I called to a house in the middle of the backarse of Mayo one morning after taking a wrong turn leaving a session trying to get back into Ballina town, called to a house and said I'd gone on holiday by mistake and could they call me a taxi. They did.

:laugh:

Watched the new Anders Thomas Jensen film - "Riders Of Justice" - a Danish action/revenge thriller/dramedy with Mads Mikkelsen and a great supporting cast.

Some nice comedy/action set-pieces but when it shifts gears tonally into dark drama the whole film becomes mired and takes a lot of time to right itself again.

I have seen Mads Mikkelsen more than some of my own siblings in the past 3 months.

A Quiet place II ,any of you seen it?,enjoyed the first one so might go see this during the week.

Kingsmen on the tellyball  8)

Seen both Spiral and the new conjuring in the last two weeks in the cinema. Neither movie was that great but forgot how good an experience watching anything on the big screen with good sound is.

Will prob hit up quiet place 2 this week, even tho it'll probably be bad too, just to get back.


I have been watching some of 'The Muscles From Brussels' classics again lately;


Kickboxer
Bloodsport
No Retreat, No Surrender


Hard to beat some Van Dammage!
Deep Down Six Feet, Is Where I Like To Eat

Bloodsport is a classic.

I had AWOL on video back in the day and I watched it relentlessly. Great thing about having a couple of young sons is reliving things like that with them, because my wife doesn't really get the same vibes from the old action flicks as I do.

I thought the quality of his films held  up to the 90's/early 2000's.


I liked some of the cheesier ones too, the American Ninja series, (but the quality dropped as they went on).

China O'Brien

Red Scorpion, The Punisher, Showdown In Little Tokyo.
Deep Down Six Feet, Is Where I Like To Eat

I rewatched Children Of Men the other night. Very good film for anyone who hasn't seen it, although it is a bleak dystopian flick. But I love this kinda stuff!

Ya, it's really good. That stuff is right up my alley too.

Children of Men is cool yeah. Haven't seen it in years but I liked it at the time.

Great film alright. I found the book a letdown after it though.
