watched two movies over the weekend with the kids
Ford v Ferrari
This is pretty good. Simple story of Ford deciding to try and win Le Man. Carried by the ability of Matt Damon and most especially Christian Bale (playing what i expect is christian bale in real life). Of course this movie being American you need bad guys, so that's Ferrari (because damn foreign types) and fluffybunnies in suits (management fucking over the working man). Both are way too overplayed.But it's a cool little movie that i really enjoyed. Bale's wife is pretty freaking cute too
6 hot brakes out of 7 thousand revs
And then Sunday it was education time in the Mariner household, so we watched Terminator 2
This movie still fucking rules. At the absolute pinnacle of both action and sci fi movies. The set pieces are fucking ace. The graphics definitely still hold up. Yes Furlong is a dick. Yes Sarah Conner is waaaay overdoing it. But it's the two best terminators of the entire series going at it.
5 surprisingly accurate mini guns out of 5 grenades in your mother fucking shoulder!

Pffft, you need to torture yourself more then......
Funny how both massive 80’s sci fi franchises ( Alien and Terminator ) started with a great flick, had a sequel that was EVEN better, tanked with a third and had rapidly diminishing results after that.......Alien has saved it somewhat with Prometheus and Covenant ( I know not everyone agrees with this ) but Terminator is an absolute dumpster fire now.

completely disagree about the Terminator the highlight before it jumped the shark was a classic tale called "the Penetrator"..not work safe, needless to say there were a few Sarah Connors in the phone book to get through!

I found a movie for you to review, for the good of The Fern!

Fuck. Me.
Fair enough... that looks like a career highlight in the making.
I'd already lined up Monster Hunter, Trigger Point, Willy's Wonderland, and some guy called Zack's fan-flick version of Justice League.
But this looks like a priority. -

Well - yeah, I suspect he's a product of the same parent company which sold TVs and shit in China under the brand-name ISONYI (with the I's in a much, much lighter grey than the rest)

True but sometimes knock offs are so good you can’t even tell them from the originals

The Foreigner
Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan4 OAPs out of 5 IRAs
Yeah, enjoyed that. Chan's acting was pretty good too

Thought Prometheus was great and set up a great sequel. Sadly that sequel -
Alien Covenant - was crap.I

Fuck, I do love me some knock-offs, and the labelling on them. Living in China a while back, the corner DVD-stores were awesome, the electronics stores were sweet, the mall-stalls selling Rolexes were a bargain, and then you find a proper alleyway market - with child's toys like this. Some - good enough to photograph, although I'd struggle to find the photos I bothered taking - amidst the other constant insanity.
"Door Ladder" - however - has me especially bemused, and amused. -

Nice. The closest I could come up with was "When is a Door not a Door... when it's a-Jar...-Jar Binks"
And couldn't find any language where a ladder might become binks -

This table reading of the never produced Commando II script is absolute gold.
It was written in deliberately over the top style by Steven de Souza of Die Hard, 48 Hrs, Commando, and The Running Man fame.
COMMANDO 2
Hosts STEPHEN SCARLATA (producer "Jodorowsky's Dune") and JOSH MILLER (screenwriter, "Sonic The Hedgehog") talk with writer-director Joe Begos ("VFW", "Bliss") and producer-editor Josh Ethier ("VFW", "Bliss") about the attempted sequel to Arnold Schwarzenegger's 80s action classic COMMANDO. For...
