@LN78 Fat ***** is in Spectre?!

@kyleforrester87 He is Spectre! Sorry for the spoilers folks!

after casino royale i thought all the Daniel Craig bond movies were poor

@JudgeDredd The Cave sounds very familiar to The Descent, which is one my faves from the era.

Watched Logan this morning. Been slowly watching the X-Men films in order, and while this one wasn't next on the list it isn't available on any of the paid streaming services I have & I noticed it popped up on one of the free ones (FreeVee), so I figured I should watch it while I got the chance.

Never seen it before, but it was pretty excellent (definitely brutal in a way the other Wolverine movies weren't).

personally X-men 2 is my favourite X-men film then probably X-men first class

@RogerRoger X-Men 2 is probably the best movie that actually has the X-Men in it. I quite like Days of Future Past but it doesn’t really feel like it has a real team in it.

@RogerRoger Between Bryan Singer and Brett Ratner, it’s a fairly tainted series all round. Probably more of a indictment of the industry at that time.

@LN78 I’m a regular viewer of TripleJump’s videos and streams, @ConfusedDude did the podcast for this site back in the day and still reviews the WWE games for PushSquare. They have a great dynamic and I highly recommend their Twitch stuff.

I watched Morbius. It wasn’t great.
It was far from the worst superhero movie either though, definitely miles better then Venom 2, which was just terrible.

I actually only have one complaint about it, unfortunately it’s a big one: the script is just super basic, there’s literally nothing interesting about it and not a single twist. The writing is just not there at all.

Performances and visuals where fine though

I also watched Sonic 2 and it was fun

@LN78 Amazing selection

@LN78 let me know if Lifeforce is any good.

@LN78 I only know about Over The Top because of The OC and still wasn’t sure that it was actually real 😂

@LN78 I believe you about 'Over the Top' because I saw many years ago, possibly when it was new. I won't spoil it for you, mostly because I remember very little about it. The American Ninja series brings back memories too. Can you get them on anything other than VHS?

@LN78 I do want to insist you watch Miami Connection too please 😂

It’s on YouTube

@LN78 I remember liking them in my youth but I think I'd want to re-watch them before buying them. It's one area I think the streaming services could improve, with the VHS era movies. You'll have to let us know what you think of them.

Edit: Out of curiosity I looked on Amazon and there was an option for the VHS boxset at £69.95 😄

@LN78 having seen it, as far as I can tell nothing has been cut - it’s actually not that gory anyway and there isn’t any nudity. It’s just.. everything else lol

@LN78 yeah some of it is just mind boggling. But you can tell the guy really cared about making it

@LN78
Oh I have vague memories of 'Over the top' also. I remember that when he turns his cap backwards he means business! Even as a kid I found that weird though I think I might have adopted that for a while...his cap is on back to front so you better watch yourself kind of thing.
Also recall being severely disappointed by the Masters of the Universe movie and boycotting my action figures because of it.
Cobra and the Delta Force movies I think I liked and would probably watch again given the opportunity.
Enjoy!

@LN78 I vaguely recall watching something about 'Masters of the Universe' and how it destroyed a studio, Carolco wasn't it? I think I may have watched it youtube and didn't they almost make a Spider-Man movie but chose to do He-Man with the money instead?

Unrelated but I just saw the latest Thor trailer and one for the new Mission Impossible, both look really promising to me. With the new Top Gun as well there are some exciting films coming soon. Although I've just remembered I still haven't watched MI:Fallout yet despite getting the Bluray on release. I might just rectify that today.
