To me she won those Oscarās in a specific era. Sheās not picking the right scripts/projects or maybe there arenāt any that lean on her strong suits and/or bring out the best in her.

In 2010 this man broke into the Museum of Modern Art In FRANCE and stole 100million worth of paintings. Five to be exact. He did 8years and went free. They never recovered the paintings and the man he fenced them to never paid him and supposedly destroyed the paintings, and he is also now Free walking around FRANCE, alive.
How does a museum with Billions in Art get burglarized in 2010? What the **** kind of security they had?
Unreal Story.

So Iāve been trying to branch out to genres Iāve often ignored and Iāve been on a war movie kick lately. That led me to finally giving in and Iāve been watching Band of Brothers. Iām 7 episodes in and not only does it hold up but it is easily one of the best shows Iāve ever watched. I know as far as ratings itās pretty widely praised but I donāt see enough people including it in their GOAT shows and I think largely itās because people arenāt into media depicting war (which I totally get).
Anyways, amazing show and I think Iāll do a few more WW themed movies afterwards and then want to finally branch out into more modern warfare movies. Anyone have good recommendations? I saw Black Hawk Down when it first released when I was in middle school so that will be one I revisit. Also need to finally watch American Sniper & Hurt Locker. Are there anymore standout modern war movies that really delve into the gray area that is war?

Initially I was blown away because it legitimately doesnāt look like it is a 23 year old show. Obviously the subject matter is dated but to me the show looks like it was filmed within the last decade. Itās historically accurate and I like the interviews with the real life Easy company to kick off each episode to kind of give their experience/perspective on the events depicted in the upcoming episode. And it goes from their time at basic training all the way through their European campaign.
An initial turnoff for me was the lack of a traditional āmainā character but Iāve been watching an episode a night and after a few days I appreciated that you get better acquainted with the whole company this way. It better sells how bonded the company was because you see interactions with the same soldiers from different perspectives. You get to see the unit as individuals and not necessarily as ācharactersā. And they did an amazing job of casting cause there is a lot of actors that went on to be huge. Iām not really a big names person but this show had David Schwimmer during the height of Friends, as well as minor roles for the likes of up and coming people such as Simon Pegg, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Colin Hanks, Jimmy Fallon, and Tom Hardy. Iām sure there are more recognizable and āhey itās that guyā for yāall but those are the people I knew.
I just knocked out episode 8 and I will put the run of episodes 6-8 as among the best 3 episode stretch of a tv show Iāve ever seen. Not even finished with it and itās probably gonna land behind The Wire as my #2 show. I could go on but yeah, this show is

Stop! Don't move on from WWII yet!
Watch The Pacific. It's the follow up to BoB. It's a very, very different tone and pace, but it reflects the atmosphere of the island hopping campaign, which was very different from the European theater. It's more brutal and visceral than Band of Brothers. Rami Malek has a huge role, and was kind of his mini-breakout. Knew he'd do some things after that performance.
As for movies: one that might be off your radar, but certainly fits, is Casablanca. It was released as WWII was really ramping up. Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, Peter Lorre, etc. It's a phenomenal movie, and one of my top three of all time.
Also, this is not a spoiler, but there is a very powerful scene where the patrons in the bar sing the French national anthem. Some of the extras in the bar were real French ex-pats of Nazi-occupied France who made it to the US.

I donāt know why but Iāve struggled with The Pacific. BoB is the greatest television Iāve ever seen and Iāve watched it multiple times - but I keep getting most of the way through The Pacific and then not finishing.
Masters of the Air which is on Apple right now though is very good - not quite as good again but very close.
Then youāll be wanting The Great Escape.

Fury with Brad Pitt, Jon Berenthal, Shia LeBeouf, and others is really, really good. It follows a tank team in WWII.

The Pacific is definitely on the list and Iāll add Casablanca to the list too
This was honestly probably the next movie I was going to watch cause itās still set in WWII and it leaves Netflix at the end of the month. Iām normally indecisive when it comes to movies because there are so many options. I usually look up all the movies leaving the streaming platforms I have in a particular month and prioritize watching the ones I havenāt seen. Makes it easier to decide what to watch cause itās a much smaller group to choose from

Yea I like for them to tell the story in 90minutes or less instead of 1-6 episodesThe French art heist won me over with it being a doc movie rather than a doc series
Knocked out about 20docs in the last 30days.
Every watch I am equally shocked by the content I just watched.

Not washed. These subjects don't have enough substance to justify a 6 hour retelling vs a 2 hour. Imagine something like Man on Wire being a series; it would suck. 1.5 hours tho? Perfect time to capture and convey the story of this psychopath tightrope walking the Twin Towers.The French art heist won me over with it being a doc movie rather than a doc series

Listened to Eugene Levy on NPR today. Honest to god I had no idea the voice he uses in MOST his movies is not his real voice/accent. He has a very distinct Jewish sounding voice in his movies. Like New York Orthodox Jewish voice.
In radio he sounds like your average old midwestern man. Didnāt even know he was Canadian

I ranked the Batman movies earlier this year for my students. Let's just say The Batman was close to the bottom of the list
It wasn't a bad movie by any means. Just felt like a standard film noir with Batman elements slapped on it.
The list, btw:
1. Batman 1989
2. Mask of the Phantasm
3. Dark Knight
4. Batman 1966
5. Dark Knight Rises
6. Batman Begins
7. Batman Forever
8. Batman Returns (hot take? Maybe I should put this last to bring back
Bronson
)9. Batman & Robin
10. The Batman
11. Batman v. Superman
