Kathleen Brennan

I’m not sure how I missed this when it came out. I thought this was very well done. I also think it is even more relevant right now. The speech Mr. Murrow gives at the end of the film is chilling. If he only knew the future to come and how our various forms of communication are used, I think he would be as sick as millions of us are today. The future is not bright when it comes to the direction of us as a species, and as a country we have gone from being something many would emulate to being the butt of endless jokes. I would recommend this for sure. It is about a terrible time in our history, but one that shouldn’t be forgotten.

I stopped watching this channel long ago because most all the shows are completely gutting anything resembling the classic they are working on to then pour ridiculous amounts of money into it to have new car!! The big auctions are getting limited survivors now. Derek is hilarious, gets right in the old crusty cars and trucks and actually works on them. I know nobody is driving one to California at the end of a show, well most people wouldn’t. But I love old vehicles, everything about them, and breaking down is part of ownership. I learn some things, have some laughs and are not just looking at yet another $300k rebuild that the majority either can’t afford or choose not to destroy what makes it desirable. I also like the fact that the show hasn’t evolved into watching Derek do his laundry or fight with his wife. I stopped watching for so long, I didn’t know he even existed. Though he is still the only show I watch on that channel, I now look forward to it.

It was an enjoyable picture. One thing, one meeting, one act of kindness and compassion can totally change the trajectory of a persons life. It happened to me. One random act from a stranger who cared. Recommend.

I found it to be well worth watching. If you’re looking for action, car chases, and murder, this is not the movie for you. I was taken in by the acting, the story line, the eye candy of some of the locations and the possible goings on behind closed doors when a pope dies. Very deep with regards to what is truly in a man’s heart and soul and his reasons for even being part of the church. I enjoyed it.

Tough movie though well worth watching. At the time of the making of this film, this was a pretty delicate subject, one that would rather not be talked about. Autism wasn’t even a word yet. A painful realization of the parents that their child is different and then to decide to place them in a place where they can still have a life, albeit unlike the life of a sibling who may not be affected. To tell both sides of the story of one of these children was well done. The acting of Judy and Burt and the boy Ruebin was stellar. The other children who are mentally disabled did a great job in the movie. It must have been a challenging scenario for everyone involved. I applaud everyone involved in making a movie about a very real aspect of many lives , especially at a time when the subject was so sensitive. It is still relevant today. Though tough, in the end it made me feel good. Good for the kids having a place and good for all the people who work with them. Recommend.

I think it’s Sam’s best work. The casting was great, a mixed bag of up and coming, old timers, and many more. Kris and James were equally impressive. Bob Dylan was a nice addition and his score for the movie was excellent. I love the set choices and attire. Sweaty, crusty, and grimy. You can almost smell them. I have seen some of the original and current reviews that pan this movie but I strongly disagree. The westerns where the clothes are clean and tailored and the story has to be politically correct is sooo boring. The artistry of this film is wonderful. Like music, my movie tastes are as broad as the horizon. This film is a true classic, unlike any other. I adore Clint, John and many other actors and their films. But this is a one off. Highly recommend, just not for young kids. Love it every time I watch it! I gave it 4 stars but it doesn’t show that.

This is one I have watched countless times and loved it every time. Great story line, the cast couldn’t have been improved on, and the writing was excellent. It seemed like the writers nailed each character to a tee. There were so many great lines and hilarious moments, it never gets old. The WW2 backstory where some of the girls may get the message their husbands won’t be returning definitely tightens your gut if not bring a tear. A must for anyone who hasn’t watched it yet, or those who haven’t watched it for awhile.

I have watched it several times and will probably watch again. Knowing it’s based on a true story makes it even more intense. Though no one really knows what transpired onboard, the creators came up with a version that was intense, exciting, and sad. Have family and friends that were in the fishing industry that totally loved it. Very entertaining. In the end, to know these men did really parish at sea really pulls at your emotions. I recommend it.

I can’t express it better than Ryan T.’s review here. I will only add brilliant, on many levels.

Excellent movie! I have actually lost count on how many times I’ve watched it. The story and acting were great. I watched it the first few times for that. Then add the unbelievable filming while they were flying! Unreal! Actors actually in the jets being filmed. Incredible! No matter how many times I watch it, I still catch myself, holding my breath, tightening my muscles while watching them fly. I am a major movie fan and I don’t think anything has ever been made this way. Today, everything is computer generated, mostly boring. This is so far from that. Actors that had to train for an extended period in the jets just preparing to film. You can see the g force pulling in their face and eyes. The camera shots are incredible , at every angle. Best movie for Cruise. Many other actors are going to have a great future after this. Future bright stars. Val brings a tear. The movie still brings tears of joy even though I know exactly what is going to happen. This is one I will always enjoy watching, over and over. And huge applause to the Navy personnel who do this for a living. Makes you wish you were one of them. Have I gushed enough? Obviously, highly recommend several views!
