Road House (2024)
Never saw the original.
Seems a lot of 1 and 2 star reviewers also like the original road house movie... good for you. Seems like they went into this flick wanting to pick it apart. (I'm happy you enjoy your old personal nostalgia.)
I've never seen the original, and don't really care to. But this one is fun. I watched it, then returned and watched it again two nights later. Yes, Connor is smiley, cause he is supposed to be a psycho villain - sorry you missed that.
The fight scenes were put together well. The story had enough substance, yet was fun enough too.
I don't understand why liking one movie means you need to put down another movie. Did you want it to be exactly the same? Or do you not like that they still make movies decades after you liked movies?
Expecting plenty of "not helpful" feedback.. Where my uncles and aunties at! Cheers!
Lift (2024)
Was this written when the writers were still on strike?
This movie is an attempt at a team heist, in the likes of Italian Job or Ocean's Eleven.
However, the story, the plot, the action... the reason for anything in this movie to happen at all - Just completely nonsensical. I know it's just a fictional movie, but when the storyline is this far-fetched, it's hard to watch.
It's a team that pulls a law enforcement-sanctioned job for a reason that makes no sense, which endangers hundreds of lives for (again) no reason, while destroying more property than heist is actually worth in the first place... all the while, defying all logic and reason in the process. Seriously, law-enforcement can't run a sting operation? They had to instead hire a team of criminals to do their job for them in a way that causes this many unnecessary problems?? I could go on and on, but let's leave the spoilers out of this one. Ughhh, just bad.
However, if you can somehow get past the absolute nonsensical reasoning for everything, it does have a bit of thin, mind-numbable action that is somewhat redeemable. Yet it just is not nearly enough to overcome how silly it is. It's gotta make at least a little bit of sense, guys.
Cobra Kai (2018)
Nostalgic ... and Actually Good Too !
I remember being an elementary school kid when the original flick came out. And look out cause I was bouncing flying kicks all over the house for a week back then.
I wasn't expecting much from this series other then some 'where are they now' nostalgia... but somewhere in the second season, I reached my 'point of no return' with Cobra Kai - I have to keep watching this one! While this series gets a touch dramatic here and there, it's actually quite entertaining. The way it manages to 'up the stakes' while keeping the action going and characters developing in each new season is impressive. And it gives some additional insight into the original movies too (in case you're also part of the older group that watched this series 😂😂😂).
Without a Paddle: Nature's Calling (2009)
Hour and a half lost forever
I loved the first movie, but this second movie was just a waste of time.
