What Movies Have You Seen III

Tom Cruise is no William Holden, but his movies for the most part are very watchable. Stuff like Top Gun, A Few Good Men etc aren't that fantastic from an acting perspective, but they are entertaining. If I'm scanning through channels looking for something to watch & I hit a Cruise movie it is usually where I land. The only one that disappointed me that I can recall was Valkyrie, I'm a huge WWII buff & it left me a bit flat. (have never seen Vanilla Sky)
I think that Cruise has found his place, entertaining movies that aren't too serious.


On the subject of not too serious, Sacha Baron Cohen comes to mind. If anyone hasn't seen The Spy about Eli Cohen I recommend it. It's anything but not too serious. Borat is fantastic in it, I was impressed in his ability as a serious actor.

Wasn't anywhere near Edge of Tomorrow. Boss Level is aimed at teens. Wasn't anything I'd re-watch.

I enjoyed Boss Level, maybe reading your post lowered my expectations. It was a fun action movie that had some funny gaming level stuff.

Yes, it's nowhere near as good as Edge of Tomorrow but still a decent fun watch.

R.I.P.D - i'm guessing this was some box office flop that I had never heard about. Was like Men in Black crossed with Ghostbusters. What was Jeff Bridges and Kevin Bacon thinking? also had Ryan Reynolds... Some funny moments but lots of shitty CGI and pretty lame story.

A few good men is an outstanding movie and probably Cruise's best serious movie. Jack Nicholson appeared in three scenes and won best supporting actor for his efforts. Cruise ad libbed the Nicholson impersonation and they left it in the movie, it was that good.

Edge of Tomorrow was an excellent movie.

I love A Few Good Men. I watched it again a few nights ago. Nicholson is brilliant in it, Cruise
& Moore I find a bit cringe in places, but I still love it as a movie.

For Cruise and serious I thought he was very good in Collateral

Easy go to movie for something to watch.

So is The Firm.

I made it to the end (I don't know why) but f**k, "Semi-Pro" was complete utter shit. Second worst comedy I've seen this year beside "Night School"
Will Ferrell is definitely more miss than hit with his films. He strikes me as a good support actor but f**k I hate most of the movies he stars in.
1.5 out of 5

Yeah, I straight up don't like will ferrel.

Outside of anchorman, I can't think of much I've liked him in and I HATE step Brothers.... There I said it.

Believe it or not, I have not seen anchorman because Im turned off with his comedy. I have it here and will see it one day.

I watched Universal Soldier:Regeneration. As a man that adores the original, gee the sequels have been so disappointing. This movie was like the producers spoke english as a second language. It was actually an ok movie but its main issue was the script gave Lundgren and Van Damme f**k all to work with in terms of getting into characters. No fun lines at all which made the original great. The movie took itself WAY too seriously....to its detriment. And, I normally like serious movies. 2 out of 5

Blades of glory is a guilty pleasure of mine. Talladega Nights is good fun as well, but Ferrel is well supported in that one.

“The Boat”

Amazon Prime.

Think of “Dead calm meets Christine”. Unsure if I really enjoyed it or not.

I liked him in "Step Brothers", "Elf", and "Stranger Than Fiction."

But I agree with you - I'm not a Will Ferrell fan.

I just don't see the appeal.

His best role, imo.

He did a lot, without doing too much.

 

[Wizardman]

Im a sucker for punishment....watched another recent Travolta production called "Trading Paint". f**k me....would rather watch paint dry.

0 from 5

Raya and the last dragon - Pretty good IMO...

I have young boys who normally don’t really get into the Disney Princess films... but they enjoyed this one.

it’s still a Disney Princess film but there’s no love story or anything like that... lots of fighting which my boys loved....

definitely worth a watch....

Coming 2 America

That is extremely disappointing (but not unexpected). A mate of mine saw and liked it....but he is pretty easy to please when it comes to comedy movies.

Seconded

It's pretty bad
I liked Wesley Snipes in it and chuckled at the reference to Trading Places but the rest isn't funny

Eddie Murphy didn't need to make this
