  • https://eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/lady-reporter/ I have seen 10 films so far, and I think it's fair to say that for the most part, her earlier films are better. When she returned to the US, I think directors there struggled to figure out what to do…

  • Yes, Madam (1985) A runtime nowhere near 3 hrs? Check. Old skool action done for real? Check, Strong female leads? Check and Check. Impressive, considering this was Michelle Yeoh's first starring role, and Cynthia Rothrock's movie debut. Though …

  • Those are some sweet looking posters, especially the 3rd one.
  • I am ok with the backstreets and the church in Sapienza, though I suppose they could have done a bit more with them. Maybe place a target there, or something. Putting a target in the church, maybe hiding out as a man of the cloth, would make a neat …
  • If there was a message there, then it was too subtle for me to pick up on. ;)

  • I legitimately love Death Wish 3. Bronson and his friend Wildey cleaning up the streets. Death Wish 3 and 4 are my favourites, followed by 1 and 2 then 5.

  • Uh... I think it might have started in MMORPG's. But the first game I played, that had Gear Scores, I think was Origins. I don't remember playing anything before that, that had them.
  • I got as far as Origins, and never finished it. Oh look.... Gear Scores. Something else that needs to go away. I have a copy of Odyssey, but never started it. With Breakpoint, Ubisoft released an update that allowed us to turn GS off, which did alte…

  • I have never heard of him, but I want to cling to some possibility of more classic stories being released.

  • You've got to admit, Mirage is shaping up to be exactly what the AC series desperately needs. Also, I want to say that as someone that appreciates what was attempted with the original AC, even with it's flaws, it puts a smile on my face to hear the…

  • Forced online needs to go away, full stop. It's the only part of Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, that I don't like. Even if I want to play solo, it still MUST be online! Why, that makes no sense. I don't see it changing now though, seeing as how Ubisoft ha…
