Seen any good movies, gun related or not?

[<<Genesis93>>]

Caught the latest Bruce Willis flick, 'Precious Cargo'.... was highly underwhelming, I think it was a milk money role, he gotta pay the bills.... kind of exhaustingly predictable, though not boring.... it wasnt his best effort, but if you like lots of theatrical shooting....



Disappointing when these 'movie houses' cant get their gun bizo right, like the old endless magazines and recoil-less pistols and rifles.... but in this movie the 'sniper' (female) was shooting a 308 win mag .. funny how you can dress a rifle up and it no longer looks almost a century old , who can pick it??

[happyhunter]

Looks like a pimped out M14.

[<<Genesis93>>]

The heart of the sea.
Best flic I've seen in a long time.

Moby Dick revisited?
Did they perhaps shoot the whale with a Martini spear gun of sorts??

I've been struggling with movie releases for a while now - even some with bigger named actors...

It doesn't seem like there's anything worthy of watching of late - with the odd exception of the very big name sci-fi releases. (Antman, Gardians of the Galaxy, or Star Wars)...

Either they're not writing as many movies as they used to, they've lost the ability to write a good story line (I couldn't give a @#$@ about sfx - storyline is and is where it's always been for me...), or I've just become old, cynical and too much of a critic with my expectations getting too high.

Either way - I'll be watching this thread with interest to see if there's anything suggested that I might fancy...

Movies I'm looking forward to seeing are the next release of Gardians of the Galaxy (2017), The next Star Wars (end of 2016) and the next Star Trek movie (2017 I believe).

Maybe it's time to pull out those old Tom Clancy DVD's in the cupboard... Been a while since I've seen Shooter as well - which I also enjoyed.

Saw this recently

[<<Genesis93>>]

The New Stars really annoyed me, how they are so lacking in ideas that they took the old movie, replaced the boy with a girl, renamed the planet and to top it off, changed the race of the clones.... all in the name of PC 'social justice'....
couple all that with the sale of the rights to Disney - so we'll have a new movie every year or 2.... forget that, I'd rather watch 60's and 70's vintage Bond (Its actually really good in HD!!).

[<<Genesis93>>]

Zoolander 2.... just annoying. It wasnt even entertaining the first time

[AusTac]

sabotage with arnie is an alright movie

[scope]

Watched 'Captain Philips' last night. Do recommend watching, its also a true story.

[happyhunter]

Pinapple Express is always a good one, although anything with the old ultra violence is usually entertaining.

[brett1868]

The Boondock Saints and The Boondock Saints II - Not the usual Billy Connolly role, plenty of gratuitous violence in both films.

[Gwion]

Not that new but fairly recent:

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse: really quite funny in a juvenile sort of way.

Mud: grimy story line of crime, redemption and retribution in the US deep South. Well acted and directed. Well worth watching.

The Big Short: great flick. Bloody merchant bankers!!!

[scotty87]

Korean action comedy, the good the bad and the weird. Decent flick if you don't mind subtitles.

[Title_II]

Well, if we are going old school, I'd recommend CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH:

High school kids smoke nuclear weed and it makes them crazy and have wild mutant babies.

Army of Darkness is a funny one.

revenant but i dont think it was oscar worth the true story would have been good and shooting a flint lock pistol 3 time and never reloading from horse back was
a joke

Maybe it was a magazine fed flintlock

But the bear attack was a classic, they may as well shown his 4 limbs separated from his body then have them reattached...and his recovery after a shot of Rum and a good nights sleep... The meme with Leo grappling for the Oscar was a classic as well...fitting...

Enough said.

[<<Genesis93>>]

Blood Orange (2016)... stars Iggy Pop (jeez he's a dried up pruney, leathery skinned fella) about..... a sick old muso who enjoys hunting rabbits with a 303 while his young wife spends her day 'entertaining' the pool boy.... then it gets twisty...

[GaryA]

Went to see PAWNO last weekend. Fantastic movie, very Australian, Footscray setting

Looking at checking out ''Hunt for the Wilderpeople' next.

The God Father 1 and 2 are always good for a laugh. Definitely gun related.

[<<Genesis93>>]

sure.... have a laugh at Hollywood's perpetuation of the myth that Italians are responsible for organised crime in the USA...

Sorry. Had to say it.

Seriously though, the movie is almost all fiction. The truth is so much worse.
