The Man from Nowhere is one of my favs. but it is not new and has subtitles. But has some excellent fight scenes such as the one below...

Excited for The Foxcatcher.
I'm not it is a horrible story. From the abortive attempt to start a Div. 1 wrestling program at Villanova till the finality of Dave Schulz's murder. My father lives right down the road from where it all happened. The estate which was beautiful is now tract housing. I used to get the life beat out of me by some of the foxcatcher team members.

While it is a sad story, it's one that needs to be told on the big screen. Also good publicity for D1 wrestling. Looks like they did good with the story too and honoring to the Schultz brothers. Sad story all around.

Haven't seen the movie, but the book was pretty good, if you ignore Bryson's hatred and phobia of hillbillies and Little Debbies. ;D

Update. I've viewed several flicks lately. Some new. Some old.
The Shallows: no bueno. Unrealistic.
Nerve: so-so. Sort of teeny-bopperish.
The Purge 1,2 & 3: Ok. Some poor acting, butI like the premise.
Tarzan: Little slow. Ok movie.
Suicide Squad: I liked this movie. Action-packed. Something different.
Jarhead: Old movie. Little bit slow. Not as much blowing up and shooting as I expected.
10 Cloverfield Lane: Something unique. I liked this.

Muddy you always reminded me of the Piltdown man in many ways!
Prison Break -- Terrible acting.
13 Hours -- TF, how accurate is that portrayal? Entertaining.
127 Hours -- Good flick. Made me think of many of us who venture into the nowheres alone. Shit happens quickly.
Don't Breathe -- Loved it.
Ample TV time lately with the sick little one. I need fresh air.

Yes. I forgot to add that one. Sully was pretty good as well.
Little side info on the 127 hrs dude. He set himself up for that shit. He had lost a lot of friends/climbing partners through the years bc he put them in risky situations. He also made bold claims, like seeing a Wolfpack in Central Colorado, which is a good ways from wolf country.

Fire in the Sky - Old, but I liked it.
Interstellar - Ehhhh, so-so.
Daddy's Home - Decent. Certain parts were funny.
Saw John Wick 2. Liked it.
I'm headed to several Civil War battlefields next week with the National Park Service to monitor some streams, so I've been re-watching The Civil War, Ken Burns for the last few days. The series never gets old even on a revisit.

You always pick up on some new minutia when you re-watch or reread something. This go-around with Ken Burns was no exception.
I never realized, or thought about, the two sides calling on the same deity for assistance, and trusting that deity was on their side. It just seems odd to me.
The Revenant - I enjoyed this movie. Loved the wilderness throughout the movie. Montana, Canada, and Argentina were all parts of this flick. Not sure how closely this movie adheres to the actual truth, but it was entertaining.
That bear attack was amazing

Pretty good scene. Ol' boy had a pretty hard ride throughout the whole movie.
Best scene in the movie.
http://youtu.be/t12tiQ3o4YU
Yeah, The Revenant was a cool movie. Wore me out watching it. It was very loosely based on facts, but the scenery, bear attack, time-period costumes, etc. were all amazing.
I read somewhere that Jim Bridger's descendants weren't happy about the way he was portrayed, but that part of the story was accurate. The young Bridger did leave Glass to die.
I recently watched Manchester by the Sea and if you have kids, have brothers, have ever been married, have friends or have a pulse I'd say it will hit you hard in the gut.
I really liked the Revenant, too. I have always been fascinated with the Hugh Glass story. When I found out they were making a movie about it, I was stoked. Then I found out that DiCaprio was playing Hugh Glass and I was pissed, because I hate DiCaprio. I will have to admit that he did a good job, though. I was pleasantly surprised.
As for historical accuracy, the original ordeal that Glass went through was probably even worse than the movie made it out. He had a badly broken leg at first, too. He did not have a son with him in real life. And he did not kill Fitzgerald, because he had enlisted in the Army by the time Glass caught up with him and his commanding officer threatened to hang Glass if he went after him.

