Edge of Tomorrow is one of my favorite movies. I dig him as an action hero. Heck he does a lot of his own stunts.
Oblivion is another one of his movies I really like.

Another great pick. It’s a year old, but this Carré interview ranging from his upbringing, through his take on aspects of the Cold War all the way through 2017 Trump is fascinating.
I’ll give our current times this credit: they sure breathed new life into movies like this, Seven Days in May, Network, All the President’s Men...

For my part, last thing I saw was Ozu’s Late Spring on Saturday. Great movie. Unfortunately, I had an expensive car incident exiting the [expletive] little garage across from the theater. No one else was involved but it’s solidified a turbulently dour mood that seems distraction-proof... everything-proof.
Seven Days In May and Failsafe two riveting 1960s thrillers. I’ll also add Bedford Incident.
Trying to find Dave in our film collection. I thought it would be fitting given the current political climate.
I remember this movie. Saw it a few years after it came out. Didn't see it up until summer of '14 and still liked it. It's cheesy now, obviously, but most of us also thought Van Damme movies were brilliant in the 80s.
I was stationed onboard the Nimitz while this movie was being made. 80% of the movie was filmed while the Nimitz was moored alongside the pier in Norfolk, Va. LOL
I'm guessing chromakey editing? I'd completely forgotten about the movie until I was flipping through Netflix and saw some stuff, went over to YouTube to look at trailers and it came up on the right side. It was in a compilation, I think, of alternate history films. I spent most of that week rewatching old and newer war films I'd only seen parts of beforehand. There's been a lot of films I'll watch thinking I've never seen them before until I go to IMDB to add it to my watchlist and see that I added it a few years ago. Hmm....
After watching the trailer my only thought is I’ve grown tired of CGI rich films. So obvious and distractingly disappointing. Perhaps the story and performances make it a good show.
I saw Incredibles 2 over the weekend. Pretty 3/4, the quality of animation now make the previous film look like it was rendered on my laptop.
Throughout the film there was gratuitous shots of Elastigirl's rear end. Which may have been intentional to keep the dad's engaged?

What a classic movie.
Saw this over the weekend. Not as good as the first one, but good. I thought the babies interactions with the Dad and Lucius were the best part of the movie.
Just finished rewatching the superb Bone Tomahawk (2015), directed by S. Craig Zahler. I like westerns, and I like genre films with a twist, and this film ticks both boxes with flying colors. It's very much a slow burn, meaning that it takes it's sweet time to really get going, but once it does, oh boy. The great thing is, that even the slower beginning doesn't feel boring in any way, the film just takes it's time to flesh out the characters, and the greatly penned dialogue is really given room to shine. Fair warning, in the final third of the film the proceedings get surprisingly violent, so if that's not your cup of tea maybe steer clear of this one.
I just noticed that the director's new film, Brawl in Cell Block 99, starring Vince Vaughn and DON JOHNSON of all people is on iTunes. Might have to rent that one later tonight.

Think I saw only part of Bedford Incident on TV once, I might have been trying to unwind from 55 hours straight on the job, probably dropped off at some point and woke up looking at the ceiling wondering if was Tuesday yet or still Sunday. Gonna give it another try in retirement and enjoy the whole thing this time. I remember the cast as quite good.
