I know one can only go so far with action films, but when you think of the dross that has been dished up in the past by Schwarzenegger, Stallone and the utterly absurd Seagal, you can be lucky to be alive to see the Jason Statham portfolio expose what infantile cowards those aforementioned were, and add Ethan Hunt to the brigade of dazzling film heroes, even if we don't really need them.

you might be right about the later fat period of seagal. however his earliest and moving into beginning podgy phase are good low to mid budget action films.

kill ratio - a low budget actioner in which fledging east european democracy is saved by a special operative posing as an events consultant (or something like that). has a great little 'freedom' speech. oddly a mostly british/irish cast and director.
dumb fun.

legend of the fist - return of chen zen. donnie yen reprises the role he played in the tv series based on the bruce lee movie 'fist of fury'. chen zen has returned from world war 1 france and is once again in a struggle against the japanese. not as action packed as i would have wanted (the opening stunts do put to shame many of the superhero movies), it looks lush. all in all a decent movie.

Sorry mate , I can't share your enthusiasm for the earlier Seagal, largely because of the absence of any plot worth following, and the lack of any depth of character in the man himself, who in reality was good at Aikido and a trainer with no acting experience before he made his first film, rather like Schwarzenegger, another embarrassment without riches as far as films go. Mission Impossible succeeds because it creates tension around time-related events which must be met to push the narrative along. And, while there is a degree of violence it most often functions to close a chapter rather than to make a point, like the fascist garbage Hollywood tends to present where democracy and the rule of law are cast as feeble and useless with the gun the key factor in the resolution of disputes. No humanity would be shown in such films as happens with the wounded policewoman in MI: Fallout. Also, compared to the womanising lush that Bond is, Ethan Hunt rarely engages his female companions/enemies in a sexual way, and does not drink for pleasure, if at all. Indeed, the weakest MI, the second in the franchise, has precisely the sexual component the series does not need or benefit from, even if the sexual element does not concern Hunt but the villain, played by the truly dismal pseudo-actor Dougray Scott.

The question must be, what makes a good action movie? I can accept an unrealistic plot -typically a megalomaniac wants to destroy something, be it a country or the whole world- but what it needs is characters with enough depth to be believed in, on both sides, and for the action to look good in cinematic terms involving complex movement set in a framework of tension-release. The classic car chases in Walter Hill's Driver (1978) substitute cars for people -the people have no names in the film- just as the chases in Bullit (1968) and The French Connection (1971) have become the template for all others, with only the Jason Bourne films and Transporter films coming close to their dexterity if not always their excitement. Indeed, it is precisely the tedious predictability of car chases in the Bond films and most other action films that renders them also-rans in the catalogue, just as the need for female nudity in the Bond films and the Seagal catalogue pits them at the level of American Pie for grown-up wankers. I suggest the absence of sex and nudity in the MI franchise, which may or may not have something to do with Tom Cruise, is part of its wide appeal.

we'll have to agree to disagree.
though i am curious about the female nudity in seagal films as aside from background tittilation shots in club scenes i am struggling to remember any significant nudity in them. (though in black dawn - the seagal movie i watched today - there is a male bum on display). my recollection of his characters in films is either of a family man or as someone trying to be a white knight.

you could be right about mission impossible's appeal - though i would argue more to do with cruise and the set pieces. but that also got me thinking about cruise and women in his action movies and they do seem to be very sexless. so you are probably onto something.
however that does also mean that you can argue that part of the wide appeal of bond is the promise of sex and nudity - even if it is very revealing.

black dawn - seagal thwarts a terrorist attack that he sort of sets up in the first place. ah teh murky world of the cia at work again.

