Hardcore Henry.

To date, its the best representation of a video game in movie form and its just plain fun. I fully get why people looking for a deeper experience would be disappointed, but then, if you go into a movie called Hardcore Henry expecting an in-depth character drama, youre an idiot.

I think one issue is the movie made people dizzy. Maybe it would have been reviewed better if it had been a third person shooter like John Wick.

I passed on this movie for years because it just looked like a silly gimmick but it was phenomenal.

I liked sucker punch. It had a little bit of an unconventional storytelling which was a nice break in monotony and the action sequences I thought were good.

Are you familiar with The Biting Elbow and their song "Bad Motherfucker"?

Which was why it made sense for the director to go on to do Nobody (the Bob Odenkirk film).

Fear

A decent early film of Reese Witherspoon. Plus Marky Mark goes 1 on 1 with Gil Grissom.

Has anybody watched Event Horizon? I heard somewhere that that movie was really underrated, but in retrospect it became a classic in its own right.

I am still pissed that the director's cut will never happen because they stored the originals in a fucking Eastern European salt mine or whatever.

One of my favorite movies as a kid. Shame we'll never see the full version of the "Blood Orgy".

Fucked up they did that to all those amputees, and it was all for nothing.

The Thing was shit on so hard when it first came out by critics that John Carpenter is still mad about it.

Dracula 2000. The cast is great in an "all over the place" kinda way (Gerard Butler, Jeri Ryan, Omar Epps and Danny "one day im going to prison" Masterson all in the same movie! ). The plot is silly but damn I unironically enjoy the movie

Star Wars sequels.

Pretty much all the complaints Ive seen about them boil down to: people mad that they arent the books (which is really Lucass fault for doing the prequels instead of continuing the story), people mad that the movies didnt go the way they wanted them to, people with their heads shoved up their asses over politics, and people obsessed with behind the scenes drama.

And then of course add in the factor that most people cant even think for themselves and it becomes a big echo chamber of people who are addicted to hating on things.

Lucky number sleven is a good one. I love Big Trouble in Little China. I don't know if it's considered good or not.
