I was hoping for a little more attention on the cars/racing. Instead it's a realistic portrayal of the rivalry between Hunt and Lauda which, TBH, doesn't come across as all that dramatic. The movie spends too much time driving the point that Lauda was an unfeeling machine and Hunt was a fun loving playboy. Bruhl is excellent as always but Hemsworth just doesn't have the chops to disappear into the role.
The art, photography, costume and set design are excellent.

Finally got around to seeing Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. It was ok, just not one of my favorite films by Tarantino, although I recently read this is the film he wants to be remembered for. He took some pretty big liberties with the Tate-Labianca murders, but maybe that was the point? Margot Robbie was pretty much wasted in this film, although the scenes she's in, she does a pretty good job. Glad I saw it, but unlike some of his other films, probably won't watch again.

I loved it. Not sure what you mean by liberties? Obviously it was an alternate ending to the real thing. I thought the scene at the end with Brad Pitt's Cliff Booth and the attackers was classic Tarantino over the top violence.
Isn't altering the events considered taking liberties? Tex is still alive in prison, and Squeaky, the ginger haired girl, went on to try and assassinate President Ford. I didn't hate the movie, but I think Hateful Eight, Django Unchained, Inglourious Basterds are better movies, with Pulp Fiction my favorite work of his.

Sure it is. But it wasn't billed as a documentary.
Didn't say it was.

Been watching old Christmas movies with my girlfriend getting into the season a little early. Stumbled across this one we had never seen before (we like the oldies). Holds up well with some comedy and surprisingly poignant class struggle themes that have aged well. Streaming on HBO Max if you are looking for it.

This was a lot better then I expected IMO. Watched it this weekend. Was expecting something more campy with Aubrey Plaza as the lead but instead it was more of a dark and serious thriller that (dare I say) almost reminded me of Michael Mann's Heat in a few places albeit a much smaller scale story. But it had that kind of vibe and atmosphere at times. Rented on Amazon for $2.99...
oh man oh man oh man.
you said heat. i thought you said collateral.
you had me at collateral.
but definitely considering this one. thank you bro.

Again like a tiny scale movie compared to Heat. But had some of the same themes... wrestling with conscious/morality vs. financial needs/desperation/survival/etc.oh man oh man oh man.

The old factory where those planes were built is right down the street from my office. There is a museum there they have one restored.Ok, so it wasn't today. It was last Friday night. My daughter was at a K-pop concert and I had some time to kill.
So i watched Devotion. Good Flick. I enjoyed!!