There is a later Seagal film in which a secret code or something like that is written in ink or tattooed on a woman's breasts, but there is also a Ladyboy in that film and I can't remember if it is the same character. I am not sure he actually has sex with women in his films but there is more flesh in them than the MI series. Apparently Cruise is a complete control freak, I have read an account -no idea of its veracity- of a relationship he tried to developed with an actress who was either in Homeland or The Americans, and I think 'selected' for him by some psychos in his Scientology 'church' and it is scary. But he is at least an actor, whereas Seagal is just in reality a martial arts instructor who got lucky. I just need more depth in films, even action ones.

after enjoying star wars: the last jedi (and i am still unsure quite why the fanboys were so upset by it) i decided to go back to several of my secret movie pleasures: bad movies and silly shark movies, so step up to the plate 'shark exorcist'. it runs 'waspnado' as the worst film i have watched this year.

3/5 for Jaws? Spielberg at his best is a great storyteller and Jaws is one of his best films and retains its power. You did not rate Oceans's Eight, was it that bad?

Apollo 13 (Ron Howard, 1995)

I had never seen this film before this week, and found it a good example of a real-life event turned into a well-crafted story with a good script and fine acting. This is a tense and gripping account which, from what I have read, is fairly close to what happened as much as a film can be. Is it a classic? I am not sure, but it does make me wonder if Tom Hanks is the most reliable actor in American film, has he ever been in a bad film? I am not a 100% fan of Saving Private Ryan largely because of the treacle tears Spielberg loads it with at the start and finish, but Hanks is constantly watchable.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

It is an adequate movie but I don't understand why it was so celebrated. I would say it is worth watching if nothing better is on.

The thing with Jaws is that it did not worked for me. Yeah, I know its a huge blockbuster, a true classic and people love it. I tried to liked too, but nope. I have this thing with Spielberg movies. I like some of them (tin tin, private ryan, minority report, ready player one, some parts of bridge of spies) and I HATE some of them (the post, close encounters...). Spielberg is hit or miss to me.

About Oceans, my bad It was late when I watched I just forgot to rate it. i like that one. its a solid 4/5. Its a fun movie, a nice way to turn the 'macho' around. All of them are funny as hell. The only thing missing is "the Soderbergh touch". The movie made a lot of money so I hope they will make another one.

Deadpool 2...the only bad thing about it is that you have to watch it several times to catch all of the missed jokes.

DEADPOOL 2 was just okay to me. Zazie Beetz was the best thing and she's only a few scenes. Hope her part gets way bigger in the next movie.

That god awful Death Wish.

Even the Charles Bronson ones is just straight up garbage

Oceans Eight, it was ok but I'm a fan of heist movies so I could be slightly biased.

Ready Player One (Steven Spielberg, 2018)

A film that cost over $175 million to make and looks fantastic should be much better than this. A quest film in which a virtual reality player called Parzival (as in the Holy Fool of legend who recovered the Holy Grail) must solve three puzzles to liberate the world from the bad guys, which he does and that is about it. The film is loaded with references to video games, films and characters but cannot get beyond any of this to engage anyone over the age of 14. And if they are over 14, I suspect they need to 'get a life'.
$175 million can do so much better in this world than waste two hours of your life.

I went to the movies for the first time in a long time to see Mission Impossible: Whatever yesterday. It cost thirtyfive bucks; sixteen for the movie, sixteen for the medium popcorn and coke, and three bucks for the candy I smuggled in. I walked two blocks to avoid the eight dollar parking fee. It was a good summer movie.

Blimey, guv. I went to my local cinema, a five minute walk away, and it cost me £5.99 or $7.7. I don't waste money on rubbish like popcorn.

Isle of Dogs (Wes Anderson, 2018)

Taking Fantastic Mr Fox to a new level, this is a wonderful example of the elaborate fantasy Anderson does so well, one is inclined to call it a 'shaggy dog' story but it is much more than that, and on a technical level may be superior to the techno-wizardy of Spielberg in Ready Player One. This is a triumph of film-making, and a joy to watch.

Am I reading this right; you haven't seen The Matrix until now?!

