The 4th entry in the Expendables franchise is closer in line with the 2nd and feels a bit incongruous. A lot of the original cast is back (and Curtis Jackson is a solid edition) but the change in the cast goes almost entirely unexplained. The 3rd installme...

I am The Hague! I guess it shouldn't be surprising that this entry into the franchise — the entry with the most demonstrable emotion — ends up being the best of the bunch (so far). Things kick off with a rescue mission to pick up Wesley Snipes (an old ...

Every bit as over the top as the first one (but this time with more self-referential cheese courtesy of the governator). Norris was a fun edition (yes, I watched Walker back in the day — there was nothing else on). I'll also admit to never having seen a ...

Riddles with an equal amount of clichés and bullets, this is an absurdly over the top action flick with an incredible cast. Good? No. Fun? Absolutely.

If you encounter Rambo, leave him alone. If you can't do that and he actually talks to you — maybe, just maybe — listen to him. If you can't do any of that, well, I wish you luck. Taps the sign. This time it's Rambo's take on a popular Liam Neeson fran...

If you encounter Rambo, leave him alone. If you can't do that and he actually talks to you — maybe, just maybe — listen to him. If you can't do any of that, well, I wish you luck. Lots of people irritate or ignore Rambo and things go poorly for most of...

Historical context isn't particularly kind to this one, but it's a fun action movie (with some pacing issues) and Stallone in peak John Rambo form. Stick to stick combat, hand to hand combat, a plethora of guns, helicopter on tank violence and a brief Kurt...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/rambo-first-blood-part-ii-1985 · 18 Aug 2024
A fun action movie, though a pale shadow of the first in the series. Less nuance and — in its place — more violence and jingoism.
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/first-blood-1982 · 18 Aug 2024
An intense, timeless and violent action thriller. Stallone manages to convey some genuine vulnerability towards the film's conclusion and the whole film speaks to the way in which unrelenting cruelty can break anyone. Couldn't they have just left the guy a...
