If you see this movie, make sure to catch the opening scenes in Mexico City.
This movie may not appeal to the younger crowd, but it is probably one of my favorite spy movies. Tom Hanks is awesome throughout, and it was nice to see Alan Alda on film again for a short bit.
When a tooth strikes out with pain and swelling, you end up spending the day at home resting and watching Netflix. This movie, “Beasts of No Nation”, hits hard. A very graphic war movie filmed in Ghana in West Africa. It won’t appeal to everyone, but I appreciated its honest portrayal of African war zones and the food for thought that it provided.
Hey y’all! Get your hands on this Film (or maybe read the book). Unbranded is a story about wild mustangs, four college friends, and a trip of a lifetime riding public lands from Mexico to Canada. Trust me, this is a great American documentary.
This movie would make an excellent US-based companion to Cartel Land. Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, and Benicio Del Toro all did a great job!
I drove out to Johnson City to see a short film about Antarctica at the Hill Country Science Mill.
I went to see a film as part of the third annual Interdisciplinary Spanish Film Festival at Southwestern University this evening. I got there a little early and went for a short walk around the Campus. There was green grass, historic buildings, gray cloudy skies, stately oak trees, and plenty of squirrels zooming around. In case you are wondering, the film was called “Siete cajas” and was a story about a 17 year old pushcart porter working the Mercado 4 in Asunción, the capital city of Paraguay. The film is billed as a Paraguayan thriller film, and it delivers pretty well if you have the chance to see it someday.
At times, the laws of physics and common sense are totally ignored. This is not good for a NASA flick. If you can let science go, then the movie has its moments.
This movie is about the mountain climbing expedition for the Shark’s Fin route up the Meru Peak in the Himalayas. If you see the film, you will see a documentary about superhuman men. If you are like me, you will be shouting on the inside for these men to stop what they are doing – just stop. It is a crazy film that explores the boundaries of what risks are logical versus illogical.
