<p>Jack Ryan Shadow something: The latest Jack Ryan movie with the everywhere and overhyped Chris Kline as Jack. I find it odd he's a big star as Gerard Butler would out charisma him just picking his nose rather than shouting "This Is Sparta". Wasn't a bad movie, also had Kenneth Brangah as a russian baddie, Keira Keightly as Jack's girlfriend, and Kevin Costner as his mentor and boss. TBH, a movie based around Costner would have been more interesting.</p>

<p>I watched this last night, was decent enough, don't think Kline pulled it off though, someone <em>like</em> Chris Evans, Butler or Superman woulda worked better IMO.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nepia, I believe 3 Days to Kill is a movie of similar nature with Costner as the lead...I have it but haven't watched it yet (just over 2 hours)</p> -

<p>Agree on Chris Evans (actually Butler probably would be better too although I'm not a big fan of his). I've only seen Superman in Superman and didn't think much of that film so I'm unsure how he'd go, he might be too massive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've seen 3 Days to Kill, it's not really like Jack Ryan in any way. It's a bit of a mish mash ,,, which is understandable considering that Luc Besson wrote and produced it. It was a decent watch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Save the Date: Watched it because it had Annie from Community and Lizzy Caplan, it was an indie rom com. It wasn't very good.</p> -

<p>Because Batman and Catwoman had an inter-superhero baby.</p> -

<p>Bite your tongue, that's a classic cowl. Nice to Batman looking like Batman instead of an amoured motocycle rider. </p> -
<p>Wrong way round but check out photo 2. That cat has got to get his own movie.</p>

<p>Watched Conan for the first time since I was a kid. Pretty sure it's mandatory to watch <em>Highlander </em>now.<br><br>
Maybe Boorman's <em>Excalibur </em>too.<br>

They were just working with what they had...
-
<p>Some (probably most) 80's films dont hold up very well.</p>
<p>Tried watching the original Clash of the Titans a while back, barely made it through to the end.</p>
<p>The first Conan film was great, Destroyer was alot more cheesier and generally shittier.</p> -
<p>Ok so last night after the Hurricanes threw away their wicket so to speak I watched 47 Ronin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Worst movie I have seen for some time. Against my better judgement I watched this absolute shit of a movie. There are no redeeming features, no cool Keanu moments, no characters worth giving two shits about, no tits, no cool effects(they have tons of CGI but all looks dated) and surpisingly no cool martial arts or sword play. Im sure its the entire cast of The Last Samurai sans Cruise and Connelly. Except that movies despite Cruise didn't completely suck.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I like Keanu. He's Neo, Johnny Utah & Ted. Not to mention what ever his name was in Speed. He was a nonce in Dangerous Liasons , Much Ado About Nothing, Little Buddha and many other horrible movies but this was so, so bad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just avoid it really. Its not one of those sleeper hits that the critics got wrong. This isn't Dredd or Shanghai Knights no this is Ewe Bol with a budget.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The worst thing is....I asked my daughter to rent it for me through the xbox while I had a shower and when I got out my phone went off and I'd been sent an email receipt from Microsoft.....She bought the bloody movie!! $25!!</p> -

<p>For a really good recent Japanese samurai movie, I highly recommend 13 Assassins <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.metacritic.com/movie/13-assassins'>http://www.metacritic.com/movie/13-assassins</a></p> -

<p>Watched Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade last night. Still awesome totes amazeballs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>He chose..... poorly.</em></p> -
<p>Great topic btw. Old movies that still stand up today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sneakers(92). That movie is still great. All the tech is dated but the movie still good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Goonies(85). Watched this with raz jnr the other day. Probably my 30th time and I still love it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Evil Dead(81). Still all kinds of awesome.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They Live(88). Best fist fight ever.</p> -
I guess the ones that had 'cutting edge' sfx (or any...) in thier day are the ones that struggle today. <br><br>
Point Break, Princess Bride, Goonies, Indiana Jones films (bar the last one) back to the Future are all still awesome.<br><br>
Have introduced TR Jnr to most of the good age appropriate ones.
