Smoking Aces is such a top film. Whenever someone mentions an emotional scene bringing them to tears, for me, it's Mo'Nique blasting that 50 cal.
What film did you watch last night?

I haven't seen it again in many years but deffo one of those films id have to "Build up" to sit through it again, theres soemthing about the off lighting etc that jsut makes it more horrifying. No gloss on it at all, and to have more or less kids for it.
I never really appreciated it on first watching back when it was released but there are some well done emotional scenes in the movie with a subtlety to the depth of emotion that I missed first time around including the ending.
It is a movie I think it due a remake but by someone who actually understands it and can really tease this stuff out especially the dynamic and background between the FBI partners which drives Ryan's character to do what he does in the last half.
Jonah Hill isn't given enough credit imo...he popped up in a film I watched at the weekend called The Beach Bum, didn't realise it was him for some time.
Yeah I agree, the comedy persona has stuck with him, but that dude has some actual acting chops!
Might try “The Beach Bum” soon
Kindergarten Cop -30 years young! Arnold near his peak but the film isn't all that good. 3/5
It is not a tumour!

Beach Bum hasn't got great ratings but it kept me hooked for its 90 minutes runtime, mainly due to Matthew McConaughey's excellent performance. It's a movie that doesn't really go anywhere but is engrossing all the same.
It’s got quite a few big names in it! Surprised it’s flown under my radar!
They had me at Isla Fisher
I love this film!
Watched Commando, it's just Arnies' take against Slys' Rambo. But it's so cheesy and good.
The Beach House. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10843306/
Not bad at all. I think one of the cast was in Dawn of the Dead (might have been the 2004 version).
It kept me watching so I guess it did enough right to make it a decent viewing experience.

No, I wouldn't say so.
That's a shame, been a while since a horror made me squirm via body horror. Honeymoon had a rather uncomfortable scene, last one I remember that left me feeling unnerved.
