Big Bad 3 brought me back to my roots. Action films and in particular martial arts films. So here’s my top 16 of all time. Tried to keep it varied. One film per franchise. You may not agree and that’s fine. Yes Enter the Dragon is 1 cause it’s my favorite martial arts film ever.
Del Toro was the perfect director for this. Gorgeous, somber, elegant. Isaac is fantastic but it’s Elordi who’s a revelation. Buried beneath makeup and still the beating heart of the film. Sensational performance.
4.5/5

What could’ve been a banger is brought down by bad editing and JLo sucking the energy out of every scene. Brutal Staham/Bernhardt fight is choppily edited to boot.

Fairly generic thriller slightly elevated by a solid Statham performance and two badass fight scenes and a scene stealing turn by Tucci.

Solid action thriller. Solid cast. Kinda cliched but Statham rules as always. He’s a beast and got some great chemistry with his film daughter. Too many characters and a kinda jumbled plot.

Ritchie’s Masterpiece. He dumps his usual quick cuts and tone for a brutal, lean and dark fucking movie. Statham is at his best as the one man revenge army. Eastwood finally shows his skill. Phenomenal mood setting score a the best action Guy’s done. Third act is mesmerizing.

Lindz is the absolute best and she invited me on for another in our now patented Harlin Hive doubles :)
New S&A Episode! Lindsay & @gingerdome81.bsky.social climb the mountain and dive into the deep waters of Renny Harlin. A Double of Cliffhanger & Deep Blue Sea. The explosions are going to be huge!

Better than the last two at least but honestly Johansson and Bailey Dave it with their chemistry. Feels very formulaic and kinda boring in parts. Lots of been there seen this already.

After 57 hrs I have rolled credits on Ghost of Yotei. Thank you SuckerPunchfor crafting a game that somehow surpassed the masterpiece that was Tsushima. A brutal, yet beautiful story and game that now will be one of my favorite of all time. A masterpiece in every way.

One episode in on Witcher S4 and damn I’ve been proven wrong in a good way. Hemsworth slips right into the role, playing a more emotional and yet fierce Geralt. He nailed the fight choreography possibly even better than Cavill did. Best start to a season since S1.

Decent if overstuffed sequel. Smulders is a great addition who handles the action very well but generic bad guys and a scattershot mystery kinda home this one back a bit. Still solid. Shame Cruise didn’t get a third.

We’ve been spoiled by Ritchson yes, but physicality aside Cruise really nails the character.
Solid action, tight script. Honestly underrated.

It's actually Monday! We have @gingerdome81.bsky.social to discuss the historical epic, The Last Samurai.
We deep dive into the action, the casting, the cinematography and it's somewhat forgotten legacy. This was an absolute delight to rewatch and discuss. Get it where all good podcasts live!

My next big “project” for the next 12 months is F7. Replaying the OG FFVII, followed by Crisis Core (Reunion), then FF7R and intergrade before wrapping up/restarting Rebirth. Midgar will be home for quite some time. (In between whatever is hitting game wise)
