Revenge. No special insight, just the way I saw it.

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (DVD 1966) Don Knotts and the fetching Joan Staley
Cute, silly ghost story, kid friendly. Imagine Barney Fife as a wannabe small town reporter investigating a haunted house. He drives an Edsel.
If you like the Andy Griffith Show, this is right up your alley.

That was Don Knotts character in nearly every movie he made: The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, The Incredible Mr. Limpet, the Reluctant Astronaut, the Shakiest Gun in the West and then later in The Apple Dumpling Gang, the Prize Fighter and No Deposit, No Return.
The one movie where he took on a different role was his first film, No Time for Sargeants (also co-starring Andy Griffith). In "No Time for Sargeants" he played the "straight" character to Andy's comedic role.
If you are a fan of Andy Griffith and Don Knotts I highly recommend "No Time For Sargeants". Griffith plays a country bumpkin who gets drafted in the Air Force. The rub of the movie is that the hayseed may or may not be smarter than he looks.

That predates the AGS, doesn't it?
RE: The movie thread - Smaug - 02-02-2015 07:46 PM
BTW, I googled Joan Staley and found this:

PS, There's a reason I linked the picture instead of posting it. Apparently she was a Playmate of the Month in 1958.
Luther Heggs clearly outkicked his coverage.

Even if you're not a fan of DK/AG... the saluting latrine scene makes this movie TOTALLY worth it.
But AG basically admitted that the reason he and DK agreed to work together on the TV show was because of No Time for Sergeants. He even said they had a chemistry that was why Don Knotts was the only person he WANTED to work with for the Andy Griffith Show.

Avengers Assemble (2013) / NetFlix
--Almost as good as the other Avengers cartoon I had watched a while back. Only thing that irks me about it is they seem too focused on Falcon and they dropped Ant Man and Wasp so far... The villain mix has been heavily Captain America related for the most part.

Didn't realize the "Falcon" got dropped till later on.

One of the best movies I've ever seen, both because of the acting and the heartbreaking true story.
Truly a tale that deserved to be told.
saw it the other night. one of the few films the lady and i can agree on. benedict cumberbatch still strikes me as a douche, but he's a helluva actor. with a film like this, to find faults is merely nitpicking. great watch. this coming out at the same time as the theory of everything reminds me of (maybe in aught '10) when an education, a serious man, and a single man all came out. all awesome movies

I, Frankenstein / NF
--Not bad in terms of story...but the movie felt like it was missing something... not sure what... I felt the older Van Helsing had a little more "heart" into it. The Gargoyle angle and the ascending/descending of demons and angels made for interesting additions.
Sabotge/NF
--Probably one of the best post Governator Schwarzenegger movies. Interesting tale of a DEA team that gets punked out on a job and then has to answer for what happened, only to be reformed to go after who is taking down their team. They play an interesting angle for Arnold on the love story side of things with the civilian cop who is looking into the murders of his team.
Shooter/NF
--Cool Wahlberg movie about a super sniper who retires after a bad mission only to be drawn back in with folks playing to his patriotic sensibilities. The pretty unique way in which the story evolves about the "who done it" angle makes it a pretty good flick. Wahlbert shows off his survival skills and what not.
Hulk and the Agents of SMASH/ NF
--Not bad with some origin stories tied in to ABomb, She Hulk, Skaar, and Red Hulk. Once I got into the "webisode" episode set up and the Seth Green (Abomb) humor I got more into the series.

John Wick- DVD Rental- Ok if you're looking for a deep plot and constant twist and turns.. Don't watch this. If you want a story that goes from A to B with some awesome action, this is it. I enjoyed the movie, I mean don't look for Oscar worthy acting, but again I enjoyed it.
The Judge- PPV- We got a free PPV from Dish and this is what we chose, and we made a good choice. Robert Duval as always delivers. Robert Downey, Jr plays one of his best roles I've seen in awhile (I mean the first Iron Man was awesome and then he lost something IMHO). However, to me he gave a hell of a performance. The story is good. The dynamics between Downey and Duval and throwing in Billy Bob Thorton playing an attorney hell bent on a conviction along with Vincent D'Onofrio playing Downey's brother. It was just hard to beat. I hit the record button and will be watching it again.

50 shades of gray/theater
--w/o spoilers it was like 8mm + basic instinct in a weird kind of s&m way. I found the "relationship" ties both ways interesting.
RE: The movie thread - CliftonAve - 02-14-2015 06:40 PM
I saw Kingsman: Secret Service and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great action scenes and clever dialogue. Sort of a hybrid of a James Bond flick and Kick-Ass.

I have been watching a lot of obscure movies for my Film Studies class. I am willing to share my opinions if anyone is interested.

How close is it to say another spoof in Johnny English?

It's not close to a spoof at all. Like we said, Bond and Kick Ass combined.

John Wick is a very good action flick.
