I enjoyed this. Liked how they went for a prequel approach rather than a straight up remake... although a lot of similar shit happens (It could be argued that it's basically the original with a female lead) and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Joel Edgerton seemed modelled off Kurt Russell and Keith David. Like most re-envisioned flicks it's dumbed down and quite flashy compared to it's predecessor. Real popcorn for the brain fodder here but not a bad film by any means. Nowhere near as tense as Carpenter's flick and the cast didn't have the same chemistry but it's still pretty entertaining stuff.

You're quite the role model.

Jaws Of Satan

Took me forever to track this down, and it was worth the wait I really enjoyed it.


Hobo With A Shotgun

After hearing so many good things about it I had to watch it. Was definitely ridiculous but not as out of the ordinary as everyone makes it out to be. Dont get me wrong, I liked it but it wasnt all it was hyped up to be imo.

I really liked it too and the MMA scenes were really well done for a change. Tom Hardy's sparring scene in the gym near the beginning was cool.

Thanks for the heads-up. Sounds like my kind of movie - an entertainer.

Loved it. Julie Christie is superb, and the wonderful script compliments the atmosphere and mood of the film nicely. Recommended.

Well the moves do look pretty realistic - there are a few prowrestling type suplexs in there but you do see em in MMA the odd time....Hell, Anthony Pettis' kick looked unrealistic even for a film:
