If I had read about this movie before watching it I probably would have skipped it but I found it very rewarding.

Watching a WWII war movie directed by Spike Lee would be like watching a romantic high school comedy directed by David Lynch.

Don't bother.

I was going to say that these two were left out.

I really liked Iron Triangle because it focused on the Viet Cong side of the war.

I also liked 84 Charlie MoPic because while in high school I was thinking about what a 1st person POV Vietnam war movie would be like and then this came out on PBS. The end was really pretty good and had a great twist.

"Tour of Duty" was great, I really liked it and watched it through my high school years. I remember how they used "Paint it Black" in the opening credits but when I got the DVD version and saw it on USA Network, it was replaced with the instrumental theme. Not as good that way. I imagine their license to the Rolling Stones ran out. But there were alot of great scenes and story arcs...and a lot of actors getting their start including

-Kevin Conroy as CAPT Wallace (voiced the Joker in the Batman Animated Series)
-Angela Basset as a female officer who gets in a romantic scandal with an elisted man (played Tina Turner in What's Love Got to do With It, Mace in Strange Days, and most recently T'Challa's mother in Black Panther)
-Tia Carrere as a captured VC soldier (Played Cassandra, Wayne's girlfriend in Wayne's World and Wayne's World 2) and William Sadler (Death in Bill and Ted's, the villain in Die Hard 2) as an overzealous Major (both in the same episode! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZyh8McsB0I)

My favorite episode was episode 11 "Road Runner"where a USAF pilot was shot down and the platoon has to rescue him. The season finale "The Hill" was also a fave, as well as "Firebase Ladybird."

I saw two movies this weekend, and was fortunate because this time they both didn't suck. In fact, they were good:

1) "The Watch" -- Ben Stiller is hit and miss. Sometimes his movies are hilarious such as "Meet the Parents" or "There's Something about Mary," while other times they are crap such as "Zoolander." "The Watch" was surprisingly good, refreshing, and... most importantly, funny. I laughed quite a few times, which is a good sign. The other positive is the ending wasn't shoehorned in like many comedies do for the sake of needing an ending. Those who've watched many 80s comedy movies will know what I speak of, where many were guilty of coming up with some sudden problem that needs to be solved to give the film a purpose. Not here. The whole film is woven together and the ending fits. Good movie! *** 1/4 out of ****.

2) "The Dead Don't Die" -- This is a Jim Jarmusch movie, and is important to know before watching. Those who don't know his style will quickly discover one either loves his stuff... or hates it. The reviews on IMDB are no exception, and I took pause before hitting the play button. Peruse them and you will find rampant hate, disdain, and spiteful comments directed at the picture, but likewise you'll find many who love the movie. The rating itself on IMDB is only 5.5, which at quick glance means a pass for most folks. Don't. This movie was special. No, not only that, but exceptional. This was not simply a zombie movie, where people struggle to survive and fight the endless hordes of doom. No, this is a commentary on our zombie-like world, the good, the bad, the ugly. No political persuasion is safe. Jarmusch happily manages to take a dump on just about everyone, and it is beautiful; I laughed my arse off. This is a fantastic movie! Oh, as an added bonus... Bill Murray stars. Watch it! *** 1/2 out of ****. Criminally underrated on IMDB.

Thanks Blastman,I just watched The Dead Don't Die. What a super little film and so many great stars in it too. Guess I should check out more stuff from Jim Jarmusch.

Being a lifetime hardcore X-Files fan, the only part of that movie that was worth watching was the cameo with David Duchovny where he plays the former "hand model" who is in hiding. LOL

Watched this short film:



Worth the half an hour. Also lots of behind the scenes production stuff, almost like a mini film school.

Yes.

I will admit, however, I laughed at the gas station scene. The rest of the movie beyond these two parts... ugh.

"Camelot" made in 1967, renewed in 1995. The musical stage play put on the big screen -- in the real outdoor world. Excellent photography and staging keeps every scene interesting.

Very short fight scenes. This was about the mythical King Arthur's dreams and goals for England and how he made them come to pass -- and his magic sword Excalibur, his trusted knight Lancelot, Queen Guinevere and the wizard Merlin. Mostly spoken lines with very well done vocal songs at key points (as expected for a former musical stage play).

Of course, as most folks know, things did not turn out well in this mythical England. The movie plot shows/explains how & why in an entertaining way -- 3 Academy Awards.

I've seen many film and tv series adaptations of the Arthurian legend but I have not seen "Camelot".


As far as I'm concerned, nothing comes close to "Excalibur" by John Boorman.

Hey, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" does indeed count as a film adaptation of the Arthurian legend! smile

I'm still waiting for a musical version of the Bubonic Plague era in Europe. That would be interesting.
