[QUOTE=Esteban;27644406]I saw Faster, Rick, and liked it.

The killer in Faster, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, is in another movie I liked: The Invisible Man 2020, starring Elisabeth Moss.

* Violent film and only in hollywood you survive a head shot or two lol but slept well after it. Having a break from killing films as my partner wants to watch some more rom/coms.

While not a movie, but a series…….

….I absolutely love "Chicago P.D.". Dick Wolf is a series mastermind, and whoever writes for the character "Sergeant Hank Voight" is genius. The way he straddles the line between good cop and bad cop, doing bad shit for the right reasons…..his bravado and signature gravelly voice tone, I just love it.

Oh….and "Suits"….yet another show where I want to give every writer a hand job or a lil' fingering (…whichever applies). The writing is impeccable!

My wife and I watched this just the other night. It's a slow burn and excellent actors/characters. We enjoyed it despite it not getting the best reviews.

Watched some of it last night. Will finish it hopefully today. I have it for 2 days. Enjoying it so far. I try not to listen to reviews too much (although they do give you some insight) but this is on demand and I'm paying for it. Hate to pay for a crappy movie but this isn't crappy and most every movie I've seen with Denzel is good.

It's the movies, Rick. Where anything can happen, like this movie which has way too much fun, starring the (ex) governator. lol

Must have seen this one about 4-5 times like everyone else Steve, a great fun film.
I believe Arnie was banned from going back to Austria? because he had a killer executed while governor.

Only 4 or 5? I used to watch it with my son over and over. He loved it. Probably every boy's dream. lol

Usually once is enough for me so a few times is more than enough.

Yeah, I used to tape movies and watch them several times. Now, once is all I need. When my kids were little, I enjoyed watching their favorites with them over and over.

We have a bunch of movies on VHS at the family cottage, when my kids were growing up I bet I watched 101 Dalmations over 101 times.

Wife and I finished watching Black Swan. An excellent psychological thriller, and great performances all around, definitely worthy of Portman's Oscar. Great twist ending too and overall very interesting while building tension and suspense to the ending.

Saw this one few years ago, disturbing and there's a price to pay ultimately for fame.

“Army of The Dead” on Netflix - loved it! While I’m not a fan of zombie-type films, this one was very entertaining, with a clever plot, a touch of humor and decent acting.

Agree. While not the best of his works, is still a good watch if you are a fan of Denzel.

M5Rick · 05-31-2021, 09:11 AM

Jamie Luner as Marianne Danforth chasing after her prey with a knife at the end is a spitting image of O'Reilly in Terminator 2 chasing after Terminator and the kid.

Watched Army of the Dead yesterday. I'm a zombie movie fan and I liked it. I don't in expecting award winning acting and take these movies at face value as they're often times have campiness intentionally baked in.

I didn't realize Snyder also did Dawn of the Dead. I guess this makes 2 movies of his that I liked. I'd be game for a sequel to 'Army' and the rumored Dieter spin-off.

M5Rick · 05-31-2021, 10:21 AM

The scene of the Aboriginee kid halting the cattle herd from going over the cliff is the best from this film.
