Cocaine Bear
It’s bloody hard work sitting with a 13 and 15 year old and finding something we all want to watch but we nailed it first time with this !
Leave your brain and any semblance of logic at the door ( although apparently this is based on a true story ? ) and strap yourselves in for a ridiculous, gory, funny ride. Without giving anything away it’s literally about a Bear. On Cocaine.
Ray Liotta, Ice Cubes son and the black dude from the wire who swears a lot are terrific in this. The chick from Felicity has improved with age too.
A good solid 3.5 drug fuelled bears chasing ambulances out of 5 dismembered park visitors.
Watched it with CF Jr and L'il Miss CF, 13 and 9, they thought it was pretty funny, although the younger didn't totally enjoy the jump scares

My boys realised what utter bullshit it was when the bear CAUGHT UP TO THE AMBULANCE while it was driving away at full speed.When they crashed into the tree the oldest made a really tasteless but hilarious joke about Asian drivers too haha.

The CGI was pretty poor too. About as average as that shark movie with LL Cool J and the hot redhead

Yes, some close ups of the bear were horrifically shit looking.

The Creator is worth a look, original story instead of a sequel or comic movie. Special effects are outstanding, apparently on only 80 million budget.
Director from Rogue One.
Child actors are usually shit, but the girl in this stole the show. First acting role and is a natural. Plot is not the most original but still manages to be surprising, and has something to say.
My daughter got dragged to see it and ended up really enjoying it.

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. Favourite part had to be the ambulance. Score is about right 👍

Battlefield Earth
This copped a pounding from critics when it was released. According to Wikipedia 'Released to a critical and commercial failure, it is frequently described as one of the worst films of all time'. 23 years later it's worse than they said.

Battlefield Earth
So the 2.5 rating on IMDb is generous?
I do remember seeing it nearer to release, and it had the Scientology label attached to it, which didn't help.

Cocaine Bear
Was probably going to give this a miss, but from what's been posted, i'll give it a try.
Equaliser 3.
OK-ish, but a bit stale and Denzil looks a bit tired of the franchise. Good that they are stopping after this one.

I know my movies.

Navy Seals
- This is where Charlie Sheen tried "method acting", but went "Full Retard"
- introduction is him waking up drunk on a beach
- character is quickly outlined as being an arrogant douche
- ... never looked back
- Entire movie is an ad for the Seal Teams... and not for recruitment, the whole thing seems like a "we've got this awesome anti-terrorism team - do NOT fuck with us" announcement
- Soundtrack a fucking sweet mixture of 80s/90s US-cock-rock, and barely-disguised-Top-Gun-anthem-ripoff(s)
Definitely getting vibes now that we are truly in a simulation, or that world events are just WWE-style "news-entertainment", and this was just a teaser for the whole Seal Team Six thing.
Wake up, sheeple. - This is where Charlie Sheen tried "method acting", but went "Full Retard"

Watched this last night after hearing Edwards on a podcast talking about the effects. It's really amazing how they did all that for so little. I wonder if it will generally revolutionise the industry or whether the effects companies will just increase prices to match the prices of general industry standard?
Really enjoyed it although my one issue with it was that it made Asia seem mostly rural/backwards when anyone who has been there knows that is far from the truth for the majority of the area.
Agree the girl was great, although I didn't realise she was a girl until the wounded soldier said she was a girl.

@antipodean - I've got Platoon downloaded, ready to re-watch... I'd forgotten he was even in it.
@mariner4life - Fuck yes... Bill Paxton, playing a bad-ass sniper named "God". Weird. -

Platoon is a giant step up from the usual (deliberate) quality of your movie watching. But have you actually seen it, how do you forget the main actor in the movie?
It's probably the movie I've seen the most in my life (along with True Romance) as my mates and I used to come from the pub, grab all night KFC, and watch Platoon.

Yep, even down to Living Colour's Corey Glover.
