Caught “Eye of the Tiger” starring Gary Busey on cable last night. I love trashy B-movies and this 80’s cheesefest was among the worst I’ve seen (making it one of the best!). A standard revenge flick that runs through the checklist of clichés and doesn’t just telegraph plot twists in advance … it displays them on a giant neon billboard. A nasty bike gang ride 150cc trail bikes and are totally unscary, Yaphet Kotto is a cool cop, and Busey ends up tooling around in a high-tech, death-dealing Dodge pickup. Spoiler alert –the scene that cracked me up is when the gang dig up the coffin containing Busey’s wife (who they killed) and drag it back to his house with their trail bikes, and his reaction is to throw up (not so funny in as I type it in, but side-splitting for the viewer). Highly recommended for fans of “what the hell were the writers thinking?”-type movies!

Jackie Brown (1997)

Watched it several years ago. Decided yesterday its evening time with Quentin. Anyway, great acting from the whole crew. Plenty of interesting dialogs.

Bull Durham again unfortunately on TSN (Canadian sports network) which meant it was censored to the point of ruining it. Stupidity of running a movie with adult dialogue and then editing it so that you end up staring at the people with their lips moving but nothing coming out wondering what the fuck is going on..
Otherwise terrific movie .Anyone that says Kevin Costner is a no talent should watch this or basically anything of his before The Postman and maybe reassess their thinking.
Also I mentioned the film contained adult dialogue but really everything about Bull Durham is adult and I mean that in the best possible ( non -pornographic) way.Nice to see real romance between two equals instead of having to endure Jennifer Anni-stun or the other shit that passes for studio entertainment these days.

Welcome, Mate! Thanks for not only taking the time to write a good review, but also for bringing a movie to my attention that I never heard of before. Well done. :)

Iron Monkey (1993)

Wow, what a martial arts movie! It was apparent on a few instances that wires were used, but sometimes I didn't know if what I was looking at was exactly what was filmed or had it been edited in some way. My hat goes of to Donnie Yen.

The ending was a little over the top, though. Fighting while standing on burning poles? C'mon!

Stop-loss 8/10

Operation Endgame (2010)- Jeffrey Tambour, Rob Corddry, Zach Galifianakis.

It's hard to describe this genre-bending movie- part comedy, part slasher film, part political screed- but it really doesn't matter...it's fun to watch.

The Factory is a deep black ops unit, split in two (supposedly equalizing) teams and charged with hiding all the government's failed covert operations.
On the day of Obama's inauguration, the head of the unit is killed, triggering a lockdown and timed destruction of the facility...with everyone trapped inside.

Mayhem ensues.

As a "message" movie, Operation Endgame is a mess...in fact, by most normal standards, the whole movie is a mess but the (startlingly) high quality cast is clearly having a blast and the body count is ridiculously high, not to mention quite inventive (death by paper shredder anyone?).

Not my normal cup o tea but for some reason, very enjoyable.
Watch it just to see Rob Corddry's perpetually drunken rants, they're hilarious.

Inception.
omg what an amazing movie. nolan is really a good director and ellen page, DiCaprio and the other actors were very good too.
of course the effects were awesome ,)
