They Shall Not Grow Old
Peter Jackson, working with the BBC and 600 hours of film footage of WWI from the British view and mostly in the trenches.
My son and I went to see it and it's done very very well, and the work done to restore the footage and the colorization is done tastefully. They used actual voice over story telling from WWI veterans that had been recorded in the 60's-70's.
9.5 out 10 for me

Blood from the Mummy's Tomb 1971- I had never seen this Hammer so I gave it a go. It was ok, but I'm always confused when there's no "mummy" in a mummy movie. Valerie Leon is easy on the eyes. 6.5/10

Captain Marvel...I give it an 8 out of 10. It's not the Captain Marvel of Thanos fame/stories...as long as you put that in your head before you go to see the movie you will be fine. GREAT Soundtrack too."When not too many people can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears,
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Isn't it a pity".

Captain Marvel: B+/A-. My only issue (aside from 25 minutes of previews) is that it's an origin story, so it does have to check certain boxes. And, if it were a stand-alone movie outside of Marvel, yeah, audiences would kind of wonder what the point was. All it really accomplishes is introducing the character and setting the rules of her part of the Marvel universe. But I'm fine with that because it's not a stand-alone. Now I'm psyched to see the next chapter.Comment

I digitally "rented" LORDS OF CHAOS this past week. Loosely based on the book of the same name that dealt with the craziness of the Norwegian black metal scene of the early 90's (which included church arsons, a suicide, a couple murders and a bunch of musicians ending up in prison), starring Rory Culkin (Macaulay's brother) as late Mayhem guitarist Euronymous. There was definitely some historical inaccuracies, and a lot of stuff glossed over (likely for the sake of a roughly two hour running time), but still an entertaining film, and the spirit is there, but man, the murder scenes are brutal. The film was in development hell for years, but the end result was better than I hoped to expect, I'd give it 7/10.Last edited by cjefferys; Mar 10, '19, 6:33 PM.Comment

Captain Marvel 9/10. Fun, entertaining movie. The Stan Lee tribute was well done. People who decided to pass on this one because they're upset about Brie Larson's comments are missing out on a fun ride.Comment

My wife and I see a movie almost every Friday night. Admittedly, that equals seeing some pretty bad movies sometimes, but it also means hitting upon some surprises. That would be the case with last Friday’s ‘Captive State.’
It was an enjoyably solid ‘B’. Set in the old near future, world has been taken over aliens, a resistance force may be regrouping two years after being wiped out in Chicago. What I really liked was that, after some set up in the open, they really didn’t big the plot down, over explaining every facet of life in this world. The audience is smart enough to piece it together as it goes along. It did make me sometimes feel as though they were not going to be able to tie events together but they did and did so in a very satisfying way. It was not a big, overarching story. It’s just one piece of what is surely a kinder story. But it’s a very enjoyable little story.
BTW, the last surprise we came across was a movie call ‘Upgrade.’ I highly recommend it if you get the chance.WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.Comment
