OK, time for me to get back to movies. At least I can recall the ones I have in my collection or have watched often.
I'm getting too depressed about my TV series' memories.
I thought this was a good movie with good performances
by Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn.

Has anyone seen a movie called 'A Woman in Berlin' (Anonyma - Eine Frau in Berlin)?

If so, is it any good?

How did this one escape me?! I've been a big fan of both John Candy (since SCTV) and Tom Hanks (since Bosom Buddies) and am racking my brains trying to recall if I've seen this or not. Something must've been going on in my life back then for me to have missed this or not recall it.

Geddy Watanabe is the unsung star of the movie.

Hanks: I need you to distract the guards.
Watanabe: But they want to use me like a woman!
Hanks: Then you'll just have to take it like a man.

OK, I'm sold. Now I have to add that to my "must see" list.

star trek darkness, world war z, man of steel and the conjuring.

saw all 3 recently. liked all 3 but I don't like how star trek is rewriting past story lines, man of steel had a great cast but got drawn out too long at the end, world war z was great until the last 2 min. conjuring was good but its no excorcist.

Here is a murder mystery that
I enjoyed enough to buy the DVD.
Harvey Keitel's character alone was intriguing
enough, but the whole movie is quite well
planned and played out.

Speaking of John Candy I always liked Planes,Trains and Automobiles.

I like his character a lot in that movie one of those people that is a bit annoying but you still like them anyway.

Uncle Buck is another good one with Candy.

Maybe the commies will hire him

I tried to watch The Red Baron (2008) the other day.

It's a German film about Germans and they all speak English! And there are S.E.5a's in 1916, and the planes fly way too close to each other, and they can hear a harmonica over the noise of several Mercedes D.III engines! And that's just the few minutes I watched before turning it off in disgust!
