The Black Stallion is on TCM right now. Great movie! I remember Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert's review of it on At The Movies when it first came out.

As always on TCM....commercial free!

Birds of prey, Harley Quinn. If you liked Suicide Squad you will probably like this continuation story of the Margot Robbie character.

The alien/species has an intimidating tally-wacker!

Interesting. I thought Suicide Squad was entertaining, and Harley Quinn was the centerpiece for sure, but I haven't heard anything good about Birds of Prey. Yours in the first comment I've heard that seemed positive.

It will not win any awards but it is entertaining. I did not have high expectations.

Go ahead and laugh, but SHO is currently running 'It's a Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood'

I watched it to see what all the hoopla was about at Oscar time regarding Hank's portrayal of Fred Rogers. Holy crap, he nailed it - channeled the sweaterman to a 'T'.
I don't see how he lost the Oscar.

Also, anything with Chris Cooper is a plus - ...one of my favorites.. and he's just a versatile as Robert Duvall.

Finally watched "Knives Out" on Netflix. One of the better movies I've seen in awhile.

The 3 part miniseries "Grant" on the History Channel is excellent

The Fly. havnt seen it since i was a teenager. I dont remember it being so gross

sammyg2 07-08-2020 02:40 PM

Saw the re-make of Midway.
It wasn't a waste of time but I think I prefer the original. All except for the actors who played Charlton Heston's kid and his Japanese girlfriend. Musta run out of actor money by the time they cast those two.

Like Charles says, turrible turrible.

Perhaps a nice egg and onion sandwich would help get you into the spirit of things....:p

There's a lot of things to appreciate about "Harvey" - the performances of the actors alone are noteworthy.

But what I really appreciate about the movie is the way it mocks our society. That we do discriminate against people just because they are different. In this case, Elwood P. Dowd, in every capacity, is one of the nicest, most gracious, and considerate persons you'd ever meet. Yet...just because of his belief in Harvey, there are those who would put him away in a sanitarium.

I've always been a huge Jimmy Stewart fan too - and I've read that this actually was his fav. movie.

Some of the things his character in the movie says actually resemble social commentary than anything else.

Elwood P. Dowd: "Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."

^^^ That movie was ahead of its time Baz. A true classic.

Meanwhile... This is a brilliant movie. It tells the story of The Battle of COP Keating - October 3rd, 2009.
