Movies You Recently Watched

Better Off Dead. That movie never fails to crack me up.

 

Yeah--that's a good one!! "Gee Rickey-----I'm sorry your mom blew up!!"

 

Cusack was such a babe

 

That and the David Van Hamburger scene.

 

"will you take a check"?? After his proposed date lists all the expense he "would " have had if they had actually gone on a date!!

 

"The Pacific" About the Marines in WW-II in the South Pacific. I've watched it at least 12 times.

 

The Claim. A story set in 1867 about a man who sells his wife and child back in 1849 for a few gold pieces and a claim. The claim produced and made him rich. He builds a town owning most everything and becomes wealthier. Until his wife shows up some 17 years later with the daughter he sold along with a railroad surveyor. The surveyor looks for a path for the railroad and decides to lay it elsewhere. BTW, there is a madam and brothel in the story which complicates things. I'll leave it at that for you to watch and see how this all unfolds.

 

I think Band of Brothers is the best series I ever watched (the Wire next). I remember feeling disappointed with the Pacific when I first saw it I guess because I compared the 2 series. Then I re-watched it again a couple of years later and thought, this was pretty good. It gets better for me with each viewing.
