The last movie I watched in 2019 was... "Range 15", a zombie-comedy that was written by and for US military veterans. Initially backed by two apparel companies (Ranger Up and Article 15 Clothing) started and run by ex-military guys, they raised enough money through Indiegogo in a week to get the movie done, the fourth biggest campaign in 2015 Story: five military buddies find out that a zombie apocalypse started while they were in the drunk tank. Now they have to get the cure to Range 15 before it really gets out of hand. A huge part of the movie is about how Hollywood portrays the military, and these guys wanted to show just how they behaved in a more realistic way. And that way is that they are hilarious dicks to each other. It feels like their sense of humour comes from the idea of "HAHA you're taking this seriously!", and I think I understand that because of what these guys have REALLY gone through while serving. Except for some of the name actors who were paid to be here, everyone in this has served, and some of them are genuine Medal Of Honor recipients, and some of them are missing limbs because of injuries received on the battlefield... and as tasteless as the humour can be, I laughed all the way through. As for stars... Shatner is in the first three minutes and just gone, Keith David ("They Live", "The Thing") has a bigger part as a general who provides the story's info dump, Ron Jeremy shows up because the Indiegogo campaign paid for him (really, that's all he says and then leaves). However, if you know anything about military life (and frankly, I do not), you will see a ton of heroes. Even Marcus Luttrell (the SEAL who the movie "Lone Survivor" is about) is here. Randy Couture and Tim Kennedy, MMA fighters with military histories, face off on a "zombie vs. naked soldier" fight that's hilarious. It reminded me of the Friedberg/Seltzer movies, except instead of groaning at each joke, I laughed. OK, the movie opens in jail, and one of the main characters has a blow-up sex doll superglued to his crotch, and it's there pretty much until the end of the movie. It's stupid, it's funny, it's offensive, I can't recommend it enough.

I watched Taken 4 aka Rambo: Last Blood......what a crock
I’m not a die hard Rambo fan by any means. Seem them all though.. Probably would say Rambo was my favourite film out of the series but this was just boring as heck.
