Mission impossible: rogue nation
Like the rest of the series, this MI doesn't let you down either. Fast paced......Good fun to watch/good sound track (slightly lacking in bass compared to other movies mentioned above)!

Jupiter Acending ...... I loved this movie. Period!, I have no idea about why so much of hate on IMDb for this movie, OK yes I agree the plot is razor thin, but its not crap, by no means, as stated by so many reviews on IMDB, come on its scifi, it will hold something that seems implausible. As if there aren't movies out there that were amazing success but were extremely far fetched ...Do you think "the matrix" plot of the one saving the world and blah blah does not sound clichd ..... damm it was the treatment that made all the difference. Even though Yes JA does not in no way comes even remotely close to matrix, I LOVED the presentation, cinematography, and the CGI!!..... BOY oh BOY, I personally DO NOT like CGI infested action sequences, even if its Star Wars, (where its inevitable to create anything without CGI in todays scenario.) BUT JA, took it to another level, it was pure, exhilarating, mind wrenching space action,....damm the fist action sequence of 5-6 minute alone would be the price of admission for me. It was spectacularly crafted and executed. I guess people were expecting some really serious psychological space thriller. Why was Mad Max:FR a hit, was it some serious study in to cinema art or action for that matter, or a plot that was brain crunching ...NO. It was one bad ass guy kicking some butt to save the women and it was an action/cgi riot all the way. JA is same in space with a mind-blowing alternative universe with its own ecosystem, species and history created ..... in my books this is 7/10

"Our brand is Crisis" with Sandra Bullock is worth watching. It's about how politicians are helped to win elections by hiring professionals. Sandra Bullock excels in this movie and some parts are really hilarious too.

The Accused ....... I saw this movie what i was a kid, teens to be exact, it left me depressed I remember at that time ....
Today I saw it again and I must say its a POWER HOUSE of a movie ........ hits you right between the eyes ...... I am sure I neither had the maturity nor the balls to appreciate this kind of cinema at that time, but it totally blew me off today. To start the movie follows a Rape victim (amazingly portrayed by Jodie Foster) and his attorney trying to prosecute the ones who did and also the ones who solicited it.
Everything about this movie is top notch, the plot, the performances (Jodie will leave you gasping with her performance), the direction, background score (done by legendary Briad Fidel - The Terminator fame) and the emotional quotient. As I said the movie is a power house. The court room drama is so convincing that at no point of time you feel the move pro protagonist. The last 15-20 minutes takes your breath away. You really got to have the guts to see and digest shown on screen (provided you get the uncut version). This one is a rare movie that touches my 8 point scale ........
absolute worth watch ........ not for age < 21 though seriously.....8/10 for this one

Tripple 9 (2016)
Amazing movie..A tight pack drama & action..
A crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist. The only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for "officer down". Their plan is turned upside down when the unsuspecting rookie they set up to die foils the attack, triggering a breakneck, action-packed finale filled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.

London Has Fallen (2016)
Full of action. Better than "Olympus Has Fallen"
Plot:
After the British Prime Minister has passed away under mysterious circumstances, all leaders of the Western world must attend his funeral. But what starts out as the most protected event on earth, turns into a deadly plot to kill the world's most powerful leaders and unleash a terrifying vision of the future. The President of the United States, his formidable secret service head and a British MI-6 agent who trusts no one are the only people that have any hope of stopping it.

Have to agree... both sucked.
I had to sit through Olympus cause the wife likes Gerard Butler... she made me watch a few of his movies in fact. Barring 300, everything has been a downhill ride for him.

^^ I did not like 300 as well, coz of some other reasons though. There are very few good movies of GB, but he did have few good ones like rocknrolla, but you must not miss, if not already seen ... Law Abiding Citizen

The HateFull Eight .... Another of QT's quintessential trademark movie. Loved it. This is a difficult film, most of the people would either hate it or love it. Not much in between. For the people who have not seen it, its not a typical classic western, neither is it an all n all action movie (like maybe kill bill). It is a highly dialogue driven drama, and given his recent outcomes like Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds , I must say now Tarantino is the king of dialogues, he is one of the few today or maybe the only one who can transform a subtle conversation into an as interesting and gripping dialogue between the characters as any conventional thriller. I just loved the way he does that. Hateful Eight is no different, and as I said its a highly dialogue driven movie and with a 3 Hour run time its lengthy, hence nothing happens except character development and that tense dialogues for a long ....really long time in the movie. This might put few viewers off, who do not have the knack for QT's this approach. But I just love it. And with all the tension built up, the finalay just bursts open from all corners .... I would not put this ahead Django Unchained but equally good as Inglourious Basterds. Keeping the all-time classics like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction separate (those movies are legends). Kill Bill series and death proof will fall somewhere in between, with Jackie Brown being the only movie that I did not like at all.
Plot is simple but that is the super talent of QT to make it so interesting that it feel complicated, and the way IMDB describes it, I usually don't like it, but for this one I couldn't have described it better my self ...."In the dead of a Wyoming winter, a bounty hunter and his prisoner find shelter in a cabin currently inhabited by a collection of nefarious characters." and rest you have to fire up your HT and have a go at it ...........7/10 for this one
BTW incase people don't know QT, watch this hilarious piece of scene he did in the movie DESPERADO

Wow Sam... What a great review to read.
This forum really gives me great things to know and read from fellas like you... I feel sorry for being a passive user for quite long!

This forum really gives me great things to know and read from fellas like you... I feel sorry for being a passive user for quite long!Watched Spectre and absolutely loved it. Story may not be spectacular but great cinematography, locales, sound etc. Daniel Craig continues to amaze - he looks like someone who can actually pull off those stunts. Great blu-ray to own in your HT.
Watched "The Man from UNCLE" - what a movie!!! Great acting, comedy, action, entertainment. Never knew Henry Cavill can act this good - didn't like him that much in Superman. Looking forward to the next in the series if they ever make it
