JUST SEEN THE NEW MOVIE "STAR TREK...INTO DARKNESS."
HERE IN CALGARY THEY ARE GIVING IT AN 8 OUT OF 10.
YES I WOULD AGREE.....FOR SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE BUFFS [I TEND TO LIKE MOST OF THEM].....IT IS A VERY FINE PRODUCTION.
WELL WORTH THE VIEWING.
..........
TODAY IS THE EXACT DAY OF THE BRITISH "DAM BUSTERS" IN THE SECOND WOLRD WAR.
YOUNGER ONES, WELL THAT IS NOW MOST OF US, INCLUDING ME, WILL NOT REMEMBER IT IN THE TIME IT HAPPENED.
A MOVIE WAS MADE ABOUT IT. I HAVE IT, SENT FOR IT. DO REMEMBER SEEING IT AS A KID IN ENGLAND WHEN IT CAME OUT.
VERY FINE MOVIE INDEED.....BLACK AND WHITE, BUT WELL WORTH PUTTING ON YOUR LIST TO SEE; HISTORIC TRUTH; GOOD EDUCATION FOR YOUR YOUNG CHILDREN ALSO.
VERY REMARKABLE. WITH NO MODERN TECH STUFF IN PLANES AND NIGHT GOGGLES TO FLY WITH [IT TOOK PLACE AT NIGHT], THE BRITISH AND SOME CANADIANS, WENT TO GERMANY'S HEART OF INDUSTRY TO BLOW UP 3 DAMS; THEY MANAGED TO BLOW APART TWO OF THEM, AND FLOOD THE GERMAN INDUSTRY HEARTLAND.
THE UNIQUE WAY IS SOMEWHAT HARD TO BELIEVE THEY COULD DO IT, TOOK A FEW MONTHS OF PRACTICE, A LOW FLIGHT, AND A SPECIAL BOUNCING BOMB, TIMING WAS THE KEY.
WILL NOT SAY ANY MORE....RENT THE MOVIE AND WATCH IT, ONE OF THE GREAT AIRIAL ATTACKS ON GERMANY.
ABOUT 130 PILOTS AND SKILLED MEN WERE PART OF THE LANCASTER BOMBER PLANES THAT DID THE JOB. ABOUT 50 MEN NEVER MADE IT BACK, SHOT DOWN BY THE GERMANS.
TODAY WAS EXACTLY 70 YEARS SINCE THAT EXTRA-ORDINARY EVENT TOOK PLACE.
SO PUT THAT MOVIE ON YOUR LIST FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN [SAY 7 YEARS AND OLDER] TO WATCH SOMEDAY.
