I still haven't checked that one out. Not a big fan of Clive Owen I couldn't stand him in Sin City. But I've heard good things so I'll give it a spin.

I've watched a lot of 70s cult/trash/whatever you wanna call 'em flicks over the last couple of years and I'm easily pleased with cool characters, violence, car chases etc despite minimal plot. Like I said there relaxing, great fun and a lot more escapist.

Just picked up "The Last Winter"

to be completely honest, it probably one of my favorite action movies from the 80's. its a cheese sandwich with great one liners, and completely over the top, just my kind of thing. i love it.

yeah - i think you should give this one a go ASAP ..

it's probably the most fun film i've seen in years

hmmm..If you didn't like Clive in Sin City....you may not like him in Shoot-Em-Up. Personally I loved him in both.

also.....I like Hell Ride as well.....so you are not alone my friend;)

so is hellride like a mindless action flick, is that why people dislike it?
honestly, thats just what i want, there just aren't enough these days. modern day action movies are either PG-13 Fast and Furious/XXX type, or just take them selfs too seriously.

i havent seen hell ride - but let me say this ..

you can have dumb fun mindless action - done cleverly ..

there's a difference between stupid unimaginative cliches and ones done with some thought to them. i thought Crank was well done mindless action - so was Shoot 'em Up.

its a genre thats been done to death - frankly i got sick of it - so to see some new life breathed into it is refreshing to me ...

we've come too far and thanks to home video - we've become somewhat more sophisticated due to prolongued exposure...

the action film has to be smarter these days.


case in point : The Marine.

acceptable 20 years ago - now it's just a fucking stupid waste of time and an insult to the basest intelligence.

I'm afraid Hell Ride would most likely fall into the "stupid unimaginative cliches" category. A real throwback to the "biker" movies...but more blood and boobs.

that's probably why I liked it:D

Picked up Hard Boiled 2 disc collectors edition and The Warriors

Kenny Vs Spenny Season Four.
