Super 8. Not what I expected at all.

About the hotel chain?
I'd like to see that.

Same here, but from what I remember, I liked it.

Tombstone again. Val Kilmer is great as Doc Holliday and Sam Elliot could read a phone book and be a hit.

Hold Your Man (1933) with Jean Harlow and Clark Gable. Lots of snappy wise cracks. Gable had no mustache in this one.
Critic's Choice (1963) with Bob Hope and Lucille Ball. Drama critic Bob's wife Lucy writes a play and domestic sparks fly. Hope and Ball actually dial back their performances and it's enjoyable. Soupy Sales plays a hotel clerk.

55 Days At Peking! (1963)

Usually I'm a sucker for "war epics" but this one left me flat. I've NEVER been able to finish the whole thing. I guess I've lost my taste for films glorifying naked Colonialism.

You're not alone: I find it turgid and uninvolving. I've tried to watch it a bunch of times over the years and given up repeatedly. Which definitely isn't the case with Zulu, Khartoum, The Sand Pebbles, etc.

Khartoum is an under appreciated one - that said, I haven't seen it in ten or more years, so maybe I'm one of those who under appreciates it.

One of my favorites, though it does bog down here and there.

Watched a few films on the plane to and from Beijing last week. One that might appeal to Loungers with a grasp of Mandarin was a Chinese film called The ****** Vanishes. Set during the post-Imperial/pre-Revolution republican period in China, probably mid to late twenties, assuming the Western fashions portrayed are accurate, it looks utterly stunning. Sadly, there was no English lanuguage track so I was unable to follow it. The other one that might be of interest to some round here was Rush, the story of the rivalry between F1 drivers James Hunt and Nikki Lauda during the early years of their careers. Significantly better than I anticipated: Hunt is far from airbrushed, being played very much as the ******* *** that he was, nor do they shy away from the fact that Hunt's 1976 Championship win was off the back of other people having lost (most particularly Lauda, who missed several races after his accident) rather than having genuinely bested all comers. Those things aside, it's a very nicely crafted film. Surprisingly subtle character piece compared to what else I've seen Ron Howard churn out over the years.

+1

"I'll be your Huckleberry..... Come,
Dahlin' let us seek our entertainment elsewheah." I agree. Kilner was excellent in that role.

Heck, so were all the cast in that flick For that matter. A great movie!

The last half of the horrible flick, Con Air. The soundtrack, the dialog, Nick Cage oh so much sobad.

 

[hatguy1]

Makes me think of another Nicholas Cage dog of a movie from 1990, "Firebirds." Our local movie critic tagged that one best; "Just turn the sound off and enjoy the great flying scenes."

On Saturday the missus and I saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier and we liked it very much. I thought the "Winter" referred to Cap, what with having been frozen and all. There was a little too much car crashes and chases, and too much breaking glass.
