News Poster's Favorite Movies - Latest Movie Seen

[John Who]

Have you seen Metro with Eddie Murphy?

Just saw Metro last night. Good movie for its time. It was a bit too long though. Great dialogues during the negotiation scenes!

Inside man with Denzel and Clive Owen is a great movie.

Will be on the lookout for this soon..

Equaliser with Denzel was good. I've watched Shooter with Wahlberg many a fine.

Seen Shooter, that was great movie! Re-watch ranking

Check out either The Raid, John Wick and their sequels.

Have not seen the Raid.
John Wick 1 was great. Keanu Reeves is doing some great movies of late!

If you're into your foreign horror films, then these 2 are recommended:
1. The Eye
2. Shutter

There were Hollywood remakes of these films, but nowhere near as good. Asian girls with long dark hair make natural scary-looking ghosts!

Wayne's-World I think Sweet Country is now screening if you want to give Aussie movies another chance

It maybe fantastic .....but i'm completely scarred with Australian Films & their constant themes ....i won't be a viewer

I'm still recovering, under doctors care .....from watching "Strictly Ballroom"

Really? It's not even remotely in that sort of category.

It’s Australian .... nothing else has to be said

So I finally watched John Wick, not bad if you can ignore the silly plot and flaws in the story line

If you watch action movies mainly for the plot, then...you're not watching it right! lol

Really there was a plot?



( i didnt need a plot, i liked the action)

There are plenty of quality action movies that have plots.

SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE THAT HAVENT SEEN IT





After sacrificing his son to appease Wick, the mob boss then decides to kill Wicks mate who then of course seeks vengeance. Just dumb.

You're probably right, the plot was ice thin and I can barely remember what the point of the movie was other than to use plenty of bullets and kicks!
The reality though, most action movies are usually 90 minutes long to suit the newer generation of movie buffs. Very hard to build a story with the time limits, when you also have to include the mandatory action sequences. So invariably, plots are just variations of past action movies with minor permutations of character names and sequences.
In case anyone was wondering, the formula for action movies goes like this:
- few minutes of backdrop to tell you who the main "goodies" are
- good guy(s) have some s**t happen to them by the bad guy
- some kicks and bullets fly around
- bad guy dies (usually) or is handcuffed to prison
- good guy rides off to the horizons or dies with the bad guy

Again though, action movies can still be quality movies, Wick besides the action wasn’t.

Anything with Keanu Reeves is s red flag for me these days.

Anyone see Knock Knock? Oowf. It's one that is so bad you have to see it.

Easy A - was an enjoyable movie.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Easy A - was an enjoyable movie.

Then you'd enjoy "The Duff"

 

[FR0GGY]

I was at least expecting Hillary or Hayley, kind of disappointed.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Then watch "Atomic Blonde" .....just as much action, but better storyline

Transformers Movies have no plot ......you check your brain in at the ticket office

Didn't enjoy it? .....just assumed if you liked "Easy A" , you'd like "The Duff" ? ......thought the lead actress was good in the role?

Yes
Won best picture in 2004
Beat Brokeback Mountain I think
( not that that would have been hard - terrible film)

Once you get past the man on man stuff I thought Brokeback was a brilliant movie.

I get annoyed with the pistol punching thing. You font need to propel the firearm forward as you shoot, just let the gunpowder do its work. This phenomenon has reared its head in a few action flicks of late.

Went to see The Post yesterday, and frankly I was disappointed. I normally don't mind 'dry' dramas with little action, but to me it seems this is a true story that just doesn't work on film. No wonder the movie posters had Streep and Hanks' names in huge lettering and the actual title in smaller letters and a subordinate position.
