Watched a movie on Netflix called Airlift (2016) - an Indian production.
Wiki: Airlift is a 2016 Indian historical drama film directed by Raja Krishna Menon, starring Akshay Kumar and Nimrat Kaur. The film follows Ranjit Katyal (Akshay Kumar), a Kuwait-based businessman, as he carries out the evacuation of Indians based in Kuwait during the Invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
The acting was not the best, the script was weak in places, the Kuwaiti army looked like Indians, and a couple of times they broke into song, as you do when in a war zone... However the movie was based on a real event, the airlift of 170,000 people. I'll be honest I never heard of this event, quite incredible...
My question is: why the mix of English and Indian language throughout, it's not the first time I've seen this, I just don't know why
Just watched a double header on Fox - To Catch a Thief, The Birds. Grace's elegance in the former never fails to amaze, on the other hand Cary Grant's tan seems to look worse and worse each time...
Feud Bette And Joan and is fascinating and recommended for anyone interested in Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Hollywood history. Great acting from Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon, but I must single out Judy Davis's great portrayal as Heddy Hopper and Alfred Molina as Robert Aldrich.

Yeah-he looks like he was oven-baked at 450 for way to long! Was that a real tan or fake makeup as if he'd gotten tan living on the Riveria?!
I tried to watch Nocturnal Animals. I had to turn it off at that one part because I just couldn't watch. I read the plot online turned it back on and skipped that chapter. Still it was a well done movie and I liked the symbology of the book against the real life story line... Still makes me want to have my pistol under the steering wheel though.
Ok. I did. I went to watch the Beauty and the Beast. Awful, I didnt like it (both Emmas are great) but the film is a let down. I am a huge fan of Cocteaus' Film. And really love the animated Disney version. This one, watched and soon forgotten.

I did buy Passengers on blue ray and my only complaint is:
[spoiler]
Why in the world wouldn't they have had children??? I mean they were together another 60-80 years...

Just watched the Magnificent 7 (2016) for the third time. It's there with Open Range. A western that didn't get fucked by big business.
