Last movie you saw?

James Cameron + Arnie was always a guaranteed winner.

You have murdered our women, and our children, and bombed our cities from afar, like cowards, and you dare to call "us" terrorists?Now, we have the ability to strike back at our enemies. Unless "you" "America" pull all military forces out of the Persian gulf area, immediately, and forever, Crimson Jihad will rain fire on one major U.S. city each week, until our demands are met. First, we will detonate one nuclear weapon on this uninhabited island as a demonstration of our power. But, if these demands are not met, Crimson Jihad will rain fire on one major U.S. city each week.


Oh man, such great one-liners.

The Jamie Lee Curtis strip tease scene in True Lies is pretty pretty pretty good.

Not gonna deny that.

I recently tried to track down the original French movie it's based on, La Totale, but couldn't find any English subtitle files for it. I skimmed it and recognized a lot of the scenes though.

[faizoff]

It's a crying shame that True Lies and The Abyss still don't have a bluray release.

[NoseofNicko]

True Lies is pure awesomeness!

[BlobVanDam]

It's a crying shame that True Lies and The Abyss still don't have a bluray release.

How did that happen? Does James Cameron not want to re-release his movies until he can personally direct a 3D conversion super deluxe director's cut or something?

[KevShmev]

Oh man, such great one-liners.

"If you need to talk...speak into the purse."

[jjrock88]

That's unreal that True Lies hasn't been released on blu ray

[faizoff]

Not sure if it's the studio or James Cameron himself that hasn't commissioned a BR release. There are rumblings that a release is being prepped but that's been going for a while now.

Saw The Accountant last night. I enjoyed it a lot.

[ReaperKK]

Just got back from seeing Passengers and despite not being a fan of Jennifer Lawrence the movies was really good. The visual effects were incredible and the writing was pretty good.

[MirrorMask]

Inferno, the Dan Brown one.

Altough I'm italian I saw it in original language (as I do with everything), so it was very funny to hear foreign actors pretending to be italian and speaking the language, the words were right but the accent was so evident 

All in all a nice movie, the story has many "Danbrownisms"... I get that it's nice and atmospheric to have the characters in famous historical places, but often in its books and stories these landmarks are there for the complete pleasure of the protagonists, and no tourists or guardians are ever around.

To make an example, in the movie Robert Langdon is one of the few erudite persons who know of a secret passageway between two important palaces of Florence, and uses it to escape the bad guys chasing him. While in reality 1) that passage is very famous and 2) as everyone could predict even without being an expert of art and history, it's closed and open to visits by booking.

If there was such a passage between, dunno, the White House and the Capitol in Washington, I would assume as well it's either closed, or open to select visits , and not just there for someone to accidentally enter unannounced in the Oval Office.

[Kotowboy]

At work they just put in a small bookcase in the corner with a few novels on them. All the Lord of The Rings and several Dan Brown.

Just for fun i read the first chpater of The Da Vinci Code...


I get all the criticisms. He was writing like he was a teenager. The descriptions of objects are completely extraneous and sound like he just looked up "expensive watch" on Google and

wrote down the model number as "research".

And at one point the character ( forget his name - let's say 'John' ) needs to hide behind a painting - and the sentence goes something like

" He needed to hide behind a painting so HE pulled down the painting and it fell on John "

For the First Time

Die Hard. Never saw this one before and even though I basically knew everything that was going to happen I still enjoyed it. I see why it's a classic.

Fargo. The Coen brothers movie. Good, weird, funny. Didn't feel as if it had much of a point, but since it's based on a true story I can look past that.

They put that at the beginning as a joke.

I love Fargo - it's so hilariously subtle. Which is their forte I think. They don't do out and out rip roaring comedy quite so well.

I feel like most Coen brothers movies don't really have a point. Still love them though.

[jammindude]

The extended cut of Suicide Squad.   I have never seen the theatrical cut.   (It came with the set I bought, but I heard the extended was better, so I watched that first)

It was OK.  Fairly entertaining.   The acting performances by everyone were excellent.   But I can see why everyone said it was a mess.   The writing was terrible.   Some people and plot points just seemed to appear out of nowhere, and there was very little motivation written into the story line.   Overall it was pretty disappointing.

