@LN78 Yeah I only buy films on 4k Blu Ray which I have fond memories of or don't have already. Some like Universal Soldier I wasn't a massive fan of back in the day, but ended enjoying it more so when I watched it when I got the 4K disc.
I've only got Man of Steel which was free with my ps4, so this is a potential purchase for me at some point.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Finished watching Wonder Woman the other day and Justice League today.
Wonder Woman was fantastic! Really enjoyed her backstory and her connection to Greek mythology. The plot reminded me a lot of the first Captain America movie. I think it's very interesting to see a superhero battle in a historical war. The scene where she runs through the battlefield was just pure awesome. Also, her theme is absolutely badass!
Justice League was even better. After watching this movie, I find the Justice League to be much, much cooler than the Avengers. DC characters are in general more badass, serious and brutal than Marvel characters. I mean, there's no one cooler than Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman etc. Even Cyborg is much cooler than Iron Man (if you want to make that comparison). The only character I didn't like was The Flash because he wasn't played by Grant Gustin from the TV show. The suit in the movie was definitely cooler than the show's, but I just can't see anyone else other than Grant as Barry Allen.
That's how I feel about the DCEU in general. It would've been so much better if all movies and shows took place in the same universe so that we would have the same actors. I mean, we already have the established Arrowverse but that's pretty much over now. Hopefully with the announcement of the DCU, DC media will be more consistent from now on.
@RogerRoger It was the two hour version! I'm watching all these movies on HBO Max and these are the only versions I can choose from.
However, I did notice that there are two versions of Zack Snyder's Justice League (the second Justice League movie) on HBO. One with the subtitle "Justice is Gray" and one without, but both seem to be the director's cut and are 4 hours long each. Is there any significant difference between the two?
So the missus and I were playing Netflix roulette tonight… as we just couldn’t decide on what to watch. We landed on a bit of a hidden gem from 2016 called Edge of Seventeen - great frikkin’ movie if you haven’t seen it!
@RogerRoger No worries! I mean, I'm following a guide for the release order of the movies and they presented Zack Snyder's Justice League as a separate entry, so I thought it was a new movie. It even says in the guide that the 2017 version is the canon movie while the 2021 version is non-canon, so I thought they were two different movies. The guide did recommend to watch 2017 first and 2021 later on, so I might just do that!
First time watching With Honors by the way. always wanted to watch the movie back then when it was in theaters and then released for VHS but wasnt a fan of Pesci at the time..
Despite getting The Raid 2 on blu-ray absolutely ages ago I only just watched it because both are on Netflix (I'm such a lazy viewer now). The action scenes in these films are amazing, I really don't know how they made those films without a ton of stuntmen in hospital. Impressive stuff.
I also rewatched True Grit(2010), I forgot how well made that film is. The cast is excellent.
I'm trying to make an effort to watch things I haven't seen and have put in watchlists instead of rewatching lots of things I've seen before.
@LN78 I've not seen the original to compare but could understand it with the quality of The Coen's version. I especially thought Hailee Steinfeld was great, I really enjoyed her scenes with the stable boss. Not sure if Jeff Bridges has ever not been great.
@LN78 I imagine playing a character that's supposed to be insufferable to the people she meets but not the viewer is quite a balance to perform, even more so for a child actor. And for those moments to be so engaging in the remake is great testament to the quality of the actors, and their directors, and the writing.
Watched and enjoyed the semi good Scoob movie last week. To be clear it was the new animated Scoby-Doo movie from 2020. Scoby-Doo have become something of favorite entertainment thing for me as of late. Besides video gaming.
@RogerRoger Well thats your opinion. I happen to like Designated Survivor. I got tired of suffering through Season 4 of Stranger Things and the stupid characters in Riverdale in Seasons 1 and 2
Despite being aware of a certain infamous scene I've actually never seen this until now. Actually a pretty decent murder mystery film with a couple decent twists all things considered (and yeah... I enjoyed all the trashy sex bits, sue me, lol).
City Hunter: Magnum of Love & Fate (Blu-Ray)
Movie in the City Hunter franchise that sees the cast finding themselves protecting a concert pianist who gets caught up in an espionage struggle between West & East Germany (well, it calls them Gariela... but they're Germany) when she begins looking for her father.
It pretty much feels like a longer, somewhat better animated episode, of the City Hunter/City Hunter 2 era. It does make some good use of the higher budget when they assault the bad guys' HQ during the climax though, and is still a fun time if you're a fan of the series.
Also commonly subtitled as .357 Magnum, but I think we can all agree that Magnum of Love & Fate stomps.
City Hunter: Bay City Wars (Blu-Ray)
Movie in the City Hunter franchise where terrorists take over a newly built hotel in order to take command over the supercomputer which controls the facility, because it can give them control over US military systems for some reason (okay, maybe it doesn't make complete sense, but this is just an excuse to have Ryo do a "Die Hard", so let's forgive it, lol).
Maybe a bit short than what you'd typically expect from a movie, but I think that works in it's favor in this case. It takes no time at all to get into the thick of it & is pretty much wall to wall action from beginning to end (though of course it takes just enough time out to get in some of the series' trademark gags). This is elevated by a level of animation that's becoming of the format & noticeably a couple steps above any of the TV series at their best, which really makes the action shine.
It may not be as transformative as some of the Lupin films are for that franchise, as it's still ultimately something best appreciated for existing fans, but it's about as good as it can be for that type of project. Just really super fun.
City Hunter: Million Dollar Conspiracy (Blu-Ray)
Yet another City Hunter movie. This time Ryo gets hired by an American woman who claims she's being hunted by the Mafia, & promised him $1 million for the job. Of course things aren't as simple as they seem, and he finds himself embroiled in a mystery involving the CIA.
Quality wise it's a lot like "Bay City Wars" which I also recently watched. A bit short, but it really knows how to use it's budget & animation to be an entertaining watch. Preference will probably depend on whether you want more wall to wall action (Bay City Wars) or a bit more mystery with a little more time dedicated to Ryo's antics (Million Dollar Conspiracy).
Unfortunately I couldn't find a good trailer for any of the City Hunter stuff.
