I prefer the old dredd to the new.

I feel asleep 3xs trying to watch it all the way through. Found it to predictable. At least Stallone's had a compelling story to follow and didn't put me to sleep the first 5xs I watched it. Does now though. As I've seen it to many times. "I am the LAW!"

If you liked it, then cool. Not entirely convinced that you’re not trolling me, but cool.
City Hunter is probably my favourite Jackie Chan movie. Basically it’s Die Hard on a cruise ship. It has my favourite Australian, Richard Norton, as the main villain, Colonel Macdonald, and he’s one of the few white guys to return as a villain(Mr Nice Guy movie, if memory serves). Honestly his weapon skills are impressive. You should check him out, has an interesting life story. I’m very sorry we didn’t have a trio of Chuck Norris, and Cynthia Rothrock, and him in a movie. Though Richard has performed with each of them. Oh if you don’t feel like watching the entire movie, please do watch the Streetfighter 2 sequence. You’ll thank me later.

Went to the theater for the first time in awhile and saw Love Me.

TLDR: It's basically Wall-E if it only focused on the romance side plot. And was a perfectly entertaining date night movie.

Normally not a fan of Kristen Stewart but she was tolerable in this movie. Probably because she was just a voice actress for the first 80% of the film. Steven Yeun killed it though in both the voice acting parts and in the live action parts.

It is definitely an artsy film, what with it being a Sundance selection and all. Lots of metaphors for the stages of relationships and about allowing yourself to be vulnerable and what happens when you aren't. Visuals were cool and artsy and the art style changes as the two grow into more complete personalities.

The sci Fi plot completely falls apart if you think about it for more than two seconds, so don't! It's all just a framing device anyway so it was pretty easy to ignore the glaring holes in the science.

I'd probably give it a 7/10. I'll probably never watch it again, but I don't regret the money I spent to see it in the slightest

Another favourite Jackie Chan movie of mine, is “The Medallion”. It’s made in the west, and I’ll admit it’s probably not as good as his other work, but I immensely enjoyed it. Great performances all round, though the female lead, who’s name I’ve forgotten, was probably the weakest. Lee Evans was good comic relief. Julian Sands, the late great Julian Sands, is great as the villain, and one of the complaints I’d level at the film, is that he should have been in it more. Honestly I hear his voice when I write for my angel character Dumah.

I'm sorry, I just cannot believe that!

@Acathala definitely not trolling. But I guess I like Stallone better than you do for sure.

City hunter is a good movie and Richard Norton is good as both bad guys and good guys. But my favorites are Drunken master(old not new), gorgeous, forbidden kingdom, rush hour, and who am I. My collection with him extends all the way back to his cameo in a Bruce Lee movie. To his voice acting of splinter in TMNT mutant mayhem.

I tried to watch Dredd. The slow mo scenes were cool, but I couldn’t do it. Didn’t care for either version I suppose. Tried from there to watch the ballad of buster scruggs. Wasn’t feeling that (although it is quite good), so I ended up watching the wild robot. It was dusty. That’s why I teared up a bit.

[Ildrahil]

Same with me Raylorne. I just couldn’t get into them. I haven’t seen the other. Is it worth it or will the dust be thick here too?

[Raylorne]

If your room isn’t super dusty when you watch the wild robot you’ve got no heart. Also it’s an absolutely gorgeous movie.

[Drifter One]

the Stallone Dredd I understand.

Both the Karl Urban Dredd? - heretics, the pair of you!

[Raylorne]

I love Karl Urban. I’ll try to give it another try another day. It seems like they were making The Raid judge dredd version. I’d rather watch the raid.

Except it was filmed before The Raid. Came out after it though.

I like both Judge Dredd movies, for very different reasons.

Huh. No kddding eh?

Well the raid did it better.

[Acathala]

Watched “You’re Next” again. Probably my favourite slasher film. Solid performances all round, tight script. There had been talks about a sequel, but ultimately I’m happy they failed. It really didn’t need one.
