Eight Men Out. good movie. easy to watch. i miss the feeling of 80’s and 90’s movies when everything didn’t have to be hyperreal and overly stylized. just good dialogue, storytelling, and acting.

Bring Her Back was intense and terrifying. Back to back horror releases with Sinners is as good as I can remember.

Going to see it tomorrow with my son! Can't wait!

All The Right Moves. Craig T. Nelson should have taken the safety. Tom Cruise and Sheldon Cooper ended up at the same school. Good stuff. 

Take a safety? All he needed to do was have Rifleman kneel it.

Warfare

 

It’s about a mission in Iraq and really odd. The movie really lets you see how war can be, but it kind of felt pointless (you don’t get why they are in the mission). Amazing editing, cinematography and sound.

Thoughts?

I liked it, but if I'm ranking the Philippou brothers' movies, Talk to Me is still #1. I thought A Dark Song was a better meditation on grief. The acting was great, especially Sally Hawkins (of course) and the kid who played Oliver. Some nitpicky thoughts/questions below.

Spoiler

I wish we'd gotten more background on the ritual and the specifics around it, particularly regarding the "angel" that Oliver was...hosting? I get that he was supposed to consume Cathy's body, but why was she making him wait, when Cathy's body was in the freezer? To make sure that Piper would be the right host body for Cathy when she was reborn? And speaking of Cathy's body, how did she even have it? It wasn't a secret that she was dead, right? 

How was Oliver/Connor even alive once he left the circle and the rescuers found him? Wasn't he eating knives and plates and wood and stuff?

And a very random question, but where was Piper's mom? Did they mention her dying or something?

I think that's kind of the point.

Somehow, I had never seen Interstellar.  Wife andI watched it last night.  There is a lot to process in that movie and it's musically and visually strong to quite strong.  I really enjoyed it; I probably will have to rewatch it.

You just missed its re-release in 70MM IMAX back in December.

Likewise, somehow I had never seen Field of Dreams. Saw it last night. Pretty good stuff if a bit sappy. Love James Earl Jones.

Spoiler

I like Interstellar way better though.

Watching Darby’s Rangers on TCM.

Good war flick starring James Garner who I have always liked even though he is a Sooner.

And this a very good film that is not well known that he is also very good in….

Damn. Looks like the basic plot beginning of The Bourne Identity with a stunning female supporting cast:

George Voskovec could be portraying my face when I saw this. Garner was great.

As the kids say these days, "in!"

But still enjoyable 

I watched By Dawn’s Early Light last night.  A 1990 HBO made for tv WWIII movie.  I think Powers Boothe was in every WWIII movie

That's a great movie. If you want a book that's basically that movie played out as a well researched, non-fiction story, check out Nuclear War:A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen. You won't be able to put it down. 

Tommy likey. Tommy want wingey.
