Is it worth watching the original series? warspite1 Yes, from what I can remember it is definitely worth watching - a very good cast too. There are 5 series to catch-up on though! warspite1 In preparation for tomorrow night I watched the original pilot episode and then the last episode of the last series. I think that gives me pretty much all I need to know so I know who was doing what with whom.

Last night I watched the Russian film, Stalingrad (Fedor Bondarchuk, 2013), not to be confused with the 1993 film. It was by and large quite a disappointment. Very over-the-top (and largely fairly unconvincing) CG distracting from a decent ebough story. What annoys me in these blockbuster spectacles, though, is the constant soundtrack. Music can play a very important role in evoking emotion or accentuating action, etc., but like anything, when it's overused it loses its impact and ends up feeling cheap. Silence is just as important! Also, trying to ape Saving Private Ryan's worst bit, the modern-day 'bookends', with an irrelevant vignette about the Japanese tsunami was the bitter icing on the cake. I didn't hate it as much as it might seem, but it certainly irritated me!

Second season of Narcos finished in 4 days. [:)] Now I have to wait a year for the third season. [:(] If they even make a third season. But I sure do hope that they do but series that I like tend to be cancelled early. I am still annoyed that Firefly got cancelled. [:@]

Like welcoming 5 friends back (some you like more than others sure, but there is comfort in the familiarity).

Watched the Disney re-make of the Jungle Book over the weekend. Wow! What a brilliant version! The little actor that played Mowgli was perfect for the part and the CGI was incredible! Great movie.

Finally watched Minions at the weekend. Not a great film but I loved the Minions dressed as French Napoleonic infantry. Priceless. [image]local://upfiles/28156/53A1A6A2C6A94767AE782B0C47C1210E.jpg[/image]

After recently reading Bravo Two Zero, I managed to track down a copy of the 1999 miniseries. It wasn't too bad; surprisingly faithful to the book. Not Sean Bean's best by any means though. I'd quite like to see the 1996 film adaptation of Chris Ryan's book The One That Got Away now.

I strongly recommend "Kubo and the Two Strings" for your family and warspite1 Jr. Thumbs up all the way around from my crew. [8D]

Just rewatched "By Dawn's Early Light". Some parts of it made me squirm again... [:(]

I watched The Fighting Seabees this afternoon. A classic, but I didn't enjoy it at all. I don't mind John Wayne in general, but in this his character was ignorant and bloody-minded and he was still hailed as the hero by every man and his dog. It did spark a new-found interest in the Seabees, though, so I suppose it wasn't entirely wasted.

National Treasure I watched the first of a four-parter. This is written on the back of Operation Yewtree and the high profile investigations into celebrities and allegations of 'misdemeanours' in the past. The series stars the always watchable Robbie Coltrane (as a long-established comedian and TV personality) and the ever brilliant Julie Walters (as his wife). Excellent script and acting (as you would expect from a fine cast that also includes Tim McInnerney). Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I returned to a film I loved when I was younger, Michael Mann's The Keep. The effects have that glorious '80s chunky/gooey physicality (as per Alien and The Thing) but the plot and acting are really quite dated. Shoukd have stuck with my memories instead! :/

[image]local://upfiles/34241/219D3B4620054EB48F83BBB7177AD48F.jpg[/image] Saw the trailer and the first thing that came to mind was "ah ha an off-shoot on the back of the X-Men success. I find mutant abilities very appealing and I wait in anticipation to see the different mutants. In the new movie,These children's peculiar gifts are less appealing. Almost like a forced idea(something to be different enough) to make the film to not be a complete copy of mutant abilities. Just, can't get into this YET.

The wife read most of the first book and gave up; apparently it got off to a good start but her interest just petered out. Here's hoping the film makes it a bit more engaging. I do like Eva Green, but I'm not a fan of Tim Burton's recent films.

Bridge of Spies A truly Excellent film. Tom Hanks is such a good actor. Great script, great story. Thoroughly recommended.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford Backing was pulled when the MACHINE realized it was not going to be the normal high action, bigger than life movie. Some say it moves too slowly. It's a study in character and pulls you into that time. Visually it's beautiful moving pictures. Ive read that the orignal flim was 4 hours and may be released someday.

Hitler: The Rise and Fall Three parter. The first one was surprisingly good - amazing how many photos of crowds in Vienna and elsewhere that they have found and identified Hitler in! Also I never realised, but apparently he was never made a corporal. He was a Private First Class. Anyone else ever hear that?

[:)] warspite1 Not sure what is accessible in other parts of the world, but this 3-part series is currently showing on 'More 4' part of the UK's Channel 4. Apparently the story that he was promoted in the field to corporal was a story he invented to make him sound good - as was the story he concocted about how he got his Iron Cross (via a daring mission in which he captured a bunch of French soldiers single-handed - the incident did happen, but Hitler wasn't the guy responsible).

If true - and it would be staggering if the program makers have lied or got it wrong given the quality of the historians involved - I wonder why and how the idea that he was made Corporal has lasted so long? I have just looked at Bullock's Parallel Lives incase I had missed something, but he too states that Hitler was made Corporal and exhibited incredible personal bravery (a reference to the supposed Iron Cross episode).
