Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
Fun adaptation of the 80s TV show into a modern action movie, replete with large CG explosions. Mr. T, the original Baracus, came out against the film on grounds that it isn't family-friendly in the way the series was -- indeed, there's a lot of killing. But it's not excessive or gratuitous.
The ridiculousness of the action reaches the point of hilarity (e.g., flying a tank), and the running gags -- like Murdock (Sharlto Copely) being a complete lunatic -- are surprisingly good at getting laughs.
All up, this is the best popcorn action-fest in years.
