Bit of a Staham kick this past couple weeks.
Crank, Safe, Lock Stock, Redemption, Blitz, Parker.
Cheesy but one of my favorite action actors.
Also the Lone Dove series: Duvall, Tommy Lee, Glover. Really good.
No Country for Old Men: great movie, will have to watch it again to see what I missed the first time around.

Haven't seen any of those.. but I saw The End Is Near the other night, and I haven't laughed that much at a movie in a long time.

Snatch is indeed awesome (in more ways than one)
Haven't seen the Bank Job yet.
Transporter was awesome and is one of my favorite Statham movies. The sequel was too over the top for me.
Italian Job was excellent.

Will check those out, thanks for the suggestions.
Just started watching the Archer series.
Very crude and dumb, but hilarious.

So much alike, first time I watched Jen 8 I thought... hmm, who does this guy sound like and I thought it was the same actor.
They sound so much alike and look very similar.

I liked Lone Survivor and Frozen from the newer movies. Will have to check out RED 2, I liked the first one.
From TV series I'm enjoying Scandal, The Newsroom and waiting for Justified to finish off so I can watch it all at once.
The worst new TV series is IMHO The Agents of SHIELD and the best one would be The Blacklist.
Also hoping The Following S02 is going to be entertaining.
Anyone seen TMI City of Bones ? Thinking about getting it but it got mixed reviews.

Redford and Duvall, haven't seen this in 25 years.
Long movie, but enjoying every minute.

Always liked this movie.
Harrison Ford, James Earl Jones, Willem Dafoe

Was watching this today, never seen it before.
Missed the beginning and didn't finish so I'll try watching it again sometime... seems pretty good so far.

Another one didn't finish... pretty good. Russell Crowe... damn good actor.

It's a really good movie but not an action thriller.
The beginning is crucial. Miss that and the ending won't make much sense

Cowboys and Alines...not too shabby.
Not great but definitely worth watching. I figure anything with Harrison Ford is worth watching at least once.
Decent CGI with the aliens, and a good amount of plot suspense.

Mississippi Burning.
Great movie
Sad, but great acting.
Love seeing a "young" Dafoe and Hackman

The wife and I went to see Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit last night in the theatre (had some free passes). Not too impressed. The girl who played his wife was an awful actress.

Saw Monuments Men last night. It was ok but i thought it would be much better considering some of the the actors that were in it, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman.

Just started Papillon.
Seen it before, but been a few years. Good movie, hard to hold a candle to the book (highly recommended).

pretty good show about Lance Armstrong and the whole cheating deal he was involved with.
near the end where he tries to discredit Greg Lemond was just too much for me as Lemond was my cycling idol back in the day when i used to ride.
man i really detest Armstrong so much more now

Just watched Stand By Me. GREAT flick if you haven't watched it (and even better if you have but haven't watched it in awhile).
