Sanshiro by Akira Kurosawa

I really love sammurai movies, and this is one that I keep coming back to...

The Greatest Raid of All

Absolutely fabulous World War II documentary by Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson. It's about a suicide mission to disable the only drydock on the Atlantic coast large enough to hold the Tirpitz. It's a rather obscure operation -- I'm an avid WW2 historian and hadn't heard of it. Really worth seeing for Batty, Yac, and any others into that sort of film.

Ha, well.. I don't know, really. Tanks are "fun", but I'm not that focused. And the books I have only on tanks are either illustrated albums or focusing on Russian tanks, by Russian authors, afaik never translated to English. I can recommend a youtube series called "The Chieftain's Hatch" that you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheChieftainWoT
I can recommend a great book though : The Second World War by Anthony Beevor.
The Second World War: Amazon.co.uk: Antony Beevor: 9780297844976: Books
Very readable and accessible and at the same time, it shows the whole big picture, not only the chosen few moments Hollywood made movies about I learned a lot.
Not to be completely off topic though....

I saw "Road House" with Patick Swayze yesterday on tv and as silly as the whole thing is, it's one of those guilty pleasure movies I can watch over and over. So bad it's great is a line that sums the whole thing up.

This so much.

But some parts were so bad I liked them.

Like when that ogre with the stone helmet slams it into the wall, presumably killing the thing, man, for some reason, that had me rolling.

But like...everything unfolded as you would expect. There was no thrill or life to it. It was simply fulfilling their contract in producing their translation of the movie.

And..there's...no...good...dialogue...

You run from one CGI porn shot to the next. Thing is, Matrix Reloaded did this sort of thing a lot better, and CGI productions on a grand scale are run of the mill now.

This should have been one movie or less.

And what is the whole deal with the original director dropping out?

It seems like Peter Jackson wants to be doing something else. The first trilogy was a bit slow, but it actually drew you in and created characters you actually cared about. This creation is a hollow peanut shell.

A visual orgasm all the way. The director started out doing music videos. His most famous being this one.
