Watched Nomadland and The Amateur coming home on the plane. NL was a waste of time. TA helped me kill time. Can't give a strong recommendation for either

Watched original Blade Runner ...always love it. Not in 4k or HDR but the new TV helped a bit in the darker scenes. Forget which version this was ....was extended tho. Still my top movie tho The Expanse is better SciFi and a better format for long tales. Blade Runner could morph into that universe.
Was hoping for Blade Runner 2049 as a twin feature but on in pay for version and too lazy to fire up the 4k Blu Ray

I would recommend giving "Soldier" starring Kurt Russell a watch. Be prepared to pause when they show Todd's military record on screen.

It's not a movie, but hopefully it will be entertaining. Hope your wife likes live professional boxing!
BTW the boxing match is happening tonight. Live!

True story and Pacino in the lead....should be good but the reviews are marginal ....dunno 
but Pacino has power and that's acknowledged by the reviews we'll see 
Very slow burn but good reviews

Revisited this one from the 80's
I think the concept was interesting, just not well executed. Has a fair bit of 80's storytelling which is nice enough. But the whole movie lacks any juice, spectacle to make it better, or stand out more then what seems like a made for TV movie.
Going to follow up with the TV series.

I'm waiting for the cookbook to come out.
As counterpoint, I loved the movie and subsequent TV series that it spawned.Revisited this one from the 80's

I'm not certain I've seen this but worth watching again given the cast
Realized I have seen it when I saw that logging truck all twisted up in the parking lot.
Don't remember it in detail. Maybe overdone mayhem but not a bad origin story.
re-watched Dunkirk. Did not realize Tom Hardy's role
Hard not to get misty eyed when those small boats show up.

Saw a documentary last night on Prime Video
NFB film. Summary here Murder Remembered - Norfolk County 1950
Bank robber armed with a Thomson machine gun (??) and a pistol kills 2 citizens who were chasing him on back roads. Local residents arm themselves and form a posse to hunt him down. Person caught, tried, found guilty and then hanged.
I was a bit surprised by the use of a machine gun, and then rural folk forming a posse armed with rifles and shotguns, in Ontario of all places, not rural Alabama.

Oddly enough, ownership of automatic weapons was legal in Canada, without even the need to register them, until 1951. They didn't even become prohibited weapons until 1977, when laws were radically changed after the Brampton Centennial Secondary School shootings. Sitting in the soccer field of my school and listening to the radio just 5 miles away, while the shooting was being announced, was probably the most surreal moment of my life.
I just broke the seal on the BluRay of "Superman" that I received this week. I ordered as soon as the pre-order was available. Somewhat ironically a friend in the US, who ordered at the same time I did, received notification that his order was delayed. Something about tariffs. Who'da thought?
