Rebel Moon
I know the original releases were panned but I quite enjoyed them. So I watched the R18 Director's Cuts of both movies. Over 6 h in total. We get to see more backstories of some of the characters and there is plenty of graphic violence. And plenty of Sofia Boutella as well.
are they on netflix? i had similar thoughts, there are plenty of films that are fun...but not good
They were. Not sure now
They're Netflix productions, so they should be there.
Not sure why I'm directing people to those shit stains masquerading as movies - I must secretly dislike @Kiwiwomble
He's pretty unlikeable. Constantly inoffensive. Fuck him.

Dollman
I had a weird feeling I'd seen that before - until about 1/3 of the way in. Now I'm intrigued by both Dollman, and whatever it is I've seen before that reminded me of it.
My local cinema shows Dollman as having Seeders >0 - but "Downloading metadata" for now - about the same status as my chances of watching Ebola Rex. Fuck, I want to watch Ebola Rex, so bad.
On the upside - my options at the local cinema include a version of Dollman which is "REMASTERED.BRRip" - so... that's gotta be a good sign.He also did this masterpiece, maybe thatās what youāre thinking of ?

You might actually be right. That looks VERY familiar. And checking my local cinema - there's fucking SIX in the Trancers series? It's a mofo-ing franchise.
And I have a vague memory I might have discovered and exclaimed that before as well. -
Clerks III
I've watched all the Clerks movies over the last week or so - while stoned, to get "that" view of them
Original - amusing
2 - I'm vaguely remembering as being problematic
3 - not great. Lots of self-referencing self-back-clapping nonsense.- and realised - I've never seen this before. Maybe watching Kevin Smith's schtick for the first time while stoned... doesn't quite work? Anyway...
Tit-watch: minimal. Rosario Dawson's return in III - kept my otherwise dwindling interest piqued.

You need to also watch 2024's The 4:30 Movie - a spiritual prequel by Kevin Smith set in the 1980's

Watched half of Bullet Train.
Great fun over the top bullshit, Brad at his best ( does he ever put a foot wrong ? ) and loads of other quirky psychos.
I do like that genre of movie, but unfortunately had to postpone the rest of it as I was busy catching flies on the couch after a big day.
Great recommendation from my sons.
Iām sure if will get a good review when I finish watching tonight !

You might need to watch it from the beginning again. Itās so batshit crazy that youāll likely forget what the hell is going on.

Yeah might do, we didnāt start it til 10pm and as it is over two hours long I knew Iād be battling.
Again, Kudos to the Bradster for continuing to stay interesting and fun unlike others ( cough cough Neeson, Travolta, Butler etc ) who just phone it in for a paycheck.

Butler doesn't deserve to be there, he's acting his socks off not phoning it in. That's just his level. He's still mostly fun though unlike the plank Clive Owen. (Have to get my dig of Owen into a post about crap acting).
I enjoyed Bullet Train, over the top crazy, had one of those weird streamer releases instead of being released in theatres IIRC.

He plays the exact same character in every movie Iāve seen him in in the last 15 or so years.

Yeah, but that's his range. Travolta and Neeson have touched greatness.

Surely thatās a writerās problem
They can all act and have some recent gems between them

Owen was excellent in Monsieur Spade
