Movies?

[Mudderoy]

Maybe I missed it, but we never seem to discuss movies here. I know Jeep site, but we do talk about more than Jeeps don't we?

I was flipping around and I saw one of my movie favorites. "Battle: Los Angeles"

Another one I really enjoy is 2005 movie "Constantine"

I'd like to see sequels of both of those, "Constantine" being the more interesting of the two.

Also I recently saw "John Wick" It was a good action movie with quite a bit of off center humor. Keanu Reeves has really come a long way from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" Not that, that was a bad movie... ;)

Interesting, at least to me, Michelle Rodriguez, "Battle: Los Angeles", "Avatar", "Fast and the Furious" series of movies, and "Resident Evil: Retribution" among others is from San Antonio, TX.

[Brasscatz]

I still need to see Battle: LA, but I remember trying to watch Constantine when it came out and just couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll enjoy it now, but I couldn't back then.

Something I've noticed though... I have Netflix and Amazon Prime... and the same movies are available on both. lol.

John wick X2 He even reloads

[Mudderoy]

Another movie I'll stop and watch each time I find it is "Sniper"

In "John Wick" there is a scene where John comes up behind this huge guy and lets him leave before the fun begins.

That big guy was the Russian in "The Punisher" during that great fight scene with the blond guy in the red and white striped shirt.

[XJ Wheeler]

I gotta say the only one of those I've seen is Battle:LA and that was over a year ago. I don't remember much.

X 2 on John Wick ... not bad for a newer offering.

I normally ignore most new movies ... as with all the computer graphics - there is buggerall, proper/real, acting/stunts,

... so I may as well be watching the penguins of madagascar .. :D:D


The Forger with John Travolta in it, was an easy watch/time filler.

Watched American Sniper ... A sad tale worth telling.

Yes I saw "American Sniper" It was a good movie but less of a "wow" movie than some of the others I've seen. Favorite line in the movie "Hey! Where you going?" or something to that effect.

Just saw Django Unchained for the first time the other day. Definitely lived up to all the hype and worth the watch. One of my new favorites for sure!

Anyone seen Ant Man yet? Hearing great things about that one too.

[denverd1]

Can't believe Paul Rudd did AntMan. Maybe it will be better than it looks.

Watched The Other One last night. Documentary about the cofounder of Grateful Dead. Pretty good, if you like music, it's a great one.

Next on my list:

Cocaine cowboys
Dogfight
Funky monks
Cartel land
The Room
Neighbors

It may very well be. It just seems like a cartoon almost. I like P Rudd and it just seemed like a hokey movie for an accomplished actor

I can't say I'm a huge zombie fan like some but I did enjoy "Zombieland" however even though I do enjoy Bill Murray I don't think he should have been in that movie, or it should have been a much shorter cameo.

Netflix wins in that case. Cause I can chromecast it to the tube

I'll check it out. As you know, NOT a fan of the zombie craze but I'll check it out!

I stream Netflix through the playstation usually. Netflix will have good movies, but only on DVD which I don't have. They actually pissed me off a while back when they more than doubled their prices. Took me forever to come back to them.

Amazon Prime can stream through the playstation as well and they have the movies... but you still have to pay for the good ones. Pointless. Kinda how xfinity will have regular tv shows on demand.... but you have to pay $2.99 per episode sometimes. It's all just a huge racket :(

unless Amazon can package itself as an app on new TV's (they're doing it now), they're really shooting themselves in the foot with their own hardware. Netflix all you need is wifi and then there's several ways to get the content.

yes, a huge racket.

[Mudderoy]

Another OLD fav is "Journey to the Center of the Earth" the 1959 version not that 2008 piece of kiddy crap.

I use the Roku for amazon upstairs and the HD player downstairs. It may be available on the TV but the TV computer is slow. Roku 3 is very fast, and I haven't even gotten around to wiring it up to the network. Just using the 54mbs wireless connection. It is only 6 feet away from the wifi router though.

I have a WII, but haven't gotten it to work for downloading movies yet. Probably need a teenager to show me how

I used to play with my wii... pun intended... and used to need a Netflix disc to stream. Now, I think they have an app in the wii store to stream netflix. Don't know about Amazon, though.

[4.3LXJ]

Thanks. I will look into it

[denverd1]

They both have apps, but AMZN won't let you stream through just anything. You have to sling it through roku or use their firestick or whatever it's called.

Chromecast is cool because anything you can browse on chrome can be cast to your TV.

Lots of other apps/programs will cast as well

I really enjoy that Zombieland. I like the humor they through into the whole zombie topic. Other than that and walking dead i don't really get into the whole zombie thing either. Doesn't really make sense to me. Lol.

I've also seen the entire James Bond series

James Bond was good when Sean Connery was bond. Pierce Brosnan probably did the best job since Connery.

I did enjoy "Taken" especially the Jeep Cherokee scenes! :D

"A Walk Among the Tombstones" was pretty good, and I'm looking forward to seeing "Run All Night" on Amazon prime.

I'm your huckleberry.

Tombstone is my second all-time fav movie. My favorite is probably Smokey and the Bandit, but mainly because I used to own that T/A lol

Daddy! Daddy! My hat blew off!

Was your head in it?!?!

I always enjoyed "When Worlds Collide" I was pretty excited to see Speilberg was going to be doing a remake, however it's been "in the works" for years now.

Speaking of Speilberg.

Jaws = sucked. It had it's moments, but overall boring.
Close Encounters, E.T. (The extra testicle) Raiders of the Lost Ark, all movie magic.

Oh speaking of bad movies, "Blue Thunder" it was bad, but I enjoyed it. :D

[denverd1]

OG Jaws was good. the rest were snoozers.

Connery and Brosnan were the de facto 007s. I thought Daniel Craig was a mediocre one, although the Bond boobs of recent decades makes any performance look like a good one

Speaking of washed up directors, George Lucas anyone? SW was awesome but the recent series was pretty terrible.

Days of Thunder?

Haven't cared for Cruz for years, his first movie was pretty good. "Top Gun" was horrible.

Not a Speilberg movie but had that feel to it, "Poltergeist" good funny movie.

Back to Cruz, some of his more recent movies have been pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised by "Jack Reacher"

Oh and good movie that was very well acted by Jake Gyllenhaal was the 2014 movie "Night Crawler" Such an odd well done film. I highly recommend it.

[denverd1]

Lol. Not sure what to think of your assessment
