Yeah I feel like the only criticisms of Iron Man 3 are all always very nitpicky (fake mandarin, tony doesn’t wear his suit enough, his suit is always breaking) But there is some really great action sequences and I do love Tony’s arc. 

It was fun watching him chase the last remaining human around the world in John Wick 31. More of a travelogue than a movie. But having him snap the dude’s neck with a toilet seat at the beginning of 32 really wrote a check the sequel couldn’t cash. An hour and a half of Reeves (or his stunt double most likely)…

“but it doesn’t have the breakneck pace of the Raid.”

I’d like to see this feature done on Horror movies. Make it happen!

Disagree. Strenuously.

Pacific Rim is my go-to example of dispensing with boring set-up. The set-up is basically just “Aw shit! Monsters! But then, robots!”

The thing about the action scenes in Watchmen is that Snyder’s glam/slow-motion style is that it’s diametrically opposite to the intent of the book for most of those fights. So if you’re watching without context they’re great fight scenes, but in context they’re all wrong.

I watched the first GI JOE movie at a Movie Tavern, drunk on at least three tankards of Yuengling. The most I remember about it is that the final action setpiece takes place when Cobra blows up a glacier above their secret underwater base, and the ice sinks to crush it.

Let me repeat that: the ice... SINKS.

And I was…

I don't think I've met a person who saw Bourne on the big screen, but everyone I knew had the DVD and watched it religiously.

Speaking of which, I remember the Animatrix shorts being pretty good.

Sweeny Todd?

That Highway scene in Reloaded is still one of the best scenes in a movie ever.

Battle Beyond The Stars is more of a remake of the Magnificent Seven in a sci-fi setting - and The Magnificent Seven is more of a remake of Seven Samurai in a Western Setting. And Star Wars itself is heavily influenced by The Hidden Fortress, directed by Akira Kurosawa, who directed Seven Samurai. The lines between…

Completely different, tonally, but there's a lot of Never Let Me Go in the premise you described. If you haven't seen it (or read it), you might really like it.

The demo was one of the first things I played on my new ps3 circa Christmas 2007. Never played the full game though.

The future setting is key, though, to introducing and more casually handling currently impossible or exceptionally challenging concepts and realities. For instance, by making some yet unrealized technological achievement an element of the narrative—such as teletransportation—less material or metaphysical concepts can…

A lot, though not all, of the technobabble is plausible or at least presented logically, esp when it comes to the engines and ships themselves. For example, "warp" is a bubble in spacetime that allows faster than light travel. It is powered by using a currently-undiscovered element called dilithium to regulate the…

But the Tupac/Dr. Dre video for California Love was a perfect follow-up to Mad Max though.

I always heard he was named after a type of apple.
