Was knackered after a night in Auckland so on Sunday during a channel surf, The Magnificent 7 just started so I decided to watch.
What a cool movie!!! It kind of works better without the special effects!
Remake or original?
Original. Is there a remake? Is the remake shit?
Yeah came out couple years ago, Chris Pratt is in it. Thats all i can think (ive never seen it)
Original is a classic, Steve McQueen is the man.
It sure is, what a collection of old school tough guys every single one of whom is sadly pushing up daisies.
McQueen was probably only the 3rd or 4th coolest in the Seven though......Bronson, Coburn and Brunner were sensational.
Sadly, This was the first time I have watched it and I recorded the last 25 mins as I needed to feed up the farm.
Went to watch it last night and the misses had accidently deleted it! I was gutted.
Should be easy enough to find somewhere though to watch

Speaking of which, church across the road had their annual gala day. Had a look and they had the original Star Wars trilogy for sale in VHS. No big deal of course but with Star Wars you can’t get hold of the original uncut unbastardized version on either DVD or digital. Only VHS or laser disk

I know I should see this before reviewing, but I'm prepared to make a prediction and say you should see it. A cross between Unforgiven and Gran Torino
Yeah, I was right. Much more Gran Torino than Unforgiven.
3 beaners out of five crackers.

A movie with Clint in it automatically get's at least 4 out of 5
Aw actually,apart from "Every which way but loose" and "Any which way you can"

Surely a Clint Eastwood fan would have already watched it..?

I'm ashamed to say I haven't.

Maybe Im not as big a fan of Clint as I thought I was. I have no desire to see what was once a fairly large screen presence dwindle away to skeletal and ancient. It's not how I choose to remember Clint.
Also MN5 Bloodwork, Trouble With The Curve and Absolute Power were absolute shit.

I didn't mind Trouble with the Curve, although I'm quite a fan of the baseball movie as a genre.
The Mule was ok, but the threesome scenes were just weird ... I assumed they were taken from the story it's based on, but nope, just Clint wanting to show the world he's still got game I guess.

Triple Frontier
I flicked past the reviews on this as it was on my Flix list.
About an hour too long, which meant I flicked through the movie a bit as well. Besides the primary action scene - which IMHO was too soon in the movie - the whole "struggle" back half of the movie just didn't resonate.
2.5 clever paint jobs out of 5 hot South American chicks.

@NTA for some reason I think they seem to like his swagger and the way he acts as he seems to play the same kind of character for the varied roles.
Interestingly, I believe he turned down the lead role in 50 Shades due to not wanting to be type cast following it...

He turned it down as it was a few weeks after the end of SOA, and he couldn’t get his head around changing characters so drastically in a short time.
I also think he wanted to dodge the bullet when he saw the script
the “writer” and I use that term lightly had an unusual amount of power on set and didn’t take alterations well. -

I first saw him in Undeclared and completely didn't recognise him when I saw SOA. He didn't have that swagger back then.

He was also in Queer as Folk. Slightly different swagger in that.

I have memories of that being big in the UK when I was living there, but I didn't really watch any tv then ... WTF did I use to do with my time?
