Hollywood made a good film? Which one? When?
If you are up for the best action flick ever the russians deliver (though its in english) with Hardcore Henry. Not suitable for kids its nonstop and the soviet stunt people are just insane, the film is practical effects all the way its just astonishing how they got it done. Shame about the plot really but this is a movie to watch for constant mindless violence if you can stomach the opening credits. And its one for anyone interested in practical effects, its like a good magic show trying to figure out how its done. Riding a motorbike through a van full of baddies without CG will have you thinking for weeks.
If you want creepy horror, The Autopsy Of Jane Doe was a damn good break from the silly stereotypes, though the ending veers in that direction.
Good story though and some of the non-action sequences will give you the creeps.
Good shark movie, The Shallows. Thats all since Jaws, though the Sharknado series can be fun especially if you're a movie buff.
As for a good movie, The Man From Earth, is one of the best ever. A pure example of a good story told well. No need for big budget names, no special effects, just a mesmerising story sold very well by good actors. Possibly the best movie I've ever seen and something this forum would enjoy. No sex, no violence, no CG, might be a little swearing but damn it'll make you think. Don't look for plot summaries, just give it a chance and watch it with no preconceived notions.
