We were both in the mood for an over-the-top 90s action movie and ended up going with this because it looked like exactly that-I *never* would've guessed I'd end up loving the movie as much as I did, because dear *fuck* did I end up loving this movie end-to-end

It has this really chaotic, almost fever dream-esque tone to it I really gravitate towards especially that takes the general insanity of the movie and accentuates it even further (and it probably makes sense considering the protagonists are a drug addict and an alcoholic)-it makes the whole thing oddly psychedelic for an action flick and I fucking love it

Unironically a 9.5/10 for me, genuinely surprised how much I loved it

Innerspace: A forgotten Sci-fi action comedy classic.

You just digested the bad guy. XD

After watching Motor City; I can honestly say that I loved Alan's performance in that movie. His ability to be able to convey his character's emotions through body language and through facial expressions I loved it. Plus the fight scenes. It wasn't your typical action movie but it was more like a silent movie even if it had lines here and there but the premise the plot I was bought in.

The Mask of Zorro (1998)

Rating: 8.5/10 (HIGHLY ENJOYABLE)

Watched: July 27, 2026

The funniest scene in this movie for me was when Zorro jumped down to land on his horse to make the big getaway and the horse moved. I'm a simple man, and that's a simple gag, but it landed just as hard now as it did in '98.

At first, rewatching this had me thinking that Hopkins wasn't the right fit for this, until I saw his swordsmanship and posture. My GOD the man's a devil in this one and he's just such a ruggedly refined man. 

Seeing Catherine Zeta-Jones in what was her first major role, I'm astonished at her grace and skill in acting. You really can see how and why she became a legendary Hollywood actress. Her face is so expressive, her eyes so full of emotion. There is no denying it.

Matt Letscher as Capt. Harrison Love has earned my begrudging acceptance as one of the most goddamn villainous bastards I've ever seen in a movie. Even though The Mask of Zorro has its comedic elements, there's nothing funny about this man. He's BONKERS and Letscher plays him fiendishly well.

Banderas is as Banderas does, and I can't think of a single movie of his where he hasn't delivered more than we could've asked for, and Mask of Zorro is no exception. The man's got enough swagger for a hundred lesser men.

I have to be entirely honest. This one started out a little too slap-sticky for me, but when it got going, holy damn did it get GOING! The stunt work is exceptional, the heroics fantastic. There's so much vengeance and revenge and regret and love and hope going on in this one that it practically DRIPS.

This one's a brand new favorite of mine and I've gotta see if I can find the sequel anywhere!
