[Cowboy Bob]

I didn’t see that...I be sure to watch it now!

[Jim W N]

Thanks, it’s on my list. Guess it was a 2018 movie. I’ll look for it on TV.

[Jim W N]

Thanks, I like both Damon and Bale as actors. I really liked Bale in “American Hustle,” loosely about the ABSCAM” thing. Bale was real and vulnerable but not a pussy. It was good stuff.

[skinndogNN]

Yes, and that certainly taken from Burt Reynolds.

[Rushmore Rocks]

The actual name of the dog was Balto.

[Gay State Conservative]

When they come out on DVD I'll borrow Richard Jewell,1917 and once Upon A Time from our library. If it turns out that I like any of them I'll buy them used on e-bay.I hate having a nickel of my money going to Hollyweird...even Clint Eastwood.

I would like to close with a mention of a movie I believe will survive, Emmerich’s “Midway.” Emmerich was once a successful blockbuster director—think “Independence Day”—but his career seemed over before he managed to make this movie. It’s not great cinema, but it is the only picture we have about the most important naval battle of the 20th century.

Am I miss reading this? Or perhaps the author misspoke?

I thought the pilot's view descending on the target was amazing.

Bale was great in The Fighter with Mark Wahlberg.

Bale was also great in American Psycho.

Did Burt Reynolds act in any westerns?
"The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing" (1973) with Sarah Miles and Lee J. Cobb. It's a pretty good film.
Like earlier comments, he was on "Gunsmoke" for a few seasons (1962-1965) as a half breed Indian blacksmith, Quint Asper.

“2019 was a surprisingly good year for conservatism at the movies”

Only in the most narrow sense of conservatism. It’s like saying you had a great gourmet meal and that the only downside was that you obtained it by dumpster diving.

Hollywood seems very averse to making anything truly conservative or family friendly, even if they have to sacrifice millions of dollars in opportunity cost.

It is up to independent filmmakers to address the unmet need for conservative and faith- and family-friendly flicks. Probably will require forging new distribution channels as well.

For those interested in the topic, I recommend watching the recent interview of Kirk Cameron by Ben Shapiro:

Also, Cameron has a recent video discussing this topic on a recent episode of Way of the Master:

Thanks for the tip! I checked Comcast and they want 5.99. Im glad I have Amazon Prime too. Sounds like a good Saturday night popcorn and coke movie.

[Chewbarkah]

B.R. was in “The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing”.

[steve8714]

Ant Man and the Wasp. Anything Michael Pena is in will be great, and Paul Rudd learns to laugh at himself. Even Michael Douglas shows a comic touch.

“I don’t need to see another Midway film”

This one was excellent. You need to see it. Puts the ‘76 version to shame.

The actual name of the dog was Balto.

100% Wrong!!!!! Balto was a fraud!!!!

Togo was the Hero. There were 20 teams, Togo's went 230 miles, while the other 19 went on average only 9 miles.

Balto was the lead dog on the team that finished the relay thus incorrectly got all the glory.

Almost 100 years later this movie finally sets the record straight.

[Rushmore Rocks]

Thanks. Did mot know that.

[Rushmore Rocks]

oops..... Not.

[jeffc]

CNN hated it.

Made me watch it.

Loved it!

[carcraft]

I saw Ford vs Ferrari also. I thought it was a great movie!
