Two really good Netflix movies on gambling. Mississippi Grind. And "Win it all."
My heart was practically pumping out of my chest watching "Win it all." So uncomfortable to watch, in the best kind of way. |

2nd viewing of The Road tonight - it was 2.7 stars from perfect - I feel like they needed to warm us up to normal family life prior to the apocalypse. Where you at with it? 7.3 stars.

That movie is just too depressing. I like my post apoc movies less realistic and with more 'splosions.

So yes: it might have made it emotionally more impactful, but it would have "ruined it" for fans of the book and made it an entirely different experience.

I always enjoyed the movie Mash but not the TV show. The movie was directed by the late Robert Altman. In 1992 he directed a satirical film about making films. I just showed it last week to a couple of people who never heard of it, and they loved it.
It's got a story with beginning, middle and end but is a sort of slice of life of a studio movie producer and the back stabbing and politics that go on in the movie business. The lead is played by Tim Robbins and he's really good. It's got a murder, it's a mystery, a love interest, and the opening scene is a continuing 8 minute shot with over 30 actors all involved in various activities with the camera constantly moving. It took a lot of planning to pull that opening scene off. There is a huge roster of actors, many are just playing cameo parts to be in this film about films. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105151/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 |

You could just go buy a copy of every movie featuring Denzel Washington as the lead (or a major character in it) and watch them. I'm partial to Training Day, Man On Fire, Philadelphia, Fallen, and American Gangster. |

And it drove me nuts that nobody knew what happened. Although that didn't infuriate me the way No Country For Old Men did. |

Moonstruck 1987 with Cher is actually a great movie. Nicolas Cage rocked this part.
