Not the best scene, but love the stunt rider's skills.

Jut finished an old British flick: "the cruel sea".

Remarkable.

Once you get used to a different pace and the B&W these films are really powerful.


An old favorite. Interestingly Apple TV has a Tom Hanks movie calls Greyhound, told from a similar perspective although mostly that of a US destroyer at the command of a Brit/American convoy escort. Great ocean effects and ASW.

Just went through a couple of great Peckinpah titles, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid and The Wild Bunch. The former probably my favorite by Peckinpah.

Spoiler alert. Probably the best career scene by Slim Pickens, w/ famous Mexican-American actress Katy Jurado.

I watched "All quiet on the Western Front" on Netflix. Well I liked the character of Katczynski this was well played.
The rest is too millenial for me I don't know why possibly subjective impression.

The thousand yard stare is missing here...squeaking like teen girls doesn't convey war horror to me.
 
There are some recent war movies on Netflix or not that have let me down a bit, too. 1917, Dunkirk weren’t bad, but too much in your face CGI and not enough acting… thing of these times?

All quiet on the Western front was good, to Netflix standards, I take it for what’s it’s worth. Dunno if designated to a younger audience… most Netflix users are older millennials, young Gen X too.
 
Arcane.
I’ve been hearing lots of good things about the show, but was skeptical about the whole premise - game based animation didn’t sound like my cup of tea. Finally gave it a try and was blown away by the shear quality - the writing, the artwork, the action… everything is simply superb. Ended up binging the whole first season in two days.

I´m worried I´ll be dissapointed.
 
Incredible but True / Incroyable mais Vrai.

French film, obviously, so it might be a no-go for many as French movies tend to come with a rather stereotypical baggage.

To some extent, that movie does not escape that rule. There can be a lot of subtexts, themes and optics French movies enjoy getting themselves in.

Anyway, here is the trailer:

The movie does not make its intentions clear right from the start and which is, in fact, pretty misleading misleading.

But perhaps, like me, you'll find it to be a good approach on the concept of "backrooms" and its effects.

I wouldn't say I liked the movie, in itself, but the idea was pretty good.
 
Watch it nevertheless I just expected more. It may be subjective as I mentioned I'm too old sometimes.

Last weekend I watched "Smokey and the Bandit" with the kids just for that feel good feeling.

So I am not a valuable movie reference :)


I watched Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry earlier this year and definitely enjoyed it!

I hear you. I watched it and it was good. But my expectations were higher. It's good enough to watch again, though.

I don't watch TV even i have a tv soley to watch DVD's as it has a built in DVD player . Whilst watching Cockleshell heroes in the sraff canteen ,,

I couldn't help but notice just how awful 4k affects Vintage era films visual aspect .. didn't look right at all ..
 
Just watched one of the most cretineous war films I have ever seen. Of course it s a recent film, noone would ever have dared make something like that 40 years ago.

"Company of heroes"

Sorry for the spoilers but people need to be warned about losing 100 mn of their short lives:

The movie starts promising with an ambush, some sniper fire...and some of the cast of "band of brothers" is there so you are rather expecting something interesting.

Then the dialogue starts and it´s right on the level of "Plan 9 from outer space".

As a matter of fact, an elite company is sent officially to deliver some turkey or something to forward lines, but the intelligence know that there is some kind of bomb being built by the nazis. An atomic bomb....

Time to move in to Germany behind enemy lines...with US uniforms and no German speakers, the operation can only be successful.

Lots of guys get shot by nazi soldiers, but the others board a train (in nazi Germany) under fire from German soldiers who stop once the train is out of sight because there is really nothing they can do I guess. The guys meet some prisoners there, including a Brit played by an actor who desperately wants to be the next Jason Statham but is probably already too old for that. The train ride is uneventful even though the Germans know the Americans are on the train, know the destination of the train and FFS the train is running in nazi Germany itself...

At one point, the US soldiers do realize that a US uniform in Stuttgart might give them away. They manage to get German uniforms and so two of them can stroll on the Stuttgart busy streets talking out loud in English about something as important as their wives and girlfriends back home.

A dude who everyone thought was Polish is in fact Russian and tries to double cross the Americans.

But still the operation continues all the way to atomic plant factory where the Americans run out of ammo and are seconds from being shot until a nazi commander comes in and just like in bad supervillain movies stops the action so he can reveal his plan and as usual in all these movies this gives the guys the time to turn the table around and win.

It has as much military value as "Captain America" or "Wonderwoman". I even think "Top Secret" with Val Kilmer was more realistic.

"Troll" Norwegian "film"

The worst possible combination of giant monster movies and mediaeval tales.

Good film for a late drunk Friday night. Entertaining.
