Update

I have been ill. And during my illness i have had the opportunity to view many movies on DVD. Listed are the films and what for.

  • A Scanner Darkly--for the video effect. And I liked Dick's story of Bladerunner
  • Gods and Generals--I am of Southern blood
  • Gettysburg--same as above
  • Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World--I love period naval films and Russell Crowe is outstanding
  • Das Boot--simply the best submarine film ever.
  • Gladiator--I like Ridley Scott films
  • Kingdom of Heaven--same as above
  • Entrapment-- Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones
  • Sentinel--a good story
  • Phone Booth--a simple story, minimum number of actors, shot in seven days
  • The Generals Daughter--Trevolta at his best
  • The Last Samurai--Tom Cruise begins to act
  • Highlander: Endgame--The last chapter of Christopher Lambert as the Highlander. I liked the TV series better.

And there were others and will be more before I am back to normal.
