It's on the More 4 app (the Channel 4 VOD app) if you can access that in Sweden (at least it was last night, I don't think films stay on there for long).
It was a big hit in our household because my FIL is a Geordie and was in the army.
hehe, I just loved it because it had werewolves. I love werewolf stories like most people love the vampire genre. So when a werewolf story pops up, I'm instantly more interested than my average level of interest for other things. They usually do it terribly, but still, it's a genre I love.
My sister and dad recently marathoned the Matrix trilogy, while I popped in and out for the action sequences. I have to say, while there's plenty of CGI that looks fucking terrible, a lot of it also looks insanely good for the time.
My favorite Werewolf movie. It's Night of the Living Dead meets the Howling. Hell, it's a better live action Resident Evil than all of the "official" RE films.
Ironically, the CG suffers most in the sequels more than the original. Especially if we're talking about Reloaded. The original has the right mix of CG and practical effects. I will give the Matrix Trilogy this, it still has better hand to hand fight scenes than any film that tried to copy Jason Bourne in the 2000s and early-to-mid 2010s. I consider the One to be better than The Matrix in terms of martial arts action in the wake of Matrix clones.
Fire and Ice.
Whichs features a bunch of people wearing horned helmets breaking into a big white house to overthrow a government. But they are flying on on pterodactyl like creatures, so there's that.
Looks like someone saw 1 Million Years BC, decided to do that, but animated and with a more traditionally epic storyline, and have it not be boring. Frank Frazetta was involved, and it shows, lots of men and women in skimpy costumes, weird landscapes and monsters everywhere.
Not a very deep movie, but quite decent.

So I just watched Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone for the first time in my life.
And my god, I haven't seen these old-school cheesy 1980s-Early 90s action movies in AGES and I love it
And then there's its premise that the world essentially beame a far-left utopian dystopia where saying cuss words gives you a fine.

The movie is basically a better Judge Dredd movie than the one with Sylvester Stallone in it. Though the original RoboCop already won that title ironic as, RoboCop was originally supposed to be a Judge Dredd movie. They coukd not get the rights, so they had to make a new character. And then we got the official Dredd movie in 2011. That ended up being a better Dredd and RoboCop movie, than the 2014 remake. My God the RoboCop remakes sucks so hard.

Oh man, about damn time! I love that film! SO chock full of ridiculousness, it basically is THE '80s-'90s sci-fi action film. The whole movie just says "just go with it" from beginning to end, and if you obey, it's a helluva lotta fun.
Birds of Prey
Wasn't very good. It had its moments, but you're much better off just watching the Harley Quinn cartoon series. It has Harley, Joker, Batman, Poison Ivy, Gordon, and cameos from Manbat, Killer Croc, and Riddler in the first episode. This movie awkwardly dances around its limitations, like budget, and the fact that they can't use characters like Batman or the Joker, eventhough a big part is Harley finding herself after being dumped by the Joker. Again, the series does this WAY better.
The action scenes are pretty lame, with only the final car chase standing out and admittedly being really quite good. But the hyena Harley gets doesn't even get put to good use. And if you put a hyena in a comicbook action movie you are going to have to cash that check, not write him out of the movie halfway through without having him do anything cool. It's especially sad because the way the hyena was spliced into the scenes with Margot Robbie, whom I assume wasn't actually there interacting with it, made it feel real.
Ewan McGregor was pretty tepid as the villain. I just felt little to no menace from this guy. Maybe McGregor is just too boyishly charming. Everyone else was pretty good or decent. There were some odd attempts at ad libbing though which came across rather flimsey.
Also, the typical mainstream blockbuster 'blink or you'll miss it' gay/bi inclussion, so as not to offend anyone, but still collect that thumbs up. Just fucking weak.
All around pretty forgettable.

Yeah, apparently they were going to have the pair of hyenas, but it was too expensive so they just did one.
I had to stop to think about that...the cartooney bit at the beginning with the pics of random exes, and there's a redheaded woman for like a second? Redhead cause Poison Ivy is, I guess.
If you're talking about that little animation in the beginning where it shows how all of Harley's relationships did not work out (includes a red headed female at the end), that's nothing new for the character. In the BMTAS, with Harley and Ivy's first episode together, it's implied they have sex. Harley and Ivy always had an implied on and off relationship after that, depending on the continuity.
Batman: The Animated Series / Radar - TV Tropes
Batman: The Animated Series tended to use Censor Decoys, and quite a bit ended up getting through (makes you wonder about the stuff that got cut). On top of that, the show had quite a bit of clout in its heyday and was able to push through some …

See, you blinked and missed it; Montoya's ex is the woman with the glasses at the police station. I think she's lawyer or something.
And I know it's nothing new for Harley (or for Montoya), which makes this movie's attempt at representing it even more weak. Not saying both Harley and Montoya should've spent time hitting on eachother or Black Canary and Huntress - considering the message the movie is trying to convey that'd probably feel a bit out of place - but the way they do it makes it come across as the suits still heavily trying to placate audiences who don't want gayness in their movies. Telling the people who advocate for more diversity 'See, there it is, we listened to your grievances', while telling those who are opposed to or annoyed by it 'It's okay, it was just one second. You can open your eyes now and pretend it neeeever happened'.
Oh, right, that. Yeah, totally slipped my mind.
That's almost certainly what they are doing. Possibly with a lot of patting themselves on the back for being massively progressive.
Oh yeah her. I forgot about her. Yeah Montoya's lawyer ex-girlfriend. I wasn't really bothered by this, and I did not to draw much attention to it. So I don't see it as a big deal. I went with the flow.
