To Be Or Not To Be (original version)
But the movie actually does portray what takes place in a military combat-support unit.
While itâs not âbased on a true storyâ . . . it can be classified as âhistorical fictionâ.
the audience is expected to laugh at situations that are clearly sexual harassment.
if there was a german ww2 comedy where they laughed at the last jew holding his breath in the gas chamber (in a really comedic way) would u find it offensive (that you are expected to laugh) enough to comment on it?
what if you were a jew watching it?
In the Heat of the Night
better than expected. Plot is a little loosy goosy, but thatâs how they made movies back then. Poiter reminds me of Denzel (or is it the other way around?)
Denzel is to me the closest current actor to Poitier
Hanks is Jimmy Stewart
Clooney is Cary Grant

harrison ford is john wayne
a bit more Error Flynn or Tyrone Power
Burt Lancaster - Tom Cruise
James Cagney - Hugh Jackman
Yes, but Jim Carrey does the best Jimmy Stewart impersonation

Good, abit more Redford, especially in A River Runs Through It
Wayne was a big man, who always conveyed size and strength. Always basically himself,but some great characters
I would say Tom Hardy or Chris Helmsworth
Thor. (The first one.)
Spiderman 3
Worst one of the initial trilogy.
(We saw No Way Home a few weeks ago and are now watching them in order. $4 apiece on Apple TV. Could be worse. Doing like one a week or two.
Falling for Figaro on Hulu I think. This stars Danielle Macdonald, from Dumplinâ and Patti Cake. She decides to give up a high profile job to try and become an opera singer. Wow, can she really sing. She was great in Patti Cake, but this is another level. Her voice teacher is really tough on her and she meets some interesting people along the way. I enjoyed this one a lot.
Eternals The next franchise in the MCU? It was OK, but Iâm growing weary of the genre. Still feel like I need to watch to stay up with things though.
The 355 at the theater. This was fun and the direction was pretty solid. The movie moves right along. The action scenes are well shot. I didnât find myself overly invested in the cast though. Not sure if it was the actual actors or the way the story was written.
Lady of the Manor This is a ghost comedy with Melanie Lynskey, Justin Long and Judy Greer. Pretty funny, but a bit silly. Lynskey is a drug runner/user and she ends up out on her own when one of Savanahâs leading familyâs sons finds her and offers her a job as a reenactment actor. She is supposed to play the Lady of the Manor. She then meets the real lady who is a ghost. Hilarity ensues.
I am Curious (Yellow) â 1967
What a weird movie. Like a movie-in-a-movie but itâs hard to discern which is which.
Swedish, so that explains the weirdness, and there is an âI am Curious (Blue)â accompanying film, which TCM doesnât appear to have the rights to show.
(Note: blue and yellow are the colors on the Sweden flag. Thanks, Sheldon!)
Might look normal to many in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The Tender Bar - It was ok. I just felt like I have seen similar stories many times before. I also felt that it lacked depth of the story, that there was a lot more going on we didnât know about. Well done and well acted, just didnât grab me.
