MOVIES to WATCH

[maldorf]

I literally hate everyone except Greg.

Oh yes! I forgot about him. He is a decent guy and smarter than he lets on. I like how he saved those papers. He gets treated like crap by Tom. I feel a little bit sorry for Tom because he married Shiv. Shiv is a good name for her, like the prison weapon!

Just started watch The Wire. HBO series back in 02.

I finished that one last week. Great series! Each season is good and worth the watch. The season where the one police chief creates Hamsterdam is really good.

IMO, The Wire and maybe Mad Men are the two best television dramas of all time.
Season 1 of the Wire is impossible to NOT watch haha

Greg is dumb but he’s a quick study as the seasons progress.

Film school. Cool. I am impressed. I cut my teeth shooting stills on student films
for some very talented students at art school. Made a lot of contacts that served
me very in career after I left school.

Regarding Mad Men. I think this was my favorite. Watched it many times. That and the
Wire which I am watching now, changed the 'face' of TV, the viewing habits of millions
of people world wide. Good stuff.

I just went old school with Easy Money and Caddyshack. I loved Rondey Dangerfield movies. I helped that I had some nice Indica to go with both. Tonight it'll be Back to School.

Today my blu ray copy of Cobra starring Stallone arrived. It came out the same year as Rocky 4 and it’s basically a series of music videos like that one was.
The story goes that movie’s original cut was rated X for gore and violence. Something like 45 min was cut mostly from the murder scenes with that bad ass knife the Night Stalker used. Supposedly that original cut was floating around back in the day on VHS but in ruff unfinished form.

I recently watched "Light of My Life" on Amazon Prime and found much enjoyment in doing so.

Those three movies and the Lite beer commercials he used to do....Rodney was the BEST! When he did stand-up his rapid-fire one liners would have people in tears from laughing so much.

I just started DEN OF THIEVES on Netflix. Good cast: Gerard Butler, Pablo Schrieber, 50 Cent. Gotta love FIDDY!!!

Just finished DEN OF THIEVES! Excellent movie!!!

Looking forward to seeing the final episode of "Homeland" this Sunday. Definitely one of my favorite shows of the last decade. Hard to believe the show started in 2010. Homeland, Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, 24, The Wire, some of my all-time favs......

My wife and I have been watching the whole series and it’s one of the best we’ve seen!

 

[Reporich]

Whats the deal with WACO been hearing a thing or two about it, anyone here into it?

Watched it this week and it was good, unfortunately I’m old enough to remember when it went down.
It’s scary to see the feds screw things up that bad!

Yeah, I remember too, and Ruby Ridge. Back then we didn't know all of the details about how they died in the compound. The ATF really did a bad job there.

 

[maldorf]

The ATF is still saying that the branch davidians set the fire. The world will never know for sure.

RELUCTANT ACTOR VERNON WELLS DIDN'T REALLY WANT ANY OF HIS ICONIC '80S ROLES

If you grew up in the '80s, or are just fascinated by the fact that such a decade even existed, then odds are good you know Vernon Wells’ face, if not his name. That’s because the well-traveled character actor with a flair for baddies had four iconic ‘80s parts — from Wez, his first film role as the mad mohawked marauder in 1981’s Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior; to Lord General, basically the same part, just in suburban Chicago, for John Hughes’ 1985 sci-fi teen comedy Weird Science; to Bennett, the chainmail-vested, steam-blowing psycho who kidnaps Arnold Schwarzenegger’s kid (Alyssa Milano) in 1985’s Commando; to Mr. Igoe, the silent-but-deadly mechanical-handed henchman in Joe Dante’s 1987 super-shrinker Innerspace.

Wells has worked steadily ever since, too (including playing Ransik in 2001’s Power Rangers Time Force), so much so that IMDb credits him with 195 roles, though he tells SYFY WIRE that’s underreported, and “it’s way over 200 now.” While we didn’t get into all of those credits while speaking with Wells about his latest film, Impact Event, the actor did take us down memory lane for a jaunt, recalling all those beloved roles above, some of which he seemingly took in spite of deep misgivings.

But first, we were curious to hear about playing an off-type geology professor in his recently released VOD film, Impact Event, in which a meteor causes a global apocalypse that finds a group of hopeful survivors taking shelter in an abandoned funhouse, only to be found highly appetizing by a group of cannibalistic killers.

MURDER DEATH KOREATOWN...it was so awesome IMO, although i realize it might not be for everybody. i will only say this, for me, this was Blair Witch Project done better, what Blair Witch Project could have been.

 

[Samson250]

CBS brought back Sunday night Movies and are playing Raiders of the Lost Arc. In a world when we can watch any movie anytime ad free it reminds me of a better time.

I really like crime and murder (and murder mystery) films especially with serial killers. Recently I watched Zodiac and Seven again and both are good. Silence of the Lambs is obviously a classic as I have seen that recently as well. I noticed Murder Mystery on Netflix and because it had Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston in and was also a comedy I left it. Anyway last night I decided to put it on thinking I will probably turn it off but I found it great. It's silly in parts which is to be expected but it's also a genuine murder mystery and very entertaining.
