Why did he quit? Ya, those were a couple of good westerns and that 3rd movie wasn't so bad either (unsettling scene where Lance Henriksen's character was stripped when he got gunned down).

A quick look and I found this on the web:

What ever happened to Emilio Estevez?

"These days, his work is confined to behind the lens of the camera as he develops his writing and directorial chops. Unlike his brother Charlie, who made a huge career comeback with his role on the TV show Two and a Half Men, Emilio chose to stay away from television and has continued to write and direct."

Watched Wick 4 last night at home of course.
I may be in the minority, but this franchise ran it's course with 2.
I mean so now he's wearing a "bullet proof suit that also protects him from being hit by or knocked into various vehicles"? Along with falling from 3 stories, and still being able to conduct martial arts?
I mean it's gotten Fantasy level instead of Action level.
And now Chapter 5 is already greenlit. So is he supposed to rise from the dead too?

I'm with you... How many times does it take to go up a flight of stairs and trying to meet a deadline? Beyond the point of ridiculous...

Don't even get me started on the stairs scene.

This is what they're saying about John Wick 4.

Unbelievable is right, and explains why so many ppl can be influenced by media.

Influencer is a pretty good thriller.

flybigjet · 05-31-2023, 10:34 PM

I watched "A League of Their Own" last night with my In-Laws.

Great movie that has aged very well.

Sharper, another good film.

Me either.

I think the franchise is messed up beyond repair though.

You cant have classic Indy, then do a film with Aliens, then try to do it back like the originals.

Fast and Furious cannot be about street racing anymore, you cannot go back from Space.

RobotDoctor · 06-02-2023, 09:19 AM

Do these look familiar?

Donut Lord · 06-03-2023, 10:46 PM

I watched a movie called Tusk.

Omg, nothing has F'd up my mind more since the TV series Leftovers than this movie.

I saw the trailer too a long time ago. Was trying to think of what horror movie series you're referring to. Off the top of my head nothing comes to mind.

Assuming you mean this?

Yeah, kinda gross.

tranquility · 06-04-2023, 05:41 PM

Haha, you guys. Ya, Tusk was sad and Human Centipede isn't really bad...if you're the head

It was like a more watchable Human Centipede.

flybigjet · 06-04-2023, 11:41 PM

Two older movies to recommend, as I went through the movie collection when my In-Laws were here:

"A League of their Own"-- Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, et. al. A comedy about women's baseball in the '40's when many of the ball players ended up in Europe fighting during WWII. It's a hoot-- one of Tom Hanks better offerings.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104694/

"Men of Honor"-- Robert De Nero, Cuba Gooding Jr., et. al. A "based on a true story" movie about Carl Brashear-- the first black Navy Diver, as well as the first to get reinstated in the Navy after a horrific accident. Yes, you can see it coming from a hundred miles away, but still an enjoyable movie.
