American Greed: Boeing's Deadly Design (2022)
A New Slant on a Familiar Story
"Boeing's Deadly Design" looks at a big news story where two new Boeing 737 Max jets went out of control and crashed five months apart, killing 346 people. Boeing found problems with its software program known as MCAS. American Greed shows how it also could be because of a corporate culture that values shareholders profits over passenger safety. Competitive pressure, a flawed design, and problematic oversight of the Boeing jet led to the crashes after shortcuts were taken, and safety procedures were deleted. The essential software system known as MCAS was put into use without proper oversight, and without telling pilots what they need to know in the event of a problem.
Mayday: Fatal Distraction (2008)
WRONG ENDING
During the years after the crash, stories began circulating that employees of Eastern Air Lines had seen ghosts of the dead crew members aboard other L-1011 aircraft. These stories speculated that parts of the crashed aircraft were salvaged and refitted into other L-1011s, and the hauntings were seen only on the planes that used the spare parts. Eastern Air Lines reportedly removed all the salvaged parts from their L-1011 fleet, and the ghost sightings stopped.
According to Robert J. Serling's 1980 book "From the Captain to the Colonel: An Informal History of Eastern Airlines", the claim that wreckage from Flight 401 was installed and later removed from other aircraft was false, and no Eastern employees had ever claimed to have seen or believed in the alleged ghost sightings.
A number of movies, books, and television documentaries about Flight 401 have promoted the false ghost stories.
Then Came You (2020)
"Inside Joke"
The acting was OK. The story was OK. The cinematography looks like it was filmed entirely using iPhones. The best part was seeing Craig Ferguson - - who often berated Cathy Lee Gifford - - working with her.

FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T LIKE IT:
If you didn't like this movie, it might be because you overlooked an important, easy-to-miss detail. The complex story is very well hidden inside what could be an otherwise boring movie. You have to pay close attention to every word, and consider the possibility that anything could mean something entirely different. Keep studying and analyzing every detail throughout the movie, then the real story will come together in the end. If a distraction caused you to miss just one event or one line of dialogue, you might never understand what's really happening. And the scrambled timeline in this movie adds to the challenge. I did not fully understand the story until I had watched it a couple times. This is one of the greatest movies ever made, but half the audience disliked it because they expect to be entertained the way other movies do. This movie doesn't do that. It makes you work for it.
Ad Astra (2019)
Some good parts, but mostly bad.
Without giving away any details, here is one example of the many problems with this movie: After it's over, the person who, for no reason, killed three crew members is free, not a criminal.
The Man from Utah (1934)
Wrong Voices
The colorized version with the synthesizer music added has another problem many viewers don't realize - The original actors voices have been replaced. No one wants to watch John Wayne if there is an unknown actor's voice dubbed over everything. This movie is more like a cartoon.
