The Losers
 
Movie based on a comic book about some black ops guys being lined up for the chop by Jason Patric after they grow a conscience in the middle of the Bolivian jungle.
 
The guy who played The Comedian in Watchmen is the lead, Captain America guy is in it, along with Idris Elba playing a yank hard nut, and Zoe Saldana gives partial boobage and a fair bit of tail.
 
Watchable, glad it was on Netflix for free. Some of the comedic stuff was alright, particularly the "telekinesis" in the lift lobby of the huge corporation.
 
2.5 Jason Patrics out of 5

Only the dead - a war doco with Aussie Michael Ware. Pretty graphic film about him in Iraq in 2003 and his involvement with al Zarquawi. Ware narrating and starring with real footage as well, shows you a bit more than you get on the 6pm news for 80mins, not a film you can say you enjoy (due to content and graphic nature) but certainly keeps your attention.

What strange world you must live in where you don't know Chris Evans' name but you do know "Jason Patric"'s.

I was a big Lost Boys fan in Uni when Vampires were last in their "cool" phase. The name kind of stuck because who the fuck spells Patrick without a k on the end?
 
Chris Evans? Must be a fucking ton of blokes called that.

Vampires have always been the Nancy's of the monster world . I don't recall them ever being that cool, they are usually camper than s row of tents .

NTA

Kiefer Sutherland's lot in Lost Boys did an alright job.

Blade, Underworld and Van Helsing...I think it is just those near dark gimps that ruined it!

Rembrandt

Interview with a vampire was alright too right? Also remember lost boys as being genuinely cool and scary..I won't dare watch it now to ruin those memories!

NTA

Yeah same - at the time, I was doing RPG for Vampire: The Gathering 
 
I was sooooooo cool ;)

It was cool and scary and was filmed in Santa Cruz its awesome as the amusements are still there on the beach. Apparently every summer they do a free beach screening of it.

Back in those days the WWE (then WWF?) even had a vampire wrestler, Gangrel (cue thunderclap).
 
Edit: actually there were a bunch of them, including Gangrel's team "The Brood".

Movie binge last night.
 
Fury: Really good WW2 'based on true events' flick. Brad Pitt was excellent. Good filmmaking all round. 8 mow down the Nazi SS troops out of 10.
Spotlight: Another based on real events movie, all star cast show how the Boston Globe newspaper brought to light the depth of abuse within the Catholic Church. Very well done. 7 fuck the cover ups out of 10.
Aloha: Cameron Crowe made Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous. Since then it has been pretty much all shit, and this was about the worst. What the fuck did I just see? Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, Bill Murray, John Krasincki, Alec Baldwin not even able to rescue the most jumbled, random, disconnected plot ever. (The movie got panned for the whiteness of the cast, but damn, that is just one of the issues.) Imagine if you will, a mash up of Hawaiian myths and legends, US Air Force, old boyfriend/girlfriend, drunken disco dancing, IT billionaires and satellites, killer Pakistani mercenaries, who is your real father reveals, and colonialism issues/negotiations. In a Rom Com. 1 WTAF out of 10.

It is great to see everyone getting on board with the NTA Flexible Ratings System.

Watched The Revenant on the plane. After the hype, the awards, and then the mixed reviews on here, i wasn't sure what to expect.
 
I fucking loved it. What a beautiful movie. Yes, it's a revenge movie, but really it's a survival movie, about how much mother nature can fuck us up. The visuals, and especially the sound, were just incredible (planes allowing you to use your own headphones has definitely improved this area). That bear attack looked really, really fucking cool. 
 
8 unintelligible Tom Hardy words out of 10

Nepia

Everybody Wants Some!! The spiritual sequel to Dazed and Confused by Richard Linklater. I thought this was great, funny and rambling. About a bunch of college baseball players partying over the weekend before college classes start.
 
Lots of pretty girls, only one set of boobies though M4L/Jegga, scattered throughout the movie and the guy character's were mostly funny.
 
Set in the early 80s, so still looks really 70s.
 
8.5 bongs and funnels out of 10.

mariner4life

i saw the ad for that and thought it looked pretty good. Loved D&C, glad to hear this measures up.

Yes, I give the rating system a solid 4 fat yellow props going backwards but only because the ref is shit and has no clue what is going on because the yellow props are actually better but the opposition have some sort of iconic myth behind them out of 5.

I give your comment 4 All Black fans who never admit the opposition were better than them, only that their own team played shit, out of 5.

No Quarter

A couple of Liam Neeson films.
 
A Walk Among Tombstones.
Pretty dark movie and not quite what I expected, especially the part at the beginning when he is shooting up the bad guys and one of the bullets go astray. Enjoyable enough though. 3 gun toting alcoholics out of 5.
 
Taken 3.
Pretty much as expected, Liam Neeson fucking bad guys up for fun. Slight plot twist at the end but don't go into the movie with any expectations other then Neeson being a bad ass. 3 special sets of skills out of 5.
