Danger Close
Seemed like an appropriate weekend to watch it. Not bad at all. Black Hawk Down-esque in its faceless enemy. Not a big budget war movie by any stretch, but a pretty good movie none the less.

Wrong. It's shit.

Hi. My name is R. L and I am a Top Gun fan....
Finally watched it. I am now Hot for pilots. Like seriously hot...
Jeeeeeeesus that was good, had it all, action, sexiness, sweatiness, tears, that old bird. I mean Val was obviously the highlight but I even fancied Tom a bit too,which is an absolute first. His laugh still annoys me, but you can't have it all.Pheeeeew Hot.
Especially loved this little moment..
5 loving feelings out of 5 danger zones.Watch out @Snowy ! Thankfully she didn't mention Navs/RIOs so I'm safe
On a Families Day, I was showing kids around the cockpit of the Tornado. I was explaining the ejection seat to a kid around 8 I guess.
Me 'So when you pull the handle both seats fly out of the plane on rockets, and you have a parachute to land'
Kid 'Yeah I know, the guy in the back hits the canopy though and dies' -

I'm more Nick "Goose" Bradshaw looking (and that was some time ago in my dreams) than the other two so I doubt that I am going to get stalked although I'm sure @R-L would be a lovely stalker.
That movie actually started me flying so I can understand the fandom. I'm too tall to fit in an Skyhawk so couldn't go RNZAF (fast jets anyway). Think Jester flew a Skyhawk in the movie didn't he?

It was billed here as being an accurate representation of the Battle of Long Tan. It's not and the portrayal of Smith and Stanley is utterly ridiculous, just to give two examples.

@Bones said in Re: Movie review thread...:
@RoninWC see @Scorz was saying Extraction is utter shit. Are you more trustworthy by still being on the fern or is it vice versa?
I watched it last night, it wasn't great, had some good action sequences though so I enjoyed it enough in that respect. As @RoninWC says not as good as a Wick film though.
Mild spoiler, doesn't really give away the story etc but up to you if you read:
:::
The 'baddies' are basically cops or army of the nation they're in rather than the drug kingpins men ... so that was a bit strange. I thought they could have made an effort to make it dodgy cops/army.
:::
Had a hot chick fire a rifle.

@Machpants it was short lived you are both safe, I suspect its just Val Kilmer sweaty that did it

Judging from recent pics of Val I suspect he'd get sweaty walking from the couch to the cupboard to get some more chocolate biscuits.

Better than I was expecting. I only liked a few of their songs (So watcha want, Root down, 3 MC's and 1 DJ...) so I'm hardly a fan
That scripted stage show format could have been a disaster but it worked well enough
They really repeated a few points over and over though. Yes, yes I get it, you didn't treat that girl very well

Hahaha, fair call.
I did only give it a decent rating, especially after watching the other two movies.
I thought it was a pretty decent action movie with good gun fights. There is a lot worse dross out there but sure, there are many far better movies.
But if you want a 117 minutes of escapist entertainment, there are worse ways to do it.

My new rating for Netflix movies: Is it better than The Last Thing He Wanted? If it can't meet that hurdle, it's a no.

Bonnie and Clyde
Another classic movie that is appearing on one of the Sky movie channels at the moment. I hadn't seen this movie in a long time and was keen to watch again after viewing The Highwaymen last year (which I enjoyed). This movie is rated highly by the likes of Roger Ebert and received 10 Academy nominations, including for the 5 main cast. We also had Gene Wilder's film debut, as well as Uncle Jesse as Frank Hamer.
But somehow this wasn't as good as I remember. I really like some movies from this era but this isn't one I need to watch again.
