4k UHD Guardians of the Galaxy perfect even in ner field. Been long enough since I've seen it so the laughs are fresh.
I think this is the best of the series. :pop:

the original did not do a lot for me but so far the extended version is improved but Joachim so wooden still.
Certainly spectacular. 🍿

Lower budget Twister and maybe covers off too much but pretty good after a slow burn lead up.
I've been in Oklahoma as a kid in a tornado outbreak.
While not directly affected the service station we stopped at the day before was completely flattened...left an impression.
My sister who was at uni in Enid had one go over her rooming house but not touch down, She said it sounded like every nail was being pulled out.
I was also watching the big cu that was associated with the F4 that hit Barry Ontario
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_Barrie_tornado
It was a stunning blue sky day and this monster anvil head rising tens of thousands of feet.
There was a 747 taking off from Toronto Aiport and was in front of the cloud and looked like a tiny model as it powered up and away.
Client was actually at ground zero in a big assed truck and while he was okay he was pretty terrified.

Pretty good portrayal.


I've been i a few near misses when out riding. Stationary and lots of gear on but still wild weather.

Anyway decent movie so far. A couple of unneeded dramatic conventions. Worth your time.

nother popped up will watch later.

Lovely in 4k UHD and Robert Redford a good narrator.

Well it is a tornado double header


still watching 🍿

Don't know what to make of this....the cg and disaster footage was amazing, the plot rather ragged and over the top.....waaaay over the top.


was okay in the end just for the special effects

Hints of no country for ol' men and no-knee capping middle switch on the violence unlike the reality - a spaghetti western set in ireland that understates the true drama and emotional baggage of the troubles - understating history, almost re-writing it

Just watched Sicario. Don't remember it being as good as that. Will watch the second one tomorrow.
