Das Boot - the directors cut. Recorded it recently and got round to watching it the other day. Seen it before, of course, but this this time the wife got into it too. Quite extroadinary. Great watch - there's even more tension in the original series...

Excellent movie. I loved the part at the end, where he's standing in the grocery store with his wife and kid, and she sends him to grab cereal...he's standing there, staring at an entire aisle....folks back home really have NO idea what true hardship is like.
 
IMDb - Haywire (2011) Short summary: don't waste your time. Classic case of "plot thinner than a Victoria Secret undies model, and containing more holes and loose ends than a hobo's socks". Throw a bunch of big-ticket A-list actors in there to draw crowds, and hope that nobody notices the crappy directing and writing. I don't think there were two plot elements that meshed seamlessly in the entire movie, and not one gratuitous boob-flash to try to make it worth my time. That's just criminal.
 
2 awesome games of IPL Twenty20 cricket. In the second game AB De Villiers was just insane, smacked the best fast bowler in the world for a 90m (100ft) six off a ball that was pretty much a yorker. Even the bowler himself and a smile and a laugh about it, it was the ridiculous.
 
Dang, that's amazing! Just when I started to think you were typing "English"...then "cricket" was mentioned....and it all went Sanskrit. How'd you do it?

 
Just watched a docu that was amazing!

'Every Day Is A Holiday'

For POW-Turned-Doctor, 'Every Day Is A Holiday' | Here Now

As a 19 year-old Chinese Malay serving in the British Royal Air Force during World War II, Paul Loong was captured by the Japanese and did hard labor for three years in a prisoner of war camp. He promised himself that if he survived the camp, "every day would be a holiday." Paul went through great lengths to become an American citizen during a time when only 105 Chinese immigrants per year were permitted to gain citizenship. He became a merchant marine, because the laws at the time allowed anyone who served aboard a U.S. ship for five years to become citizens. But that fell through. So Paul enlisted in the U.S. Army, and went on to fight another war in Korea. After serving in the 25th ID 89th Tank Company - http://books.google.com/books?id=_u...GAQ6AEwCTgK#v=onepage&q=paul y. loong&f=false - and surviving Korea, he still wasn't accepted for citizenship. About to be deported, he was to get a NJ Congressman to petition the Congress and grant him citizenship in 1955 - Page:United States Statutes at Large Volume 69.djvu/28 - Wikisource. He then used the GI Bill to study to become a doctor in Bologna, Italy and return to the US to be a doctor at the Veterans Hospital in New Jersey. An amazing journey and life. In the docu he returns to the prison camp and to see an 88 yr old man race to see the camp site is heart rending. Excellent 1 hour of my life!

Ditto - The scene of the Hulk stopping Loki in mid sentence and expressing his disappointment regarding Loki's supercilious attitude was 'priceless' - one of the greatest action hero scenes of all time.

I'm still laughing my ass off.
 
Hey Mess, is it better to see the pre-quels before seeing "Avengers"? I noticed (and my hunch was confirmed) that the last few years movies like "Ironman", "Capt America", "Thor", etc., were out in theatres, obviously leading up to this pic.
