Thanks for the share, and what a great week of film you had. Such an exlcective mix across genres and decades…something like “Commando” really captures that era for muscular, aggressive films…it reminds me of one of Arnold’s last films of this type: “Eraser”. It hit all the required elements for the genre but it played like something trying to keep the past alive…every decade has those films which are fun to see but feel “of their time” as well a bit.
