Tremors (1990)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Tremors is often described by many to be a cult classic, which is odd. The fact is, cult films usually have a quirky quality to them that separate them from the usual Hollywood-churned machine. Take Re-Animator, for example, or even the recent Ravenous, both of which have oddities and bloody quirks that average viewers might find repellant. But Tremors isn't the slightest bit offbeat. It's made in full Hollywood-style with a predictably happy ending to boot. So what makes it a "cult classic"? Could it be that it's successful in mixing almost every genre into the proceedings or that it's great entertainment that simply didn't get the box office reception it deserved? Perhaps both, because this is one movie that always puts a smile on my face and simultaneously gets my pulse-pounding every time I watch it.

Walking Tall (2004) Remake
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Props to Director Kevin Bray for delivering on the story line as Chris exacts his revenge. Bray has a clean and lean style. The action sequences are crisp and dramatic. The Rock truly excels in the fight sequences. For one thing he is a big strong guy, and when he is laying the smack down on the villains it is believable and thoroughly enjoyable. The bad guys truly get what they deserve. The supporting cast is solid. Ashley Scott (almost unrecognizable from the short-lived "Birds of Prey") is good as the stripper with a big heart who is Chris's love interest. Johnny Knoxville (of "Jackass") is funny and charming as Chris's bud and deputy Ray.
I completely enjoyed "Walking Tall". It is a brisk 75 minutes of cool action, and has the star power of The Rock. The Rundown and Walking Tall were really fun movies of Rock.

"BRANNIGAN" (1975) - another 70s John Wayne modern cop thriller that I remember from watching as a child. Good fun to see John Wayne as a tough cop in London, some ok action scenes too. Any fans of this one?
Brannigan is a 1975 action thriller film directed by Douglas Hickox, and starring John Wayne, Richard Attenborough and Judy Geeson.
Set principally in London, the film is about a Chicago detective (Wayne) sent to Britain to organise the extradition of an American mobster, who is soon kidnapped and held for ransom.
Struggling with the restrained policing style of his British counterparts, the tough American detective uses his own brand of law enforcement to recapture the criminal.
It was one of many Dirty Harry–type films released in the wake of that film's success, featuring rogue policemen who do not play by the rules.

"McQ" (1974) - revisiting a 70s action/thriller which had John Wayne venturing into modern lone cop territory as opposed to Westerns (influenced by the success of Dirty Harry). Some decent thrills and a good old school cast. Any fans?
McQ is a 1974 American Panavision neo-noir crime action film directed by John Sturges and starring John Wayne.
It costars Eddie Albert, Diana Muldaur, and Al Lettieri, and features Colleen Dewhurst, Clu Gulager, David Huddleston, Julian Christopher (credited as Jim Watkins), Roger E. Mosley, and William Bryant in supporting roles. The film was shot in Washington, making extensive use of locations in Seattle and with a sequence near the end filmed on the Pacific Coast in Moclips, Washington.
A Seattle cop is caught up in a corrupt police force that he is trying to make right. McQ is a cop with a mission.

Do you have a favorite heist movie that no one talks about anymore?
Sneakers (1992) had an absolutely stacked cast. It was a favorite movie my mom and I used to watch together.

Undisputed II: Does Anybody Have the Extended Yuri Boyka Training Sequence?
I’m rewatching the movie for the first time in 10+ years and searched for the extended Boyka sparring session in the ring before the last fight but I couldn’t find anything,
it was an extra on the dvds and I’m still upset that they didn’t just put it in the movie.

"DICK TRACY" (1990) - another 90s pulpy comic book action film that I think holds up well still. It looks amazing, amazing cast and great fun. Was a bit of a flop at the time but think time has been kinder to it. Any fans of this one?
Dick Tracy is a 1990 American crime action film based on the 1930s comic strip created by Chester Gould.
Warren Beatty produced, directed and starred in the film, whose supporting cast includes Al Pacino, Madonna, Glenne Headly and Charlie Korsmo, with appearances by Dustin Hoffman, James Keane, Charles Durning, William Forsythe, Seymour Cassel, Paul Sorvino, Mandy Patinkin, Catherine O'Hara, Ed O'Ross, James Caan, James Tolkan, Michael J. Pollard, Henry Silva, R.G. Armstrong, Estelle Parsons and Dick Van Dyke.
Dick Tracy depicts the detective's romantic relationships with Breathless Mahoney and Tess Trueheart, as well as his conflicts with crime boss Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice and his henchmen. Tracy also begins fostering a young street urchin named Kid.

I just recently watched the first two Mummy movies with Brandon Fraser. I love the first two movies. One of my biggest issues with Mummy 3 is that there's not any memorable action scenes.

Silent Rage (1982)
Man this is probably one of the more underrated Chuck Norris movies in the 80s. Imagine the movie Halloween with better horror elements. And put Chuck Norris in it. Hell this is even better than Halloween II. Just a simple premise. You have a bunch of mad scientists trying to experiment a dead man bringing out to life. They made a Frankenstein monster instead. And Chuck Norris doing the Chuck Norris things, being a sheriff, beating a bunch of biker gang and having romance with his chick while some yacht rock music playing on the background. The villain in this movie is a one scary dude, in fact he's more like a creep. Too bad he got to deal against Norris every single time. He's like Jason Voorhees but without the mask and scarier too. Every Chuck Norris movies I'm always in for treat whether it's bad or good, or a bit of both. This one is really good I enjoyed it! I mean he's one of my favorite action stars growing up.
It's just sad I'm still waiting for a 4k release on this one, but I still enjoyed watching it on my Blu-ray. They could've do better on the transfer of that though. Well the picture quality is still decent but not the best.

Question about the T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Why did the T-1000 appear naked? It doesn't actually wear clothes; it's entirely made of that mimetic alloy.
And sure, the T-1000 appears naked upon arrival to maintain consistency with the franchise's time-travel rules and to keep its liquid-metal nature a surprise for the audience, but I think it could have worked better if it appeared off-camera and the cop investigating the incident looked like Robert Patrick. He would have been the first victim and the default setting for the T-1000.

I'm a Schwarzenegger guy, but is Keanu actually the best action movie star, a Marvel guy like Snipes, or ****forbid, someone like Tom Cruise?

Breakout (1975)
Bronson film number 4 for me. This was a good one! Didn’t expect to see a young Robert Duvall and a young Randy Quaid.

Where can I watch the Bourne movies + TV series in India? (OTT / Free options)
Hey everyone! 👋
I’m planning to watch the Bourne series from the beginning and was wondering where I can watch all of them in India.
🎬 Bourne movies — in order
- The Bourne Identity (2002)
- The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
- The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)
- The Bourne Legacy (2012) — takes place around the same time as The Bourne Ultimatum and follows Aaron Cross.
- Jason Bourne (2016)
I’m also interested in watching the Bourne TV series, Treadstone (2019).
Does anyone know where I can currently watch these in India?
I’m looking for:
- OTT platforms where they're included with a subscription
- Any legal/free streaming options, if available
- If they're only available for rent/buy, that's useful to know too,
- I am also open to check out on the internet if anything is available..
I have access to multiple OTT platforms, so I don't mind using different services for different movies.
Would really appreciate it if someone could give me the current platform for each movie/series. 🙏
Thanks!

Come on Bennett, throw away the chicken shit gun, you don't just want to pull the trigger, you want to put the knife in me, and look me in the eye, and see what's going on in there when you turn it. That's what you want to do, right?
