#SundayReviews: "1917"


Not many movies are set in World War I, as most people have a boner for killing the Nazis or Japanese in World War II, but it's time to go back to gruesome 1917 for a story based on the director's grandfather's life.

From Google:

"During World War I, two British soldiers -- Lance Cpl. Schofield (George MacKay) and Lance Cpl. Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) -- receive seemingly impossible orders. In a race against time, they must cross over into enemy territory to deliver a message that could potentially save 1,600 of their fellow comrades -- including Blake's own brother."


This was a well crafted film. Plot, acting, dialogue, cinematography, set pieces, and special effects were all top notch!

One of the coolest things that you won't notice at first is that the movie seems to be shot in one take!

(It wasn't, but that added to the sense of urgency throughout the movie.)

VERY WATCHABLE.

Good Morning! This is the 21st, and last of my "Body-Painted Football Babes Bonanza" series. Perhaps more importantly however, the semi-finals begin tomorrow in the World Cup! So a hearty congratulations to the great teams who made it: Uruguay versus Netherlands Germany versus Spain They will play each other tomorrow and Wednesday respectively, but all signs point to Germany defeating the Netherlands in the final. Now, back to the babes! We have ladies representing the Italian Republic (the only returning champion I'd wager, to ever come dead last in the weakest group), and the Republic of Korea (South Korea -- who lost to Uruguay in the 2nd round). - QBF Spicy Meatball: Korea's Taekwan-Don't Stop!
