1917: The Real Story (2020)
Odd
This is a good WW1 documentary, but has nothing to do with the 1917 movie. The title is quite misleading. Nonetheless, this one showed more footage of the war than I've seen in other WW1 docs, though some is clearly re-enactments done at the time. The doc also nicely outlines most of the main battles of the war as well as the successes and losses of the Allies. It also goes into far more detail on the use and impact of tanks than I've seen before. It also includes far
More successes by the Allie's than I knew had actually happened in the war. It makes the Allie's look less bumbling then most docs.
I Am a Killer (2018)
Best True Crime Show on TV
This is one of those shows wear, once you watch the last episode and season, you're bummed out because now we have to wait for the next. Each episode watch you through a murder with the people involved, first, showing it from the killers point of you, which makes you think they're innocent, and then the victim, or the victims family with the police arrested him, which shows he or she is not so innocent. The scenery videos, and the music. Just make it that much better. You never feel that you don't have the whole story. I'm halfway through the fourth season, and I don't think I've been bored by one episode. Just a great show.
Cowboys & Aliens (2011)
Space cowboys
Is it me, or does the spaceship look like Squidward's house? The story is predictable to a large extent, but most Hollywood movies are predictable. It seems hard to make a story like this believable, but Jon Favreau does a good job. I try to imagine where the idea for the storyline came from. Probably a bunch of Hollywood guy sit around getting drunk and say " what would happen if aliens came to earth 150 years ago?" This version is this good as any. Good old American spirit and you never know what's gonna happen. This is the only movie I've seen to try and combine cowboys and aliens, and does a really good job. I've seen it twice, and I'll probably watch it again. The ending does not lend itself to a sequel though. So if one hasn't come out in the last 11 years, I guess one isn't coming.
