The Whales of August. Every bit as charming as Cato suggested. And I do like a wicked good movie about Maine in the summer.

Demolition

Jake and Naomi.

A complete mess and 1' 45" lost that I will never be able to get back.

Tyrone Powers and Joan Blondell in NIGHTMARE ALLEY  (1947)
directed by Edmund Goulding, produced by George Jessel!
... the dirt and romance of carnival life
EUREKA! edition (British, PAL) is an exellent one with a 24-page booklet, commentary and background featurettes.

A nasty little movie! I have the book on my coffee table, part of an anthology I just read a couple books from, and am considering reading it.

Iron Giant, The (1999) - just replaced my DVD w/ the BD - excellent visuals and sound - ratings below from HERE - if a fan of this animated film, then a blu-ray purchase is a MUST!    Dave

One of the BEST!

Just a bad movie with unresolved, glaring plot problems. Like so many other films being released these days.

Captain America: Civil War
2016 ‧ Fantasy/Science fiction film ‧ 2h 27m

Political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the Avengers lead to collateral damage. The new status quo deeply divides members of the team. Captain America (Chris Evans) believes superheroes should remain free to defend humanity without government interference. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) sharply disagrees and supports oversight. As the debate escalates into an all-out feud, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) must pick a side.

Bill - know that you're a fan of The Iron Giant - therefore, the BD is a MUST purchase for you! 

Last night another new BD addition to my collection:

The Vikings (1958) w/ Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, & Ernest Borgnine (as the Viking papa!) - ratings for the blu-ray restoration shown below - some of the scenes of the Viking boats coming up the fjords are just spectacular, and Tony & Janet make a great 'pair' -   Dave

I took my 6 year old to see it, the kids were all enjoying it, but I couldn't wait for it to end. Now, Kubo on the other hand was a very, very well made animated flick. Wouldn't mind watching that one again on BD.

The Martian
2015 ‧ Fantasy/Science fiction film ‧ 2h 31m

When astronauts blast off from the planet Mars, they leave behind Mark Watney (Matt Damon), presumed dead after a fierce storm. With only a meager amount of supplies, the stranded visitor must utilize his wits and spirit to find a way to survive on the hostile planet. Meanwhile, back on Earth, members of NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring him home, while his crew mates hatch their own plan for a daring rescue mission.

Like Pierrot lunaire, this is a movie which inspired near-rabid enthusiasm when I first watched it;  then, at some point, I fell into a period of impatience, and general lack of sympathy, with it;  and at some yet later point, I just got over it.

The movie whereof I say is Monty Python and the Holy Grail, most of which I watched again Saturday and Sunday evenings, and it is just riotous fun.

hey, why am I laughing? - I like Messiaen...

[Mister Sharpe]

Just a bad movie with unresolved, glaring plot problems. Like so many other films being released these days.

Agree in full - the art AND craft of movie making seem to be riding into the sunset.  Care to speculate why?  Suggests:  1.) Much - in fact, most - of the movie market is now directed at the 16-25 age cohort; 2.) most American actors, at least, no longer pay their dues on the stage; 3.) is the general decline in writing ability also affecting script writers?...

And there was much rejoicing.
