Morning!
Learning Kendo was also on my agenda but never happened. Oh well... next life :)

I gave up on the John Wick movies due to too many scenes with flashing lights. My brain isn't keen on that.

"Dead Man Walking" is with Sean Penn & Susan Sarandon. She won her Academy Award for her role and it was directed by her then partner, Tim Robbins. It's a brilliant film. However, I've only watched it twice and it's brutal especially as it's based on a true story. South African television actually aired this film the night before Tim McVeigh's execution.
I think you're referring to "Dead Man" when you reference Johnny Depp as he starred in that film.


OT: I watched "Legends of the Fall" for the 10 0000th time. It's a beautiful film. Julia Ormond is effortless in her role. The score is special too.

Thank you for the correction on "Dead Man" Merry.

I thought the filming and story were very good in "Legends of the Fall" but Julia Ormond has never made a film that I liked her acting in.
She just doesn't have the chops, though she's gotten better over time since making "Legends of the Fall".

Ahh no ways, I have to disagree. One also has to take into consideration that after her encounter with a certain heavy weight producer, she was blacklisted at the peak of her career. Nevertheless, she is fantastic. We will simply have to disagree. :sunglasses::sunglasses:

That's a real thingy.
My eldest is a film aficionado with tastes much in accordance with what his mother's were.
He thinks De Nero is all that while I believe Duvall is by far the superior actor.
He likes watching silent movies while I just can't.

While we agree on many things about the movies, each of us has our own quirks/likes/dislikes.
Yet when it comes to rating a movie we often give it the same rating - which just goes to show he recognizes superior game in his father.

Not sure who is into Military Type shows...

I've started watching "SIX" lots of action..

A bit of a description~~~

Navy SEAL Team Six, whose 2014 mission to eliminate a Taliban leader in Afghanistan goes awry when they uncover a U.S. citizen working with the terrorists. Stemming from an idea by Harvey Weinstein, the drama is inspired by real missions, capturing SEALs' complex personal lives and the life-and-death decisions they make, with each season set in a different location, starting with Africa.

I prefer action packed type shows that keep me interested, and so far this show has got my attention.. I'm on Series #2 now.. it has 2 series 18 episodes.
