Sloths move faster than this thing. I would've bailed many times, but then it got to be a matter of stubbornness. It wasn't going to beat me.

While the premise of the movie was interesting (and I've seen variations of this in other movies and TV shows), this entry was boring, disjointed and really dumb.

Big names in this too.

Dunkirk (2017)

I bought the 4k blu-ray and I'm glad I have impact windows in my living room or the sound may have pulverized my windows. :) This 4k disc is magnificent.

One of the things that I really like about this movie is that Chris Nolan cast all young guys as the soldiers. Most WWII movies you see have 30+ year old guys playing 18-20 year olds but this movie has 18 year olds playing these soldiers and that just adds to the impact when you realize that these were just kids in this battle.

Grindhouse: Death Proof

Tarantino is one weird dude. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of what I see of him personally. Of course, this is him in front of the camera or microphone. Playing his own part as "Tarantino," so he may be totally different in private. But I don't know his real life. I do believe he is very smart and very interesting. Just don't touch me you icky little bastard.

I find his films fascinating. He takes that road less travelled and challenges the status quo. HIs creative choices tickle me. I like that.

Apparently Tarantino thinks Death Proof is his worst film. I love it. I love the old drive-in quality of it. The sound of it. The mimicking of skipped scenes and scratchy film. The dated way it's presented. I spent a lot of time in drive-ins, lots of memories with the style.

I love Kurt Russell stepping out of his pretty boy roles to be this guy. Not what you expect from the computer who wore tennis shoes.

The first set of girls are my favorite. The victims. While the second set of girls are the victorious gladiators, they just don't deliver the same quality of performance in my mind. Their set-up is bad. But Kurt comes through in both stories. He is introduced and showcased in the first story and more the ominous presence in the second.

Saw First Man. Very thoughtful portrayal of Neil Armstrong. Still wondering why they didn't show the planting of the American flag. Also got see Venom. Not really into superhero/villian movies. But Tom Hardy is in it so........... had to. Good fun all the same.
They claim it’s because it an “international accomplishment”, or something along those lines. Because screw historical accuracy, amiright?

They are two separate films billed as a Double Feature.

They sell this movie two ways. You can get the original theatrical version that is both movies together as one double feature drive-in with fake theatrical trailers or you can buy them as stand alone movies. The stand alone movies are a little longer. The double feature versions were shorter to keep the running time down under 4 hours.
