"Sharknado 2: The Second One" (2014) in the sequel to SyFy's surprise hit, heroic Fin and April are visiting New York City when history repeats itself and more cheap & cheesy hilarity ensues. Bigger, louder and even goofier than the original, riddled with in jokes and celebrity cameos. My 11 year old and 7 year old sons officially dubbed it "AWWWWESOME!" and better than the original.

I watched most of it...... extremely cheesy - I guess they need to up the cheesiness for 3 (which has already been green-lit)

^^ Oh yeah, cheez was definitely the name of the game... haha

As I've said before around here, I'm just not that into gore and I certainly don't care for "found footage" movies. However, I've enjoyed both of these.

"The Hangover Part III" (2013) In the third go-round the "Wolf Pack" is charged with taking man-child "Alan" to a rehab clinic, but get sidetracked by a gangster who forces them to track down their old associate, "Mr. Chow." Mayhem, naturally ensues.
Still has some laughs but is nowhere close to the first two "Hangovers," there was no need to go to the well a third time.

I though there was no need for the second one.... much less the third - those movies got progressively worse! The first one was funny.....

But you are correct - there are some laughs in it

I thought the 2nd one was fun, mainly cuz of Chow -- that guy kills me. "We had SICK night, b*tches!"
Unsurprisingly, he has all the best moments in "III" too. (Parachuting over Las Vegas: " I believe I can fly! I LOVE COCAIIIIIINE!" )

Yep - he was the best part of II and III

Guardians of the Galaxy - great flick, lots of fun!!! Plus a post-credits scene that Fat Freddy would love:

I thought the same exact thing too !   

Went and saw this with me mum:



The previews are a little deceiving

Spoiler:

but was still a very enjoyable movie. I really like The Rock much more as an actor than a wrestler (always thought his routine was annoying and too juvenile-course I was always a Stone Cold fan anyway).

BTW, The Rock really upped the steroids for this film. He has always been a muscular guy, but in this movie his body was more Scott Steiner than it had been in the past.

Whenever he sees it, he'll have a "fan boy" moment!

LOL!

"Copperhead" (2008) an old West town is invaded by swarms of poisonous snakes in this cheesy cowboy/creature mash up that manages to combine all the cliche's inherent to both genres. Yup it's a SyFy movie.

21 Jump Street

Did I ever love this movie.  And by the time

Spoiler:

I was going nuts.  Just a fun movie that I didn't want to end.  And to think I was leery due to the love I had of the TV show.

The Karate Kid

Can't believe it has been thirty years since I first saw it.  Still holds up.

I think I need to take a hiatus from SyFy's Z-movies for awhile after this past week's shark-movie marathons leading up to "Sharknado 2"... after both Sharknados, several Mega Sharks, and a bunch of random Ghost, Dino, Swamp, and Two Headed Sharks (plus a Sharktopus!), I feel like a kid who ate ice cream until he puked...haha

Over the weekend, I watched:
The Gauntlet
Fast Times at Ridgemont High

"Speed 2: Cruise Control" (1997) Sandra Bullock is back on board, but Keanu Reeves is nowhere to be found - he wisely decided not to sign on for this box office bomb, which has come to define the term "unnecessary sequel." Bullock's "Annie" and her hunky new L.A.P.D. boyfriend (the wooden Jason Patric) are on a Caribbean cruise when the ship is taken over by a supervillain computer genius (Willem Dafoe, in fine scenery-chewing form) who steals a collection of priceless diamonds and then locks the boat on a course straight into the rocks. Will Annie and her new man save the day? Well, duh.

"Speed 2" gets a lotta hate but I actually kind of enjoy this one. I know, there was no reason whatsoever for this film to be made other than $$$, but in and of itself "Speed 2" is a decent - if empty headed - popcorn action pic and it also captured Bullock at her absolute peak of mid 1990s' hottie perfection, so I find it entertaining enough...

"Mama" (2013) two little girls are returned to civilization after spending five years on their own in the woods. Unfortunately for their new adoptive family, a vengeful spirit who had been protecting the girls during their time in the forest isn't willing to let them go. Cool, creepy stuff with an unexpected emotional punch. My wife actually had tears in her eyes at the end.

I saw this last week. Sure, it was cartoonish, but entertaining enough.

I also watched Sabotage with Arnold Schwarzenegger last week. That one wasn't very good, in my opinion.
