I love First Blood. I never watched 2 or three or 4 if there is one. I also love Rambo. Wasn't crazy about the last one though.

Candy Land
Remy, a seemingly naive and devout young woman, finds herself cast out from her religious cult. With no place to turn, she immerses herself into the underground world of truck stop sex workers. Under the watchful eye of their matriarch and an enigmatic local lawman, Remy navigates between her...

The rest of them are pretty awesome but First Blood stands out for saying some really important shit about shell shock in the guise of a standard action movie.

Foe - 3/10. This is a very well acted and shot shit movie.
The husband (a manlet) of Saoirse Ronan, in a world similar to the interstellar one, is chosen (forced) to live in space for a year. She will be given a robot copy of her husband kinda. The primary focus is how retarded she is about her emotions, but it treats it like she's being heroic or real or something.
Nudity - yes, but not a lot

I watched the original Conan movie again recently. 11/10. Sometimes art transcends the form. Especially the Atlantean Tomb scene is just great. Barely a line spoken and so much expressed.
It also reminded me how devastatingly bad most modern film scores are. There's nothing quite like the swell of an orchestra.

Hot Shots part 2
I had seen it in the cinema with friends when it first came out. I still remember it being the most I'd laughed during a film.
I watched it again for the first time in forever. I was in the mood for some cheesey comedy I guess. And I got plenty of good laughs out of it again.

Watched Top Gun Maverick against last night. Damn that movie is so well put together. A tad bit too long, but otherwise nearly flawless.

We watched Predator 2 last night and it is really hard to know where to start rating this thing.
It accidentally came very close to predicting what a “near future” or undefined time looks like, even watching in 2024. They decided to throw hilariously large lasers and optics on every weapon. Turned out to be accurate. IMFDB had the best pictures. These are hilarious.
Also putting AUGs in the Colombian gang's hands was great. Karl having one in Die Hard and then bam here's 50 in Predator 2.
Then you have the escalation of all the gang wars. It felt very Robocop 2 almost (also 1990). And is strikingly close to some of the big city issues and inner city killing. We aren't seeing automatic weapons battles in the streets of LA, yet. Plus the Heat Wave stuff seems relatable to all the continued Global Warming push we're still seeing.
Just a really interesting take.
The movie though is just bad to mediocre. Danny Glover makes the whole thing tolerable b/c the whole time I'm just imagining him as Murtaugh saying "I'm too old for this shit!" as he's climbing down plumbing on the outside of a building or jumping over cars chasing the Predator. Bill Paxton is so Bill Paxton, similar to Glover you can almost imagine him as the great great great great grandson of Hudson from Aliens. Poor Gary Busey. I really wish there was a special edition that put an easter egg in where Keyes' team worked for Weyland Co. Really didn't like a couple of the things they did with Predator. Like the lightning strike on top of the building. Plus he looked terrible scaling that thing from the outside.
So hard to say this is in any way a good movie, but it is bad enough to be enjoyable. 5.5/10 for me.

Correct, Predator 2 is set in 1997 and Aliens is set in 2179. So assuming that Jerry Lambert (Paxton in P2) fathered a son in 1997, and that son had a son in 2027 then that son in 2057 etc. Then Lambert would be the great-great-great-great grandfather of Hudson from Aliens

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning.
Not bad - maybe it was great. I honestly couldn't tell-- I just kind of got lost in some of it. It was almost OVER stimulation with the constant action.
Amazing what Tom Cruise can do at age 60.
Plus his not model hot, but amazingly attractive/sexy villains (Vanessa Kirby & Pom Klementieff in particular) are some exceptional casting.
I probably have to (and will) see it again.

Currently watching Air Force One for first time since its rental release. 90s action movies haven't aged well but this is holding up so far. The Atmos soundtrack is also highly dynamic.
Edit: I forgot about the lol parachute escape. It got silly near the end and the background music was overly dramatic

I almost posted something stupid about how I loved how Steven Segal only lasted like 5 mins in that before I caught myself and double checked -- yeah that was Executive Decision.

X - 6/10 decent set up for what the movie was, I personally think the second half should have been edited down to 10-15 minutes. The first half could have been 10-15 minutes longer. Hope that make sense, trying not to spoil
DumbMoney - 6.5/10 I went into it expecting it to be a 4/10. Was pleasantly surprised, but it ain't making a top 20 of the year.
