Good Movies / NUREMBERG (2025)
Last post by indianasmith - November 23, 2025, 10:55:53 PM
  I have been wanting to see this ever since I saw the trailer on YouTube this spring.  I was a bit disappointed that our local theater didn't air it, but on the first day of our Thanksgiving Break (yesterday), Patty and I drove over to AMC Firewheel in Garland to watch it (that's a northeastern suburb of Dallas, about an hour away). Even though it cost twice what our little theater in Sulphur Springs charges, I was glad we made the trip.  This film is INCREDIBLY well done.  Russell Crowe gave an Oscar-worthy performance as Hermann Goering, who is menacing and charming by turn. Rami Malek gives the lead character, psychologist Dr. Dopuglas Kelly, a cynical yet vulnerable personality who is both attracted and repulsed by the evil he sees in Goering.  Michael Shannon brings a great deal of gravitas and dignity to the character of Robert Jackson, the Supreme Court Justice who acted as chief prosecutor at Nuremberg.
   Overall, this was probably the single best movie I have seen this year.  Beautifully filmed, perfectly cast, and largely historically accurate, NUREMBERG is history, drama, a memory, and a warning.  If I can find a way to do it, this will be required viewing for my history classes in the future. 5/5

I knew some of this but not all.  Best wishes and prayers to you and Kristi both!
It seems small in the greater scheme of things now, but I really did hate not getting to see you when you were in the states.  Hopefully the stars will align for us to meet up another time.
I still owe you a fossil hunt.

Tonight's Stinker
And God Said to Cain (1970)
https://youtu.be/Mk0y_11w_Ms?si=uzH3FlvWlvIDYUdb

Spaghetti western with Klaus Kinski....
After ten years on a chain gang, Kinski is pardoned for a crime he didn't commit....
He sets out for revenge, meeting the son of the man who framed him, who doesn't know who he is.... He asks the young man to tell his father to expect him & gives him a canteen....
Kinski then goes to an old friend to buy a horse & a rifle.... The old friend expects a storm, as do the people of the nearby town...
Back in the town, the young man tells his father about the meeting & gives him the canteen... His father knows what it means, and sends his crew out to kill Kinski....
Kinski uses the storm & an old underground tunnel to pick off the guards one by one....
As the bodies pile up, nerves are frayed, & the young man grows increasingly suspicious.....

Decent little spaghetti western, decent paced....

It's true - QUIZ SHOW was made for old folks.  :bouncegiggle: It's probably quite a testament to the film that kids could recognize it was good, in spite of it having no CGI, no exploding heads, and few or no funny gags. It did resonate even more the second time I watched it (in my 20s).

Quote from: Alex on November 22, 2025, 10:37:02 AMUntil you mentioned it, I wasn't aware that he was playing Micky. Most of the time, you'll see him in costume, sneering at whoever is about to be his victim. They've dealt with the limited SFX budget by not having him share the screen very much with full-size people, from what I remember (although I would have to say I watched this during a 12-hour night shift where my other option for entertainment would have been to chat with a right-wing racist guy, I chose this as the more interesting option.
I'm checking it out later. I don't expect a lot. I'm interested though. Mainly cause of him, even if it's limited.
