Wait, what!?  You'd never watched Karate Kid before? Did you grow up in a cellar?

Life in the Fritzel house was tough.

Nah, seen I-III before, but not since early 90s. Long enough that i'd forgotten large chunks of the original and wasn't sure how it'd hold up in the era of Cobra Kai.

+ great cast / tits

Karate Kid II last night, III this evening. Shocked by how well they hold up and how much i enjoyed them. Need to watch Cobra Kai again now. 😂

Pathetic

The Football Factory. Can't remember most of it it's been so long since i watched, it's like the first time I've seen it. So ridiculous it's actually pretty enjoyable. Cockney Trainspotting vibes.

Taking my kids to see Mission Impossible 8 tonight. I've seen very mixed reviews so far, but I'll keep an open mind. 😎👍

8? Fucking give it up like. Same with fast and furious. Just let it go.

We must be on James Bond 20 by now.

Still a reasonable yarn, although Daniel Craig lost a bit of the old school romantic of the past. Connery was the numero Uno sexual predator, a professional at work.

Yep, none of this 'asking permission' bollocks. Just 'youre getting rode'.

I might be going to see it on Monday.

Not been to the pictures since 1993, Falling Down was the film.

We're not long back from seeing it. I was concerned 2hr 50min was going to be too long, but while I think they could have shaved 15-20min off at best, it's not a big issue. No spoilers, but the kids and I all enjoyed it. I'd say this and its predecessor are around middle ranking of the 8 (I think Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation are the best, followed by Fallout).

Amazing movie. Watched the remake the other night. Enjoyable enough watch, but pails in comparison to the original.

Saving Private Ryan. Haven't watched it for many years, can hardly remember any of it. One of the benefits of smoking too much dope and having a memory like a sieve. Great film.

I've stuck with F&F. The worse it gets, the better it gets.

The hoors were up in space in their car on the last one. Tremendous.

Not a huge Tom Hanks fan, but there's no denying he's been in some fantastic movies. Apollo 13, Big, Bridge of Spies, Catch Me If You Can, Dragnet, Green Mile, Greyhound, Post, Road to Perdition, Saving Private Ryan, Splash & Toy Story I-IV. That's a phenomenal CV.

I've seen them. Hollywood nonsense made for the hard of thinking. Perfect for you.

[JamieMT]

I enjoyed Nico & Under Siege, but otherwise Seagal's films are brutal. Love the story of him bricking it from Van Damme.

WTF is a 'beer movie' anyway? 😄 Do you immediately turn into a moron as soon as you spark open a can of Skol?
