Reservoir Dogs

A botched robbery indicates a police informant, and the pressure mounts in the aftermath at a warehouse. Crime begets violence as the survivors -- veteran Mr. White, newcomer Mr. Orange, psychopathic parolee Mr. Blonde, bickering weasel Mr. Pink and Nice Guy Eddie -- unravel.

They don't make films like this anymore, that's all you're getting. Watch It.

Film Rating 8\10.

Blue Beetle

Recent college grad Jaime Reyes returns home full of aspirations for his future, only to find that home is not quite as he left it. As he searches to find his purpose in the world, fate intervenes when Jaime unexpectedly finds himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology: the Scarab.

It really just makes you wonder why they didn't try to do something a little more creative with the story? Why did they make a movie that a child of 10 could predict what was going to happen next? whatever the reasoning was, it once again marks another miss for the beleaguered DCEU.
The superhero business feels like it’s been on life support for over half a decade now and the best thing they could do with this universe is to kill it off completely and put everyone out of their bleeding misery. Masses of CGI, a poor script and Susan Sarandon camping it up as a badesque villain, wow, this film had it's legs chopped off before it had even got going.

What the studio should have done is rip that scarab beetle out of the film altogether, along with Sarandon and the CGI and just focused a comedy story around that family unit, it would have made it a better film me thinks. The family unit did work quite well together and the actors did their best to get the most out of their characters but with an even better script to go with them it would have been a much better watch than what was offered up.

Movie Rating 3.3\10

A Marketing Executive for a toy company gets the sack after a product launch goes wrong in a big way after a mix up in deliveries

"Casa Amor - Exclusive for Ladies" a highly original and very funny Korean movie with English subtitles and a great script.

.....and a short clip from the movie. I recommend it, it's a lot of fun.

"Ironclads" 1991.

"Are you a praying man sir?"
" I am now...." Quote from the movie.

ACW drama about espionage, patriotism, treason, and good manners. Good casting and actors, notably Virginia Madsen

The last 30 mins of this clip is "duplication".

A "What If" movie..... Col. Custer survives Little Big Horn...barely alive and severely traumatized.....and is put on trial.

A great movie with some stellar performances, Brian Keith for one, and Blythe Danner too. Once again the last 30 mins or so of this clip is duplication.

The tape quality is not the best but the movie is pretty damn good.
