What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

As good as Fred and Kevin are in that film, Michael Gross is the true 'secret weapon' that makes that film just...sing. It's hard to believe that it's the dad from 'Family Ties' just tearin' it up. GREAT fun.

I haven't watched that in yeeeeeeears...time for a re-watch, methinks.

Tremors.

The best of the Jaws ripoffs by a mile. Ron Underwood nails the pace and tone of this sucker beautifully. So much fun from start to finish.

My favourite bit: Michael Gross unloading half his arsenal on one of the graboids and defiantly shouting, "Broke into the wrong goddamn rec room, didn't ya you bastard!"

Tremors wins on Kevin Bacon/Fred Ward combo alone.

EDIT:regardless of what the fool above me said.

Loved Tremors, mostly for Michael Gross and Reba McEntire, too. And leave us not forget the mighty Victor Wong - "GRABOIDS!"

Ew... Reba McEntire. *shudders*

Add fake tits that are way too big, and you have my second wife.

Still, though... a Southern accent makes me wet.

hey now, I'm not dissin' the Bacon/Ward duo in any way, shape, or form. Without them, the film wouldn't work at all. They're fantastic and great fun to watch. Gross, though...If Bacon/Ward are the Trans Am, Gross is the spoiler and the sidepipes that make you go FUCKIN' A!!!!

And this is why I come back here. PERFECT

Was watching Se7en last night and caught this song playing in the diner when they are waiting to meet the bureau guy to give him the book titles.

This right here. Fuck Ward. Fuck Bacon. Gross is the MVP. BURT MOTHERFUCKING GUMMER FOR THE WIN.

MELVIN, y'all.

MELVIN.

Broke into the wrong God damn rec room, didn't ya you bastard!

[Bobby Bear]

Firmly in the shrugging camp on Hot Rod. Even with the Fisher Factor, I just don't see the appeal.

I'm firmly in the 'love it' camp. It takes maybe 15 minutes to get going, but once Rod is getting high, power dancing in the clearing in the forest and then takes that incredible fall, I was sold and the whole thing only improves on repeat viewings.

To those that have only seen it once, please do yourself favour and give it another go. There are so many gags in it that you can forgive the ones that miss, cos there's another winner coming along any second. Besides, McShane, McBride, Taccone and Hader are the supporting players. They're all too good to consistently fail.

Last night gave me only my second viewing of Executive Decision in 15 years. I was lukewarm on it when it first came out, but maybe because summer action films have become so ball-less, I fucking had a blast with it last night.

There are some nicely tense setups in it, Kurt Russell is on form, there's a surprising (by today's standards) amount of blood flying around when bullets are unleashed and I reckon when you look at all the late-90s Die Hard ripoffs, this has got to be right near - if not at - the top. The supporting cast is awesome (how has Oliver Platt never outstayed his welcome playing these roles?), the plot's goofy yet tight enough that it works, the effects and villain trump Air Force One easily, Jerry Goldsmith delivers a nice, bombastic score and all in all I'd say its more entertaining than Under Siege or maybe even Die Hard 2. Great fun. What the fuck happened to Stuart Baird? Give that guy a Punisher film to do, or some shit.

ETA: Wait, he directed US Marshals and Star Trek: Nemesis - fuck that guy. Stick to the editing, Stuart. Seriously, his editing credits are insane.
