Was in a mood the other day…

Battlestar Galactica, the tv movie(first 2 episodes) that started it all

Battlestar Galactica, the 3 hour tv miniseries that started the reboot series

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome

Which one was the really bad one? Galactica 80 or something? Had a  new cast and took place on Earth in 1980. It’s so bad it has to be watched to be seen. I haven’t seen that one in ages. Need to find it just to see if I can sit thru an episode. Kent McCord from Adam 12 was in it.

Yeah, Galactica 80 was pretty bad. I hardly even remember it. The only thing I do remember aside from them making it to Earth is having motorcycles that after flipping a switch or two…could fly.

Couldn’t remember if I had posted this one or not…

The Three Musketeers: D'artagnan (2023,French production,)



Now then…
The Three Musketeers:Milady (2024)

Also…

Andor
pretty good and simple. Looking forward to season 2

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes 
Good movie with some references to the original. The ending isn’t exactly a cliffhanger but leaves you wondering how the next movie will go. 

Ghostbusters Afterlife 
Very good flick with plenty of references to the original. Loved the mid credits scene.
A much better movie than the previous try.

Civil War
It kinda makes you think some, lots of language and a few graphic moments.


I’m sure there is something else but that is most recent.

The Fugitive
Always enjoy this movie. Have been wanting to see the original tv series and found seasons 3&4 on Pluto. If they did it right, they could remake the show.

I watched both of these trailers and the movies look like they would be quite good.
Did you watch them in French with the English subtitles or were they dubbed into English?

Watched them with subtitles, and yes they were quite good.

Still plowing thru Gunsmoke. Maybe an episode a night. Up to the color episodes I think season 12.

Wow, that's impressive.  Especially since they did like 24+ episodes a season back then.

Flags of our Fathers
It is a great movie yet like most it puts me off nowadays with all the language.

Letters from Iwo-Jima
Another great movie, yet this one is free of any bad language.

Evidently we are so different from Japanese culture in our language.

Sound of Freedom

The Truman Show
Haven't watched this in years, and was quite entertained by it.

I'm not Topshot, but I did see this movie, last year back when it was in theaters.

Production, and acting-wise I thought it was really good quality work (professional looking).
Story-wise it was incredibly sad and heartbreaking (and a bit uplifting). I had a hard time not crying a few times.

Winter's Bone (2010).  An earlier dramatic film featuring Jennifer Lawrence of Hunger Games fame.  This was a very moody and depressing movie about a very rural teen taking car of her feeble minded mother and younger siblings as her meth-cooking father has disappeared.  Very slow, but comes off as a higher quality indie style film.  I can see why Lawrence got so much praise for this role.  I think she was only 19 during the filming of this flick (and she looks 16), but she does a great job with the few emotional scenes in this movie.  I was excited to see Gerrit Dillahunt and Dale Dickey play minor supporting roles in this film.  IMO they are fantastic supporting actors who bring an authenticity to any film or show they grace.

... and he did a decent job.
It's disgusting this is so prevalent in our world. I don't care why someone is in prison when I minister to them (I don't ask or look it up), child sex offenders are the most vilified amongst the prison population because even criminals have their own code of morality it seems.

Now that made me literally laugh out loud! 

Tron
Tron Legacy

A  French serie with all kinds of interesting things over the Alps.
Some weeks ago it was over avalanches.

Still blazing thru Gunsmoke but took a break and now watching a show on Paramount called Tracker. It’s pretty cool. Kind of reminds me of Magnum PI but takes place in the wilderness/mountains instead of Hawaii. 3 episodes in.

I'm watching a show on Paramount with my wife called "Ghost" (it's a comedy, and kind of cute).  I saw a preview for "Tracker" and meant to give it a try myself.  A Magnum PI similar style show sounds like it could be pretty cool.

WE just finished up the first part of this season of Cobra Kai.  The next part starts Nov. 15.

Pulled out a couple of documentaries that I hadn’t seen in a while.

Ghosts of the abyss
A doc from James Cameron and Bill Paxton .After completing the movie Titanic they voyage down to see the actual wreck of the ship.

Jerusalem

Working my way through Bones again. Also just started Black Sheep Squadron.

Early Birdis is the name of a serie over nature in my country.
I like it.

Dune Part 2 (2024?)  Not terrible IMO, but just not amazing.  I think the acting was pretty good, even if I'm not much of a Chalamet or Zendaya fan.  But they belabored the story a bit too long.  Between the first film and this one the saga is over 5 hours long.  Like I said the acting was pretty good, and for the most part it seemed to follow the novel (from what I can remember anyway).  Overall, it was better than the 1984 attempt at the story by David Lynch.  There is just so much involved in the story that I think it would have lent itself better to a 13 episode season rather than trying to cram it all into one or two movies.
