Dirty Harry
Always good to revisit every few years.
70s and funky, a bit dated……but yet so amazingly stylish. San Fran is as much of a star as anyone on screen.
….Clint rocks, the story rocks, the bad guy rocks and it pretty much single handely created the whole “renegade cop” genre of movies.
5 I know what you’re thinking out of 5 well do ya punk ?

Sure is.
Like loads of movies the first is an absolute classic ( and it really is ) and the rest are varying degrees of ok culminating in a pretty shite fifth one ( Liam Neeson and Jim Carrey are in that one )

That guy played four different parts in four different Dirty Harry flicks !

Licorice Pizza: I think I hate this movie. I really can't believe it is winning awards and getting critical acclaim. Awful characters, style over substance, a storyline that would be panned by all and sundry if reversed. Good soundtrack as to be expect from a PTA movie.
Early contender for worst movie of the year (TBF last years worst for me came out early in the year too).

Castaway
I'm sorry to say I don't think I've ever watched the film in its entirety. Very strong performance by Tom Hanks, I thought it did well to try and capture what his character's ordeal would have been like. It even had some jungle dentistry which looked harrowing. The end had Mrs CF sniffling in the back, a solid 4 Wilsons out of 5 lost courier parcels

The Kings Man
I love the premise and really enjoyed the first one, recapturing the old school fun aspects of “Bond”….but they seem to struggle to find what made the first one fun

Agreed
Shit
Was hoping they all went off the cliff as the truck was freewheeling backwards

Maybe the prequel is just a little too serious? Kingsman one especially was irreverant fun

watched The Fifth Element with the boys on Saturday (Stan has an entire genre of "90s nostalgia!)
Fuck that is an entertaining film.
The kids were so funny. First it was "this is just like Die Hard in space, this guy is always the same"
and then, on more occassions than i want to admit
"oh that's where that thing you say all the time comes from!" apparently it's very quotable.
4 multipasses out of 5 big bada booms

I never say ‘Lilu Dallas Multipass’ everytime I have to produce anything like an ID, that would be lame

God damn, I had forgotten how good the start of Red Dawn was. The great prologue, then immediately into some brutal action.
Soviet Union suffers worst wheat harvest in 55 years
Labor and food riots in Poland. Soviet troops invade
Cuba and Nicaragua reach troop strength goals of 500,000. El Salvador and Honduras fall
Greens party gains control of West German Parliament. Demands withdrawal of nuclear weapons from European soil
Mexico plunged into revolution
NATO dissolves. United States stands alone.

Not a movie, but have you read Red Storm Rising? It's tied for my fav book ever, and seems to be playing out for real right now

Batman movie is pretty good.
Real se7en light vibes and a well put together story with actual detective shit going on.
Some of the shots were amazing. Were a couple of clunky scenes and one silly “white people bad” line, but 99% was well done.
Son loved it, discarded the shit out of my daughter.
4 out 5 batarangs

Does it continue the continuity of Batman or is it yet another re boot ?

Multiverse Earth 2 version of Batman in his second year.
Flash movie will have Battfleck and Earth 89 Keaton Batman too. So at least three of the buggers running around this yeah.
