Quote from: edzWent and saw " Danger Close "  the Long Tan battle movie this morning .. For a first showing, Only about twenty people in the theatre,  not a box office busting start..
All I can say is it falls short in its portrayal in a lot of ways . Its an ok movie that just didnt hit the mark for me though,  after reading / seeing the battle  documented over the years .
I reckon it portrays some people in a bad light and I dont reckon they or their relatives would be too happy ..But thats movie dramatic licence  ..
I dont really take much notice of movie reviews... much better to hear from non reviewers...

Rambo last blood .. Liked the first one way back, the 15 in between I couldnt watch, But reckon this last one was pretty Bloody good, yeah yeah predictable story line and all that,  but found it was enjoyable to watch ..
Maybe I identify with the Improvise Adapt Overcome and Persevere ending just a little  ;D

We went and watched the Oz movie, Judy and Punch at an independent cinema.
A bit off beat, 3 out of 5 for us.

Rocket Man - Elton John story was absolutly brilliant

John Wick 3 - Absolute rubbish no real story just fight after fight after fight that somehow he keeps on winning after going for 48 hours straight

Watched Angel Has Fallen on the weekend. Plenty of action but pretty lame plot which I guess is to be expected with most movie franchises.

That's great. That usually means that the movie is worth watching  :cup:

I have lost count of the amount of movies that I have seen that received great reviews that were absolute rubbish

Just watched an old war time movie - The Train..

About the French Resistance working against the Germans....
In real life - those resistance people must have had nerves of titanium.

For anyone who watches SBS World Movies, and doesn't need to see people getting shot every 5 minutes to enjoy a film - 'The Straight Story' is a ripper.

Same channel, for kids 5-14 or so - 'Operation Arctic'.

Was a 3 1/2 hr film. I watched it over 2 sittings.  Could see that some would think is slow. I didn't mind it. Would watch it again,  over 2 sessions.