[Kotowboy]

I heard it does that thing that pisses me off in Hollywood movies - when they remind you of something that happened like a few scenes ago.

Um...I remember...It was like 20 mins ago.


- - - - - -

Ant Man did that. Right at the end just before Paul Rudd shrinks down to atomic size - you get the whole "NEVER GO TO ATOMIC SIZE" scene again from earlier in the film.

I REMEMBER FFS.

[BlackInk]

Just came back from the Assassin's Creed movie. I liked it. Not a lot, and it's a bit overly silly at times. But still an enjoyable time.

Okay, well I bought it. Then the movie just has no point for no reason, and I think a bit less of it. Still a good movie though.

Predator 2

I know a lot of people didn't like it since there's no Arnold, but I have always really enjoyed this movie.

[Orbert]

Same here.  Arnold is cool, but the movie wasn't about him; it was about The Predator.  And like a good sequel, they explored more of the background of the creature and expanded upon it, rather than just giving us more of the same.

[BlobVanDam]

My least favourite part of Predator was actually the end when it was more about the Predator itself. I actually found the ending fairly dull.
I enjoyed the first 3/4 of the movie much more, with Arnie and a bunch of goons killing people in the jungle and giving hilarious one liners.
Still a really good movie, but I've had no interest in watching a sequel without Arnie.

[Kotowboy]

There's loads of 80s Arnie movies i've never seen like Commando or Predator or Red whatever its called when he plays a Russian ??

Also never seen any Conan.


* Just checked and it's Red Heat i'm thinking of but he is also in a swords 'n' sorcery film called Red Sonja ! With Brigette Nielsen

The Russian one is Red Heat. I got it ages ago, but haven't watched it yet. I assume it's not one of his better ones. Arnie isn't playing Arnie. Screw that.
I've seen the first Conan. It was ok, nothing special.

Commando is a must see Arnie movie. It's the prototypical Arnie action movie, with no holds barred action, great one liners, and imo is one of the best action movies of all time.

[Orbert]

I like Red Heat.  Jim Belushi is a fun guy, and Arnie is still Arnie, just in a different kind of way.

[Kotowboy]

Which is the film where he goes " i did nothing - the pavement was his enemy " ?

He is the king of the quip.

[BlobVanDam]

Hm, maybe I should finally get around to watching it tomorrow. Got nothing better to do anyway.

[Logain Ablar]

I watched Fury yesterday on Netflix.

My expectations weren't high, but I really enjoyed it! Great battle scenes, and some really gruesome bits from word go.

I remember thinking Red Heat wasn't that great, I should try and watch it again sometime.

Commando and Predator are pure classic!  And I know Terminator 2 always gets such rave reviews, but I prefer the Terminator 1 by far.

[Orbert]

Red Heat wasn't that great, but it wasn't horrible.  Some good one-liners from both Belushi and Arnold, and Gina Gershon as the hot babe (no tits or anything, even though it's rated R ).  I was just saying it's worth at least checking out if you like Arnold.  It wasn't a complete waste of time or anything.  Plus Arnold's Austrian accent gets to stand in for a Russian accent.  What a country!

[orcus116]

Commando is a must see Arnie movie. It's the prototypical Arnie action movie, with no holds barred action, great one liners, and imo is one of the best action movies of all time.

I'm one of those people that find the simple summer blockbuster action movies dumb and not worth my time but as far as just really mindless simple action movies I love Commando to death for all the reasons you mentioned. Anyone who has a remote interest in those kinds of movies that doesn't see it is doing themselves a disservice.

I also find Falling Down in the same vein although that movie is supposed to be more dramatic. It's a weak story but each scene with Michael Douglas is so bizarrely great and unique that it makes it worth the watch just for the pure entertainment value. If the DVD had a feature to skip all the Robert Duvall scenes it'd be even better.

[King Postwhore]

Sometimes we just need shit blowing up and,Bennett letting out some steam.

[orcus116]

He fucking lied to Sonny, though.

[King Postwhore]

I'd lie to anyone in The Warriors movie.

[King Postwhore]

He fucking lied to Sonny, though.

Also the car was ok when Arnold drove away.
