Sad part in "White House Down" with Tatum. The wee girl twirling the white flag to save all. Come on dear it's a tearjerker!

Haha...not exactly what I would call a tearjerker. It was an action movie. Steel Magnolia's was a tearjerker. No comparisonSad part in "White House Down" with Tatum. The wee girl twirling the white flag to save all. Come on dear it's a tearjerker!

Watched the entire 1st season of Netflix's 'Vikings Valhalla'.
It's a spin-off after 'Vikings' series finished after 6 seasons.
Pretty much what I expected, lots of fighting and lush scenery of Sweden and such.
Wife informed me that I could yell "SHIELD WALL" all I wanted, but she Wasn't going to join me...

I've watched this movie already as a young man and was so moved by it, that I even bought the novel by Stefan Zweig. There was no DVD available, thus I'm very glad that it is on YouTube now.

I watched that yesterday and enjoyed it also. (I like Maron but Huzz can't stand him so I watch him alone.) Have you seen his movie The Sword of Trust (2019; 1 hr., 28 min.)? It was pretty funny.

Yes, I saw it. Dolly Parton and others got some witty quips in. The Julia Roberts character seemed overacted, not heartbreaking.
I have seen some tearjerkers, but I never thought of Steel Magnolias as one.
PS. It wasn't a hilarious comedy. More of a heartwarming comedy.

I just saw that too! I truly enjoyed it. Did you?

Absolutely enjoyed it. There are to few movies now that reflect how determination to accomplish something instead of wanting society to provide whatever.
So true, Knight. I admired the way she was raised to be such a determined, independent, mature, and motivated young woman!

It's Disney+ today as we're celebrating daughter getting into "BodyShop". So, we've watched so far, Planes then Planes: Fire and Rescue. Now watching Cars, then two and three.

I watched Master & Commander (The Far Side of The World) this afternoon at home. I’ve been fascinated with the age of sail ever since my dad took me to visit HMS Victory at Portsmouth when I was 5 years old.
The movie seems to be based on three different novels by Patrick O'Brian. Most of the movie seems to be taken from the novel The Far Side of The World, not so much from the novel Master & Commander.
In the novel, The Far Side of The World, the British are chasing an American frigate, USS Norfolk, during the war of 1812. I believe the movie producers thought the British chasing the Americans might not sell well in American cinemas, so in the movie they are chasing the French instead, set during the Napoleonic Wars.

I just finished watching two movies. A strange little black and white movie, The Night the World Exploded on Amazon that was partially narrated during disaster scenes. But it was short and watchable.
And Persuasion on Netflix. It's in the vein of Bridgerton, charming but not as engaging. This film also featured narration throughout by the lead character.
