Andy Samberg from Brooklyn Nine-Nine playing a serious role and killing it. He is my favorite part of this movie. Kate Winslet does a great job, without a doubt. However, Andy playing something so far from what he is known for and doing it without any issues is a testament to his skills.

The short of this is that this book isn't for everyone. Much like his comedy, these stories can be crass and graphic, but if you keep yourself open-minded, and you don't mind a more language than Captain America has ever heard, then you can find some hysterical stories.

Speaking that this is based on a true story, the story is good and inspiring. It is really impressive what she was able to do so shortly after the attack. I hope she is still able to help others who have lost limbs to push forward into "normal."

This is a crazy story of the attack on Pearl Harbor and those that lived on the island that you have never heard of. The closest you would ever hear about this is probably from the TV show NCIS for 2 reasons... 2) Douglas Wada worked for NIS which is the predecessor to NCIS.

I am hesitant to review this movie because it is a great movie with great acting, but the story has since soured and I am unsure the truth. My opinion of the situation will not play a part in the review. It will be reviewed as a fictional movie.

This is part of an unintended trilogy that all cover the same event, the evacuation of Dunkirk. I recently saw and old Graham Norton Show interview were Hugh Jackman gushed over Gary Oldman's performance on this movie and having never seen it, I felt I had to

This story is so much more than the history of serial killer and his victims. In fact, it is more about the police who investigated and the city the suffered under his terror. You do learn more than enough about his acts of evil, it focuses on those that put in the work to capture him.

Within 3 weeks of each other, two movies came out about the 90 year old Bernie Jordan who escaped his nursing home to go to a D-Day remembrance. One told the true story, the other fabricating plot points, but both telling the same story of guilt and responsibility.

I have so much to say and at the same time so little to say. The long and short is that Pierce Brosnan is outstanding in his role and tells a wonderful story. I am honestly not sure what to say other than watch it.

This movie is a testament to love, courage, and the lessons that never leave us. Showing you the beauty of 70 years of love and knowing each other can bring out the best in you, even when you don't know it still needs to be pulled out.

You can’t mess up a true-life spy story and they sure did not. No gun fights, not war stories, just 2 men who changed the world and stopped the Cuban Missile Crisis. Benedict Cumberbatch is a superb actor and I love watching his movies. I can’t think of anything that he has done that he hasn’t fit
