I never seen nor knew about Bad Manners

One day recently Me & My Mom were going to watch YT or Peacock or both. Well Our Internet provider Spectrum/Charter had a big maintenance update, that meant no internet for hours and We usually watch TV for a long while. We're like well what are We going to watch She came up with a good idea/plan. She has this old DVD Set Tough Guys Set called Men of Action of old movies that she bought way back in the in mid 2000s and We never watched it, it was still basically brad new. Well, that started a trend for at least a couple weeks there as there is 20 movies on there. Like I said before, people and this generation rely on the Internet all too much and what are they going to do when there's no Internet whatever the cause maybe It's always, always good to have a physical copy of something in hand whether it's a movie, video game or music. I've always been like that and you don't want to be SOL as Dirty Harry would say. Now with that being said, the very first movie on her set was this 1953 Humphrey Bogart movie called Beat the Devil



I know you like Bogey PB I never seen it before, it was quite different, here's the trailer

That was actually a pretty good movie. I like most things with Bogey in it, so it isn't hard to please me.

Oh that's good. I never seen Sabrina. I'm not that hard to please about stuff either

Here's Disney's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time



It's based from the video game. I've only played the SNES game. I saw the film during the absolute huge movie year of 2010. It was quite good



The score is great by Harry Gregson-Williams, of Hans Zimmer's many good colleagues

Never played the game nor saw the movie. Didn't really do much of either around that time.

Dan Akroyd is 72 today!

I never seen The Couch Trip. How about that, the guy at the end of the trailer is the Sedgewick Hotel manager in Ghostbusters Happy B-Day to Dan Aykroyd, one of the best and most intelligent actors



I liked the Prince of Persia game for the SNES, the gameplay was like Castlevania but not scary and not as fun but I never got involved further than that with the franchise besides the movie. Like I said, 2010 was a huge movie year, possibly even more massive than 1996. I saw a ton of movies in 2010, around 30 movies the whole year at the show I kid you not, it was a very busy year for Me as there was a ton of good ones to see not to mention other events too. I've posted some of the movies already here with your topic PB Okay, here's another one that I saw around the time of The Prince of Persia, it was another Disney film called The Sorcerer's Apprentice starring Nicolas Cage



It's a modern tale based from the French Symphonic Poem and Disney Segment of the original Fantasia of the same name It's a also a real good one. The film is a Jerry Bruckheimer film who uses Cage a lot, I don't know if you noticed that which is kinda important to know especially if you follow Cage. Alfred Molina is in the film as well. The movie is made pretty well.



Trevor Rabin (of YES!) scores this one. He is Harry Gregson-Williams' musical partner, part of Hans Zimmer's guys and also is used a lot by Jerry Bruckheimer and loves his music in the movies. Again, if you follow Nicolas Cage, Bruckeimer and the composers used you'll see how their part of the same overall ensemble group, I've known this since way back and I hope there's people out that also knows this because it's really fun to do and listen to It's like oh this Cage movie that composer and that Nic Cage has this composer..it's so fun So Rabin does the music pretty good. It's not My fave score of his though, that one is 99's Deep Blue Sea. However, I love the fact that he incorporates Paul Dukas' Sorcerer's Apprentice theme from Fantasia. Dukas was one of the last classical composers. He wrote the Musical Poem in 1897 Here's this great cue, if you know Sorcerer's Apprentice's theme then immediately you'll be able to recognize this



Here's this one cue that Trevor Rabin composed as well It has your usual Media Venture sound like Con-Air, Armageddon, National Treasure, Pirates of the Caribbean etc...all by Trevor Rabin & Gregson-Williams and Zimmer & produced by Bruckheimer



One day soon I'll spotlight Disney's Fantasia film because I'm very fond of that plus Fantasia 2000 as well

I remember that one coming out and even though the amazing Nic Cage was in it, I've never seen it. I just lost interest in watching the majority of movies in recent years. But not the classics, like Airplane! that premiered 44 years ago today on July 2, 1980!

I see. Well keep that one in mind You already featured Airplane but that is great that you chose a different trailer for it, in fact I don't think I seen that one before I didn't know it came out on yesterday's date but I did know it came out in 1980, a year before I was born...all of that is fantastic Yes, watching the classics never get's old. I could watch My Science Project, Big Trouble in Little China and Ghostbusters back to back all the time and it would still be wonderful

Okay, on My Mom's Men of Action DVD Set, there was this movie. I never seen it before starring James Cagney, it came out in 1945 and it's called Blood on the Sun



This was My fave movie of her entire set...I had no idea how darn good this was It was right up My alley. It takes place in Japan. The Japanese culture and people is pretty accurate and not whitewashed that much at all. James Cagney is a tough guy as always. This is one of the very few movies I seen of Sylvia Sidney, the very first one I seen her in was Beetlejuice. Robert Armstrong from King Kong and The Son of Kong plays a Japanese leader. Cagney is very impressive and plays a reporter in the 1930s to expose that Japan wants to take over the world Here's the trailer



Now, I WAS VERY IMPRESSED ABOUT this. This is 1945. Martial Arts was only beginning to be in films yet it's greatly focused here. Cagney studied JUDO...the "Godfather of Grappling" Gene LeBell was only 13 in 1945...I've talked about him before, he was the teacher of Chuck Norris, Roddy Piper, Ludvig Borga and Ronda Rousey What I'm saying is that this movie PREDATES ALL OF THAT and is displaying great Judo stuff and didn't catch on till years later...I always find it amazing how stuff like that is when I see stuff when it began yet there's this more famous stuff yet the original didn't catch on with people Here's this clip as you see James Cagney performing JUDO and doing it quite well

I've seen a couple Cagney films but that's not one of them.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Oh I've only seen a few Cagney films Myself. I was so amazed by that film how cool it was and that it predated so much. Like I said before, so much is in the past, it's all there to find That Cagney movie, Footlight Parade FROM 1933 looked pretty good

Okay today is a double feature...both is by Oliver Stone. I've never seen this one before...



It came out in 1989...35 years ago this year



The music is excellent by John Williams



Next up is this one that I've seen before. JFK from 1991. My Grandma really liked it I've said before that when she was a young woman before she met My Grandpa she was one of main campaigning girls at the Kennedy Headquarters in St. Louis She had a absolute crush on John Fitzgerald Kennedy and she told Me that all the time





In fact I just watched this last year with My Mom for the 60th Anniversary of JFK's assassination in November. John Candy has some role there too

Here's this excellent music by John Williams

I only remember how long JFL was, lol. I've never actually seen Born on the Fourth July. Movies about that era never really interested me much.
