I can’t think of a better movie to take an 11-year old boy to see. :-D
It’s PG-13 and from what I can remember there’s not much swearing, plus there’s no gore to speak of. There’s plenty of expected cleavage and skin for the Havana race setting (one of the best sequences in the movie) but nothing else.
As a caper movie series (5 and 6 being the best) it’s grown bigger and bigger (from taking down a tank and a plane in 6 to jumping from planes and skyscrapers in 7 to the sub in this one) but I wouldn’t mind for them to end the series on a smaller scale and revert back to the basics of fast cars. But it would be perfectly fine for Jason Statham and the Rock to have their own spinoff movie.

Thanks man. He will enjoy, i am certain.
Should be the final trailer for Dunkirk:

Damn. Looks awesome.
Reminds me of The Battle of Britain in style.

Almost exactly so; very good comparison. It has the appeal of a 70s epic war film.
Especially with the narrative seemingly to lack focus on a single character or group of characters. Nolan disclosed that there are three separate story lines: land, air and sea.
Beyond the startlingly realistic visual appeal, the trailers haven’t been earth-shatteringly dramatic. But I think that is good, there doesn’t appear to be a lot of action fluff. I am really looking forward to seeing it.
Just saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Thought the first was overrated, but this one was actually quite good.
Thanks for the link to The trailer, Hoffman. I Cannot wait.

Unlike Hitler’s panzers, who he told to stop and wait to allow the British army to escape. Amazing that they can dress this up as a triumph.

That’s the one thing that sticks in my mind to sour the film a bit… That the situation may not have been as dire as they make it seem. The Germans could have wiped them out, but chose not to.
This is a British flag-waver though. That’s fine. With Nolan production value and accurate, even if incomplete, telling of events, I can enjoy Dunkirk as a good film.

GOTG 2 is the strongest sequel after Winter Soldier. With the first GOTG it makes the strongest 1-2 of all the Marvel films. The first Captain America is my favorite but it’s 1-2 are very tonally different.

They did that with Pearl Harbor. Remember that cook shot down 300 Japanese planes and single highhandedly sunk 2 carriers, then the two lover boys totally destroyed Japan with the Doolittle raid. Thats payback for sinking our fleet!

Well that was just total schlock from Michael Bay. I know we’ll get something more grounded from Nolan.
Hopefully :-) :?
I enjoyed Kong. If you love 1950 monster movies you will love the flick. Building up to a Godzilla and Kong film.
Guardians was good. I laughed many times.

I enjoyed Kong Skull Island as it had aspirations of being more than a “B” monster movie. I was a bit disappointed though that there was all this nice build up but they got to the island and dispensed with the foreplay and couldn’t hold their wad. Jackson’s character felt a bit forced but pretty entertaining flick though. Loved Shea Whigham as the grizzeled heli pilot Cole. “There was no tactical precedent.”
It would have been better in my opinion as a longer movie.

Sounds like you actually managed to make through the whole length of the film, which I could not.
Went to see Alien Covenant over the weekend. Re-watched Prometheus beforehand.
Alien Covenant was a moderate disappointment. About 50% I really liked and 50% I thought was been-there-done-that Alien. The more I watch Prometheus, the more I enjoy the intricacy and multi-layered themes. Alien Covenant didn’t tell the story I thought it was going to. It wasn’t all bad, just not what I was expecting or hoping for.
I think it is still worth watching, especially if you want to see where Ridley Scott goes from here. David Fassbender was excellent again.
It seems Fassbender is becoming a very good actor.
Alien lost me with Part III.
Alien vs Predator was good, but I disliked the 2nd. one.
I am not going to spend my time on the covenant.
Just watched recently Alien II with Bien in it.
I will say that the scene you reference may not be what you think. I am not certain the direction they were trying to go with it, but I don’t feel as though it was meant to be, at least, primarily homosexual. There are a number of ways to look at it. It also wasn’t as gratuitous as you described.
If that sways you at all. I am trying not to reveal anything that may be unknown prior to watching.
