If you ever experienced the fear of losing life, you would understand their feeling at that moment. Though I didn't say it is the best movie in the comedy genre I ever watched, it's one of the movies that had something that I like but can't explain what that was. But it was worth the watch.
    I hope they do a prequel.
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Well worth $14.50 to see at cinema.

    First half is ok and you start thinking it’s ok for a sequel then second half is real good. Don’t want to plot spoil so can’t say too much but the effort put into filming real flight shows.

    The Forgotten Battle

    sorry if this has been mentioned before. I'm not a big Netflix follower but stumbled on this excellent movie last night. I enjoy war movies and especially historically accurate ones based on true events, like this one is. It follows the lives of three people whose lives intersect at the closing days of the German occupation of Holland. You see the perspective from a British pilot, the daughter of a Dutch family and a German soldier who volunteered for the war but now regrets what his country is doing.

    Most refreshing this is not a USA made movie and there is no mention of America single handedly winning the war. The battle was fought by the Canadians and for once they get the credit, not the yanks. I would say the Dutch made this movie out of gratitude and respect to the Canadians that liberated them.

    Reminiscent of Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan at times. Does leave you emotionally upset and drained as it reminds you of the horrors the Nazis inflicted. Something I feel at times younger generations need to be reminded of. Pertinent with what is happening in Ukraine right now, history repeats as they say.

    A moving, suspenseful and well made film and nice that no 'big name' hero actors feature in it.

    Watched The Gentlemen on teh Netflix last night.

    Guy Ritchie movie in a similar vein to Lock, stock etc.

    Took me a wee while to get into it then it was like catching my tie in a lathe. Chaotic, violent, twisted and quirky.

    First movie that's held my attention to the end for a long time.

    Great sound track, too.

    Yup, carpet bombing is used a lot. Great cast, Hugh's role was refreshing, haven't seen him do anything other than rom coms.

    The pig played an excellent part, too.

    This film is loosely based on true events of 90’s where horrific robberies took place on the only land trans sport connection between China and Russia.
    Mandarin with English subtitles but well worth a theatre ticket.
    Characters are all interesting and well defined and lots of plot twist and double crossing.
    Epic car chase between a Lada Niva and Toyota Previa 🤣😂😀😂🤣 Really though it’s up there with Ronin for the chase sequences
    And lots of bike action too and the CGI stuff isn’t too bad. The shoot out scenes have great gunshots that were vibing the floor and seats.
    Expand your horizons and go watch

    POOR THINGS

    I loved this. Emma Stone is a really great actress. She might get another Oscar for this. Incredible. Great supporting cast, too: Mark Ruffalo is great (and does comedy really well) and Willem Defoe is fantastic.

    Migration

    Starring Kumail Nanjiani · and Tresi Gazal. Yeah, me neither. Nobody is going to get an Emmy for this, not even Danny DeVito.

    It passed some time and the kids liked it, but it's certainly no Minions, despite them heavily playing on the connection.
