    A trusted friend saw the new Rambo movie and claimed that it was nearly as good as Taken.

    If you're saying that to put any of us off, you have failed.

    That would be a unique set of skills.

    @Catogrande How could you post here for a decade and not know how much I love Taken and similarly underrated b-movies?

    It is true, I have noticed that. Together with a high degree of sarcasm. It sometimes leaves me confused.

    Don’t you dare call Taken a b-movie.

    @Tim I thought the only currency you use is comparisons to "Under Siege" or "Above The Law'? 😉

    Saw Ad Astra last night, should have been my sort of film. Was just dull, but pretty. Kind of like Pitt really.

    Which I had seen Rambo, but it was the wife’s turn to pick.

    Annabelle: Creation

    Watched this on Netflix and thought it was pretty well done. For scary movies less is definitely more, if you leave a lot to the imagination then it can be super creepy. Cheesy shots of some demon looking creature ruin it for me a bit. For the most part this movie does that well and there’s plenty of pretty intense scenes.

    3.5 evil scarecrows out of 5 possessed dolls

    Rambo Last Blood, or Taken - Mexico, or Home Alone with deaths and tunnels, or Rambo please be true and this be the Last Blood.

    What a terrible movie to finish off the series. This is a 1/5 for 90% of the movie and then a 4/5 for 10%.

    A big problem is it's slow, like really slow at the start, and by start I mean the first hour. It takes ages to get to the decent action. If Liam Nesson was involved the movie would have been over in 20 minutes.

    @taniwharugby Please don't think of me as an IMDB reviewer, I went in with the same criteria as you ... it failed.

    If you don't mind spoilers I'll tell you the good 10%:

    :::

    The end, the last 15 minutes is all you need to see. It has great cartoon violence.

    :::

    I think I preferred that NZ netflix movie ... I think. 😕

    Just saw Downton Abbey - The Movie with Mrs Meldrew.

    Dunno if Downton Abbey is anyone's thing on here but it's great fun. Didn't try to be pretentious or clever, there were no plot twists or turns and it was very predictable - which actually made it really enjoyable.

    Oh, and Maggie Smith delivers one-liners that Stallone & Schwarzenegger can only dream of.

    Nah. That's Taken 7 where Neeson uses his special skills to rescue his togs from a terrorist-virus-infected Samsung smart washing machine.

    Minimum. I'd be getting my other head read if I agreed to that.

    Taken 8 where loses his keys and accuses his mrs of taking them .

    90 minutes later he finds them right where he left them but can’t remember why he wanted to go out in the first place
