(sorry...couldn't resist.)

I'm working through the remake of It's a Wonderful Life, It Happened One Christmas...yeah...not nearly as good as the classic.

[Hamato Yoshi]

Rocky II = Home Alone 2...just a rince/repeat thing from the first

Rich men , single women 4/6...Locklear , Somers.....anyway it's modern remake of Monroes "How to marry millionaire" , okay to kill time with.

Bruceploitation :

Bruce Le's greatest revenge 4/6 , okay Chinese vs Japanese fare

Clones of Bruce Lee 2/6 , so bad it's good...scientist makes 3 clones out of DNA of the real Lee , anyway the bad guy is a gold smuggler

Invincible Bruce Lee 3/6....credibility kinda goes out the door when kung fu "gorillas" shows up

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - I liked it more than the first, and I cannot lie, it's because of

Spoiler:

Smaug. I thought first the movie would end after he's only revealed, but the action/chase scene was amazing!

Outrage - a Japanese yakuza movie, pretty brutal but also sometimes funny.

Survive Style 5+ - a strange Japanese movie with 5 stories interweaving to each other. Also has Vinnie Jones who is as good as ever.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - I loved it even more than the first. Mainly because of the more exciting sequences in the movie.

[Krutch]

Just saw Jerry Maguire for the first time in like ten years. Perfect movie.

[Leo656]

"Forrest Gump". Hadn't seen it in a while. Still great.

[ObiWanFan4life]

Bad Santa - Still as funny after all these years.

[NinjaPug]

The Way Way Back. Fantastic movie. Sam Rockwell was great.

[Michelangelo]

ELYSIUM
An action sci/fi story.
Some very cool effects.
Awesome movie.

[Jester]

Uh... I would beg to differ on that one though.


I watched a televised airing of The Color Purple, the beginning scenes are heavy to watch but it becomes easier after the first 20-30 minutes, and makes the audience have a greater appreciation for the progression of Celie Johnson (Whoopi Goldberg's character). Whoopi Goldberg was great in this film.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. EPIC. I absolutely loved the movie.

Spoiler:

The whole plot about Kili getting shot was well done. Plus, they had the Tauriel/Kili romance which I thought was cut out. The scene with Bard realizing the prophecy was really great too. And SMAUG! Man, he was frickin ginormous! the whole Smaug fight was really cool, and when he got covered in gold I couldn't help but think of the Mockingjay in Hunger Games. My only disappointments was Bard used a bow, not a spear shooter!

Last night, I watched It Happened One Night, which was actually a great film. Now I understand why it's considered a classic.

Other than that, recently I've watched Die Hard 1 and 2. The first one is the best. You can't do a sequel without a strong villain like Hans Gruber.

[Donatello19]

Mulan! It was on Disney Channel the other day.

That's why there is With A Vengeance, which is IMO as good as the first.

That's fine... as long as you're OK with being wrong. Rocky IV is a modern classic. Anyone who doesn't get a thrill watching Rocky Balboa beat communism to death with his own two fists is a lousy Grinch.

Immediately after KO-ing Drago, he took a detour on his way back to the states and toppled the Berlin Wall with One Punch, JUST in case anyone didn't get the message. People can spin it however they want; smart people know it was ROCKY who ended the Cold War, alone and by himself.

^^Needs more adjectives for alone.
Saw Santa's Slay. It's bad. really bad, but for some reason I kept watching...

Of course it is. You know me by now. It's from a movie I can't for some reason remember at the moment. One of the "Hot Shots" movies, maybe? Could be "Robin Hood: Men In Tights". I'm drawing a blank, it's from one of those kind of movies. But it seemed appropriate.

The more I think of it, I'm almost positive it's from "National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1". I WANT to say it's an Emilio Estevez line - "I'm going after Mortars... alone and by myself..." - but it's been a while since I've seen it. F*ck me, I used to know the dialog to every Emilio movie by heart. I deserve nothing but sorrow for being so lapsed in my worship of the superior Estevez brother. I'll make up for it by watching "Young Guns" about a dozen times over Christmas break.
