Laura's Miscellaneous Musings: On Memorial Day

Monday, May 29, 2023

Remembering with heartfelt gratitude the brave men and women who gave their all for our nation and our freedom.

DKoren said...: Amen. Happy Memorial Day!; 7:46 AM

I've been trying to watch some more new movies this year (as long as they're not woke) and discovered two good action/war movies you might also find interesting.

First is 12 Strong (2018) about Afghanistan, the second has become a new favorite. 13 Hours (2016) about Benghazi. Both are rated R, but then they're war movies.
Also Guy Ritchie's The Covenant is really worth watching.; 7:58 PM
Laura said...: Thank you both for your comments, Deb and Margot.

Margot, I picked up an inexpensive copy of 12 STRONG a while back at my son's recommendation. I haven't seen it yet but my mother borrowed and liked it, which intrigued me! I should bump it up in the viewing stack. I've also made a note about 13 HOURS and THE COVENANT. I'd heard of the first film but not the second. Thank you! Always appreciate recommendations, including for newer action movies which are worthwhile.

PS I just saw DECOY for the first time and it dawned on me where you got your online handle LOLLLLLL.

Best wishes,

Decoy is crazy fun, isn't it?; 8:34 PM
Laura said...: Wow, I loved it. Utterly crazy! I'll have a review posted here next week. :)

Best wishes,
