    The Terminal List
    Not an movie but a new Amazon series.

    I have two episode left and so far I've thought it has been a solid thriller/shoot em up. There seems to be a WIDE disparity between critics (who really seem to hate Chris Pratt) and the audience on this one.

    Terminal list has weird family flashbacks and a bit of superconservative Themes which seem weird to euros but should be fine in the US. Solid Action entertainment. Notvas good Aa reacher, but Solid 7 out of 10.
    Solid revenge thing. Although the final Twist is a bit meh and obvious.

    But I thoroughly enjoyed the death of the pseudo Military Fitness rogan dude.

    Also watching and agreeing; this phenomenon of critic hate + audience love has always intrigued me, especially in contrast to the reverse (critic love + audience hate). Obviously, critics aren't infallible but it would seem that sometimes they are victims of their own expertise. Not that audiences can't shit the bed, too .........

    After seeing Chris Pratt as Andy in Parks & Rec for so many years I think I'd have a hard time finding him believable as an action star.

    Both are extremely droll, deadpan drenched semi-dark comedies.

    OF HORSES AND MEN
    $1.99 rental

    Taking place in a small, rural Icelandic community, this film examines the relationship between the citizens and the wild horses surrounding them. Poignant, quirky, often funny, yet also darkly introspective and harsh; kind of just like the Icelandic landscape.




    O’HORTEN
    $2.99 rental

    This quietly absurd endeavor follows the exploits of a railway engineer after he retires. He basically just wants to chill and smoke his pipe, but keeps getting sucked into hilariously odd situations.

    Road House remake announced by Amazon Studios, proving again how Hollywood filmmakers are all too often bereft of originality.

    Plus they obviously forgot about how both Road House 2 and the Point Break remake/reboot tanked…(i.e. you prolly shouldn’t F with Swayze’s legacy…).

    Based on this idiocy, I am guessing that a Ghost remake/reboot isn’t far behind…

    WYRMWOOD: APOCALYPSE
    $1.99 rental, but worth it

    Just when one thought the zombie genre was dead, along comes this gonzo effort from Oz.
    Huge nods to The Road Warrior, Night of the Comet, Evil Dead 2, Soylent Green, and Day of the Dead, this is a blood soaked and splattered brains good time.
    It’s a sequel to the 2014 Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead, which is also a hoot, but not required to enjoy this little ditty.

    NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD
    You down with Mad Max?
    Have you seen Turkey Shoot?
    Or Thirst?
    This documentary chronicles the insane grind house era of Australian cinema, showing the world that there was a whole lot more to movies from Down Under than just Crocodile Dundee.
    Teeming with nudity, violence, and gonzo vehicular mayhem, this film is aimed at folks who grew up on Tarantino and George Miller, but are intrigued by what other Aussie offerings of action and cult status insanity are lurking out there.

    Trailer Contains Gratuitous Nudity and Gore

    Watched out of boredom; ended up fast forwarding most of it. Absolutely awful. Blatant attempt at creating a franchise. If there’s a #2, it would truly be a second #2, in the crudest sense of the term.

    [While it is totally worth the $3.99 rental, you can also scope it for free via signing up for the AMC+ 7-day free trial]

    I wasn’t totally sure what to expect from the trailer, but I really enjoyed writer/director Riley Stearn’s two previous films, both of which I highly recommend (Faults and The Art of Self Defence).
    Teeming with cool callbacks, a solid story, and some wicked deadpan humor, this film is a whiz-bang, low-budget, indie sci-fi masterpiece.

    ONLY THE ANIMALS
    It always starts with a missing body…
    Dominik Moll’s latest effort is a slow-burn psychodrama that’s part mystery, part subdued revenge thriller, topped off with a little bit of black humor, and just a smidgen of soap opera melodrama, all wrapped up in an intriguing cross cultural mélange.
    It’s slow and methodical with some rich cinematography augmented by solid acting from all involved.
    Definitely more sedate than some of Moll’s previous works, but the ending slipped out of nowhere with a nice slice of irony.

    This was really sick in the best possible ways, loved it.

    Anyone else check out the first two episodes of, The Rings of Power?
    Holy shit did they throw some money at this series, opening scene is totally mental. It shows a lot of promise, I’m in.

    Been watching the Gymkhana files documentary on making of Ken Block's tenth vid. Pretty cool if you are into that kinda thing.

    Also Dust to Glory and Dust 2 Glory are pretty cool. Baja 1000 documentaries.

    Yep. Blown away. Even the Mrs., who prolly can’t tell you the difference between an Ent and and a hobbit, was all in after the first episode….Fucking awesome.

    Really? You enjoyed "Badass Galadriel, sauron hunter?" I'll decide after a bit more, but that character massacre is just ridiculous.

    Me. I kept my vows and guarded the silmaril. I mean it's all fun and games going to Angband hunting dark creatures until Ungolianth weaves some darkness and kills the trees!

    And I'm very much for fun badass fantasy looking forward to the d&d movie. Just not in the LOTR setting.
