Ponderous Personal Projects

Saturday night is family movie night.

Title:	Transformers: Revenge of the fallen
Director:	Michael Bay
Score:	1082 + 8200 + 1 zilliard
Dad thinks:	Action good. Plot meh.

The chronological war movies were a bit of a hurdle, but we now resume our original programming, after a brief hiatus.

Lots of catching up to do!

Title:	Grabbers
Director:	John Wright
Score:	4/6
ObCrush:	Ruth Bradley

Ok, so the war is now over.  That was a tough one.  I have to say that this story-chronological war-movie-watching is not a project I can recommend anyone undertake.  Anyway I feel I should provide my millions of readers with a watch-list:

• U-571: Intense suspense.
• Indigénes: A moving take on a forgotten story.
• The Longest day: Probably the best WW2 flick ever.

 Yeah, okay, that’s it.  Watch those three.

Title:	Die Brücke
Director:	Bernhard Wicki
Score:	4/6
Chronology:	May1945

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Title:	The Bridge at Remagen
Director:	John Guillermin
Score:	5/8
Chronology:	March 1945

Ooooh!

Title:	Battle of the Bulge
Director:	Ken Annakin
Score:	1/6
Chronology:	December 1944 (but not really)

I was going to replay some WW2 FPSes, but I’ve run into a problem!

Title:	A Bridge Too Far
Director:	Richard Attenborough
Score:	4/6
Chronology:	September 1944

Oof…

Title:	Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed
Director:	Ryan Little
Score:	1/6
Chronology:	August 1944

Not the only movie to tackle D-day.  This has the awesomest scene, though.

  

Title:	The Longest Day
Director:	Ken Annakin Andrew Marton Bernhard Wicki
Score:	6/6
Chronology:	June 6, 1944

I can recommend this.  Quite slow and … contemplative.  Is that a word?

Title:	Overlord
Director:	Stuart Cooper
Score:	4/6
War movies:	They’re back!

A documentary about people who think yesterday’s film is awesome.

Title:	Best Worst Movie
Director:	Michael Stephenson
Score:	4/6
War movies:	They’re making a comeback!
