The Japanese weren't that dumb and the Yanks that smart or lucky
Would have been more at home if released during the war as a propaganda movie

Reading about the man it seems if the story was going to be strictly true and include everything it wouldve been even more unbelievable.

I watched it a while ago, and cant remember the most unbelievable bit, but it was something like running through 40 Japs whilst carrying someone on his back

Coincidentally, I watched Animal Kingdom again yesterday, which is from David Michod too - and that is an excellent movie

I went and watched Spiderman Homecoming to tonight. Tom Holland's Spiderman looks and sounds like Spiderman should, Spiderman is ment to be a kid so Holland's performance was really good. Michael Keaton's Vulture was probably the highlight of the movie as was all the tech, the weapons and suits were awesome. There were quite a few little cringeworthy silly jokes in the film but overall it was pretty good.

Watching the movie makes me look forward to the Spiderman PS4 game even more, really keen to get it now haha.

I've recently download a bunch of movies not on Netflix I've had on a 'watchlist' and will slowly get through them.

First I watched Jurassic World- Meh
Second was Full Metal Jacket- Awesome film!
And this afternoon I watched Trainspotting 2- Meh. I recently watched the first on Netflix but I must say I got bored with the second.

Left to watch-
There Will Be Blood
Concussion
The Magnificent Seven
Doctor Strange
The Accountant
The Fate of the Furious

Planning to go to Dunkirk at the movies next weekend and it looks like it will be a good film.

The first half of Full Metal Jacket is amazing, absolutely full on. Second half was a bit average IMHO, but the intensity of the first half more than compensates.

I went and saw Dunkirk tonight, it was good, not great. I definitely recommend that people should go and see it but for me it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

The film really gives you an appreciation for truly devastating situation those men stuck in Dunkirk found themselves in and showed how awful the effects of the war had on them.

I really enjoyed the fighter plane scenes. One small thing that I found funny, when Tom Hardy's character was wearing his oxygen mask and spoke through it he sounded a bit like his Bane from The Dark Knight Rises.

There's a lack of dialogue in some scenes which was a bit annoying as they obviously went for the big cinematic experience over extra plot building conversation.

The convenient plot points that tied the three different points of view together and progressed the plot annoyed me. A little too much of characters in the right place right time for my liking.

Saving Private Ryan is still the best WW2 movie I have seen.

I recently watched Concussion over Sunday and Monday night and actually really liked it, I thought Will Smith was great as Bennett Omalu. Really interesting story and it led me to read more about Omalu.

Watched Date Night again with the missus tonight, she loves it. I know Steve Carell polarises opinion, but I find him funny, and this movie gets better each time I see it.

Yeah, he did and a pretty good movie all round.
The book follows Omalu's life as much as the concussion issue. Looking forward to reading League of Denial, which was published before Concussion and one of the motivations for the lady to write it, to get a bit better overall picture of any bias in the way Omula was portrayed especially vs the Nowinski faction.
