Special Forces - French action movie - entertaining

Basically Tears of the Sun in Afghanistan.

I just double featured Special Forces with Soldiers of Fortune (a Christian Slater movie) both of them were pretty good.

Check out Bruiser with Jason Flemyng and Peter Stomare. A George Romero movie about a man who wakes up to find his face is missing and has been replaced by a white featureless mask.

Granted the trailer is pretty awful.

I don't get it either. That movie rocks and just this weekend I uncovered my copy of the comics that were released around the same time. They really put a lot of effort into those as well.

The original Rocketeer series by Dave Stevens from back in the 80s was amazing.

The One I Love is on netflix. Just like Creep, go in as blind as possible.

Yup. I'm not saying he is on their level in raw talent, yet, but I lump the three of them together as mainstream actors who are willing to branch out and try really different roles. They're not one-note character guys, they're willing to try really extreme and disturbing roles that, for some reason or other, really stand out to me. Tom Hardy is a bit like that as well, though outside of Locke (which is amazing!) he usually plays varying degrees of "tough guy".

I watched Creep blind and hated it. Totally the wrong kind of movie for me. If I had heard the plot, I would have passed on it in a second and not wasted my time.

Did you at least enjoy Duplass' performance? Even with movies I dislike I at least enjoy seeing interesting performances. Or at least I try enjoying them. Doesn't always work.

The movie pissed me off so much I didn't enjoy anybody's performance by the end. It was a prime example of why I normally spoil myself on TV and movies.

Did anyone see undisputed which is laying around on Netflix? it had a weird choice for a boxing film in telling the audience multiple times the plucky underdog is probably actually going to win. It tricked me into thinking the antagonist was actually the protagonist for like 90% of the film.

Walter Hill is one of my favorite all time directors. Check out his 1975 Charles Bronson/James Coburn boxing movie Hard Times.

I totally forgot they made a Wing Commander movie starring in the moment 90's teen movie heart throbs. What a weird thing to exist. I might have to watch it.

I saw that in the theater when I was on Vicodin from a nasty back injury. It was one of the most surreal experiences of my life with the pain and the drugs and the awful movie.

It's been a bit since there has been a Netflix horror discussion in this thread. Anyone notice any gems in there lately? I think I may have already watched most of what is worth watching, but I could go for a decent competenty directed horror film tonight.

Watched Dark Skies last night and it wasn't terrible. it pretty much shits out at the end but I thought it was entertaining at least.

It's on youtube but Argento's Phenomena is still amazing.

I saw a 35mm print the first time and it blew my mind. It's probably my favorite Argento because he just goes for it in that movie. Psychics, serial killers, chimps with straight razors, Donald Pleasance, Jennifer Connelly, creepy Swiss boarding schools, glaciers... :iia:

I watch everything off a HTPC so this Hulu news makes me happy. I was fine with free and having to watch ads. But paying and having to watch ads annoyed the poo poo out of me.

edit: They just added Scanners to the Criterion Collection guess I know what tonight's movie is.