I didn't like the Revenant - it took a lot of liberties with what has been passed on in tales and written record.
There are a lot of good Hugh Glass written stories - some wind themselves into novels, others claim to stick to the record. Some I've read and still have on my bookshelf are:
Give Your Heart To The Hawks- A Tribute to the Mountain Men - Winfred Blevins - Brilliantine Books
This Reckless Breed of Men - Robert Glass Cleland - Knopf / Borzoi Books
Tales of The Mountain Men - Edited by Lamar Underwood - Lyons Press
The lives of Mountain Men - Bill Harris - Lyons Press
The Mountain Men - George Lycock - Lyons Press
Probably the best movie that uses the Hugh Glass story as an anchor is Man in the Wilderness (1971)

Although I am a huge fan of Richard Harris (see youtube below for laugh), and I enjoyed The Man in the Wilderness, I don't agree with Al.
In the Revenant there was attention to detail, realism and absolute beauty. Plus the guns were right – a couple of freaky loading or not loading/firing scenes, but the guns were correct for the period. Add this type of period accuracy to the use of natural light makes The Revenant an amazing feeling movie -- immersing the viewer in imaginary sensations. This atmosphere may only be available on the big screen. I've seen the movie multiple times at home and it remains entertaining, but it ain't even close to the multiple times I saw it at the theater.

He likes Seinfeld, Longmire, and Justified. Got a pass from me. But then again, I probably watch the least amount of movies on this board. Wife bought me Revenant for Christmas, a movie I actually want to see, and it is still in the plastic wrap on the movie shelve. I haven't watched a movie that wasn't kid related with daughter yet this year. Ain't nobody got time for that.

I totally agree with you. The end is kind of depressing and there are some gaps, but it is well done.
Unrelated... If you are a military history buff, go see Dunkirk. It is very good. I really hate military themed flicks that are overloaded with special effects that lack realism and take liberties with History. I'd say this rates right up there with The Great Raid.
Wonder Woman
Kong
47 Meters Down
The Shallows
Get Out
The Infiltrator
Memento
Some new, some old. I liked Kong.

Go see Dunkirk.
We were probably the youngest couple in the theater yesterday afternoon.
The wife wanted more character development. She wanted more American Hollywood-style war movie. I thought it was done well.
I read an article about how the movie is full of defeat.
It is not.
It displays some of the harsh realities of war and the human condition - good and evil.
I have never been to war. I have never served in the armed forces. I am grateful to all of my family and friends over the years who have. I have a great respect for the warrior spirit in the men whom I know and the women who have supportrd, and many of them lost, those men.
Dunkirk portrays soldiers.
Dunkirk portrays non-American soldiers at war -getting beaten yet not giving up. The fact that it is about British and French warfare in WWII is unique to the modern era and much needed.
It is full of grit, determination, will to survive - if only to fight another day; it is full of the desire to see home, to see victory.
It is full of hope.
Bravo review. Everything I've heard, also.

It displays some of the harsh realities of war and the human condition - good and evil.
I have never been to war. I have never served in the armed forces. I am grateful to all of my family and friends over the years who have. I have a great respect for the warrior spirit in the men whom I know and the women who have supportrd, and many of them lost, those men.
Dunkirk portrays soldiers.
Dunkirk portrays non-American soldiers at war -getting beaten yet not giving up. The fact that it is about British and French warfare in WWII is unique to the modern era and much needed.
It is full of grit, determination, will to survive - if only to fight another day; it is full of the desire to see home, to see victory.
It is full of hope.
Yep. This is accurate. After you serve you tend to shoot holes in Hollywood war films. You find inaccuracies in everything from weapons to uniforms and equipment. They overdo the special effects to raise the drama. Not the case here. Damn accurate film and well done. Like I said in an earlier comment, it's probably the best one since The Great Raid. That remains my favorite, but Dunkirk is awesome.
Apparently this guy appreciated the movie. He is a survivor of Dunkirk.
Quote"It didn't have a lot of dialogue. It didn't need any of the dialogue because it told the story visually and it was so real."
The movie Dunkirk tells the terrifying story of the evacuation of allied troops from the French city of Dunkirk. It's thrilling entertainment for most viewers, but for just a handful of people in the world, it contains images that bring back memories of surviving Dunkirk.
"I was in those little boats picking them out of the water," Sturdy said.
He was a 20-year-old signal man with the Royal Navy helping evacuated soldiers reach waiting boats from the chaos on the beach.
"I had the privilege of seeing that film tonight and I am saddened by it because of what happened on that beach," Sturdy said.

