Was gonna nominate Martin Campbell but I guess there was only 10 years between Goldeneye and Casino Royale, and The Legend of Zorro between them is also great.

From what I remember at least part of it is that VHS’s were pretty expensive back in the day, it was easier to fill your shelves with lower-priced ones

Snowman_McK posted:It's not so much taking inspiration from John Wick as it is the same script with a few nouns switched around, the same way 'Cellular' and 'Phone Booth were more or less the same film, or how the guy who wrote 'Death Wish' wrote like 4 other novels with the exact same plot. Honestly I didn't even think it was that fun, everything just felt incredibly rote. The running gag with Odenkirk's monologues was the only bit that worked for me. Kind of a bummer

Lithgow’s had a real funny career, he bounced back and forth between murderous creeps and goofy dopes for a long time. He was DePalma’s house heavy for a while, he was the lead villain in Footloose, Buckaroo Banzai and Cliffhanger. Third Rock unfortunately mostly killed that off, except for Dexter

Shrecknet posted:The best John Wick moments are when he's put to the test by a fellow master - Cassian in the second movie's extended fight/chase being the highlight - not when he's gunning down mooks by the dozen, especially in the incredibly video-gamey way he has to target their weak spot for max damage as in this film's final setpiece. I feel like 3 has more of this than any of the other movies, which is why I like it the best. The first one is basically entirely him headshotting goons

The Grey was totally mismarketed as an action flick when it’s really just a bleak sad tough guy movie. I enjoyed it a lot at the time, Neeson doing overwrought monologues is usually the best part of his movies and that’s basically all of The Grey

Pratt fundamentally doesn’t seem to get what made him more compelling in Guardians and Parks and Rec, or he does and would rather just turn in bad performances miscast as a badass

Basebf555 posted:I think Worthington has Cameron to blame for that one. If he'd been in a whole trilogy of Avatar films that all made huge money his career would've taken twice as long to fizzle out. The only heat he ever really had in his career was because Cameron cast him as the lead in Avatar, he got parts in Clash of the Titans and Terminator Salvation before anyone ever really saw him

Technically not a movie (although I guess it was also released as a movie?), but Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal is kind of a masterpiece. Best animation I’ve seen in years and incredible action. Feels like it got buried though I don’t really keep up with the cartoon scene. Season 1 is on HBO Max and the new season starts in a few days
