    AA> As I was watching Hostile (the first one above), I kept wondering when   
    AA> is the porn-like stuff going to kick in (because you mentioned

   I'm so sorry, but I'm laughing my ass off over what you just said.  I can't   
   imagine what you were verbalizing as you were watching that shit.   
      
    AA> It turns out that Hostile was not entirely bad at all. The special   
    AA> effects of the "creature" were amazing, although I thought that the CGI

    AA> the CGI can't accomplish now.   
    AA>    
      
   Hmm .. maybe I'll watch it.  I'm not a big zombie fan.   
      
    AA> Now.. Hostel (the torture porn film..) I'll pass.   
    AA>    
      
   Probably a good idea, the movie SAW, paled in comparison to Hostel.  They   
   took the movie too far.  I haven't seen any of the others that have been   
   released.  If they could top the first, I wouldn't want to.  Scarface was an   
   excellent example of shocking people without actually showing someone getting   
   cut up by a chainsaw.  Whenever our society turned to demanding more realismn   
   in violance is beyond me.  I was content with the likes of Scarface, the   
   Shining, and the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre, level of "shock."   
      
    AA> I'm having too much fun watching Burn Notice. I'd like to live in that   
    AA> world a little while longer during this pathetic covid19 time.   
    AA>    
      
   Hmmm ... I love spy shows and novels, a better one (but similar) is on the   
   tip of my fingers but can't recall this AM.  I'll try to provide some   
   recommendations.  I only buy blu-rays of spy, military, historical, and super   
   hero flicks -- oh and the occasional remake of a retro show like the A-Team,   
   etc... just because I can.
