The "stagecoach" one was the weakest IMO. Overall, I enjoyed the vignettes. But certainly not the Coen Brothers' best effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dengler also revisits the sites of his capture and eventual escape from the hands of the Viet Cong, recreating many events for the camera. I forget what it’s called, but there’s a movie with Steve Zahn and Christian Bale of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 I’ve rewatched John Wick a few times since it’s come out. I think the reason I don’t connect with the character is because he’s so wasteful. He wastes bullets and his martial arts are all over the place, leaving him open to counters. He ruins his suits constantly. Iirc, this movie came out at the same time as the classic film The Raid: Redemption and everything in that film is super-economical.

The scene where he goes after Reek in the bathhouse and he pins a guy’s head to a countertop and shoots him twice—TWICE—at point blank range through the temple. I mean, come on. One bullet would do there, especially when you know there are a hundred more guys you’ve gotta shoot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the funny part: The judo and jiu jitsu community has consistently praised the John Wick movies as being incredibly realistic and efficient in their application of the arts. Reeves has been training under Rigan Machado for years. You literally could not be more wrong about this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m aware that actual IRL combat is messy and inelegant and, particularly as matches progress and the combatants tire, it gets sloppy. I’m referring to the viewing of John Wick as an action movie where the (my) expectation is unrealistic, balletic Jet Li/Chow Yun Fat action. It’s an aesthetic thing, I guess.

Also, regarding The Raid; The reason Mad Dog is such a beast is because nobody thinks to shoot a double leg on him and Rama has no jiu jitsu whatsoever. And that's the difference between The Raid and John Wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 The Tomb Raider reboot was a fun watch. Not going to try to over-intellectualize it. She's hot. The action is really good.

My son was with me, and he hated it. There were people grumbling in the theater, "I hope it's finally over." Definitely not for everyone. Rumor has it that the director's interested in making a 6 hour director's cut version. In the meantime, I plan on checking out other Terrance Malick flicks. The Thin Red Line and New World are available streaming on Netflix, I believe. The Thin Red Line is endless. Or at least it seems so. But it has some memorable scenes.

I'll buy it, even probably go see since it's a feel-good homage to Spielberg, but it's pretty hilarious that what finally made a Michael Bay/Mark Wahlberg-driven franchise finally work was keeping both of those guys as far away as possible from the movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Also, I have a friend that worked on the new Spiderman flick, Enter the Spiderverse. Was kind enough to invite me to a screening. I think it's clearly the best Spidey movie ever done and legitimately might be the best animated superhero film ever. Go see it in the theater, it's trippy as hell. Completely appropriate for kids too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay makes absolutely crap movies, and they all make massive profits, so he could care less.. They make sequels, sell toys. He wanted to make the TMNT be from outer space.

JustInFudge Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 My chick made me watch the movie Hereditary last night. It was like a weird drama done well mixed in with a really really stupid horror movie, like the dumbest horror movie ever made stupid. Full on eye roll, why did I just waste all that time at the end. So dumb. Dumbest ending to a movie maybe ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
