Zhi yuan jun: Xiong bing chu ji (2023)
Pro Chinese war film but quite good
Just watched this movie on YouTube and it was quite good. It's a completely pro Chinese propaganda but knowing and reading many books it happens to be very accurate. The Chinese definitely ambushed American forces retreating from the Yalu river and without any AirPower pushed American forces into a serious retreat. MacArthur got cocky and did think the Chinese would enter the war. Boy was he wrong.the movie was highly nationalistic and the actors seemed ok but I spent my whole war movie life watching American made movies that glorify America this is a interesting twist. Action scenes were exceptional. I recommend wholeheartedly.
The Way Back (2010)
Epic about courage determination and freedom
Wow. This movie was really sensational. Takes place in 1941 when Stalin purged Poland and Russia of anyone perceived enemy and imprisoned them in the gulag. This movie was tough to watch bc it showed how brutal the Russian communists were and their treatment of their prisoners. This was a movie about the will to live and overcoming crazy obstacles to get to freedom. The characters are wonderful led by ed Harris Jim sturgess. Saoirse Ronan And Colin Farrell. The director was was also sensational the way he developed a comradere and kindness of the characters against the hate and brutality of communism. The cinematography was also breathtaking. Highly recommended.
The Equalizer 3 (2023)
Gonna miss you my friend
Thank you Antoine fuqua for directing this exceptional trilogy. Every single is the perfect mix of emotion friendship evil and emotion. Equalizer 3 brings everything together seamlessly with absolute perfect ending. I literally had tears in my eyes. It was perfect. Thank you Denzel Washington as always you were perfect in every way possible. It's the perfect most extraordinary mix of good vs evil of any movie and trilogy I've ever seen. The violence is hardcore and bloody but the villains in this case the Camorra or Italian mafia are perfect bad guys for Robert McCall, the Equalizer. The location and cinematography are absolutely fantastic. The story is incredibly realistic. The supporting actors are great but at the end of the day it's all about Denzel and Antoine Bravo gentlemen for a sensational trilogy and for bringing bringing me personally such satisfaction.
Un village français (2009)
10 one the greatest series I've ever watched
Where to start,I've watched tv for 65 years and I've seen all the great series ever made. Comedy, drama,thriller science fiction,sports war and more. I'm an amateur military historian and have read hundreds of books on world war 2. The French Village is among the greatest tv series I have ever seen. Accurate,emotional,suspenseful,truthful,and a show that holds no punches. I was blown away by the acting and realism and each season was better and better. Each season was a year in the German occupation of a small French Village during ww2. It follows a group of characters both French and German from 1941(season 1). To 1945(season5) with amazing feeling suspense. The last 2 seasons are post war and seeing what happens to all the wonderful and horrible people decades later. There are plenty of action scenes that are spectacular but it's the characters. Some good some evil but most caught in the middle of a war and occupation that's brutal just trying to make it through the day. Some decisions are life and death. My deepest and heart felt congratulations to the creator of this truly great experience.
A Million Miles Away (2023)
8. How to overcome adversity
Wow this was a really good film. Very inspiring and emotional. It's a movie about overcoming adversity and following your dreams. . I must admit I shed some tears watching this movie. It got to me. The acting was wonderful from Jose's mom and dad to Michael Peña and his wonderful wife. It was pretty formulaic but who cares. The story was true and it worked.just loved the direction and the ups and downs in Jose's.life. Loved the closeness of his family and his sibling and friends. Peña was outstanding as the hardworking/Dreamer Jose Hernandez and it's nice to see a righteous story on the hardworking Latino American population. Congrats to all.
The Covenant (2023)
7 this is a very well made movie
From beginning to end I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Great cinematography direction and story. The actors were terrific especially Dar salim who was sensational. Jake of course carried the move with his tremendous screen presence. This movie was really 2 movies in one. The escape from taliban territory by Ahmed and John and the rescue of Ahmed and his family who are in hiding. The combat scenes were very well made and the suspense was real. Thought Guy Ritchie did a wonderful job directing and keeping the story fresh and exciting. At the end of the day I felt that Ahmed played by Dar Salim was the best part of the movie. He humanized the righteous afghan people.
AKA (2023)
Wowwww AKA is a winner
I love this genre. I've seen so many different types of these action movies over the years. So stink some are decent some are pretty good and yet some are great. Aka is great and a truly big surprise. I wasn't expecting much but it truly scored. Really liked the lead actor alban Lenoir. Tough killer but with a good heart. Reminded me of Jason Bourne and Liam neeson in Taken. Nice conspiracy with the government and French intelligence agents. Action scenes are top notch,supporting actors are also great. Direction was excellent and the overall story was sensational. All in all I give it 8 stars. Enjoy.
The Forgotten Angel of Bastogne (2014)
Sensational
I don't often write reviews but after watching this wonderful documentary I had to. I've read many books and watched many shows about Bastogne .in band of brothers there was a heartbreaking and thrilling episode about Bastogne where I first learned about these 2 brave heroic nurses. This documentary was so detailed, emotional,truthful that it was a pleasure to watch. The backstory's on the surgeon,dentist , nurses and other historical figures really packed an emotional punch. Even the black and white war footage was excellent. I believe I read that this documentary won an Emmy award for best documentary. We'll deserved Bravo.
Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter (2013)
Tremendous realism
I'm so glad I watched this sensational German made world war 2 classic series. This 3 part series packs an emotional wallop as well as an historical view of the war from a German perspective. The five main characters who are wonderful are 2 German women, a nurse and singer who wants to be a star. The men are 2 brothers in the German army and a German Jewish teen. Their best friends from childhood and they love each other. The director bounces around from one friend to another with the war exploding around them. Scenes of battle are as good as you'll ever see. And the pure evil and hatred of Jews by the Nazis and partisans is excruciating to watch. All in all a fantastic series. Must watch.
All the Old Knives (2022)
Cerebral spy thriller
This was a solid slow paced spy thriller. Jumps around a lot but I didn't have problems keeping up and following. Chris pine was very convincing as a cia agent and interrogater. I always love thandie in everything she does what a beauty and a wonderful actress. Nice twist at the end to wrap it all up. Kinda of a love story and thriller roiled into one. My only slight complaint was there wasn't enough action and even though the pace was slow by design it could have been juiced up just a little bit. But all in all this was a very good spy novel with excellent acting. Very good story very good direction and nice screenplay.
Tmunat Hanitzahon (2021)

Shadowplay (2020)
You'll love it
This historical fiction is a truly well made series. Don't believe the haters. Extremely realistic CGI of post WW2 Berlin with the sets being award winning quality. Story takes a minute to get going but we'll worth the wait. Acting by American German and Russians feel so real and accurate . I've read hundreds of books in WW2 and descriptions of Russian and Germans are spot on. Americans were also dirty in this show and real life. Enjoy it and looking gory to season 2.
Reacher (2022)
Just FANTASTIC
Just binged all of season 1 and it was sensational. I have read every lee child book on jack reacher and this series was so much better than Tom Cruise movies. Alan Ritchson is the perfect Jack Reachet. The action scenes were some of the best I've ever seen. Great acting all around, great suspense and really well produced series. Can't wait for next season. A real winner.
