The Orville (2017)
Galaxy Quest made into a series
I didn't find the first episode of (The Orville) show to be very funny even though its supposed to be a funny space show that parodies Star Trek etc.
I would warn parents with (little ones/small children) that some of the language used was rude and vulgar in nature.
I remember a movie Galaxy Quest back in 1999 and this show certainly seems to be very similar, perhaps copied from that movie, a couple aliens are different but many things (ships, uniforms, aliens) are very similar to the Galaxy Quest movie.
If you absolutely loved the movie (Galaxy Quest) and don't have small children and you don't mind adult (sexual and vulgar language) then this show might be for you.
All the Young Men (1960)
Good movie about fighting in Korea
I had a friend that fought in the Korean War as a combat soldier and he told me about one winter they had a 20yr snow (hip deep) and blistering cold in Korea and this movie reminded me of those kinds of conditions, many soldiers died in Korea but not only by the enemies bullets but also by freezing to death.
Not a fast paced war movie like most people prefer because of the snow and it also has a racism content as it becomes clear from the beginning that not many like the character Sgt. Towler played by Sidney Poitier and that included Sgt. Kincaid played by Allan Ladd but over time they captured each others respect.
I actually enjoyed the movie, true Poitier and Ladd carry the movie at times but IMO its not as bad as some might think based on the other review. Worth a watch IMO.
