Watched *The Menu* last night, still thinking about it. May watch it again tonight. Discussion

If you haven’t seen it, skip the trailer. Doesn’t totally ruin it, but allow me to whet your appetite. (I did not intent that sort of pun, leaving it.) I only knew something would turn out “wrong”. And that is all you need to know.

One Battle After Another thoughts Discussion

by

Just watched it. Dunno even know why I even had radarr set up to get it. At first I thought it was some cringey fantasy. Then I realised it was in some kind of alternative reality that was so close to reality that it gave the uncanny valley effect. Then it just went off the rails, lol. Very unusually and entertaining movie, IMO.

Accident Man: Hitman’s Holiday is damn good, but it’s not the same beast as the original Accident Man Discussion

by
Movie poster for Accident Man: Hitman’s Holiday. At the center is Scott Adkins with a serious expression, dressed in a leather jacket and holding up his fist. Behind him are supporting characters including Ray Stevenson with a shotgun and cinder block, a woman wielding chains, a clown with blue hair carrying a bat, and several other colorful fighters. The backdrop features a bright gradient of pink, orange, and yellow with silhouetted palm trees and comic book–style lines. Bold yellow text reads “Accident Man” with the tagline “Hitman’s Holiday – A Vacation to Die For.”

Accident Man (2018)—or as I like to call it, British John Wick—actually turns out to be a riot Discussion

by
Poster for the film Accident Man. The title is displayed in large yellow block letters at the top, with actor names Scott Adkins, Ray Stevenson, and Michael Jai White above it. The central focus is a close-up of Scott Adkins’ face looking determined to the right. Surrounding him are various characters in dramatic poses: a muscular man holding an axe, a man aiming a gun, another with fists raised, a gothic-looking woman in black lace, and a blonde woman in leather holding a katana across her face. The background is a mix of bright neon splashes in purple, green, and blue. At the bottom right corner, the tagline reads: “Taking ’em out one mishap at a time.”
