What Movies Have You Seen III

[The Mad Hatter]

Not sure I should admit to this but I can quote Police Academy 4 to you, word for word. Mannequin starring Andrew McCarthy and Kim Catrall also.

Flame away.

Kids and I watched Mannequin in the school holidays.

“Ohhhh Switcher...you’re one sick puppy.”

We use that line, said in character, to show disdain in our family. Lol.

“Do my thighs look too fat to you!?!” is another one.

Or if we’re sneaking a snack - “Hollywood...Hollywood!!’

Nerd that I am, I finally recently got an uncut studio version of Belinda Carlisle’s In My Wildest Dreams (opening titles song). Been chasing it 30+ years.

I thought Nobody was too much like John Wick.

 

[Dogs Of War]

I thought Nobody was too much like John Wick.

And a piss poor version at that.

Mortal Kombat (2021).

I also watched the original last night - I actually really love it, just brings back lots of nostalgia.

The new one is good IMO, it's just about what you're looking for in an MK movie.

Some things in this new one that are way better than the original as you would probably expect, but I feel the original had just a bit more charm with the characters.

I hope they do well and get to make a sequel.

I haven’t seen John Wick, so I thought Nobody was pretty good.

This movie is great

Saw it last night and really enjoyed it, I like how they made the most of that R rating and they managed to do justice to a lot of the classic characters.

Shoutout to Josh Lawson for stealing the show as Kano.

And a piss poor version at that.

Yeah I posted earlier that I found it pretty average. Bits I loved but others meh.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

House (1986)

Comedy / horror film. Deals with Vietnam Vet PTSE and haunted house tropes. Pretty dated in the FX now, but still worth watching for William Katt, George Wendt and Richard Moll. Probably ripe for a re-make. I have House 2 (1987) lined up for later.

I thought Nobody was too much like John Wick.

Don’t tell me there was a kitty bracelet in John Wick?

Love John Wick

Loved nobody by simple fact I had no idea what to expect when watching it ie zero expectations- I thought it was going t be a better call saul drama not a blow your guts out action flick

Mortal Kombat was delightfully violent. Kung Lao's fatality...oh my! Had to rewind and watch it again

 

[nick87]

This week i've watched both Kong vs Godzilla and Mortal Kombat

As far as dumb, shitty movies that make no f**king sense but are absolutely joyful... it's not close for me. Mortal Kombat kills. Just really enjoyed it start to finish. Kano hitting the "is that the only move you have?" got me proper LOL'ing
Kano absolutely owned the film though. Just a delightful character.

So dumb, so great. Scorpion saying "Get over here" was a real "Say the line, Bart" moment.
God i enjoyed it

Kanos character is what happens when you pick an actual australain and give dialogue that a smart assed australian would actually say and not what an american thinks they want them to sound like and end up completely butchering it

 

[azzah72]

I thought Mortal Kombat was pretty bad.

Wooden acting, almost nothing plot that seems to jarringly jump all over the place, even mid-sentence sometimes.

I'll agree that Kano was the highlight, by far and the opening and closing fights with sub and scorpion were enjoyable.

All the rest ....... yikes.

The fights were basically PG-13 until the fatalities as well, like power rangers fights.

Granted, a couple of the fatalities were gleefully gory.

5/10

I’ll never understand this criticism of these sorts of films
My guy, you’re watching Mortal Kombat... ain’t no one in these cinemas looking for character development, cohesive story telling/plot and Oscar winning acting

Its not the Godfather
It’s mortal kombat lol

Yeah but they should be at least able to act well enough that it isn't jarring.

The web series for example was cheesy also but it was still decently enough acted.

This was mostly jarringly bad acting, outside of 2 or 3 of them.

Nahhh actually to me the acting is secondary in a film like this to the actors ability to pull off the fight scenes.

I thought they all went well with that....

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Heheh. I watched it too. It was fun enough.

But yeah, watching the main guy (can’t remember his characters name) try and fumble through his dialogue was as ham-fisted as me trying to do a “fatality” 20 years ago in a Time Zone “super session”.

I wasn’t expecting much. The Aussie guy gave a couple of good gags.

 

[Phillips]

If anything it made me go and buy the game on Xbox lol.

 

[Generalzod]

I loved Godzilla vs Kong, kind of remind me watching those Saturday afternoon movies when I was a kid...
