I finally watched The A-Team movie. I've been putting it off for a while. I grew up with George Peppard, Mr. T, and the rest as the A Team and didn't want to see the reboot. Rampage Jackson was a pretty good B.A. and that South African guy was a really good Murdock. It was a bit corny, but less so than the shows.

Last few films I saw were:

Unfriended.  Jeeping fuck it was bad, I genuinely think it might be the 2nd worst film I've seen.  I mean what kind of movie can't even do jump-scares properly?  They're the easiest, cheapest and laziest thing in the world; that's why so many bad horror films rely on them so much rather than going for tension, suspense and atmosphere because those things are hard and require both talent and giving a shit.   How can anyone you fail so hard at jump-scares?

Jurassic Park.  Rewatched this when I brother got me the blu-ray boxset for Christmas.  Damn I'd forgotten how good this film is, which is weird considering it was my favorite film when I was 8.  There's a surprising amount of tension and suspense (something all the other JP films lack): so much so in fact that it's almost bordering on horror movie territory, albeit a PG horror movie with no gore.  Hell, I've seen actual horror movies with a lot less tension and atmosphere than this film.

Hateful Eight.  I liked this way more than I was expecting.  I was afraid a 3 hour long film set mostly in one room would be kind of boring but nope, interesting characters and performances make the film feel half its length.  Plus it's got plenty of Tarantino style humour and dialogue.  If you don't like Tarintino's work this isn't going to change your mind but if you do then go see it, you'll like it.

Pain & Gain.  Not as bad as I was expecting, not even close, but it's still not exactly good.  Has Michael Bay ever heard of the word "tone"?  Coz, like all his films, this movie's tone is all over the sodding place - so much so that I'm not even sure what sort of movie Bay was going for here.  Also, has Bay ever met a real person?  PEOPLE DON'T TALK OR BEHAVE LIKE THAT is something you'll be shouting at the screen a number of times during this "true" story that's supposed to be about real people who actually exist, especially when it comes to the 2 characters who are meant to be medical professionals.  And of course we have Bay's trade mark juvenile humor (though it's not on show quite as heavily as some of his other films) and a bit of misogyny, racism and homophobia here and there (but again it's less on the nose than it is some other Bay movies).

Edit: forgot to mention there are scenes that feel like they were edited but they forgot to take out surrounding stuff that leaves the scene confusing.  Like when Mark Wahlberg's character is trying to get another to be a notary on transferring the kidnapping victims assets to him but he won't do it and Wahlberg says, "What the fuck is a notary anyway?!" and the guy replies by holding up a picture and saying, "Do you see this girl here, the black one, remember her?  I fucked her."  and the scene ends.  What?!!  Did I just black out and miss 5 minutes of the movie??  Did the actors turn two pages of the script at once and they just went with it??

The Nasty Girl. It's such a good movie; everyone should watch it. I loved the over-stylized staging in particular.

The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. Not bad, not as good as the original. The blatant sequel hook at the end was annoying.

Also seen 47 Ronin (sucks), The Thing (doesn't suck) and Escape from L.A. (sucks only a little bit) recently

Deadpool. My gods, I haven't laughed that hard in a loooong time.

Yes. Very good. Not great, but very good.

Ohhh, yes. Plenty of violence, a scene with nudity or three (male and female, though at different times), and every last bit of the swearing.

Just went to see an indie love story that really should be up for best Oscar but won't because there's a black lady in it.

Ironbite-it's called Deadpool.
