Hacksaw Ridge – 2016 Gibson

Continues Mel’s meditation on violence (and beautiful photography- this film handsome to look at)- Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto.  Andrew Garfield's character is religious, and the scenes in the second half on Hacksaw can be seen as hell on earth and have a biblical/religious connotation as well Continues Mel’s meditation on violence (and beautiful photography- this film handsome to look at)- Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto.  I wasn’t as high on Garfield (who I think is a very good actor) as many critics and didn’t see him as a top five

Aliens – 1986 Cameron

Both this and it’s predecessor from Ridley Scott are sci-fi films (and I’m not big into genre definitions and discussions) but it’s also easier to think of alien (1979) as more of a horror film and aliens (1986) here from Cameron as an action or even a war film It’s extremely funny- mainly due to Bill Paxton who as I said before is superb here. Although Cameron regular Michael Biehn is good as “Hicks”, Paxton is the second most important actor to this film after Weaver Certainly I see some similarities with Rambo and some of the other action
