Just watched a Turkish movie called Operation Cicero.
A British embassy in Turkey hired a local to be the personal valet of the ambassador during WWII.
The valet will steal important documents and sold to the Nazi for money.
He fell in love with a lady who works for the Nazi who paid for the documents,she has a child with Down Syndrome.
Hitler wants to rid all the misfits and her child is on the list.
She went to the British and told them they have a mole in their embassy code name Cicero.in exchange for visas to go to Switzerland with her son.
But the British said this is not good enough,she must identify who is Cicero.
To make a long story short,the spy code name Cicero stole documents of when the Allied will attack the German for 600,000 British pounds in exchange for her and her son to go to Switzerland.
The Nazi got the documents,unfortunately Cicero has changed the date of the attack.
Anyway Cicero is promoted by the Turkey goverment to promote the republic,'
Beautiful scenery,people,fashion,good acting too.
TUBI is free.
Thank you! I totally forgot about Tubi! Finding all kinds of good stuff on there!

I am surprised this movie is not on AMZN prime,as it has two versions of that Israeli spy who infiltrated the Syrian govt,it is based on real events,this one is better.
I have watched several Turkish movies,they are all nicely done.
Yes,TUBI has award winning foreign movies.

The last one I watched was Jumanji 2. There are a lot of elements with nature, sometimes it seemed that you were taking an active part in the picture and were fighting monkeys on a suspension bridge. The plot is, of course, predictable, but some moments definitely surprised me. This time the heroes, transported to Jumanji, switched roles, which was initially unusual. At the very beginning of the film, the plot seemed boring or heavy, drove you into depression, but probably, without this prehistory, the middle of the plot would not have been so funny. I liked the film very much. Both the first and second parts are super!

Deep Red

It was in my horror collection as The Hatchet Murders. Like most old Italian flicks made into a movie collection, it can be hard to follow at times but David Hemmings' acting, the music score (predates Kill Bill by decades), and the camera angles are excellent. Further, what one thinks is a "poorly made movie" flaw is not a flaw at all........but with so many bad flicks seen, we assume that first as counter seeing it part of the intrigue. Say a 7.6.

Soul on Disney+. Would have liked it better if they hadn't gone to The Great Before. The artwork in the NYC portions is amazing.

Shadow Warriors

Ohhh, there is a way or two of how to describe this movie. It's like Airplane! in trying to mix all the factors of action, like Get Smart with a Code 16, together. The thing is, this movie is still taking itself seriously. Or it is like an adult flick of the 90s of a thin theme connecting the bed room scenes only here it is non stop violence thinly connected together. I must admit that there was a bit of sexual excitement when an actual Mil Mi-24 Hind showed up! The photography is somewhat decent but like a John Woo movie, the bullets are flying freely and often without a care of how much is in the magazine or what goes up must come down. Say a 1.0.

Alan Partridge, Alpha Papa - 2013 Trailer


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7yhz8bUFK0

This was pretty good, if you're into Steve Coogan or familiar w/ the 'I'm Alan Partridge' series from the 90s.
