Caught The Foreigner today.  I dug it a lot.  Finally a non-Comedic base Jackie Chan that was actually good.  I liked how Chan pulled off some good dramatic stuff as well as his martial arts fare.  I thought it was also a cool twist so to speak that he could do Spec Ops tactics like making home made bombs, booby traps, and camouflage/infiltration.  I also really liked Brosnan playing bad ass Irishman from the IRA side of things but having to play the political game now.   The only flaw I would go to in the movie is it seemed like it had too many plot twists but they weren't overbearing and were more of a motivational plat out of the course of animosity.  I was kind of surprised that given Chan's discussion with the police chief that he didn't go after that guy as hard as he went after Brosnan's character.

Spiderman Homecoming / BR

I liked it but what helped it was Keaton as The Vulture and the kid playing Spiderman. They did a good spin on the high school version of Peter Parker.

Friday the 13th I-VIII / dvd

Freddy vs. Jason / br

Halloween I - IV / dvd

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow / dvd

Batman and Two Face / BR
--that new animated Batman done from the 60s tv show aesthetic. Loved how they did the characters and the plot, and the overall ode to the classic tv show. Probably one of my favorite animated Batman movies.

I saw The Foreigner as well. I really liked it. It was kind of a throwback to the days when action/suspense movies weren't just about the special effects. This one actually had a story, some plot turns, twists in the story, etc. Being so used to seeing Jackie Chan as the Comic-Kung Fu star I was interested to see if he could do a drama/suspense movie. I'd say he pulled it off. You really seemed to feel his pain not only from the loss of his daughter but the lack of action in bringing down those responsible. Brosnan was equally good as the "baddie" who was having the moral dilemma of trying to walk the fine line between two worlds.

Overall, I'd highly recommend people check this movie out.
