Another thing about XMDP. When Jessica Chastain was explaining the Phoenix force, was anybody else waiting for Ricardo Monteban to come in and ask for all the data on...Genesis?

There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
Mission: Impossible 3. Man...the colour saturation is so high on this movie. Every colour just pops off this screen. I love the look of this movie.

Killing Them Softly a low key crime thriller set during the 2008 economic collapse. Solid movie...good performances, interesting script. Three and half stars.
Europa Report- A sci fi thriller. Nothing new in terms of ideas, but I liked it.
I was very curious as to how they were going to end it. I liked it, too.
Most recent: Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. Man, did I have to explain way too much to my parents. Can people recommend some simple action movies? I'm talking Commando or Man on Fire simple. Basically what I'm looking for:
-lots of action
-if it has blood or gore, it's probably ok
-made after 1999
-must not have any nudity or sex
-if it's a lot of hand-to-hand martial arts/kung fu style...my parents will love it.
My parents can handle a ton of violence, but they hate nudity or sex. My dad hates science-fiction or fantasy, so it rules out Lord of the Rings or Pirates of the Caribbean. All the Mission: Impossible movies are way too complicated and I find myself explaining it, so I didn't even bother with the Bourne movies.
So I'm looking for movies like:
Ip Man (they've seen it)
Ong Bak (he wasn't as enamoured with it as I thought he would be)
I think most of the Die Hards would be ok
I'm thinking of showing him John Wick next. I'll see.

Eraser is actually a great suggestion. I love True Lies, but my parents would have an issue with the striptease scene that JLC does. There's a really hot sex scene in Desperado and Selma Hayek is oozing sexiness the entire movie, so that's a no. I've never actually scene Tears of the Sun, so I might consider that.
Not to get too off topic, but I watched: The Man From Nowhere. Love that movie. Watched it once and recommended it to a friend. He loves that movie. I ended up getting the Blu-ray for both Man From Nowhere and No Tears For The Dead.

I had a big problem with that scene even back in the day. The "nudity" didn't bother me, it was Arnold's plan...If it had worked, did he really think that she'd be happy to see him or would she more likely been angry that he humiliated her in front of his co-workers when he interrogated her about their marriage and then again making her do the strip in front of what she thought was a foreign agent? The movie makes it seem like it was ok cuz we know it's her husband but she doesn't. Had the plan worked and I was Jaime, I would have divorced him.
Anyway...
The John Wick movies are probably a good bet.
If they haven't seen The Matrix movies, they'll probably like the hand to hand stuff.
The Equalizer, I haven't seen the sequel yet.
They might like Jason Statham movies
If they haven't seen The Expendables 1 and 2 not great films, but they might have fun with them
Are your parents willing to watch Hong Kong movies? If so, there's a ton of movies that might be up their alley...
Wow, your parents seem to be a tough crowd
Homefront with Jason Statham comes to mind
Surely it's just embarrassing to watch explicit stuff with your parents or your siblings. I always assumed my parents disapproved, I didn't know for certain. But I felt terrible when those scenes would come on--it was excruciatingly uncomfortable. Likewise with my siblings. I used to go to the Vancouver Film Festival every year, as did one of my sisters, and we would often be watching the same films together, but there were a few movies that I saw with her where something happened and I just wanted to crawl under a rock.
