I'm game. While I do not have Netflix I do get movies from those usual places.
10. Salt - Started off awesome. Great premise and over-the-top action ... like way beyond belief. Then, the film slowly degrades into a typical Hollywood ass-tastic film. They decide that to be a slick filmmaker we'll keep making Salt switch sides. Ghey. By the end, you wanna punch the director.
9. The Expendables - Brainless awesome. The first half of the film is okay. It's very basic in creating an origin for everyone, okay I lied. Its horrible in telling a tale. The best part was the end when the shit goes down and things go BOOM.
Also: Terry Crews shotgun was epic.
8. Paths of Glory - From the TNL club. Anthony's pick was stellar. Loved every minute of it. Great storytelling, Great cinematography, and awesome acting. The courtroom scene was as freaking good as "A Few Good Men".
7. Fistful of Dynamite - SSJN's pick for the movie club. Another awesome pick.
I enjoyed this tremendously. I felt joy when the two gunned down the Nazi's and felt sadness, when the people were discovered in the cave. So good. James Coburn was great.
6. Death Rides a Horse - I think this was a Doc pick. A second awesome Western. This one takes a higher billing, because it was more classically told (imo).
Also: Lee Van Cleef was a badass and was in this film.
5. Tekken - brainless fun. The action is actually well filmed and choreographed. The other thing is even though the story is flimsy, the acting is darn good. And Kelly Overton ... whoa.
4. Justice League: Crisis of Two Earths - Okay, so this was a cartoon. Yet, how it was told was extrodinary. Give this one a shot, even if you don't know all the characters. James Wood's was awesome in this.
3. Batman: Under the Red Hood - Yo. This movie was BADASS. Freaking awesome stuff. The Joker was never more awesome than in this movie. Just sucks Mark Hamill didn't reprise his role as The Joker. The replacement was great though.
2. Knight and Day - I went into this expecting a shitfest and came out entertained. Cruise I think is reinventing himself. He was funny and Cameron Diaz was amazing as a girl who has no idea what the hell she's doing.
1. A-Team - Like I said in the "I just watched" thread. This movie surprised me. I LOVED the old TV show and I think they captured the best moments of the TV show. I think Liam Neeson played an incredible Hannibal. Bradley Cooper was Face(nice cameo btw). I liked that it was an origin story and told HOW the A-Team ...
a) Came to be, as far as how they all became friends.
b) what they did to be "accused of a crime they didn't commit".
Loved every second of this film.
*terrible quality, but epic scene.
