Wow. I may actually have to go see this one in the theater.

I would post the Beneficial Cucumber picture here, but I don't think it would be suitable

Well watched a good bit of that "Age of Heroes" last night. As critics said it was very low budget.

I think more could have been done with camera shots and portraying actually infantry tactics. No white camouflage smocks, dark clothing, crossing miles of open countryside in the snow in broad daylight, walking directly on the ridge line in broad daylight etc. etc. I guess the cameraman and director thought these were pretty shots.

Yeah it was pretty bad but got me asleep.

I went to the theater to see "The Imitation Game" about a week after it was released here in the US. I really dislike going to the movie theaters, but I was very curious to see the film. I can say it was well worth the effort. Well done and faithful to the history, even with artistic license...

Finally watched the movie last night. It was OK, pretty complex subject for a movie. Its almost a dramatization of all Bletchley Park and attributing everything to Turing which wasn't true. I liked it because I've been reading so much about B.P. and Enigma but it might be pretty confusing to someone who doesn't know what the movie is suppose to be about.

Saw this the other night. Excellent film.

There's enough license taken to make the Bletchley elements more comprehensible/entertaining, but not so much that someone familiar with the story would find it jarring, a good balance.

Benesplonk Humperditch very good as usual.

Saw this movie yesterday. It's brilliant, and I highly recommend it.

I only know the basics behind B.P., and I still found it pretty easy to follow
