a football movie in there too:

Top Gun: Maverick, Snatch, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Friday Night Lights or Varsity Blues, and [Still Open].

Saw the spy flick with Rami Malik; The Amateur. Gets a solid [B]9/10.[/B]

[quote=88Commanders00;1374113]Saw the spy flick with Rami Malik; The Amateur. Gets a solid [B]9/10.[/B][/quote]

I want to watch that one. Glad to hear it's definitely watchable if not just flat out good.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

[quote=88Commanders00;1374113]Saw the spy flick with Rami Malik; The Amateur. Gets a solid [B]9/10.[/B][/quote]Malik was incredible in Bohemian Rhapsody as Freddie Mercury. He could not have played the role any better. I do want to see The Amateur. He is a solid actor.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Saw Warfare; the real life story about a mission in Iraq and written by one the soldiers on that mission. Warfare was intense. Gets a [B]9.3/10.[/B]

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Watching it again now. Every time I watch TGM, it gets even better than the last time.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Saw G20 on Amazon Prime. Viola Davis, plays the President; fighting the terrorists.

nice, i want watch

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Saw, Drop. A little unexpected as the movie went along. Gets a [B]8.1[/B].

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I love older movies and actually watched Grumpy Old Men recently. Pretty heartfelt and funny. I can see why it got a lot of fanfare at the time. The dynamic between Lemmon and Matthau was entertaining.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

My older movie binge continues. I watched Armaggedon recently. Cast was really good with Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, Ben Affleck and more. Movie was a bit far fetched but still enjoyable. A lot of action but heartfelt. Not a bad way to spend 2 1/2 hours.

One of my Top 5 movies is the 1955 film, Mister Roberts, with Henry Fonda, James Cagney and Jack Lemmon.

Sitting in theater, waiting for start of vampire flick; the Sinners.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Just watched the 2019 remake of Lion King. Going to watch [I]Mufasa: The Lion King[/I] tomorrow for Easter.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I took my daughter to see [B]A Minecraft Movie[/B]. I promise it was her idea. Not bad really but definitely more for the kiddos. Jack Black was highly entertaining in this. Kids were going crazy in the theater to this one.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Saw the vampire flick, Sinners. Gets a [B]7.3/10.[/B]. Stay during the early credits, as they are additional scenes to the movie.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I watched[B] 88 Minutes[/B] recently. Plot sounded decent, and I gotta see anything with Al Pacino. One of my fav actors ever. Not a bad watch honestly. Had some decent action and intense scenes.
