Review the last movie you watched

Watched Death Wish the other night with Bruce Willis.
Good movie. Family attacked, wife murdered in Chicago. Police useless. He turns to vigilante justice.
Seems appropriate these days.
 
Just watched: the Great War with Ron Pearlman and Billy Zane. Netflix B budget but what a great story and well acted. About a lost company of Buffalo soldiers on the final day of WWI.

A small band of men sent to find them and the racism of the time.

Based on a true story it was surprisingly exciting.

I give a thumbs up

I love Densel Washington and Keanu Reeves movies .. Very fast action movies ... The equalizer 1 and 2 I have watched numerous times along with John Wick 1 2 3. All the Wick movies were good but it is hard to think of them as separate movies, I see them as whole, a trilogy, where one feed into the other. Some of the fight scenes in John Wick 3 were awesome, the use of dogs in the fight scenes was very creative and one I have not seen very often. I also watched the matrix 1 2 3 multiple times... not just because it was one of the cutting edge movies when it came out in terms of special effects ( bullet time was awesome) ... but because I am a big fan of Carrie Anne Moss ( yum yum). Those are some of the movies that I have watched recently. Another actor I love for comedy Is Melissa McCarthy she is hilarious, I love her in the movie Spy the best, but her other movies are close behind.
 
Charles bronson did the original
It's worth a watch
He was in real life one hard dude
Used to do bare knuckle fights and grew up as coal miner.

Definetly agree. The original is better imo.. The first 3 parts are great. havent seen 4 and 5 recently to remember them for sure. Bronson was awesome though! He didn't chat up the bad guys with a big spiel first, dance around, whatever. He just pulled the trigger, walk away.

I recall reading a story about the director discussing the Death Wish story idea with Mr Bronson saying, so this guy goes out and kills criminals. He responds, yeah that's a great, we should do that! The directly replies, I know, I think it's a great movie idea as well. To which Mr. Bronson replies, no I mean, we should be able to go out and kill criminals. Lol. I don't know if that's a true story, but I did read it somewhere. Interview with the director looking back at the film or something.
 
Today I’m watching Alfred Hitchcock movies I just love what he has done for the movie industry amazing work I believe I have seen all his movies.

Just look at him, he looks like a tough dud. I had watched a lot of Bronson movies a long while ago. Remember going to one and was riding this big white buffalo beast ... for the life of me can't remember the name of it ... time for a look up ... 1977-The White Buffalo lol
 
Last night was Deliver us from Evil with Eric Bana....cop, Jesuit priest, demons brought back from Iraq by a gulf war veteran doing very bad stuff! It was really quite good!

Second time I watched. Liked it so much in 2014 that I saw it was on and watched it.

Still good.

K-PAX about a guy who seemingly appears out of nowhere and a NYC psychatrist has to figure out if he really is from another planet like he claims or not. Was good. More of a mainstream type movie, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey. The end, well I won't say. Dont wanna ruin it for anyone. Maybe 7.5/10
 
This weekend was really good!

Caught Greyhound with Tom Hanks WWII Atlantic crossing of a US Destroyer vs Nazi wolf pack subs protecting merchant vessels. great film!!

Watched Upgrade a Sci Fi about he plot to implant a super computer chip in an auto mechanic.
Excellent plot, many twists and turns unbelievably violent and well acted.

A must watch!

Watched Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein just cause!!

I bet few know who " Abbott and Costello " where
I grew up watching them and many other great but mostly forgotten comedians
 
Went to the theatre and watched Unhinged. I enjoyed it. I thought it had some good suspense, action, drama, twists. A little more violent than I was expecting. Doesn't bother me, but just sayin. The end was interesting. I mean, I may have gone a different way with very end, but at same time, it works, I get why they did it that way. I like Russell Crowe, he seems cool.

7.5/10.
