There is no realism in movies like the Bourne franchise. I live in Realville, and computer generated movies don’t rock it for me. And BTW, I’m enjoying this afternoon immensely.

Me Before You. It may still be in theatres. I saw it last week at the Budget theatre. Apparently the book was a best seller (my daughter has read it twice). Terribly sweet. It’s about an ill-watched couple who fall in love and it ends with — well I won’t tell you. But he winds up doing marvelous things for her and opening whole new worlds for her in his absence.

Yes, “Katyn” was both good and disturbing.

Bella was outstanding. I believe I saw it more than once in the theatre.

That term was actually used at the site I pulled that info from, so I gather that is what the seeing eye dog was referred to as. I was looking up Sammie Davis Jr. Jr., wondering why I had never heard of him, or was it a mistype. Though I had a feeling that it was the name of a seeing eye dog LOL.

Sounded like an interesting movie.

October Sky was fantastic. My daughter gave it to me for my video library for our anniversary once year.

Despite its giant and noisy car chases,... I've been a cerified automobile mechanic for over thirty years, and cars just don't behave that way in real life. Give me Bullitt.

“Lawless,” and “Legend,” both starring Tom Hardy, with Hardy in a dual roles as gangster twins in Legend. Hardy is beyond memorable in both films — a moonshiner in Lawless and twin gangsters in Legend.

Matt Damon wants full gun control over next no. He won’t do it if a gun is on the set or inn the movie. I like a liberal who stands up for his bullsh$t.

Liked "Everything is Illuminated", probably because he was tracing a lot of my personal family roots.

One other "sleeper" that could have been a documentary of the 2008 and 2012 elections is "Idiocracy". Doofus slacker agrees to be frozen, only to awaken 500 years later to find he is probably the smartest person in this world.

A good illustration of the adage "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king".

I read somewhere that “The Dukes of Hazzard” had a forty acre lot of Dodge Chargers.

BTW, there was a very early movie of the same name and it had the same characters except it was not a comedy. Not a great movie but one should watch it just out of curiosity.

re: Atlas Shrugged movies. No speech from Rearden? That’s sacrilegious to the book.
