1966 Come Drink With Me 8/10

Flying Five Finger Thursday on El Rey Network.Classic martial arts with Pei Pei Chen as Female Hero.

I'm going to check this out. If you can recommend some other good kung fu flicks on El Rey or Amazon Prime I'd be grateful.

Yeah'.If at all possible and you don't mind subtitles try to find these in the original release w/subs.Shaw Brothers did a lot for Chinese Cinema coming to the US in the late 60's early 70's.So they did Dub versions of most of their films.But remember the Dub versions 70% of the time make the films slightly cornier.Funny how I recognize the Dub voices of certain actors in the SB films.I grew up in San Francisco and there were a couple of Chinese Theaters I would frequent for original versions.
Here are a few and honestly there are hundreds more of them.Many of the greats had 2 or 3 sequels.
1966 Come Drink With Me (all time classic)
1972 The 14 Amazons (excellent)
1976 Executioners from Shaolin
1978 Five Deadly Venoms
1978 The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (one of the all time greats)
1979 The Crane Fighter
1982 Legendary Weapons of China (aka:LWO Kung Fu)
1982 Shaolin Prince
1983 Holy Flame of the Martial World (one of my all time fav's for zany special effects wizards and great fighting sequences)
1993 Iron Monkey(very good)

a couple of later films that are also VG with HQ picture and sound
2011 Legendary Amazons
2011 Shaolin
2013 The Fox Lover (more of a fantasy)

These are all period pieces.Not even touching on the 70's flood of Chinese Kung Fu Cinema.So have fun.

Central Intelligence (2016) 6/10

Funny in spurts, but it's definitely not bust a gut funny. The action is pretty weak and it has a very predictable plot as well.
 
Ghostbusters (2016) - 5/10 - visually it was a nice flick otherwise; it was pretty average nothing special that stood out (don't think it deserved hate)
 
DOG EAT DOG. NICK CAGE , William Dafoe is off the flippin rails as a maddog excon in this with Nick Cage after getting out of prison. Give a 7.

The whole truth. Keanu Reeves as a defense lawyer defending a father/son murder case. Give a 5.
 
Pee Wee's Big Adventure 8/10 I freakin love this movie. I hadn't watched it in forever and it had me laughing out loud.
 
The Arrival - 9/10

What an amazing, beautiful and powerful film. Really did not expect what this movie had to deliver, so glad I avoided spoilers.

Unlike so many others, this is a movie that will really stay with you.

Loved it's message.
