  1. I think the first heels I ever rooted for were the Lane/Eaton MZ just because their double teams were so slick and fun,it was hard not to root for them! James
  2. What's the word on the new Hayabusa who debuted against Masato Tanaka? All I heard is that Ezaki's family gave their blessing James
  3. Even better, 2 fat guys with good punches and both use a BIG Splash as a finisher James
  4. Dude, Helen Mirren killed it on 1923 as well!! Then again, she is Helen Mirren and could play me in "The James Harris Story" and somehow makes my life compelling TV! James
  5. It might just be the WORST movie with Jeff Fahey ever made and that is saying something! James
  6. Eazy Rider: The Ride Back - Just... just don't watch this movie. If you're on plane with a pressurized cabin, and they show this piece of shit, do yourself and the other passengers a favor. Pop the hatch and decompress the cabin and pray the place crashes. No one should watch this James
  7. Rewatching select episodes of The Mandalorian with Sandra Violet. She has developed an intense dislike of Paz Viszla for some reason. However, like her Daddy, she cheers when The Armorer kicks ass in "The Pirate". I'd be all for an anthology series, like "Tales of Mandalore" with every episode being framed by The Armorer telling stories to foundlings. James
  8. Is it wrong that I think that is a decent selling point? I honestly didn't know that was the hook for the movie when I watched it and ended up enjoying despite it (though, man, you can shave 10-15 minutes off that run time) James
  9. I remember American Crime! I remember a group of us digging the first season but the way they went all Brazil in the final epusodemade more than one of go "Why?" It had string performances from all involved James
  10. No matter how many times I watch Annie Hall, the one kid saying "I'm into leather" slays me. It still blows my mind Walken passed on Star Wars to do 5 minutes in Annie Hall. James
  11. So is DEAN~! 2 An Electric Boogallo or DEAN~! Harder? James
  12. If there are physical DVDs to be sold the synopsis on the back needs to be in classic DVDVR! Speak! James
  13. I always get Eddie The Eagle and Spider Sabich mixed-up. Then I remembered Edie isn't the one that allegedly was shot and killed by Claudine Longet. Of course when I think of Claudine Longet I think of the one early SNL skit... James
  14. New Life - Sweet Jesus On A Cheez-it! This was pretty darn engrossing, as tale of one woman trying to track down another on the run but the readin why isn't evident at the outset of the film. When it's revealed exactly as to why Elsa is after Jessica, then the chase takes on a different form. I really liked this. Solid performances, an interesting story and a twist in the middle that kind of swaps the dynamic of who you side with. Is it a great movie? No but it is a kind of engrossing watch as things unfold. Hell, it kept my attention and that's more than half battle right there! James
  15. As I said before, I love Silverado and pretty much the reasons why are what you put forth. The story is cookie cutter storytelling but it makes up for that with amazing visuals and fun acting and of course, incredible score! Kts just a perfect, old school Western made in the 80s. James
  16. Always the Ralph Macchio one. The Britney one I've never seen. I recall her cover of "I love Rock'n'Roll" and declaring it her favorite Pat Benetar song in an interview! James
  17. Sinners - I'm not the biggest horror guy and when you mix action and horror I tend roll my eyes. I did not roll my eyes at this. I knew very little about this movie going in. I just thought it was a period piece with Michael B. Jordan. It is so much more than that and I'm so very glad for that! Im not going to do a synopsis, just go see this and have a good old time at the movies. It's like Near Dark and Crossroads kinda had some creepy, ultra talented child! James
  18. I remember Mando and Hector Guerrero doing that as faces during their late 80s AWA run James
  19. The Long Fall - Hey, Walter Mosley writing a mystery set in somewhat contemporary times (2008) and set in NYC instead of Los Angeles. Still, Mosley always brings a certain vibe to his Mystery/Thriller novels and while this ain't Easy Rawlins and Mouse, Leonid McGill is just as interesting as PI. I appreciate writer's who have at least researched NYC enough to write about it competently and Mosley captures the feel of Manhattan. I'm only 60 pages in so it is basically getting to know Leonid. His work life, his home life and his routines. Mosley is shaping this character as if he were clay that he's molding with each chapter. Carving away excess bits before we can getvtobthe meat of the story, which will be the mystery. Im really digging it so far. James
  20. Or Doom and the Red Skull, any book where're one of the main guys is a literal Nazi, Doom is your "Protagonist". We arent even going to touch issues featuring Hate-Monger James
  21. NJPW needs a young guy to not just an Ace, he needs to be truly New Japan! He needs to be be the cornerstone of NJ-gundan. He's not Bullet Club, LIJ or any other faction. He needs to bring back true TOUKON and make the crowd feel it! James
  22. McConaughy's closing argument is 5 minutes of some his finest acting. It's his "To be or not to be" in my opinion. James
  23. A Time To Kill - There are movies that have great moments, more than one, with some really strong performances but there's just something about the movie that prevents it from clicking for you or me to come out of it saying "Man that was great!" I mean we got Sam Jackson, acting no less and just being Sam Jackson, delivering the memorable line that everyone knows. You got Matthew McConaughy, young McConaughy at that, in one of his early "I have arrived" movies. Then you got Sandra Bullick, being the post-Speed Sandra Bullick we kinda crushed on. Hell, even Charles S. Dutton delivering a pretty great performance as the sheriff and Keifer Sutherland in his scuzziest role since The Lost Boys. On the acting front, everything is fucking rock solid! Is it the script? No, the script is fine. Hell, McConaughy's closing argument is riveting and his "Imagine she's white" sends chills down my spine. So why do I come away from this just shrugging my shoulders? Another thing, this might be one of the sweatiest movies since To Kill A Mockingbird. I'm a nice Jewish boy from NYC and I grew up with some uncomfortable summers. This movie makes me want to not even fly over the American South and I don't mean southern Florida! Everyone in this movie is glistening with perspiration... except Patrick Mcgoohan, who I imagine looked at the guy applying his make-up and dryly said "No, I do not think I will consent to that. I'm British you see, we don't sweat like you Americans". So in the end, what is this movie? I guess the word is competent. It is one of those competently made movies with a great cast, memorable moments and lots of sweat. It is one of those perfect movies that comes on a Sunday afternoon on TNT, when there is no football and you sure as fuck don't want to watch golf (or some form of auto racing). You don't have a hangover but you sure as hell feel the effects of the previous nights libations. You just eat what leftovers you got in the fridge, lie down on the sofa and watch A Time To Kill for 3 and a half hours (because it's TNT and they know drama means they milk the hell out of runtime) and call it an afternoon. James
  24. I mean, in a season that features both "The Savage Curtain" and "Spock's Brain", "Spectre of the Gun" is the 2nd best Wyatt Earp production to feature Deforrest Kelly James
  25. So I rewatched Wyatt Earp last night with my buddy Ramsey. Now I quite enjoy the movie quite a bit, it's just Tombstone has such great performances that it overshadows Kevin Costner trying to bring back the American Western again Ramsey was less forgiving. "Jesus Christ! That Star Trek episode where Kirk, McCoy, Spock and Scotty had to fight the Earps was better interpretation of the OK Corral than this!" Mind you, Ramsey defends Star Trek V vehemently so I don't know if I take his side here. James
