purple_beard Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 @XLW Caught The Foreigner today. I dug it a lot. Finally a non-Comedic base Jackie Chan that was actually good. I liked how Chan pulled off some good dramatic stuff as well as his martial arts fare. I thought it was also a cool twist so to speak that he could do Spec Ops tactics like making home made bombs, booby traps, and camouflage/infiltration. I also really liked Brosnan playing bad ass Irishman from the IRA side of things but having to play the political game now. The only flaw I would go to in the movie is it seemed like it had too many plot twists but they weren't overbearing and were more of a motivational plat out of the course of animosity. I was kind of surprised that given Chan's discussion with the police chief that he didn't go after that guy as hard as he went after Brosnan's character.

I just got a job at a theater myself, now I can finally start seeing movies when they come out. Hope to have a list like yours pretty soon. Doc Brown and Samus2008 2 Quote Link to comment

Last movie I've seen at my place was Battle of The Sexes, featuring Emma Stone, Steve Carrel, Sarah Silverman, and the guy who plays Dr. Cox in Scrubs. Great movie. Young P 1 Quote Link to comment

The intro tells you that the community is wholy super white. Once an African American family comes in well... there is some awkwardness when the mailman comes.

I've been interested in seeing it, but some commercials play it off like a comedy, and others play it off otherwise. Quote Link to comment

Its something alright. I really have to say 90% is about people being assholes that being the white community in this movie or the main cast. There are some good people that I rooted for (especially the family that comes in the intro) but expect to hate most of the cast... in a good way atleast... it's hard to explain...

Eliwoodman12 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Loved though, even though the humor/style was more in the veins of GotG compared to the first two Thor movies. Quote Link to comment
Laclipsey Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Oh my goodness my friend just got us tickets to go see Tommy Wiseau doing a live showing of The Room later this month. I might die of happiness. Samus2008 1 Quote Link to comment
Ridley Prime Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Speaking of Tommy Wiseau, that Disaster Artist... Loved Thor Ragnarok. Up there with the best Mahvel films. "Casual Trash" Kirbys and Link, the Hero of Dreams 2 Quote Link to comment

IMO, The Flash, had issues as in not being a CSI guy yet but had the suit.... and I believe they said he wasn't yet doing anything for Star Labs either. Quote Link to comment

Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Saw Daddy’s Home 2. Got some laughs out of it, even though the story is eh. Quote Link to comment
purple_beard Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Just finished The Punisher. It will be one of my top NF/Marvel series they have done. Up there with DD S1, JJ S1, and The Defenders. Quote Link to comment
Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Saw the remake of Murder On The Orient Express. You have to be on drugs to appreciate the ending. Because I was confused, and this whole movie is confusing. It's literally a mystery. Quote Link to comment
