The two most insufferable actors in Hollywood hamming it up without restraint in one of the dumbest scripts ever. Yeah, genuis.

Chow Yun Fat does not kick the table and catch the gun in one fluid motion. He does it in FOUR CUTS (CYF is incapable of such precision stuntwork as he is not a martial artist in any way, shape or form, and never claimed to be).

I saw this movie for the first time in 1994 or 95, just when John Woo was becoming a cult favorite in the West.I was really looking forward to it, all pumped up because of the glowing reviews (like the one above) in the movie magazines I was reading. It was also the time I started to discover HK cinema, when Jackie's…

No, you're wrong. Ah, the joys of in-depth discussion on the internet! :-).

No they don't. Not at stunt men. Even Jackie Chan has had doubles for some of his greatest stunts and moves. They are very good at making it look as if their stars do everything. And it's true those stars usually do far, far more of their own action than in Hollywood, but then, that was also the case in Europe in the…

Most overrated movie EVER (and I say this as someone who has seen well over 1,000 HK movies).

Season One slowly grew on me and ended up better than it began. Season 2 was much better all around: far less Marco, meaty roles for the Asian cast, some jawdropping scenes (Kublai murdering the child emperor in cold blood! So horrific - except it never happened in real life), and some exceptionally cool action scenes…

My God.
I watched 87 minutes and was entertained for barely two of them (if that) - when Hopkins explained his backstory.
There was nothing here. Nothing but pretentious palaver about themes that have been done to death in the genre. Endless portentous talking alternating with pointless, dull violence. Not a single…

Finale was very good and VERY gory. Quarry is one of the first shows which shows the realistic consequences of extreme violence, and it's not pretty. And that Vietnam flashback was AMAZING… Best directed scene on television this year. This was a great season and a great show, and all actors (even much maligned Logan…

Robert Mitchum is a good reference point for what Reacher should look like. He's the kind of guy who enters a room and everyone goes 'whoa. Tough motherfunster.' Not: 'whoa. He's really small!!'
Oc course, Cinemax' Quarry doesn't look anything like the Quarry of the novels either…

This is hands down the best looking show on television. Stunningly great visual compositions all the way through. Great writing, great acting, realistic and cringeworthy violence… It's a fascinating adaptation of the source material, which is tonally completely different - there Quarry is a cool, collected, efficient…

Quarry is so much better than this show at the moment…

Ugh. The Hand are BORING. Give us the Headsmen!!!

And the problem with all the Netflix Marvel series is that they are embarassed about this basic point, so the exceptional good guy goes around stopping largely unexceptional bad guys, because, you know, SERIOUS and DEEP and not at all a somewhat childish but oh so fulfilling power fantasy. It's also why too many…

The first episode of BSG immediately drew us in with the Cylon attacks. Whether it's first episode of a miniseries or a long-running serialized series really doesn't matter here. In Westworld, there wasn't this one big event which immediately made the stakes clear. Much more of a slow burn - a little too slow for me…

Very well made show, sublime acting by the robots (the father's talk with Ford was stunningly great), but narratively - not yet there. What is the hook to keep us watching? Who are we supposed to identify with? Too many balls up in the air, not enough meat. The park employees are not yet relatable - Sidse Babette…

Somewhat reminds me of the German series Alarm Für Cobra 11 (check it out on youtube) where two highway patrol cops (one a Turkish pint-sized firecracker who has been in the series since almost the very beginning, one his partner who changes every few seasons as the actors get bored with their part) always get…

Wonder Man, Tigra, Moon Knight, Mockingbird, Iron Man (!), Dr. Pym are missing from that list. And Spidey, Cap Marvel and Black Knight were never members of the WCA, surely?

Nah, just a cigar and a crumpled grey trenchcoat. And he's going to come up with all sorts of anecdotes about Mrs. Stone and how she takes care of him etc.

Best episode of the season? Yes. Great episode of Banshee. No. Just average. Felt disjointed, chaotic, and underwhelming for much of it, Bunker fight was good but as I loathe Calvin I didn't feel the emotion in his death and wanted it to be far more gruesome. Too many characters with nothing to do, too much Dushku,…
