Jackie Chan goes Jackie Chan against the IRA (basically James Bond and Stannis Baratheon). Actually pretty decent action flick.
7/10
The plot is as paper-thin as most superhero movies, but it has a fantastic energy and the animation is quite amazing.
Two movies I caught recently on YouTube -
First ,The Yellow Canary. Made in 1943 it's a war propaganda thriller, spy movie. It seems to capture the flavour of the time exceptionally well (wasn't there, so I'm guessing obviously!) and there are lots of familiar faces popping up. Well worth a wet Sunday afternoon watch.
Second is Rogue Male, starring Peter O'Toole. It's a strange film, set just before WW2, but very coherent and O'Toole is fabulous as always. Enjoyable late night watch.

Rashomon: excellent and compelling.
Kagemusha: impressive, wonderful sets.
Yojimbo: the forerunner to A Fistful of Dollars, also excellent.
Seven Samurai: the inspiration for The Magnificent Seven. Excellent.
13 Assassins: bit disappointing. The battle scenes were strangely unconvincing.
Audition: Weird and darkly humorous. Enjoyable.
Battle Royale ll: entertaining but not a patch on the first one.
Onibaba: my favourite of the lot. Who would've thought a field of swaying long grass could be so entertaining? Bloody brilliant and memorable. I watched some of it again straight after because I thought it was so good.
Hollywood could learn a lot from the minimalist approach of Japanese filmmakers instead of churning out their instantly forgettable sludgy romanticised big budget pap.
Japanese films are thought provoking and open to interpretation whereas American films do it all for you, there's no challenge.

It's a scream. One of the funniest horror flicks I've seen for ages.
Gloriously sick & twisted.
Netflix.
Nice idea done excruciatingly badly. Terrible leading actress. Awful dialogue.
I’d give it 0.5. Out of 1 trillion.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Rogue male, I saw that in the 70s with my grandad , it was terrific, I liked how he was living in a little dug out hole hiding from gestapo type baddies and he had a cat he fed tinned fish . He botched a assassination attempt but managed to escape the gestapo types . I could really watch that again
An enjoyable, transport an asset through a city,whose authorities don't want him to leave and divulge a secret, romp, formula stuff, but imteresting use of CC TV and Suveillance Cams to help the plot along. With a predictable twist and great chorography in the fights......On Netflix...
Shaft 2019
Samuel L reprises the role, only he can really say "Motherfucker"....and he does, a lot!
Great soundtrack, some laugh out loud moment, utter rubbish really, but really enjoyed it...Nice to see that Richard Rowntree, the original Shaft got to play John Shafts father and got to kick some bottom! On Netflix
So many plot holes that you couldn't really say that the plot really existed, and even less character development (even though they set some up at the beginning). It's honestly like the writers weren't even trying to make it remotely make sense.
Don't bother. It's rare that I give a film 0/10, but this one definitely qualifies.
Matt Damon battles alien zombies in a chilling battle for survival in this almost Shakespearean sci-fi epic

It's not really very good and there's almost no plot at all, but it's quite atmospheric, looks good and I've always liked horror movies with religious elements. Especially when there are nuns involved, although sadly this could hardly be called nunsploitation.
The Vanishing
Grim, brooding thriller "inspired by true events". Gerard Butler actually does some proper acting in it.
