This was a well made WWII movie, made in Japan from the Japanese POV.

Amazing they (Captain Oba along with 46 Japanese soldiers and 200 civilians) were able to elude capture for over a year.

There were times the U.S. Marines were within 20 feet of them and fail to see them.

The last film I saw that fit that description was "Letters from Iwo Jima". Hard to believe that movie came out 14 years ago.

For your eyes Only. Great Bond film. Moore's 2nd best to the Spy who love Me.

Octopussy. This was too long and the story is confusing.

Mr. Holmes with Ian McKellen as Sherlock Holmes, fighting old age and a deteriorating mind.


Good story, and McKellen is perfect for the part.

Cheers,

I loved Mr Holmes and I'm not really a Sherlock Holmes fan.

Continuing the Bond films:

Roger Moore A view to a kill. I like Moore but he was truly showing his age with his leathery face: did they have Botox back then? Tanya Roberts must be the worse Bond girl in the entire series along with Miss Goodnight in the Man with the golden gun and Rosie in Live and let die and dont forget, Denise Richards.

Timothy Dalton in 2 Bond films. I just never got the Bond feel from his movies especially License to kill. Also in the beginning of the Living Daylights, I always had a problem with it. Bond is fighting the KGB killer in the jeep, they drive off the cliff, the jeep is on fire, Bond parachutes out of it and the jeep explodes in the air. Bond lands on the yacht with the girl on the phone complaining it's boring there, there is nothing but playboys and tennis players, if only she can find a real man.

???

There is no way she couldn't have heard the explosion of the jeep and see pieces of it landing into the ocean water around her. Only explanation is there is alot of distance between the jeep and the yacht in miles, which means Bond was floating around in his parachute for a long time but that also means the cliff the jeep drove off was really high but didn't look it.

Pierce Brosnan in his first Bond film, Goldeneye. This is a good film. After several years with no Bond in the movies, they did good. Got a good actor to play Bond and got a good script. What happen to the girl? The good Bond girl Symianova. I never seen her in anything else.

I do have a question: the Russian general and Onatopp land at the Severnaya facility in the helicopter when the computer geek was outside smoking. The geek is seen later with Onatopp. How did he leave Severnaya? There are only 2 seats in the helicopter. Did the helicopter come with a suitcase compartment in the body?

Next: Tomorrow never dies. Brosnan's second Bond film.

Dalton's films came out at the wrong time. Audiences at the time wanted more of the "tongue in cheek" style of Roger Moore.

Wonder if Dalton did Goldeneye would he have found the right balance.

I am watching this right now. I don't think in 1941 they had the word Weapons of Mass Destruction.

But it's a good movie. The submarines look real and not CGI. The interior of the submarines also look real. Greasy, dirty, rusted, leaking, squeaky, creaky, wet, damp, not clean and shiny and spacious like you see in Hollywood world war 2 submarines movies.

Not many in Belgium either, this is the first I've heard of it smile

Last submarine program I watched is the remake of Das Boot and the Nat Geo hell under the sea series but what we got was all jumbled up and out of sequence.

Edit: Only the MP3 of the soundtrack available here, regional restrictions again and not available in the country it was made!

Futureman, Season 3 brings the story to an adequate end.

Okay, Seth Rogen humor isn't for everybody, and I suppose it can be enough of a turn-off for some to ditch the whole series. Also, it is very silly.

That being said, it also is IMO a rather clever show that addresses pretty much any chliché of a science-fiction story that has the most unlikely guy from the street cast into a life-threatening adventure to save the world, and become a hero in the process. Above all, it's willing to use time travel "seriously" - that is, normally authors of time travel stories either tell the story of a self-sustaining paradoxical loop (the original Terminator is a perfect example for this). Or, said authors put in all kinds of silly restrictions that make no sense whatsoever except as safety railings to that the story doesn't get out of control. IOW, the authors want to do a swim but they don't want to get wet.
No such thing in Futureman. They kick away the safety wedges under the tires with gusto, dive in with the time travel and curiously explore where it will take them. They just show what happens if you give time travel free reign (mayhem, chaos, and hilarity). What's more, each season is very different from the others. It is a rare thing that a show's concept works well in one first season and then they have the guts to use a different concept in the next, and the talent to maintain the same level of quality.

So, if you can handle Seth Rogen (be it that you can gloss over his humor, or that you actually love it), it's highly recommended. With Season 3 it's over, each episode is just about 20 minutes, and I'm glad I took the time to watch it. But not everybody will like the at times cringeworthy humor.

No more Tiger makes me sad frown

Futureman was a good series,right up my alley in fact.

Luckily,I have 'What We Do In The Shadows' to watch. Currently on season 2,if you like the mocumentary style.

The Intruder (1953) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048211/ 1953 World War II film directed by future 4 Bond films (one of them Goldfinger) director Guy Hamilton.

Many World War II films made after the war ended couldn't get authentic equipment. I think the tanks in this film are really from World War II. The film begins in a scrap yard in England where workers are turning 200-300 tanks into tractors.

I recognize Shermans. I don't know what the big ones with the vent on top of the back in the last 3 screens. are.

The last three are Cromwell tanks, out of which the Comet series was developed. They share a similar looking hull but the Comet has a partially cast turret while the Cromwell's turret has straight plates and these monstrous and highly distinctive studs. (Note that there's also a variant called Centaur with an engine of about half the power output which wasn't used for frontline service.)

Reading on the Cromwell, it had so many design and engine and armament and performance trouble during early production making it outdated already, it's wonder it ever saw combat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromwell_tank

While reading that, it led to the Crusader tanks. Why is this painted Orange. For North Africa? Shouldn't it be sandy?
