I think someone on the cable networks decided to play most of the best Westerns ever made this weekend.
Plus a few of the other best movies ever.
"Red Dawn" with Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck, Adrianne Palicki, Josh Hutcherson, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Isabel Lucas,
Connor Cruise, Kenneth Choi, Alyssa Diaz
2012, Rated PG-13 for intense war violence and action, and for language, 114 minutes
Updated to today's political situation, this remake has the North Koreans and the Russians invading the USA and carving it
up into territories. But the enemies did not bargain for the guerrilla resistance. This was done very well, and the story was
exciting, interesting, and realistic. Chris Hemsworth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan -- enough said, I mean, we're talking heaven
here! (Bryan laughed at me) We gave it ★★★★ It really was great.
"The Awakening" with Rebecca Hall, Dominic West, Imelda Staunton, Lucy Cohu, John Shrapnel, Diana Kent, Richard
Durden, Alfie Field, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Shaun Dooley, Joseph Mawle, Cal Macaninch, Anastasia Hille, Andrew
Havill, Steven Cree
2011, Rated R for some violence and sexuality/nudity 106 minutes
It's post WWI, and seance charlatans are fleecing the gullible. A medium debunker (Hall) is approached by a representative
of a boys' boarding school to investigate the possibility of her removing a ghostly presence that is scaring the children after
an asthmatic boy is literally frightened to death. It was a bit jumbled and difficult to grasp the clues and exposition of the plot
and story, but it wasn't too terribly bad, and we gave it ★★★
We watched a movie called “Outsourced,” about an American saleman training an order-taking staff in India. It was cute.
