I watched this yesterday: World War III (1998 film)"
It’s well done. They used lots of historical footage and stitched them together to create this alternate history documentary. While most of the movie relies on this real footage, it’s interwined with staged/“acted” shots when necessary. Much more convincing than “By Dawn Early Lights” 
Speaking of Brolin, was rewatching ‘Hail Caesar!’ night -
Forgot how funny that movie was, everyone’s so great in it - that scene with Fiennes and Ehrenreich had me dying.
Love so many movies the Coen brothers have made, hard to believe they’ve been at it almost 40 years!
Rocky and Rocky II on Netflix. The fight scenes were practically edited out of Rocky and the pacing was off in Rocky II. The thing that made the fight scenes so real was Stu Nahans commentary during the fights in the movie which were practically non existent in Rocky and in Rocky II there were some scenes edited out too. Was actually pretty disappointed with both of them.

Bummer. I hate it when they do that. Especially to a classic like the Rocky.
Meanwhile. I am watching (haven’t finished yet):
A fascinating insight into what I agree is the greatest F1 car ever built.
Edit watched: It just got better and better. Not only a fairly in depth look at the design philosophy, but something that we rarely get to see or hear about with F1 - what happens in the garage on a race weekend. Lots of little tid-bits, such as the qualifying tyres getting so sticky that after a run they either had to have water on the garage floor or rock the car back and forth until they had cooled, otherwise they would stick to the floor and bend the front suspension pull-rod if they tried to lift it.
Well worth 1 and 1/4 hours of your time if you are remotely interested in F1.
The Final Countdown
I have seen this movie at least a dozen times and I just noticed with tonight’s viewing that Nihau is the Island where Commander Yelland (Kirk Douglas) intends to have Cdr. Richard Owens (James Farentino) strand the Senator Sam Chapman (Charles Durning) and Laurel Scott (Katharine Ross) characters.

I do not know why I never clued into that fact before tonight.

Great flying! The F-14 that almost smacks the drink still gives me chills.
Terrifying moment of film.
Looking forward to this one. THIS GUY was a great pick for the review - no BS attitude…I cracked up on his comment about the background ‘noise’ (was done at his house it seems).
Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong movie.
3 hour and 12 minute movie that could have been told in 20 minutes or less…

Might give this a go when it comes out
That looks good. I would love to be able to watch that myself. Will have to search for it and see if its available to me somewhere.
Watched the first The Last of Us episode last night and it’s looking like it’ll be pretty good. Very faithful to the game and I’m sure a couple of shots were taken straight from it. I wasn’t too keen on Pedro Pascal being Joel when it was announced but he’s good in the role.
See, Netflix, this is how you don’t butcher the source material
Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Robert Shaw, Charles Durning, & Robert Earl Jones (The father of James Earl Jones)
For me anyway, the movie still holds up well and the 8.3 IMDb rating is reasonable.

Episode 1 was one hulluva ride! Love, loss, fear, laughter—it was all there in near-perfect presentation. I never played the game. But the show has scenes that evoke some of the POV ambiance that shooters with weapons, inventory, health and switched playable characters excel at. Or maybe this is how all action genres work regardless of platform and I am simply more sensitive to it here.
And another HBO plug. But maybe this one will not get quite as much agreement. I’ve become increasingly attracted to simplicity. Simplicity can take two turns: genius and stupid. Depending on the reader, The Old Man and the Sea steers one direction or the other. Banshees of Inisherin is similar. It’s a simple, unique story. It’s dark but is obviously not meant to be taken seriously. The kid who plays Dominic steals every scene he’s in. I’ve watched five times, mainly for him and for the photography. If you’re Irish, I can see where this film might ■■■■ you off a little. If it is any consolation, as a non-Irish viewer, I only saw the beauty.
That looks good Eric. Thanks for the suggestion.
Your version of the review is better.
Crap-o-la! I completely missed yours. Will withdraw mine as it is superfluously redundant, as is this sentence 
I like yours better anyway.
Whhhaaaa Season 4 of Fauda out. I didn’t even know there was a season 4 (Netflix).
I mentioned this show before. It’s really good.
Meanwhile, a coworker of mine mentioned a Japanese reality show of very young kids, going around town, doing tasks and stuff. Unaccompanied by their parents. I was a bit taken back by it. Apparently, it was a big thing in the news last year, but I missed it.
Separately, I watched the first season of Tulsa King this past weekend. I would highly recommend it as well.
Additionally, I liked The Last of Us first episode as well.
Neither did I. I loved this show. Will have to put back in my list now and check out new season.
