Miatatom Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 For old war movies, my brother always recommended Battleground and A Walk in the Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Finally saw Talladega Nights. Luckily Netflix gives you the option to watch at 1.5X speed. Still a silly and stupid movie. I only laughed once--at something one of the snotball kids said. OTOH, at the moment I'm about halfway through Horrible Bosses. I don't remember if I saw it before or not, but it's hilarious.

LOLed at the Boneheads' laughing gas scene. On 7/31/2021 at 11:07 PM, cobraman said: Based on your review I just finished watching it. It was entertaining as you said. Wife and I enjoyed it. Based on both of you, I watched it too. Pretty entertaining! I can sum it up in five words: Kill Bill meets John Wick. With maybe some Coen bothers thrown in. Snakeworthy!

cobraman Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Wife and I went to the movies today. We saw Don't Breathe 2. We liked the first one so we thought this one was worth seeing. I liked this one better. More bad guys and what I would call a bit of a twist. Don't want to add to that in case some of you may want to see. Not for everyone I suppose but wife and I enjoyed it.

cobraman Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Just watched "Cold Skin" on Amazon Prime. It's from 2018 and its a Horror/Sci-Fi flick. I was just searching for something to watch and put this on. A rather strange movie that I know would not appeal to everyone. I almost turned it off in the beginning but it did interest me as to where it was going. It's about a man who is going out to man a lighthouse at the ends of the earth. He is to replace a man already there. That man is gone but there is a castaway there. As it turns out there are creatures that come out at night and attack the lighthouse. The castaway has one that he keeps sort of as a pet. As I said rather strange.It was an 1 hour and 50 minutes I will never get back but, I have seen worse.

Yeah, saving private Ryan is a good one. If you like war movies or military history, add “We Were Soldiers” and “Glory” to your list. I recently got to see the relatively new movie “The Last Full Measure”, another sobering story from the Vietnam era, along with the aforementioned “We Were Soldiers”.....

cobraman Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 War movies.... I like Enemy at the Gates. Largely about snipers. Pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Saw the new movie Reminiscence today on HBOMax, starring Huge Akman. VERY good old-school noir, even though it's near-future sci-fi. It put me in mind of such films as Chinatown and Blade Runner. If you don't have HBOMax, it's in theaters today and if you're going to go out and pay to see a movie, this is a good one! Recommended. Yesterday I re-watched Inception. Very confusing movie; this time I understood a little more than I did the first time, but there's no denying that it's all first-rate cinematography, stunts, and CGI. A real thrill ride.

Anyway , I did not know it at the time but is based a lot on the real story of Amanda Knox. A fathers daughter is in a prison in France for a crime she either did or didn't do. ( I won't say ) The story is just only about a father trying his best to get his daughter released from prison . He doesn't get a lot of legal help but finds a local woman who decides to help him. I will stop there as to not give much away if someone plans to see it. My wife liked it more than I did. For me it was pretty boring. Too long at 2 hours and 20 min. I think it was. I can't recommend it but we all like different things. Ray, I was wonder about that movie, thanks for you opinion and info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Just watched a new flick on Netflix . Called Sweet Girl . About a wife, daughter and husband ( played by the Aquaman guy ) . Anyway the wife gets cancer and the drug company that has a generic drug that could help her is suspended . Wife dies , man gets angry and wants revenge . Fair amount of action . Close to the end there is a twist that neither my wife or I saw coming . We liked it . We were bored before we watched it so just that it was watchable was good .

cobraman Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Went to see another movie today . This time wife wanted to see Fun Guy . Stars Ryan Reynolds . It’s billed as a comedy . So Ryan goes about his business day to day ( think Groundhog Day ) . At one point he obtains a pair of special sunglasses . When he puts them on he sees stuff he could not see without them . Think the old movie They Live . In this case what he sees seems to amount to a video game but he does not know it . The special effects are pretty good but IMO not very funny . Actually we thought it was kind of lame . There are a few laughs along the way but few and far between . If you like video games or just want to see a movie that gets you away from the news you may like it more than I did . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a PC-ized Death Wish or Rambo. You're right about the twist at the end. I didn't see it coming, either. That was definitely the most interesting thing about the movie!

Mike999 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Tonight I finished watching the 10-hour series "Valley Of Tears" on HBO-MAX. An Israeli series about the 1973 Yom Kippur War in the Golan Heights. According to news stories, it's the most expensive feature ever made in Israel. That's understandable, just from the tank battles and other vehicles. Centurion tanks duking it out with T-62's, M-38 Jeeps, "Nun-Nun" trucks etc. As a military vehicle fan, the only goof I saw was that the T-62s were actually the modified Israeli "Tiran" version. Not a big deal. Even the APC's were the correct, older M113A1 with the internal fuel tank. The story is interesting and follows a diverse bunch of characters: a nerdy Intelligence corporal, a female staff officer, and a tank commander who makes Oddball in "Kelly's Heroes" look downright normal.

cobraman Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Not sure if it's been mentioned but yesterday I popped the DVD of Hacksaw Ridge in the machine. Saw it at the theater when it came out . I liked it so I got the DVD. My wife who does not care for war movies liked it and that is saying something. It is based on a true story. It tells about PFC Desmond Doss. He won the Congressional Medal of Honor. He refused to carry a weapon at all. Other soldiers were not happy with him but he managed to save 75 men in the Battle of Okinawa without ever firing a shot. For us it was a very incredible and moving story. I can recommend highly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMiles Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) I really like the movie t34. Its a Russian language movie that was dubbed in English. Its quite cheesey and the english dubbing is over acted, but the story is amazing. its not a true story but a fun story. I dont want to give too much away but its about ww2 and tankers against german commander Its on Amazon prime for free or at least it was recently Edited August 27, 2021 by MrMiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
