6 Days! ... I thought this was good but it's been criticised by some of the SAS troopers who were on the raid.
I was 15 when this happened and I remember it like it was yesterday.

If you don't nitpick... It's a fitting tribute to the event and well worth the time.

Rusty Firmin was portrayed by Jamie Bell and Rusty acted as an adviser on the film.

Knives Out. Very old school whodunnit mystery story. I liked it.

We also saw Knives Out. No action movie and not much for CGI, but a very good story. We liked it a lot. It was a good change from the continuous action and violence that's normal now days - although I like that too.

Saw this on Netflix the other day, pretty good. Movie Gook, during the LA Riots.

Shooter. 2007 Mark Wahlberg movie. Sort of a Rambo thing so if you liked Rambo you would like this. Not sure why I watched it. Boredom I guess.

Wow no separate God Father Thread?
 
Watching the God Father, again after about 10 years, wow!

Such good acting, writing, and possibly all true.

Wife doesn’t get it other than a guys movie...

I think it hits the familia gene..it’s the inner mans want to protect his family. Plus, the the Subtle terms are both a beautiful eloquence of English, and threats.

Or is it just me?

I liked this movie. It had a lot going for it.

The 22 shooting scene at the boat house was interesting & if you had the skills realistic.

I did like when he shot the Dinty Moore can from some crazy distance. I just have different expectations from movies. than most . I cant even define it.

The Irishman. 3 1/2 hours. If it was half that I would have said, a really good movie. Just too long.

The novel generated huge interest in the movie (and vice versa). The vague inferences that Sinatra was involved with the mob had been circulating for many years. What's not to like about a chopped off horse's head, the kiss of death, the murders (particularly Sonny and Luca Brasi) and the overall calculated brutality of the mob?

The soft photography or cinematography or whatever it's called was in complete contrast to the harshness of big time gangster life. It had a huge impact on making the players appear to have some humanity.

Not just you.

Watched "Us" over the weekend--terrible movie. Absolute waste of time--not scary, funny, or much of anything.

sc_rufctr 01-27-2020 05:34 AM

I re-watched "Lost in Translation" tonight.

Still excellent and a great watch with your significant other. ;)

Took the kids to see Rise of Skywalker over the weekend. Since it was Disney and JJ Abrams we didn't expect much but were pleasantly surprised. Was certainly the best of the Disney movies.

I saw this earlier today... Not terrible but not great either.
The action/flying/bombing scenes were spectacular, the best I've ever seen but the script was just awful.

Why can't they make a decent historically accurate war movie?

It is worth seeing for the war scenes alone but don't expect too much of the rest.

Deadpool and Deadpool 2. Twisted parody superhero movies. Absurd comedy. NOT for kids. Not sure why but I liked them. I did laugh a lot.

How kid friendly is it? I have a 10 year old that is HUGE into WWII history, especially the Pacific theater and the people. From Ernest Evans to Chester Nimitz.
