Few movies I've watched lately I thought I'd share, nothing too new mind:

Boss Level - Frank Grillo wakes up on the same day every day with people constantly trying to kill him. A violent Groundhog Day and really well done and very enjoyable.

The Hunt - people are kidnapped and wake up near a clearing in a wooded area and are hunted and killed - wasn't sure about this one (wife picked it lol) but it was epic, I bloody loved it!

Tucker and Dale vs Evil - not your usual sort of comedy but was class. I can't say too much about it without ruining it but for those that have seen it, the 'we're having a doozy of a day' line when talking to the police was hilarious lol

Hunter Killer - honestly a cracking submarine drama and a really good watch from start to end. Honestly a great show and a very good cast too.

FAQ About Time Travel - honestly an absolute gem of a show, been out a while this one and a great watch - just different to other shows lol and very entertaining

The Beekeeper - a typical Jason Statham one this. Dodgy people scam an elderly friend of his and he basically kills everyone involved - honestly class, I loved it haha

Happy Death Day (plus sequel) - girl relives the same day type movie - really good this one, and the sequel was pretty decent too - def recommend

Poolhall Junkies - not for everyone tbh, but if you like pool it's actually a pretty good drama and, naturally, some real good pool played too

I could go on all day lol, I like nothing better than sitting watching a good movie lol and thought I'd maybe recommend a few that have been out a while - hopefully you enjoy!

{Ed001's Note - I will have to have a look at Boss Level and The Hunt, haven't seen either of those.}

Not much activities it seems in here.

Just discovered a gem, so I thought of sharing it here.

Arcadian, an horror film starring Nicolas Cage. More of a creature/monster film, with the premise a bit similar to A Quiet Place.

Its not a great film. The story or plots are a bit messy, I would say. But I enjoyed it. I totally recommend it. The creatures in it kinda dope too.

The woman king is definitely worth a watch, I'd give it a 10.
Had a decent story line and the acting was brilliant

If you are looking for a really good action movie, then I highly recommend Extraction 2. The first one was good too, but this is even better.

Oh yeah Ed01. The one-long-fluid scene, whatever they are calling it, they just brought it to the next level in this one. it is just action from start to finish. story-wise, I like the first more than this, but that is not me saying it in a bad way. this one is a bad-ass action movie. they should make another one. they should!

John Wick: Chapter 4

Consequences:-D
Good movie, enjoyable watch and all out action as is the thing with the franchise. Just had something new or something rare missing in the action sequences for me but still, a good movie.

And Donnie Yen's character was just so freaking cool and enjoyable in my view.

What say you Tris?

{Ed001's Note - I loved it not sure it needed anything new, just needed to be done well and it was.

As for Donnie Yen, personally I am sick of seeing him play a Zatoichi rip-off, he has done it so many times and it is played out for me. But that might be a consequence (see what I did there?) of my addiction to martial arts movies, so I have seen hundreds of people play that character. I would have just loved him to be Donnie Yen along the lines of Ip Man Yen to be honest. The character I actually didn't mind, I just wanted him to be full on in the fight scenes as I love Donnie Yen.

I though Dacascos was the best villain in the series personally. His character as a Wick fanboy was funny.

Overall though, I loved the film and, to be fair, every film in the series. It is probably, imo, the best movie series of all time. Which is some going when you consider Keanu is a terrible actor!}

17 Apr 2023 14:06:40 I am thoroughly looking forward to this one I love Donnie Yen, and like you Tris, think Ip Man is amongst his best work Dacascos was class in the last one, I like him as well I've heard Scott Adkins is in this one? But in a fat suit? Is that true and does it work? He is amazing in some of the fight films he has been in, brilliant in Ip Man 4 and is just class as Boyka Like I said, cannot wait to see this one - so far they have been great and I do love martial arts films - just need to get Michael Jai White amped up as a villain too!

{Ed001's Note - the Adkins role is an odd one. It didn't really make the most of his martial arts skills but it was an interesting character. I would have liked to have seen him as the main bad guy, back to his Boyka best, rather than that side role he got. Apparently it was Yen who desperately wanted him in, so he was kind of shoehorned into a role just to get him in.

I just hope Continental lives up to the first 4, not sure when it is due out, but I will defo go to watch that too.}
