Don (2006) Shah Rukh Khan

Same Movie, remade, set in Malaysia, but with some modern effects, stunts, and a Twist I did not see coming.

SPOILER ALERT!!

 

He actually kills his doppelganger and assumes the doppelganger's identity and mission

 

 

Don 2 (2010-2011) Shah Rukh Khan

A sequel to his remake, set in Gernamy, loosely along the lines of mission impossible, action scenes that wouldn't look out of place in a Luc Besson move

One of the best Bollywood films ever. Wasn't impressed with the new remakes with SRK, he tries way too hard to match Amitabh's killer acting.

I agree, and I am very impressed that I've just met someone who thinks the same :D

There are better actors who would make a better 'Don' charcter, but not out act Amitabh.

A good analogy would be to try to out DeNiro, DeNiro, just doesn't happen.

If I haven't already, I would like to add you as a friend :D

Ex Machina (2015)

A young programmer is selected to participate in a breakthrough experiment in artificial intelligence by evaluating the human qualities of a breathtaking female A.I.

 

Solid acting. A lot of talking, not a lot of action. Kind of an Asimovian type story, I guess, about people and robots. 

 

 

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)

A spy organization recruits an unrefined, but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program, just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius.

 

Nothing at all to do with the Secret Service, Kingsman is an international spy organization located in the United Kingdom, and based on King Arthur (their leader) and the Knights of the Round Table (and their number is limited to the number of knights, so... 13?). It's got the English rags to riches thing (NeverEnding Story, Harry Potter, etc.) and it's more than a little like X-Men: First Class, with which it shares a writer. I'd even go so far as to call it a remake.

 

Both 8/10. Solid stuff.

Furious 7

8/10 

Not a bad movie, some of it you could definitely tell was CGi-D/Voice Over for some of Pauls parts. I will definitely watch the next.. though I wish they would do another Tokyo Drift style movie where it's more about racing and less about driving fast to commit crimes.

Son of a Gun - 6.5/10 - It was interesting enough.

Ex Machina - 6/10 - The acting was pretty believable, but the story had holes, and the ending was full of itself.

Jurassic Park - 7/10 - Technically very impressive but the movie is a bit boring.

Chappie - 5/10 - It's a perfectly average movie. There are many great elements bogged down by things that really suck.

Just Before I Go - 3/10 - I, somehow, finished this movie. The feel good ending wasn't warranted.

After seeing this, Dieter Laser could probably give Nicolas Cage a run for his money in terms of batshit craziness. It's definitely for the best that this is the last one in the series; not really worth watching. 3/10

Harry Brown (2009) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289406/

 

Not watched any movies in a while. This kept popping up on Netflix every time I loaded it up so I thought I'd finally give it a go. Reasonably enjoyable but pretty far fetched in many ways. I appreciate there is a criminal underworld in the UK but it seemed a bit excessive! Every villain in the film was a total stereotype of what a criminal should be.. stoned, stupid, mysoginistic.. it was all a bit of a cliche! :) 

 

But Caine was pretty solid, as he always is. I'd probably give it 6/10.
