What movies are you watching??? Just curious....

All Quiet on the Western Front

An accurate depiction of the horrors of trench warfare during WW1. It shows how quickly fervor and nationalism to serve your country can change to just a battle to survive each day. The elite who push the young men into war eat course meals whilst the soldiers on the front are starving. It is a grim movie with plenty of unnerving scenes with a little levity sprinkled in between the horror. The acting is superb, cinematography highlights the true hell of the Front and the music adds to the suspense and sense of incoming trepidation.

9/10

Lol, Solvent always a day late and a dollar short. Thanks for recommending a long-standing classic that everyone has heard of. I'll be sure to give it a watch. It's about the American Civil War, you say?

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

The film serves as a moving tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, which is also the movie's main downfall. The man was the movie and without the man, the story is lacking.

As far as MCU sequels goes, it's still better than Iron Man 2 and Thor 2.

1. I did not like the first Black Panther movie (nor The Winter Soldier or Avengers End Game, they sucked).

2. I really liked the latest Black Panther film. Surprisingly, as i only saw it cuz my bud wanted to go (to the one theater in town, that featured it). I think two Oscars are for sure, bet on it, one for Best Supporting Actress. Those lines and scenes were written to win!!

Why? The sequel has nothing on the original.

I'm not a huge fan of the Marvel movies but I always seem to end up seeing them, and I'd put the first Black Panther one up there with the ones I most enjoyed.

I get up early Monday mornings, have prep lessons and all my junk for 9am (am locked & loaded for) one-hour jaunts to Jinju.

Am in my jeep... C-YA!

It was better than expected having read the novel long ago and not being that impressed by it. Great at showing how war fever infected those signing up and in previewing how the Armistice would lead to WWII. As for the guilt of the generals and aristocrats, Paths of Glory does a much better job.

Babylon finally came out to download in 1080 quality.  Looking forward to that probably on Thursday night.

Five? Berlin?

also, check your local cgv time schedule.  most are playing the oscar nominated films that didnt yet come to korea, or werent going to.  like The Whale, Tar, After Sun, Banshees of inishirin, The quiet girl, ...  lots of locations if your prefer to pay for your movies and dont have a home theatre

Just watched a movie called 'Little Dixie'.
Stars Frank Grillo as a not sure what, whose daughter gets taken by a Mexican cartel hitman.
Not much of a story but lots of gratuitous shootings. It was okay as a time filler. 5.5/10.

Watching House of Detention. Van Darkholme's performance was worthy of an Oscar

I got ten minutes into that Wakanda Forever thing. Wow, what a
steaming pile.

Watched Where Crawdads Sing on Netflix, pretty good.

Me too confusedsaffer! It took me an age to finally watch it mainly because of the romantic drama bit, but in the end it was just part of the movie, not the movie itself. You should also check-out the book. A really good read.

Is the book a lot different from the movie?

Yeah, there are a few differences. I'm not going to throw out spoilers though. We know most/many books leave the movies dead, but the differences are not significant enough to completely alter this movie version...just way less depth, naturally.

Thanks, have a good weekend.

Since the gov't revealed (50 years later unsealed) documents,... has any film captured the American decision to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki despite the historically-proven by U.S. admittance, ... that it was all about needing the Japanese to give up their Emperor, to let America lead post-war reconstruction (there was a clear plan and an emperor in power might have upset it).

Bombing Hiroshima & Nagasaki was a business decision.

To be clear: the Japanese were ready and willing to totally surrender, but wanted their emperor to be protected and preserved as their leader; the U.S. refused, having industrialists lined up for American-led post-war reconstruction.

This was headlne news for three days. A quarter century later,... poof!

From (supposedly) award-winning journalist to conspiracy monger. Quite the fall,
