People forget that Homage Comics was bought by DC. RED & RED II were DC.
There was good humour in both of them, although I didn't much like the end of RED II.

Interestingly, it came out the same year as the Expendables.

I quite enjoyed both RED movies (especially the first one). Expendable was an ok watch as well. Those kinds of humour I can enjoy. Not so much the latest Thor or either of the Deadpool movies.

I found the lack of mini-guns disturbing

What ever happened to Vasquez? I heard a rumour that she was Terminatored.

What ever happened to Vasquez? I heard a rumour that she was Terminatored.

Might just be me but I find it mildly amusing that her real name is Jenette Goldstein.

From Wikipedia........Goldstein is now the proprietor of the store "Jenette Bras", a large-cup bra specialist known for its slogan "The alphabet starts at 'D'"

"Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?"

"No. Have you?"

Bullet Train - Surprisingly really good. Great dialogue, casting, pace, everything. If you like the 90's Guy Ritchie films like Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels and Snatch, you'll like this.

Watching now - I like both actors.

Vesper was interesting - very low budget sci-fi but good story line and concept.
Watching Keith Leger Batman/Joker movie. Great movie.

Ended up watching ‘Lightyear’ without the kids and their chatting….actually really enjoyed it.

I'm thinking even Santa Clause Conquers the Martians would be enjoyable without the kids around. Its called 'alone time'.

This movie was a real diamond in the rough. It's one of my favorites -- the best coming of age story I know. And IMO, that second race was the best in movie history. The cinematography, slow motion, music, narration -- a real piece of cinema art.

A freebie ...appears to be the whole movie - one of my all time favs.

 

[Hardwrkr13]

Prey - it was OK but not nearly as good as the original like many reviewers are saying imo.

 

[MacDoc]

Great cast ...sort of a send up but cast carries it and cool mcycle vs raptor chase - remarkable dinos. Ambitious story.
Critics hated, audience loves

I couldn't finish it... just blah nonsensical.

 

[MacDoc]

Called squeezing the franchise lemon......nonsensical can still be fun. Nowhere near the original.

Book was terrific - young girl perfectly cast..seems the older version as well...not sure of the rest. Sort of wish I did not know the entire story but I really enjoyed the tale well told. The movie compresses a lot of lovely detail unfortunately.
