Disappointing really given the directions they could have gone in. Feels like a committee made movie where they cut corners to keep the budget low and got a by-the-numbers script to package the movie for overseas funding/distribution. Pretty much a cash-in sequel. Even the old Cannon movies from the 80's like Sly's Over the Top or Cobra had more entertainment value. Last blood had a 50 million dollar budget yet looks like a cheap straight to dvd POS with less set pieces than Rambo 4 (which had the same production budget). Where did the money go? Sly's wallet probably. He has a rep for pocketing a significant chunk of his movie budgets in salary. The Rambo concept lends itself to some fun action adventure movies if it was given the a-list treatment but Sly is a b-movie guy and he just dumbs down the material for his movies unfortunately. The few times he's worked with a real director (one who isn't taking orders from Sly), you get more high concept fare like Creed or even Cliffhanger. There's nothing wrong with b-movies though, Bronson did a number of great ones from back in the day. Hell, Liam Neeson has been doing them well on auto-pilot for the last decade. I like b-movies if they're done well. This one just isn't. The director of Last Blood is a journeyman type but he did much better work with Mel Gibson's "Get the Gringo". And there you go. The difference between being ghost directed by Gibson vs Sly. I have pre-ordered this movie from amazon. I love the Rambo movies, so I know I will love this one. I just love Sly. He seems like such a cool guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really weird about movies that star a character I really love, like Rocky or Rambo, I even love the worst ones because you kinda grow up with this thing so its like seeing an old friend again or something.

My daughter is very anxious to see this and I am too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Bram Stokers Dracula. Effects are dated but not cheesy. A wolf and a lady make love! Ive not heard of such a thing north of Jacksonville Is this the movie that Gary Oldman did just before joining Guns for the SIDHY video (and from there to rehab)?

RussTCB Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I saw Zombieland 2 on Saturday, which I actually liked as much as the first. I saw Jay & Silent Bob Reboot yesterday whichever had a bjnch of issues but was enjoyable overall. I'm watching 3 From Hell right now. I've heard extremely mixed things but I'm about half way through and really liking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The Addams Family Very cute. The original song was played too. Loved it! I saw Kevin Smith on a talk show and he said this new Jay and Silent Bob was just a re-boot of the second one. lol I did see that Jay might be a dad to a daughter. That's new! The daughter was played by Kevin's real daughter, Harley Quinn. Let me know how the 3 from hell is! My mom ordered it off amazon.com for me. I've loved all those crazy Rob movies since the first one.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 House the movie from 1985. I haven't watched this movie in such a long time. Still very good. Funny and scary. It was on a local Dallas channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Last night was Halloween so I watched Rob Zombie's '3 From Hell'. Now, I was very curious when this film was announced as I felt the ending of 'The Devil's Rejects' was fucking perfect. How could he possibly make another film in this franchise? It was decent, and I'll see it again, but I do feel it's missing something (Not just Sid Haig). It's not Rob's worst film, though. I give that title to '31'.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Play or Die The movie was on Showtime. Had a twist ending, which was cool. I think it was a foreign film. The characters all had different accents, but the plot was different. It's a horror film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Film adaptations are usually not as good as the book, but I will probably check this one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
