Baghdad Central (2020)
Really enjoyed the show except for one mistake
I really enjoyed the mixture of Arabic and English the characters were speaking. My Arabic is not great but I could follow a lot of what people were saying.
The one mistake I spotted gave me a big grin on my face. The union flag on Frank Temple's desk in episode one is upside down. If you look at the side of the flag nearest the pole it has the narrow white band upper most. This normally denotes that the person flying the flag is in distress.
The Accountant (2016)
the british voice on the phone
I just watched this movie on a long international flight and liked it so much i bought a copy when i got home.
I love all the different plot threads as the movie jumps between the different people.
I love the bit when the two brothers meet and realise who each other is. then beat each other up and arrange to meet up next week.
But for me the big realisation was right at the end of the movie when the woman types into the computer to speak and I realised that the voice that the accountant trusts is the girl who gave him the final piece to the puzzle all those years before.
Great movie. not your average action movie
Les femmes de l'ombre (2008)
great potential but spoiled by historical blunders
I enjoy movies like this where the characters are speaking their own language. For example i really like the German language version of Das Boot. However the historical blunders spoiled the movie for me. If the Geologist had been in possession of such detailed information of the mulberry harbour units he would have been "BIGOT" listed and would never have been allowed out of England to make the survey. Then the use of a C47 for dropping agents was not done. It would have been a Lancaster or other bomber converted to drop agents. The date of the mission means that invasion stripes would not have been on any aircraft. the order to paint invasion stripes did not go out until June 3rd. Apart from one squadron of Mustangs. If a silenced pistol had been needed a single shot Welrod would have been used not the automatic one that the character used in the movie. overall a good shoot em up for a rainy afternoon but spoiled by the inaccuracies.
Bridge of Spies (2015)
great movie did you spot the oopsy?
Great movie. It left me wanting to learn how to say "Standing Man" in Russian. I hope that "James Donovan" the main character is accurately represented by Tom Hanks. An amazing man who stood for what is right even against his own government. However did you spot the mistake with the pilots uniforms. In the movie the pilots are wearing tan uniforms as used to be worn by the Army Air Force. By the end of 1952 all US air force personnel were required to wear blue uniforms so that the period of 1957-60 would not have seen the uniforms that props issued to the actors playing the pilots. In-spite of that i like the way that the paranoia of the time about the soviets and the bomb were represented. It really reminded me of our modern equivalent of being paranoid about anyone who comes from a Muslim country.
