Anthropoid (2016) - Cillian Murphy

Based on the true story of operation Anthroid in WWII. A Czech resistance group assassinated SS General Heydrich which unleashed a devastating attack by the Germans on the citizens of Prague to try and find out who assassinated Heydrich. There are a couple of older movies about this story that I haven't seen but I don't think they could be better than this one.

Have seen two natural disaster movies (i dont know why i like them, they dont even have to be particularly good to meet my, if not approval so at least acceptance). First 40 Days And Nights about a storm so big it covered the whole world. Humans built special big ships called arks to live on but they could only take a limited number. Ok but tried to go into to many directions but i liked it. Also The Impossible (Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor) about the Tsunami in Thailand. Probably a better movie, certainly better actors, but very centered around one familys destiny in the chaos that followed the event. I like my disaster movies to have a little bit of overview at least. So i actually enjoyed 40 Days more.

Under your bed
Saw Jennifer Jones die slowly, depressingly, in child birth before a grieving Rock Hudson in a gaudy fifties production of Papa's A Farewell to Arms. Didn't catch who directed. Didn't catch much, really, just that morbidly sad ending after a witching hour call to the john. Gettin on in years, you understand.

I mean, so I wake up, flick on the tv for light, and there's cute-as-a-button Jenny Jones in maternity clothes all beaming and bouncing on Rock's lap--I go take care of business (leave it to your imagination what number it was), by the time I'm back, they're feeding her ether and she's all falling apart. Doctors just mull about, shaking heads. One of em takes Hudson out to a pub for a pint. She's just wasting away, nobody knows what's up. I was about to hop inside the tube and perform a c-section my damn self. By the time they thought of that it was, of course, too late.

Next I awoke, Liz Taylor croaked on a drunken Van Johnson in a Scott Fitz adaption. Face Down in Paris or some such hugger mugger. By then I didn't care. Had to go make the doughnuts.

Saw Flu. A south Korean movie about a really nasty version of the birdflu that attacks seoul and threatens to spread across the country and the world. The bad guy is an american that will send in attack planes to to kill every man in town rather than let the virus spread. The South Korean president is not so fond of that idea. Ok. Rather similar to an american movie, Outbreak, i saw once but with a bigger human interest in the little girl and her mother that is in the center of the story.

Geez, just send the infected over the border into North Korea! Two problems solved! SwiftDog saves the day!

I love The Impossible. It is based on a true story (though the actual family was Spanish rather than English), so I think that's why it focuses on that one family rather than making a bigger statement about the tsunami. I also liked The Wave quite a lot. I'll have to look up 40 days! I do love a good apocalypse/disaster movie/book :)

Is that the one with the emergency services worker that makes friends with the little girl and ends up taking care of her and her mother after he rescues the mother's wallet (purse?) from her car that's in a hole in the street?

Robert Redford and Jane Fonda as the best-looking oldsters ever who want to sleep together without benefits. Just coz they're lonely. Nice performances by both, if a bit slow and predictable.

Funny, they were involved decades ago. I think their last prior film together was ... The Electric Horseman? Wow.

Nice profile pic -- you look like a teenager! Tell me you ain't photoshopping. It is a temptation. I tried to use it to remove my big dimple. It crashed so hard I lost months of data! Stupid. It was just too much, the program couldn't take it. If I had some of them NASA computers they use to chart Mars -- it might've worked. I should've just re-shot the pic & filled it in with silly putty. Or spackle.

Leave the dimple alone... it's very innocent, unassuming and in total contrast to the mischievous grin in your eye! :biggrin2:
(Holy moley, now I see why you're called grin! It's truly sad how long it took me to get that...)

No, I'm not photoshopping! Never been one to hide the truth.

Brazil, directed by Terry Gilliam. Full of captivating imagery, fun performances by all, and scathing dark comedy. 12 Monkeys has always been my favorite Gilliam film next to The Fisher King, but it looks like they have competition.
