I was laughing pretty good during a few scenes. Kinnear is pretty awesome.

After reading all the posts about it, I got Duel To The Death from Netflix yesterday. FUCK. YES. That movie was just an abundance of awesome.

I need to bump that one up...

Commando Squad - 3/5 - 80s Action film with a ex-Playmate...who doesn't get nude! What the crap. Going into Commando Squad I thought it was going to be ridiculous a la Hard Ticket to Hawaii. Instead Commando Squad is a pretty typically action movie. Cocaine is bad, send playmate to Mexico to rescue her partner and stop Sid Haig in 'Drug Camp'. There is some fun to be had w/ Morgan and his words of wisdom so I recommend watching it if you really can't find anything else. There isn't much of a Squad or Commando...since they are police officers so yeah. Not sure where that title came from :/



Big Trouble in Little China - 4/5 - I don't know how I lived 24 years without seeing this movie. Its simply amazing. The movie is fun, entertaining and the story is pretty decent. First Kim Cattrall was pretty hot in the 80s. I dont watch Sex in the City due to the lead looking like a horse but man she is awesome.

Green eyed asian girl gets kidnapped by chinese men who are able to do sorcery. Kurt Russell plays Jack Burton, a truck driver who goes after the asian girl. I didn't expect the film to be as funny as it was. The hand to hand combat is pretty good, its not gonna make your mind explode like your first viewing of Ong Bak but you will be entertained. There is some horror elements with decaying corpses and general weirdness of Lo Pan all thanks to John Carpenter. Definitely a must see for anyone who hasn't gotten around to it, but I am sure im one of the last people on Earth to see this film.

Dude, one word: Mannequin.

ill be sure to add it to the queue.

Rambo First Blood Part II - 3/5 - Enjoyable action movie, loads of explosions and mindless fun. Stallone is pretty good in the movie and weirdly enough the screenplay is credited to Stallone and James Cameron, yes the James Cameron. There is some cool moments where Rambo is popping people with his bow and arrow, nothing super violent but just a lot of fun.



BMX Bandits - 4/5? - After Rambo we popped on the cable box and BMX Bandits was on, so I only saw the last hour of the film but it was hysterical. Kids are on BMX bikes trying to get away from the bad guys. The kids stole a cache of walkie talkies which the bad guys need to do bad things. Yep walkie talkies, not money, drugs or weapons...walkie talkies. Only in Australia this sorta stuff would happen. Hilarity ensues as the kids evade a car with bad guys on their bikes. It needs to be said that every time the kids 'jump' an obstacle or go down a staircase with their bikes you get a laser sound effect as the whoosh on by the slowmo'd camera, its very comical.

During the end climax the one girl BMXer 'Judy' is kidnapped by the badguys and annoys them with her stories. Since its a family movie they don't gag her, shoot her or toss her out of the moving vehicle...they just deal with it, while we as the viewer wish for her death. Finally the movie is over with this ridiculous foam fertilizer...credits roll and Jude is played by Nicole Kidman, age 16. Definitely worth seeing if you like corny 80s films and or wanna see Nicole Kidman in her second movie ever.

Duel of the Death - 7/10

I may have made a mistake... I think I put too much expectations on the awesomeness this movie would have. I mean it was good, but I was expecting non stop random battles the whole time. There were some part that were "odd". And like aways the English dubbing reminded me of this...

Training Day-9 out of 10

I forgot to mention too, If you like these marital arts/sword fight type of movies check out Azumi 1 and 2. xD

Mulholland Dr.

Holy shit sums it up pretty nicely.

Green zone

Ninja Assassin - Awesome movie, the blood looked kinda fake, but it was just pure greatness from start to finish.

Eden Lake - Pretty lame. I thought it would be more brutal but it wasn't all that bad. I saw the ending coming a mile away.

Survival of the Dead - 3/5 - There was a time when Romero made great films. Survival of the Dead isn't one of them. I think Diary of the Dead is a better horror movie...but both are not good. In Survival you follow a group of AWOL military guys who find there way to Pulm Island in hopes of a life without the walking dead. Survival of the Dead is very much a comedy and less of a thriller. 2 rival families are fighting each other on this island one who wants to keep the zombies alive, the other who executes...its not really all that interesting. If you are looking for a new zombie movie where you can shut your brain off and have some fun, survival might be for you. Its definitely not a must see but I can see how some people will be entertained by some of the unique kills & comedy from the film.

Shutter Island - I thought it was very good, and I am not a DiCaprio fan at all.

After Land of the Dead, I'm pretty much done with Romero zombie movies. It started to go downhill with Day, but that was still good and I disliked Land. Nothing will ever come close to touching Dawn.

Day > Dawn

Blasphemy. Day was ing awesome. Land and Diary sucked though, I'll be the first to admit that. Too much "star power."

Grandma's Boy- surprisingly, not half bad, I laughed out loud several times...although I did have a six pack of Guinness in me at the time.

Ninja Assassin - If you like wild kung fu, this movie is for you
