Which awesome movies have you watched recently?

[Bluzboy]

I am also a Nam vet and I couldn't agree with you more. In my circle of Brothers we don't understand why Hollywood and ghost writers feel the need to exploit such scenarios. My opinion is that it is demeaning to those of us that served Honorably and to those that never made it home.....Semper Fidelis

Best regards in all your endeavors and thanks for the moral support of you and your brothers on the issue IndicaBush.

I saw The Equalizer tonight, pretty good movie. A bit far fetched, but what isn't in Hollywood these days?

Harrison Ford has signed to do a sequel to "Bladerunner" and filming starts next summer 2016....premise of script is that it is decades later and a search is on to find Rick Deckard(Ford) for some reason and Ford as Deckard apparently does not make an appearance till the third act in the film.....maybe a Christmas 2017 release date thrown out there about it...

As a Nam combat veteran I would like to add some input from my perspective and other older vets I hang with on this "Kyle" thing, which is...I and a lot of other veterans do not like the recent spate of expose novels and movies made and based on the bravado and thumping chest exploits of certain SOG operations or operators and I will leave my opine to end there. I will tell you that I had to attend a good friend's funeral this week that was a decorated SEAL from 1965 to 1972 and you never heard of him, or what he did, nor did he ever make a big deal out of it and thought exactly what I do about these SOG hyped movies and books. His name was Robert Kidd and he was as fine a person and generous gracious cowboy and rancher you'd ever meet and never once thumped chest about combat or what he did in combat...RIP Bob...

Thank you both for sharing your insight and your stories. You're the kind of whom I speak, as was Robert Kidd, may he rest in peace forever.




Now, has anyone mentioned Cold in July? I watched most of it last night. Holy fuck. I've DVR'd it, gonna have to gird myself to watch it again, some scenes are pretty intense.

Are we giving storyline synopses here, or what? I can't remember if we agreed not to.

Watched the Life of Walter Mitty recently and quite enjoyed it. Ben Stiller really surprised me in it, plus the cinematography is just beautiful.

I enjoyed parts of Wild Card, but most of it was a bust. It seemed to be a slow paced character study.
