Boom Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I'm a fan of Hugh Laurie too. He is a very polished, and versatile, actor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always impressed with Hugh Laurie's convincing American accent, and love the character's sarcastic humor. I binge watched House through the first two or three seasons and then I had to take a break from it. Never got back to it but now might be the time.

Enceladus Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Just finished watching this. Hadn't seen it until now probably because I was 9 when it came out. RIP Vera Leckie who died in January this year.

wheelsup_cavu Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Saw Dune: Part 2 yesterday. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15239678/ I did not see the original Dune nor have I read any of the books so I was not sure how much I would enjoy the movie. (Friend wanted to go who was a big Dune fanatic and I did not let them know that information before we went.) Another thing I did not know going in was that the movie was 2 hours and 45 minutes long without an intermission as is the case with several movies of that length. As for a review I found it to be an entertaining movie and I did not notice the time the movie ran until I got outside heading to my car and saw 3 hours had passed. That alone tells me the movie was good enough to keep me interested for that length of time since I did not leave to go to the bathroom or back to the concession stand because I was bored or uninterested in the story.

Very well done imo and as you've already pointed out it feels quite authentic. Already a recommendation from my side to anyone who is interested in the slightest in such settings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love fuedal Japanese history, so I'm planning to watch it once all episodes have released. But had kept my expectations low since it's often poorly represented outside of Japanese cinema. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 81 episodes in 4 months. Seeing the old technology that was state of the art at the time, especially computers, is interesting. No cell phones, no cameras in every building, seeing pay phones just about everywhere. Definitely a different, albeit not necessarily simpler, time...

wheelsup_cavu Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) Netflix evening: Smokey and the Bandit 2 Still a good movie for nostalgia sake but it was not nearly as good as the original. I think Sally Field was still dating Burt when this movie was filmed since I see no other reason to do it since it comes straight on the heels of her Oscar winning performance in Norma Rae. It also happens to be their last movie where they worked together. The Highwaymen It was after midnight when I finished watching Smokey and the Bandit and this one came up in my suggestions. Gave the trailer a watch and I was going to just queue it up to watch it today. Instead I thought I would just give the first ten to fifteen minutes a go which turned to twenty-five then I ended up watching the entire movie. IMO it is definitely one of Costner's better movies since Dances with Wolves.

wheelsup_cavu Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 The Accountant starring Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick with supporting actors John Lithgow, Jeffrey Tambor, J.K. Simmons and Jean Smart. I was not expecting much when I chose it but I found it to be a good shoot-em up romp. Imo the 7.3/10 rating on IMDb is fairly accurate.

Boom Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) One of my all time favourites. Stellar cast, hysterical national sterotypes and the arch villian played by Terry Thomas as Sir Percy Ware-Armitage. A nice play on words, as Ware-Armitage was a company that made urinals and toilets. And my favourite line? When Emilio Ponticelli reneged on a promise to stop flying. Wife: But Emilio, you promised! Emilio: It's postponed. And the aeroplanes! Twenty (20) were built for the movie, seven (7) of which could actually fly. Wonderful to see them in the air. The Santos-Dumont Demoiselle actually needed a specific pilot for it, as weight and space was critical. In the end they found a ex-wartime Air Transport Auxillary pilot by the name of Joan Hughes, who was small enough (51kg) and skilled enough to fly it. The British really did produce many classic movies in the 60's. Edited May 21 by Boom 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
