I remember watching that in the movie theaters. Not sure if I've watched it since, but I seem to recall enjoying it back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Fast and Furious' and then 'Fast Five'. 6 was bad and 7 looked worse so I never went back to that well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMashMouthMike Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) The 12th Man. This one follows the survival of a Norwegian resistance fighter during WW2. His group was supposed to blow up a Nazi airport tower. Things go horribly array. And he has to survive both the Nazis and the brutal weather. IMDB gave this a 7.3. I agree although it’s a slog to get through. This was my 4th or 5th time trying, and the first time I didn’t zonk out after 15 minutes, lol. It’s not a must see, but it’s good if u wanna watch a movie that puts u to sleep, or if you’re interested in these historical dramas from that time period. I enjoyed Anthropoid and Flame and Citron more than this one though. Edited March 8, 2022 by SMashMouthMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Watching Get Back again on Disney+ to have on as background while I work, and McCartney is just amazing. In like a week he writes Get Back, Let it Be, and The Long and Winding Road, after already coming to the table with Two of Us and I Got a Feeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMashMouthMike Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Out of the Furnace. Not a bad revenge flick. I liked it better than I thought I would. Decent story. Woody Harrelson’s character’s over the top but everyone else did really good. I liked Blue Ruin a touch more, but this was good. Free on Prime. A 6.8 on IMDB is about right, maybe a little lower than what I would have given it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Prince Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Starship Troopers, had this movie on VHS when I was a kid. Still holds up well IMO. R.I.P. Dizz such a badass when she took her jacket off to fight the sergeant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it being a little weird for me. Cold in July I liked a lot though, about the same as Out of the Furnace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m about halfway through it, and I’ll go back and finish it soon. I listened to the audiobook recently, and the movie is sort of a satire of the book. Heinlein’s 1959 book was serious and philosophical, and the movie has a completely different tone. It says on the film’s Wikipedia page that the director didn’t like the book (only read two chapters), and that’s clear to me after having experienced both. Still, I enjoyed both.

SMashMouthMike Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Cold In July. Nice little partner crime/thriller. It stars Michael C Hall, Sam Shepard and Don Johnson. 1st half of the movie is slow but tense as hell. The movie loses a lot of steam for me in the second half, and I’m not sure why. Doesn’t matter too much because it’s has a solid ending. Not as good as Blue Ruin but I liked a little more than Out of the Furnace. 7.4/10 for me.
