John Wick - OK I suppose but strikes me as being insanely overrated.

I like a one man killing machine movie as much as anyone but when a film takes itself this seriously but still relies on the trope of hundreds of the enemy patiently waiting their turn to engage him so as to ensure he's never outnumbered then it gets pretty tedious.

Based on a true story...

Instant forum ban.

It's a poor man's Death Wish 3.

The Collector.

It's ok as a bit of a generic gore film. It's akin to Saw, or Hostel, so if that's your jam...

Dredd

I cannot believe how much I enjoyed that film.

Good, innit? Rumours of a sequel.

Just saw Causeway. Decent character study film (of two characters) shot in New Orleans. 7/10

Scars of Dracula (1970)
They've truly stopped caring about finding creative ways to resurrect Dracula at this point. Pretty funny, really. Gotta say though, this for sure was one of the better films in the series. Christopher Lee is more involved than in any other film so far. Draculas flunky (Patrick Troughton) was pretty good, and by god Hammer really knew how to cast some stunning girls in their movies. Both Jenny Hanley here and Linda Hayden in the previous one were incredible to look at. 7/10

For those who enjoyed Dredd.

Check out "The Raid". Indonesian film, great action flick.

Black Panther Wakanda Forever.

Was just as dull as the first film really, which is a shame as I love the Marvel films

Dredd deffo based on The Raid.

I think Dredd just pips it for me, for the sheer quality of the whole film and for the perfect casting of Dredd and Anderson.

Mrs BR and I watched Twelve Years a Slave last night (recorded). Gut wrenching, powerful, brilliant acting, and sickening indictment of what mankind is capable of.

Well deserving of the three Oscars and two BAFTAs that it won. It won a total of 145 awards worldwide.

I rewatched Whiplash last night.

Still a fantastic movie.

Sigh...

There’s so much more to Dredd as a film, than The Raid.

Both are fantastic films, but the Dredd film is a near perfect translation, of Dredd from the 2000AD comic, onto film.

I‘m genuinely surprised that it didn’t produce a franchise, as there’s so much material there.

Both The Raid + The Raid 2 are superior simply for having epic fight scenes + fantastic shots + weird indonesian bad guys + being set in Jakarta as a foreign language film and on extremely low budgets.

Dredd may be similar to the comic but its not ground breaking.

Incidentally Jakarta is so much fun...
