Matt Bellamy versus The Raid 2

Yesterday I drove down to the Langley Colossus to see The Raid 2, which may seem like a crazy endeavour, but was totally worth it.

This is easily one of the best action movies I have ever seen! I have a feeling that, years from now, when people are talking about what they believe is the best action flick of all time, The Raid 2 will no doubt be mentioned alongside Die Hard, Predator and Terminator 2.

The first Raid felt like an appetizer compared to the sequel. Confined in a single building, it was 90 minutes of pure ass-kicking adrenaline. This one, however, stretches its legs, heads out into the seedy Jakarta underworld, and wallops you with over two and half hours of broken bones, gun-shot wounds to the face, innumerable stabbings, and mutilations via claw hammer.

If you are not particularly a fan of bloody violence, then you should keep your distance from this beast because it is BRU-TAL! I can honestly say I have never seen a more violent mainstream movie, and I'm shocked it was able to get a theatrical release with the minimal cuts it was given.

Hollywood needs to take note -- this is how you make an action blockbuster. It only took $5 million, and I'd say it looks about a millions times better than any Transformers or Fast and Furious movie out there. It even has a better car chase!

It's too bad people are so narrow minded that they immediately turn away from a subtitled movie. But for those who actually have a brain cell or four, and love action movies, they need to stop what they're doing and watch this immediately. A Good!

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
