"I Am Vengeance
when I saw that title I thought it was one of the recent NIcholas Cage take any script films...
Are a few actors now who you see thier name as the lead on so many at the moment...seems to be a bit of a scatter gun appraoch, take on as many projects, one is bound to be good (Cage, TRavolta, Willis, Stoltz)
Better hope Liam Neeson doesn’t read this and get triggered you haven’t mentioned him.
It’s kinda sad ( if you can feel sorry for famous multi millionaires ) that these guys ( all of whom have made some brilliant movies in the past ) feel the need to resort to dialling in performances in flicks that you just know are gonna be utter shit without even seeing them.
I think a bunch of them actually need the money after divorce, bad investment and not handing over the government's share.

@Kruse after the joy that Taken 1 was (and I agree i shouldn't have had to type that "1" there), I'm prepared to allow him at least 10 shitty movies afterwards
Taken isn’t as good as people say it is.
It doesn’t justify the litany of shit he’s subsequently bombarded us with that’s for sure
Fuck off its not. This might be the dumbest thing you've ever posted here. And that's a deep field.

Airplane!
Like most comedy movies of this era, it crosses the line so much that they could never make it today. Genuinely, one of the funniest, if not the funniest movies ever made. Fully of classic slapstick, one liners and sheer comedy brilliance.
5 I'll take it black, like my men out of 5 that's not important right now.
I read they rewrote the entire jive dialogue as the scriptwriters admitted they were too Jewish to make it sound even comically authentic. I have watched that movie like 5 times and I still only get 50% of their jive talk.

Speaking of which, I see Wesley Snipes is in Coming to America 2. I think the IRS will be clipping the ticket on those wages pretty quick smart.

@MN5 boo! Take your attitude to the GoM thread pal
It’s definitely entertaining in one sense and Neeson obviously has the immortal lines....but the movie as an absolute whole ? Overrated.
Yeah, I barely finished it

This says it all. Roger Ebert is looking down from heaven and smiling at reviews like this

I can't agree with that. Decent story, good action, strong acting by Neeson, and Maggie Grace and Famke Jansen

Neeson doesn't deserve to be on that list, his movies all get cinema releases and make box office money unlike those three above (Stoltz will be happy to be included in those brackets).

By your logic Showgirls must be the greatest movie ever made.

@MN5 every rule has an exception. And the story was terrible
Says you. I for one can completely relate to Nomis trials and tribulations of trying to make it in the cutthroat world of Las Vegas entertainment.

Probably even his daughter Emma's list would beat his for quality.

Centurion on Netflix......
Always a good watch, Fassbender is a great hero, some nice supporting roles and banter ( even if I'd say 2nd century AD Britain didn't have too many Pakistanis or Black Guys but ah well ), stunning scenery, fight scenes, the third hottest Daniel Craig era Bond chick looking decent and menacing.......never ceases to be a good romp to watch every few years. The witch was pretty easy on the eye too.

Not much of value lol, but the guy has some serious volume of work. I don't know how he keeps getting a job, but he keeps getting booked ha ha.
