Have you seen any movie with Wesley Snipes? The main trio of Harrelson, Snipes and Perez are terrific. I think U.S. Marshals is the only movie I've seen with Snipes. He has a handful of movies I think you would enjoy and U.S. Marshals is one of his more phoned in performances. Major League is another fun sports comedy that he is in. You should really watch Blade (1998). |

I agree, but I think a movie with an good original screenplay deserves to be recognized more. It is the directing and performances that elevate Gladiator to a great movie, not the writing. I agree with that last part about Gladiator. Amistad is based on a true story though.I know. |

Any interest in the others, The Disaster Artist? Blackboard Jungle? Yeah I have interest in both of those. I'd like to see The Room before I watch Disaster Artist. I've only seen clips of it. |

I know you're not a fan, but I've always enjoyed U.S. Marshals. It's been years since I last saw it though. I've seen it more times than The Fugitive. |

I actually rate the first half of the movie 8/10 but I wasn't huge on some of the developments in the second half and I wish the very ending had done some things differently. The scene with the fight is fantastic though and I love how it evokes the Roman Coliseum. |

Hello,
Blackboard Jungle - keen to see
The Wages of Fear 7
Mine:
Good Time 8 really liked the first part of the film, and the film overall as well
Shot Caller 7
The Other Side of Hope 8 really feels like this film wasn't done today; has a sort of 1960s French film feel
: )

Brawl in Cell Block 99 wouldn't have worked quite as well for me without the OTT violence. The point was to make it as frightening and disturbing as possible to show how horrifying violence is.
That is just how I saw it.

I enjoy it for what it is...a trashy action B-movie. Mel Gibson is terrific in it and is easily MVP. |

I wish it was rated-R but I like the excessive characters. I love watching all these awesome actors just doing their thing and Gibson is the best villain of the franchise imo and it has the best action scenes of the franchise. These movies have always been about the cast and action anyway and the 3rd is just the most fun for me. |