We went and saw The Current Wars last night and although I thought it would be a nerdy or geeky movie it turned out to be quite entertaining as Edison, Westinghouse, and Tesla battle to bring their conflicting ideas on how the county should be electrified. Although a bit disjointed because it covers so much discovery and invention in such a short movie, the main characters strong personalities make a dramatic tension that culminates with the winning bid to electrify the Chicago Worlds Fair.
The movie has several dramatic flashback scenes one of which involves Westinghouse's encounter with a Confederate soldier, reminding us how little time has past since the end of that bloody conflict!
I give it 4 lightbulbs!

Just watched The Trail of the Chicago 7 on NF https://www.netflix.com/title/81043755 and was taken back in time to the late sixties. I was on Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands during the trial and all the news we got was from Armed Forces Radio. Upon returning to the states in 1970 I became caught up in the counter culture of the time and became an anti-war protester and followed the news about the Yippies and SDS and all the sit-ins and demonstrations. Turbulent times for sure.
The file is well produced and very engaging with historical footage intertwined with the recreated Chicago demonstrations. It would be impossible to translate the six month long trial into a two hour film but they do an admiral job recreating the courtroom drama.

Creature From Black Lake.
Star rating's are not always a good indicator. At 2 1/2 stars, I found this extremely interesting and pertinent during these times of viral spread.
"The film tells the story of Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey), an AIDS patient diagnosed in the mid 1980s when HIV/AIDS treatments were under-researched, while the disease was not understood and highly stigmatized"

Full on pandemic binge mode led me to Netflix's Manhunt Deadly Games
https://youtu.be/jbMy1vedRLk
Its 10 episodes cover's the whole Atlanta bombing, Richard Jewel, Eric Rudolph saga.
I thought it was very well done until they got into the militia in the Nantahala -- they had enough to make it interesting without all this fictional involvement protecting and then joining in on the manhunt for Eric.
So after watching that I followed up with Clint Eastwood's movie, Richard Jewel
https://youtu.be/gSMxBLlA8qY
now I'm a Hollywood expert on the subject. At the end of the NF series it mentioned the Eric wrote a 243 page account of how he evaded the FBI for five and a half years. A quick search revealed that it's online as a pdf.
https://www.armyofgod.com/EricRudolphPDFLinesOfDrift10_23_13Final.pdf
It's an interesting read and covers the ground that he traveled, camped and hid out in, as well as his early life growing up. It is filled with his political and moral views but those chapters can be skimmed over or ignored.
I converted the PDF to mobi to read on the kindle... pm if you want that format

It's interesting for a while but after the first 6 months his tale begins to become unbelievable.
I skipped over most of his political and moral writings as they aim to justify his crime.

OK - this one is a little out there and not in the same ball park as most (all?) of the previously mentioned excellent movies, but try "Soul" on Disney+ if you get it. This isn't a kid's movie IMHO, but a thought provoking and musically cool way to spend some time. Like Bagger Vance was really about the Bhagavad Gita, and Ground Hog day was about Karma Yoga, ths one examines the Bardo for all you Tibetan Book of the Dead fans. Not a fan? That's OK, I think you will find this unique movie interesting at the very least and worth the time.
Or not. You hold the controller after all. My $.02.

New film chronicles environmental 'outlaw' Ken Sleight's fight to restore Glen Canyon
"The Unfinished Fight of Seldom Seen Sleight" will be screened for free online Tuesday.
>>>When river runner, wilderness guide and legendary environmental provocateur Ken Sleight tells his life story, he likes to start at the beginning.
"I'm a farm boy from Paris," he often says. "Paris, Idaho."
Sleight grew up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but when he uses words like "temples," "paradise" or "heaven" now, at the age of 91, it refers to an earthly fold of the Colorado Plateau, a place he first visited in 1955, named Glen Canyon.
As one of the few commercial outfitters to guide rafts through Glen Canyon prior to its submersion under Lake Powell in the 1960s, Sleight remains haunted by the lost beauty of a place that few non-native Americans experienced as a flowing river.
"I don't understand human thinking — to destroy temples, cathedrals," Sleight says in the opening sequence of a new film by Sageland Media, "The Unfinished Fight of Seldom Seen Sleight."
https://www.sltrib.com/news/2021/01/10/new-film-chronicles/
"The Unfinished Fight of Seldom Seen Sleight'' will be screened for free at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 12, by the Utah Film Center. Doug Fabrizio of KUER's Radio West will moderate a question-and-answer session after the screening featuring filmmakers and others. The film will only be available for viewers who tune in during the livestream event. Visit https://www.utahfilmcenter.org/event/the-unfinished-fight-of-seldom-seen-sleight/ for more information and to pre-order the livestream.

