Inglourious Basterds.
Lovely detail and brilliant acting in a stupendously slow and lame film.
Kept sticking with it and ultimately felt it wasn't worth it.
Liked hearing The Green Leaves of Summer from the Alamo movie at the start though.
4/10.

Roadhouse.
Never seen the whole of this so thought it was time. Big hair, mullets, and Swayze doing a Chuck Norris/Van Damme sort of thing.
6/10.

Under Siege.

An action hero classic from the Shakespearean renaissance. A wonderful performance from Steven Seagal, who manfully struts about talking in a husky voice and making half veiled threats to bad guys while eyeing them up in a squinty eyed manner - it's positively Julius Caesar on the water!

Tomm Lee Jones plays the part of Cassius, the villain of the piece, but get's his eventual cumuppence at the hands of Seagal's Brutus.

And Gary Busey is just a twot.

"Et tu Brute?" "Only I cook for the captain, so you must die. Ha!"

5/10. It's ok if you like the genre, but Die Hard at sea is a bit of a cliche even by then.

Malone (1987)

Burt Reynolds has quit his job and is driving round the country when car trouble keeps him in a small town.

He stumbles upon a dispute where a land baron is forcibly buying up everything in town, with the help of bent congressmen.

Que Burt going into action to help his new friends.

Now there's one twist in the plot that you'd never guess, Burt is ex special forces - where's that sarcasm smilie when you need it.

Quite entertaining, 6/10.

And Erika Eleniak jumping out of a cake :eek:

Cobra.

Eighties Stallone hard man classic. Utter crap. Being smacked in the teeth with a bottle of Cobra, or bitten on the scrotum by a Cobra would be more interesting.

1/10. Of interest to action hero historians only.
