Yesterday afternoon I streamed The Six Triple Eight on Netflix. Recommended. It’s the sort of movie Hollywood should be making rather than the historically revisionist patronizing garbage they seem to prefer. It had a brief theatrical release earlier this month so I expect the movie, Kerry Washington, and Tyler Perry to garner some nominations when Oscar time comes around. They’ll be well-deserved.
I didn’t like and didn’t finish Six Triple Eight. The war scenes were too fake.
On the other hand, I did like Carry-On. It will never displace the Bruce Willis’ Xmas movies, but it is entertaining enough.
I noticed the similarity between Carry On and Die Hard as well. I was somewhat surprised at how well-acted it was.
