Guns for Hire
I found the film enjoyable up until the twists. Then I just didn't care.

Kickboxer. Don't know how I ever managed to miss this one as I love a good old 80's action movie. Like rocky mixed with karate kid on steroids!

Yup great movie. Checkout Bloodsport too
Bit of a Pierce Brosnan Bondathon for me over the weekend.
Tomorrow Never Dies - a more modern baddie for Bond but not much of interest. 3/5
The World is not Enough - convoluted plot about kidnapping, nuclear bits and bobs and a big pipe. Most notable for saying goodbye to Desmond Llewellyn. 3/5
Die Another Day - more action oriented but with too many gadgets and nonsense. It wasn't all bad but it was time to shake it up. Back to basics with Casino Royal. 3/5

I've seen American Made and it was a good (enough) romp, especially if you like that whole Narco's story
American Assassin got much worse reviews iirc

I watched The Accountant. Pretty good fun but also very forgettable. 5/10

The House
By-the-numbers comedy featuring SNL peeps. Perfectly amusing, and good bloopers.
6/10
Rough Night
As above, by-the-numbers, but with enough funny moments to make it worthwhile.
6/10
The Invitation
Single location thriller, fairly predictable, but still delivered in an interesting manner. Nice little twist right at the end.

Classic JCVD films.
Check out Universal Soldier, The Quest & Lionheart (AWOL), I like them because of my youth but not everyone will.
You need shooting for missing the best one
Watched Goldeneye last week and you are right they started well and went downhill!

I loved Goldeneye. The rest? Not so much...

Goldeneye should have been a Dalton film that's why it was good. The rest were tailored to Brosnan.

It's an ok movie. I think it gets a hard time as it's nowhere near as good as alien or aliens.
That and the dumb decisions the characters make
Two Night Stand: Miles Teller (who looks like a giant baby cherub) and Analeigh Tipton (who looks like a cute squirrel) are snowed into his apartment the morning after they have a one-night stand. They've both got issues, but trapped together, they are forced to actually get to know each other over the next day. Nicely acted, it's a slightly more grown up story of two people connecting. The dialogue is snappy and clever, and both actors are immensely watchable, which is a good thing, as most of the film is them talking to each other in the apartment. There's a twist, and an expected (clichéd) ending, but I really liked it.
There's some sex talk and a non-explicit sex scene, so it probably not something to watch with granny, but if you liked "Friends With Benefits", or "No Strings Attached", you'll probably like this.
