"The Gambler" (1974) with James Caan. I enjoyed it. 4 out of 5 stars.

Moonfall - HBO MAX


The premise is that the Moon is a megastructure built by ancient aliens. It is attacked by a hostile AI that intends to crash it into the Earth in order to destroy both the benevolent operating system of the moon and the human race.
My gosh it just goes on and on and on. Scenes that should last 30 seconds drag on for 5 or 10 minutes. It's just one loud and flashy disaster after another. Physics doesn't seem to apply in their world as the action would be impossible in this one. "Sharknado" is more scientifically accurate.
You've got better things to do with you time.

Dark fever dream of hatred, part Conan(by way of Howard-not the movies), part Beowulf, part Hamlet.
All hallucinatory nightmare.
The most evocative Norse mythological imagery I've ever seen, from shrieking Valkyries and grim Norns to Berserker fury.
Unapologetic and horrific.

My dad, who I think has watched every shite low-budget viking movie available on streaming in his old crippled boredom, said the Northman was boooooooring as fuck and he couldn't make it through.

Nothing in your description directly contradicts that. Worth a watch or not?

It's not an action movie, although it has a lot of violence. It's murder violence.
It is Hamlet, the original legend that Shakespeare adapted, with the emphasis on revenge, atmosphere and the Norse mindset.
Men transform themselves into wolves mentally and bite their prey. A wife is sacrificed after her husband is killed and sings to her death.
There's a lot of "Wow", "Holy..." and "Jesu...er, Odin!"
I enjoyed it.

Went and saw Bullet Train. It was a fun kind of turn your brain off and look at the action and nice set design with a few pretty good laughs and decent dialogue scattered in it kind of movie. I don’t think it’s a have to see it at the theater movie, but it’s worth a watch.

Hummingbirds was nice if you google David Attenborough he has lots of nature documentaries

We had a pretty good time watching that movie at a movie brewhouse. Couple of margaritas and food brought to your seat make any movie much better LOL. The movie was way over the top and obviously unrealistic but probably wouldn't have been as entertaining if it wasn't. Seems like the market has been saturated with action films and it's hard to impress anymore with fight scenes and special effects that have gone way beyond believability. We recently watched Nope at the same theater. Definitely needed margaritas to get through that one LOL.

We just happened to watch The Lie on Amazon Prime last night. Joey King is in Bullet Train and The Lie. Actually she's been in a bunch of movies. She's a teenaged daughter of divorced parents. She kills her best friend and most of the movie involves the parents trying to cover it up. The end completely blew us out of the water. Neither one of us saw it coming.

"First time?" certainly applies to both.

Saying David Attenborough has lots of nature documentaries is like saying S&W has lots of revolvers.

Four episodes in to The Sandman. Dark, weird, and wonderful. Can be hokey periodically, but nothing that doesn't fit the premise. The source material has been on my list of "to read" for years, so I can't comment on the quality of the adaptation, but if you enjoy jet-black fantasy, Netflix did a good job with this one.

This documentary, Send Me, is on Amazon Prime via Freevee. I thought I had a decent grasp on the disaster in Afghanistan last year but i was wrong. If anyone has a recall roster for the 82nd Airborne Division, I'd like to borrow it.
