Just watched this for the first time and honestly loved it, had only played the classic arcade games before. It got pretty bad reviews when it came out but as far as I’m concerned those people can fuck off, what were you expecting here anyway. It’s like Road House in the way that yeah, it’s pretty damn corny and cheesy and some of the acting can be a little exaggerated, but in a good entertaining way. Just a really fun movie to watch. There are much worse ways to spend ~ 2 hrs.

I just watched “Face/Off” for the first time a few days ago and feel like I’ve filled a void in my life that I wasn’t even aware of. If you like a heavy dose of action in your comfort cinema, I highly recommend. Like most movies from the 90s, not everything has aged well but cast aside your modern judgments for a bit and just enjoy Nicolas Cage doing The Most.

Recently re-watched this one at the film archive. Lots of funny moments and zany action sequences, including characters that summon flying swords by playing a musical instrument. A very enjoyable, well-made movie.

Terrible acting, cheesy 80s montages, absolutely 0 plot…but a buff Belgian guy is doing the splits for half the movie.

I don’t believe in ranking things- restaurants, albums, books, movies, athletes anything, top x lists whatever. I think it’s a waste of time honestly. Even with a completely objective criterion what’s the point. Would rather listen to and read people just talk about their favorite things and why they are special and meaningful to them- everyone has their own, interesting reasons. And this is a great place to do that!
