yeah but again it's not like he makes the movie.. it's the bat shit premise and over the top action people come for.. not me, but people
as a matter of fact, Stallone has historically been very hands on with his productions, from early project development through release. This is covered in depth in Powerhouse
so the praise should be more for his behind the scenes work, not so much his acting prowess
*detraction
I tried watching Cliffhanger a few years ago because I remembered liking it as a kid. It was awful. Let the Neanderthals have it, trag, and we'll enjoy our caviar and NA beers together in the other room.

I'm watching Narc this afternoon. I'm pretty sure I saw this when it came out, but I don't remember anything about it.

Enjoying it so far. I love Ray Liotta.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I just saw Lords of Chaos, and I was surprised by how accurate it seemed. Great acting by Rory Culkin. It did get a fair amount of poor reviews, from both critics and fans.

1. the movie doesn’t take the music seriously enough
2. it’s a borderline comedy with how the actors portray their characters
3. their (or Varg’s) transformation is one dimensional

I do see something true in all three statements above, and I still enjoyed it.

Demolition Man holds up? I haven't seen it in decades, but I have fond memories of it.

I also have fond memories of The Specialist :naughty:

Not likely. But as a kid it was the best.
