Dang - I wanted to see that movie but was too distracted doing house maintenance..so when I went to see it, they had stopped screening it.
An article I read said that she suggested Bogart to the director (or studio shirts, I forget which) as the only actor who could play the role… 🤔
There's always Ford vs Ferrari.
It has one of the best fight scenes I have ever seen, with the wife of one of the combatants taking a lawn chair to watch.
I still haven't seen Killers of the Flower Moon.
I want to, I just need to find the stretch to watch it!

that’s because she was already humphing him. ha ha
if you enjoy being lectured to by some hollywood ‘heavyweights’ (and can sit thru 3.5 hours of cinematic schlep) - go for it.
yes, i realise that it’s based on a true historical episode, but it is woefully miscast - with the exception of lily gladstone and jesse plemons.
the book is an ok read though

does that matter?
some like it both ways.
no. scrub that comment.
i could get into trouble 😏🤓
The A Team (2010)- Somewhere between a delightful comedy and nonsensical action farce, depending on your perspective. I like it. Nice coreagraphed stunts with a heavy dose of CGI. 
Just watched an old movie “David and Lisa“ from 1962. It’s a sweet movie about troubled teens in an institution.
However I really sat up and took notice when David (the main character) told his doctor that he hated all watches because they were junk and that some day he would invent a watch that was connected by radio so that it would always have the perfect time. I looked at my iPhone and Apple Watch and thought, “You just had to wait about 50 years for this.”

M*A*S*H (1970)- Read the book, liked it, saw the movie in 1970, I remember loving it, but when I recently tried to watch it, it just kind of laid there. I guess I’ve changed, not that I thought it was irreverent, some humorous events in the middle of war, it just did not grab me. 🤔
Just watched a movie named Lift on Netflix. If you like heist movies this one's pretty good!!!
It was an okay movie but Palme d'Or is a bit too much for it I think.
I tried to watch Blue Beetle.
I found it passably entertaining even if a bit stale but then they just had to include a throwaway 'joke' about ADHD and I couldn't get past it, given that I'm ASD/ADHD myself.
I'm tired of being the butt of 'jokes'. Most people probably wouldn't have even noticed it or cared about such a minor line but then again, most people don't experience a lifetime of exclusion and belittling due to their disabilities. There are good reasons why neurodivergent people have far higher suicide rates than neurotypicals. Facing a constant, daily barrage of this kind of crud is one of them.

At the time, the actual Korean War ended only 17 years prior. Maybe it resonated more with people closer to the war than it does now - 70 years later.
While MASH was set in the Korean War. I was under the impression this was clearly a surrogate and was directed as criticism for on-going Vietnam War.
I can’t explain my reason for not connecting with this movie/story now as compared to 50 years ago. There are WWII movies I still feel an emotional connection to, but Korea and Vietnam hold distinctly different connotations in my memory. Maybe I’ve grown distant from those latter conflicts, with WWII remaining as the “worthy” war… 🤔 That said, Apocalypse Now and Platoon both struck me as good “anti-war” movies, and they both lack humor which is really how war stories should be mostly, even though I enjoyed the bits of humor in Kelly’s Heroes.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)- This 2nd chapter does a great job of keeping the momentum up, with some outstanding coreagraphed fight scenes, and pretty amazing CGI cinematography during a gonzo chase scene.
