That scene did make me cringe a little, but then it's all just Hollywood make believe, Hollywood acting, Hollywood cliches etc. I thought the movie wasn't too bad but as with most Hollywood productions, it's just that. . . .Hollywood. Often very little semblence to real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooBigToFit Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Story of a kid adopted by a Japanese family who went to war with some Japanese language skills and got Japanese to surrender saving some lives. Still out there in the torrents. May also be on youtube. This one on Netflix touches on the Asian American experience during the period too but its a family movie. Well my choices may not appeal to all. I like some light stuff. Another one I like is this one. I'd love to get it on the torrents but it just isn't seeded. It's basically a story of the Pope takes a holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobandyson Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Harold and Maude (1971) "Cult classic about a suicidal young man who becomes involved with an elderly woman who teaches him how to live life to the max. Cort and Gordon are one of the oddest and funniest couples to ever grace the screen!" Good soundtrack containing songs of Cat Stevens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and thanks for the tip regarding, "The Stalking Moon", which I am in the process of downloading now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post xylophone Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 Watched "The Power of the dog" last night and thought it was excellent, much better than I expected. It was actually filmed in the South Island of New Zealand, and the location was made to look like a small town in Montana, however that aside, the pacing of the movie was great, the music score was both edgy and very good, and the acting was superb, especially that of Benedict Cumberbatch. And the ending was unexpected and took a bit of thinking through. I can't recommend it too highly. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A suggestion for those looking for a great but relatively unknown western - "Ride The High Country", Sam Peckinpah's second film and I put it with "The Wild Bunch" as his 2 best films. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mutt Daeng Posted September 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2021 I've just binge watched 3 seasons of "Get Shorty" and am now binge watching 5 seasons of "Hell on Wheels".

It was made in 1967 according to IMDb and 1968 according to Wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original movie version on The Wild Bunch had a lot of slow motion bullets hitting bodies and blood coming out, but the DVD version eliminated the slow motion, which IMO reduced the intended dramatic impact. Similar to Singapore removing all the really shocking parts of the Exorcist for public viewing. Significantly changed the director's intent.

Saddic Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 E1-2 dropped... E1 encapsulated the first novel's main points, and E2 went off trying to universe build... Probably fine for fans of the books, but probably too intellectual (and slow) for norm'ees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Upon a Time in America with De Niro was meant to be 6 hours long but was cut finally to just under 4 hours. Some versions came out a bit shorter like the US version and, all the flashback scenes of the main character were put into chronological order which made a total mish-mash of the film. 3 hours 49m is the standard release version but I think I read that a blu-ray version had some extra scenes added when it got restored. Available on fmovies. Great actors, Great music, Great movie. Edited September 26, 2021 by bobandyson 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I downloaded and watched a western I had seen quite a few years ago and which I quite enjoyed, called, "Tom Horn", starring Steve McQueen and Linda Evans, and quite enjoyed seeing it again, and also picked up some nuances from this viewing, that I hadn't realised were there in previous ones. These had to do with the promises that were made to Tom Horn when being engaged by the Cattlemen's Association to do some "work" for them. IMO there was an unsatisfactory ending, so I went on to Wikipedia to have a look at what it said about his life and death. Can't write any more otherwise it will give the game away, but if you haven't seen it, certainly worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
