Crowe was definitely a good villain, and I also loved Bale as the everyman type trying to do what he has to for his family. The guy's a great actor, very versatile.<br /><br />If you meant the first <i>Rambo,</i> I saw that ages ago and remember that I enjoyed it (although not enough to watch the sequels) but I don't remember many specifics. If it's the newest one, I haven't seen that. The first one actually had some depth to the story, though, besides just a bare excuse for a lot of blood and killing.<br /><br />AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-40886090234592855082009-08-22T04:43:39.589-05:002009-08-22T04:43:39.589-05:00I like the fact the list is an eclectic mix.

Normally I like him pretty well.<br /><br />BernardL, in the movie Rambo was using a 50 cal machine gun at times with armor piercing so I could believe the damage that gun was doing.

It was made around 97. Interesting for sure.<br /><br /> Cullen Gallagher, really? More Rambo movies? Hum, well it should be definitely interesting given the ending of this one. I liked too that it wasn’t overly long, which was a problem with There Will be Blood.<br /><br /> Travis Erwin, I’m rather glad I don’t know for sure from experience.<br /><br /> Travis, I go on tears, like this one. I might go 4 or 5 months without watching hardly anything, then dedicate a whole day or two to it.<br /><br /> Michelle, I liked him OK in Last of the Mohicans. But I’m not a fan of his by any means, although I thought he did a good job acting in this one. I certainly didn’t like his character.<br /><br /> Steve Malley, apparently pretty good. Most of these are older films too, but ones I never saw earlier in their runs.<br /><br /> G said..., It may be. I didn’t look it up. But I do wonder how in the world that bus ended up in the wild like that. Most of the modern westerns I’ve seen I haven’t liked all that much either.<br /><br /> laughingwolf, nor would I have if they hadn’t been free.<br /><br /> pattinase, I definitely did not like Lewis’s character, although I thought he did a decent job potraying him. The movie sucked badly, though, as you say.<br /><br /> ivan, that could be. I didn’t think sniper rifles typically used such big calibers, though. In some cases in the movies they were using AK 47s for this, too. But I’m just grateful I’ve never seen it in reality.<br /><br /><br /> Paul R. McNamee, I’ve never seen the original of 3:10. Interesting that some of the dialogue was virtually identical. I will have to watch the old version sometime. Yeah, there were some questions raised by all that. I’m curious myself.<br /><br />Benjibopper, Sigourney was quite a “witch” in that one. I liked her a lot.<br /><br /><br /> Rick, I just recently saw the latest installment in the Rocky series. Not too bad, although the fight scene wasn’t nearly as good as in Rocky 1 through 3.<br /><br />Candy, I don’t very often either. But it fell at the right time Saturday and was free!Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-66043216323450725862009-08-16T23:01:25.625-05:002009-08-16T23:01:25.625-05:003:10 to Yuma - Didn't Elmore "Dutch"...3:10 to Yuma - Didn't Elmore "Dutch" Leonard write this back when he was doing westerns?<br /><br />Into the Wild - I loved the book and the movie doesn't disappoint.<br /><br />There Will Be Blood - I couldn't agree more.
