A former foreign advisor turned citizen-journalist travels to his mother's homeland of Ukraine only to discover that communism doesn't work and the main stream media is fake news.
It's patient and moody, and, although it has its truth, it's release is American propaganda timed for the Russia-Ukraine war.

A dude goes places and does things, looking for some stuff I think. There are explosions and is smoking.
Noted here just for one of those "oh, I've seen that" references.
I don't recall particularly liking or disliking it.

During World War II, a lucky Soviet soldier is fictionalized into a hero, but he truly earns that distinction only to find himself up against the German's very best.
With a good pace and atmosphere, this movie is riveting.
Based on Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad (1973 book), by William Craig

The widow of an underground-resistance fighter falls in love but her life gets complicated when she learns her husband didn't die.
I can easily see the allure of this movie, and I don't have complaints, but it doesn't do it for me. The legacy of this movie remains in all sorts of little quotes that I recognize. I know I must have seen this years ago, and it's stuck in my head until even now. I don't regret re-watching this, but it's not something I'll watch again.

No notes were taken. I doubt I'll re-watch this any time soon, if ever.
This is a standard Hollywood film, with extra emphasis on Nationalism. Has some offensively American moments, but is generally okay. It's a bloody long film.
