Watched
Rambo (1985, George P Cosmatos)
Cannon just copied this film ad infinitum it seems. I cannot call it acting, I call it staring at a fixed point intently. Hilariously violent, homoerotic, hawkish comic book from the director of The Cassandra Crossing.

Sign O'The Times (1987, "Prince")
More or less a concert film ahem. No "Ballad of Dorothy Parker" but they shoehorn the Sheena bloody Easton in in a dream! Ahem. Under A Cherry Moon next methinks.

Easy Money (1983, James Signorelli)
Only watched this to see Jennifer Jason Leigh. Standard Dangerfield schtick here, not as crude as Back To School though...

Sorry if it came across like I was picking on this film I want to do my reviews like this from here on just happened this was the first film I tried it with.

I also liked the review – it could have been far more scathing, as mine would have been!

I too liked the review. I've removed the film from my wishlist since reading it though.

The film is completely soulless and largely bloodless – it's a little like RoboCop 3 in that respect. It doesn't even have the style of the Total Recall remake, so there's nothing to warrant a watch.

Oh its better than RoboCop. At least it doesn't have android bloody ninjas and RoboCop flying.

As for me, Rambo is an excellent film. Good action, solid acting, and a great message.
