yeah, Ledger was the best Joker, but unfortunately he is not around to do the role....I am looking forward to this movie.

10 worst WWII movies. Of these the only one I have seen is The English Patient, and the comment at the end of the review is spot-on: ….culminated in assisted suicide; unfortunately, not for the audience.

10 Worst World War II Movies - History and Headlines
This write-up is so solid I want to delete everything after it and start a new movie thread.
Going back and watching the scene, I love how Nolan cuts to the key player's reactions. He cuts just enough so you can see the mob and how the individuals are taking this in, then focusing on the Joker's face so you can every nuance. Nolan offers a masterclass in how to cut a scene. His Batman trilogy is one of those I rewatch every year or so because they are so. Damn. Good.
So I've seen DC's SHAZAM
Capital letters because the movie based on the original Captain Marvel character is possibly one of the most heart warming and comic book accurate adaptations I've seen in a long time.
It's goofy, corny and light hearted all the way, in the best way. It's like everyone says: basicaly Tom Hank's Big turned super hero.
Is it all family friendly ?
Well, let me say this: the advertising, besides not doing the film justice < intended or not, WB should have really done better marketing for this one, is slightly misleading.
It is very light hearted but has some dark moments and also couple adult jokes. It was directed by David F. Sandberg after all. For ppl who are unaware, he is first and foremost known for horror movies and shorts.
Personaly I think there should be no issues bringing your kids to this flick. But I'd say they should probably be at least 10 or older.

Finished The Widow. The ending was a bit too "protagonist wins" and "jumbled mess" for my tastes. I didn't hate the ending, but it detracted from a really good series.
Hanna on Amazon Prime...hard pass. I made it about halfway through the second episode before walking away. "You got your coming of age story in my assassin thriller! You got your assassin thriller in my coming of age story!" Those tastes do not taste great together. I don't care if it improves, I won't be around.

This scene encapsulates what I mean.
To watch the joker start from casually forgetting every fuck he ever gave walking in that room; dude walked in wearing an SVest cause he didn’t have room for his huge balls in his custom made purple velour suit. Then to make sure all these wanna be hard wanksters knew he was more Jessie James and less Jussie Smollet, he for real perpetrates a hate crime via pencil.
The coup de gras? Watch where Gamble interrupts him and corrects him on ‘freak’. You see it again later when Gamble tells him he’s crazy, and the Joker replies, “I’m not. I’m no-TT.” Those small subtle looks, the mouth tick and movement... fuck man. That’s the realest cat since XXXTentacion. RIP
For a brief second, you see rage clot across his eyes and he seems interrupted. He changes tack from his prepared speech and counter punches with Gamble, and then paints his master stroke.
He guts the douchebag collective telling them he knows why they’re mad pussy, yo, and everyone knows it cause they meet in daytime.
Simple solution- we kill unkillable and you give me fucking half. Of errrrrrthang.
Walks out on his own two. That’s why Ledger nailed this role; Joaquin has the ability to truly access that crazy too. Hopefully it doesn’t lead to 7 xanny’s And a glass of wine.
Nicely done.
There is a scene in Inglorious Basterds that should be the Gold Standard in screenwriting, directing and acting and it's the farmhouse scene between Christoph Waltz and Denis Menochet, the Jew Hunter and the Farmer.

Best thing about being in a wheelchair, well, one of the best things, is I still was able to get Endgame tickets today in a sold out show. It's awesome when you bring your own chair
Me too Brother, me too! Left hand is going out more and more though. So the VA bumped me up to a pooter scooter 
This movie is based upon my former unit at Fort Detrick. I was on the primary Vickers Isolation Team. The Dr.s Jaax were/are some of the best officers I ever worked with in the environment we operated in.

Agree with this 100%. Widow was SOLID up until that last episode, and my suspension of disbelief was tapped out by the idea of Nell's Evil Twin suddenly jumping in European society with little-to-no social dissonance. I made it about halfway through the season and when it became apparent it was shaping up to be a teenage drama that happened to have guns, I quit. Dollhouse was a more believable story...

The Highwaymen was very good. It's the story of the two former Texas Rangers brought out of retirement to hunt down Bonnie and Clyde.
It was apparent accuracy was important to the producers. I liked that the story was presented from the "other" perspective and in a way that didn't glorify Bonnie and Clyde.

I just finished watching it and enjoyed it. Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson were great together.
Finally watched Aquaman last night... Thoroughly enjoyed it the over the top cheeze but I guess the wife didn't, she fell asleep before the hour mark.

Pet Sematary (2019) was pretty good.