The American actor Burton Reynolds has died at the age of 82. He has over 180 credits in the IMDB but many are the tv appearances he made before he became more regularly cast in feature films. Although he showed a lot or promise in films like The Mean Machine (1974) and probably his finest dramatic role, Deliverance (1972) he preferred to specialise in light comedies or Hero films like Smokey and the Bandit (1977), Hooper (1978), Gator (1976) and many others. They were not my kind of films but successful at the box office. They are for the most part films in which the mythical pioneer of early America re-appears as a marginal but morally sound figure in a corrupt world. I think he wanted to be revered as a 'serious actor' and claimed to love the UK because the sense of humour has a self-deprecating irony most Americans seem unable to comprehend. Whatever the judgement, he made many entertaining films and a few great ones, and that is something to be proud of.

Does anyone know how to write the digit eight without it appearing as an emoji?

Nah, breh. Just a rewatch after I read an essay (about THE MATRIX AND FIGHT CLUB) on how stupid homophobic bros love those movies YET got everything wrong about it.
THE MATRIX: about the struggles of coming out written by two trans women. Plus, Agent Smith spends the entire movie refusing to refer to Neo by his preferred name. Morpheus and "The Red Pill" = the same colour as estrogen pills back in the day.

When I watched The Matrix back in 2000 I was just a kid who had no ideia about trans, gay, gender, race, non binary and other stuff. Plus I had no intelligence to deal with multiple layers of meaning.

FIGHT CLUB: about a critique of toxic masculinity written by a gay man.

acts of violence - a so so 'serious' action movie dealing (sort of) with human trafficing. features an extended cameo from bruce willis, probably the only thing that made me watch it.

i am omega - another trip to the richard matheson "i am legend". not entirely successful and very much a waste of mark dacasos who may not be the greatest, but i've always enjoyed him when i've seen him.

killing gunther - not as funny as it thinks it is, but has the distinction of being one of the better of arnie's second half movie career.

The Village (M. Night Shyamalan, 2014)

So, even Utopia has its problems.
The problem with M Night Shyamalan's films is that you know you are being set up in the first half of the film with a pivotal reveal to conclude the film that should have you gasping at his skill. It means you are constantly looking for clues and I guess once I worked out what the function of the monsters was, the rest fell into place, though the temporal shift at the end was not expected and well done if not sensational. The film is carried by a wonderful perfrmance from Bryce Dallas Howard, though what, in a manner of speaking, she sees in Joaquin Phoenix, a morose, dreary man we shall never know or care.

Nocturnal Animals (Tom Ford, 2016)

It is night, and the animals are roaming free. In a fictional night, it means intiimidation, rape and murder. In the real world it means Amy Adams c40 years old, weaing a body hugging designer dress with an open cleavage, seated at the table of a Japanese restaurant waiting for her her ex-husband -the author of the fictional film-within-the-film to arrive for their dinner date. At various times she has the most lustrous red hair, cascading down one side of her lovely face, designed to appeal. And does she appeal!

And that's about it, as pretty much everything that happens is boring and predictable. It gets a rating of 7.5 starts on IMDB which doesn't make sense, while the DVD cost me £5 in the shop, which doesn't make sense either as I bought The Village for £2 and it is a better film.

Johnny come lately - James Cagney.

I was forced to sit through Ocean's 8 again yesterday.

Awesome movie!

Rubber.
An odd movie about a murderous rubber tyre.
A tad too long for the material.
Includes the least wings Hauser wings Hauser appearance.

Those magnificent men in their flying machines.
Loved the fact the dvd included the intermission.
(An brought back memories of single screen cinemas, ushers, kiora orange drink, the thrill of the big curtain opening to herald the start of the programme......)

A Simple Favor

A very interesting movie with unexpected events. Keeps your attention. Worth watching.

dredd (2012)
watched in honour of judge dredd megazine reaching issue 400 and 2000ad about to reach issue 2100.
karl urban is great, lena headey is great. film is pretty good - suffers from comparisions with 'the raid'.

if i can find my copy of the stallone "judge dredd' i'll give that a watch as well.
