Adam McKay. Michael Lewis' Big Short was a great read--but a little slimy in lionizing those that made billions on the recession. Adam McKay's Big Short took it a bit farther with big hammy speeches by those same people about bad guys "hurting poor people."Joe Shlabotnik wrote:The movie isn't for us probably.

Over The Top is on Amazon. I remember watching it when I was 9 or 10 and thinking it was bad. You bet your ass I'm watching it.

That used to be a cable TV staple up there with Road House and some others they played endlessly. I've seen bits and pieces a bunch of times but can't remember a single thing about it other than

2 - Streaming free on Amazon Prime. Watch it again. It's so indescribably bad it's awesome. Like, Stallone's character's last name changes between Hawk and Hawks throughout the movie. One dude loses like 5 arm wrestling matches in a double elimination tournament. When Stallone wins it all, it was the other dude's first loss. That's before you even get to the fever dream coked out of your mind plot.

Sicario 2 was pretty good. it didn't carry the tension throughout that the 1st one did, but i had low expectations anyway.
I was pleasantly surprised. It appears they are looking to turn this into a franchise which seems unappealing.
there's a definite WTF moment though that had me having to pick my jaw up off the floor.
