Darkest Hour is out on DVD -- bought me a copy today. I can't wait to watch this fantastic movie again.
I finished the book on Sunday. As usual, the movie is full of Hollywood embellishments. However, while there is much compression and compositioning of people and events, nothing is flat out made up...
I saw 12 Strong on Saturday, it was excellent. Now I've got to read the book to see how accurate it is.
I stopped watching awards show long before they became controversial. Awards show are too long and I have better things to do.

We have Patton on film, he sounded nothing like George C. Scott, having a higher-pitched voice.
Darkest Hour is Fantastic! Everyone should see this movie.
My most accurate list:
1. Tora Tora Tora
3. We Were Soldiers
5. Midway
7. Bridges at Toko Ri
This article rates Hurt Locker as the 10th most truly inaccurate war films:

Ranking the last three movies I saw in a theater:
1. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit -- Wow. Just, wow.
2. Lone Survivor -- as always, the book was better.
3. Monuments Men -- good but not great

Some movies I have seen recently:
Another Thin Man (1939) starring William Powell, Myrna Loy and Virginia Grey.
I like old movies, and the Thin Man movies are fantastic -- Powell and Loy are...