Ken Burns Hemingway premiers 4/5/21

Tune in or Stream Monday, April 5 at 8/7c
Hemingway, a three-part, six-hour documentary film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, examines the visionary work and the turbulent life of Ernest Hemingway, one of the greatest and most influential writers America has ever produced. Interweaving his eventful biography — a life lived at the ultimately treacherous nexus of art, fame, and celebrity — with carefully selected excerpts from his iconic short stories, novels, and non-fiction, the series reveals the brilliant, ambitious, charismatic, and complicated man behind the myth, and the art he created.
I am pissed at Ken Burns for his treatment of the Vietnam War but I already have his Hemingway keyed up with the DVR

Good one about some top notch scam artists.

Scams scams scams. A movie about the Sackler family is needed. Tammy Faye was a conspicuous person whom most know much about, but the Sackler family is a different matter.
20 years from now, I suspect retrospectives will be produced on the whole child transgender scam.

One of the greatest inventions of all time. A sextant will tell you your approxamate latuide when measured a dusk and dawn, but you need that clock to determine exactly where you are.
Went to my first Movie since the pandemic hit.

Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle, a movie was released in 2021 and won many awards at film festivals.
It's a fictionalized account of Hiroo Onoda, one of the last holdouts Japanese soldiers of WWII. He didn't surrender until his former commander was flown into the Philippine Island of Lubang to issue direct orders to Onoda. When he finally returned to Japan he was treated as a hero.

Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle is only available with a UK ip address and streamed through vimeo, so fire up your VPN to watch it.

But he was no hero to the people of Lubang
Watch this 9-minute trailer for the documentary Searching for Onoda, which, I think, is still in production.

Caught up on some movie watching and hit the jackpot.
This one far exceeded my expectations. Highly entertaining, and some very well written serious lines as well. No Western contrived PC bullshit here.

The Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer
(https://static01.nyt.com/images/2023/07/18/opinion/17bird1/17bird1-superJumbo.jpg?quality=75&auto=webp)
One day in the spring of 1954, J. Robert Oppenheimer ran into Albert Einstein outside their offices at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J. Oppenheimer had been the director of the institute since 1947 and Einstein a faculty member since he fled Germany in 1933. The two men might argue about quantum physics — Einstein grumbled that he just didn't think that God played dice with the universe — but they were good friends.
Oppenheimer took the occasion to explain to Einstein that he was going to be absent from the institute for some weeks. He was being forced to defend himself in Washington, D.C., during a secret hearing against charges that he was a security risk, and perhaps even disloyal. Einstein argued that Oppenheimer "had no obligation to subject himself to the witch hunt, that he had served his country well, and that if this was the reward she [America] offered he should turn his back on her." Oppenheimer demurred, saying he could not turn his back on America. "He loved America," said Verna Hobson, his secretary who was a witness to the conversation, "and this love was as deep as his love of science."
"Einstein doesn't understand," Oppenheimer told Ms. Hobson. But as Einstein walked back into his office he told his own assistant, nodding in the direction of Oppenheimer, "There goes a narr," or fool.

Sounds good. Wish I was closer. Enjoy!
Due to logistics we settled for the lower quality imax at the Palladium in high point
The film was awesome and the 3 hour runtime (plus 30 for previews) went by quickly — never needed to look and see how much time was remaining - two thumbs up — it's a must see for 2023 and I'm certain that it will be nominated for several academy awards!
A masterpiece of film making!

Was there an intermission? My fear with such a long show is that I'd miss too much traveling to the restroom 3 or 8 times because I "thought" I had to take a pee. 😬

No intermission — I think those are relics of the past.
