I recently watched Pixels for Adam Sandler. It's a comedy but I'm not sure if you can see that as action, but it had some fun action in it.

I can't figure it out what is it about Adam Sandler that keeps him at the top for so many years. Is he only liked in the USA? I don't think that Europe has any time for him.

Netflix just released its original True Memoirs of an International Assassin starring Kevin James. I gave it 4/5 stars. As a writer, I particularly appreciated his character. It's action packed, full of cheesy humor like the old Gov. Arnold movies, and romance. It's the kind of movie that has something for everyone, especially a smile to leave with.

Any of the Pink Panther movies starring Peter Sellers.

Here's a sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64yianfGvzc

I recently watched Central Intelligence, I thought it was pretty funny with action here and there.

YES!!! I recently binge-watched Pink Panther movies, and I love them! The newer ones with Steve Martin are funny, but no one can top Peter Sellers. Oh my gosh that guy was talented. Off the top of my head, one of the best scenes is when the man runs up to the cab driver, shouts,"Follow that car!", and the cab driver takes off without him! So. Very. Funny. Talk about great writing. My 9 and 12 year old boys love these movies; they are the kind of films that are funny far past the generation in which they were produced.

If you want action then go for die hard and for the comedy genre it has some jokes in it.

Central Intelligence is a newer one! It features Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart. Anything with Dwayne Johnson gets my vote, but this one was pretty good!
