Watched Under Siege 2 last night. The range of emotion that Seagal expresses in his acting is truly minimalist, he spends the whole movie looking like he's severely constipated
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Pretty sure that was Crocodile Dundee. :wink:

But yeah, I haven't watched any of Seagull's movies made after the 90's.

Donbass (2018) D Sergei Loznitsa. Grim yet absurdly funny at times. Worth a watch.

The film was very good in many respects, but I kind of felt a little like I was being propagandised to. It's not very hard to work out whose side Loznitsa is on in that conflict!

The Kings Man. A prequel of sorts to the first two.

I enjoyed the original, the sequel was just messed up, but this was actually good. I liked it.

Saw The Fifth Element last night. Actually kind of refreshing to watch a sci-fi blockbuster that doesn’t take itself remotely seriously.

Watched Weird Science...probably one of JH's weakest movies. Kelly Le Brock was the wrong choice. She didn't even try to conceal her British accent and her expressions are just over the top.

Also watched Stripes again. Solid flick and great cast. Everyone from Sgt Hulka to Francis "Psycho".

It’s been a while since I watched it, but isn’t her accent one of her sexiest attributes?! I do agree it’s not his best (I like The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles far more), but as a switch-your-brain-off comedy I think it works okay.

There's at least 5 things sexier than her accent going on in that movie.

Cop Land. (1997) still stands up after 25 years. Solid flick. Thought Sly was very good. Streamed on Stan.

Yeah I like cop land

Netflix has a cop flick named restless, it’s bizarre, bloody funny at times, a real black comedy! Very watchable. The leads a spunk too!
