Watching minority report tonight. What a great film!

WestRace · 09-25-2019, 12:19 AM

Not sure why I keep watching this movie again and again. I feel like Groundhog Day lols.

Teufel_Hunden · 09-25-2019, 08:21 AM

Watched Deadwood last night.

Yeah it was one of my favorite travel-back-in-time movie. Too bad it's not true in real life. Oh well just another lie from Einstein we have to get used to :-)

I'm partial though as I've been in Aikido for close to 20 years, and there are a lot of Aikido techniques in the action scenes. But this was the first movie in the series where I seen what is basically the unbendable arm transition into the slap to the head.....but it was nice change up.

Most have been generic wrist locks that transition to throws. You can tell Reeves has had some training as he keeps some pretty tight circles while working.

Maybe I just need to watch it again. I get that some movies will speed scenes but my recollection is that 'the bad guys' were moving at an expected speed but Wick was slower.

It is always cool to see movies that use techniques you know. I almost never see Pancrase used in any movie. lol Muay Thai...some.

Keanu's dedication to training for his roles is admirable. Even more so that he is supposed a pretty down to earth person in real life, too.

True...maybe they were trying to keep it realistic as chronologically throughout the movies, he's taken some beat downs too.

But that's what I like....not everyone is "on their game" 100% of the time......if so, might as well portray them as a superhero.

Like you, I enjoy looking for people who've actually done their homework....especially if it's not something they are particularly known for!

Same here. First two were infinately better!

We watched Anna last night. Highly recommended as it's a great blend of action, drama, and some humor at times.

It's one of those movies where you don't really get a chance to figure out what is going to happen.....it shows you the final situation and then back-tracks and shows how it got to that point.

This happens multiple times until finally tying everything together in the end.

All in all, it was a refreshing change of pace and kept us entertained throughout!

1MOREMOD · 09-30-2019, 09:30 AM

Finally saw jw3 last night good but not as good as previous ones i dont think

TXSTYLE · 09-30-2019, 11:46 AM

Fellas if you want to pick a movie that your girl will love and surprise her with your "Romantic Comedy" side, this is your flick!
Watched this with the wifey and it is VERY funny!

Alexandra Daddario has the most piercing Blue eyes, but she is naturally funny too.

1MOREMOD · 09-30-2019, 12:28 PM

Does she get naked?

Hahaha! Good question. Yes. Unfortunately, not for the viewers.

Looks like one of those overly cute romantic comedy with an over the top ensemble cast that you probably shouldn't watch if you're above a certain age. I always feel guilty watching these types of movie thinking I just got too much time to waste. There are probably millions of things better to do in three hours. But I could be wrong :-)

I rented John Wick 3 last night and thought the best part was Halle Berry. I appreciate the fighting and weapons but I found it a bit over the top even for John Wick. Funny, I met Halle back around ’90, she was beautiful then but today she’s still one of the most beautiful women.

I thought it was alright. Didn’t quite get the hype and great ratings. Was maybe a B or B+ for me.

1MOREMOD · 10-05-2019, 09:21 PM

I thought she was the worst part, her dogs were a good addition but she fought like a grandpa standing still doing mr miyagi impression.

EDWYER · 10-05-2019, 11:35 PM

Saw Joker. Joaquin freaking killed that role!!

TXSTYLE · 10-06-2019, 04:17 PM
