Saw "Greyhound" Today
Released directly onto Apple+ today, Tom Hanks' latest, an adaptation of C.S. Forester's book, The Good Shepherd. It is the story of a WWII destroyer commander's first run between the U.S. and Britain in 1942 as a destroyer screen commander, all the while being hounded by a wolf pack of German U-boats. I won't give anything away. It is only an hour and a half long but I arrived at the end panting. It is well worth the watch. It had been advertised as a film about him the commander's battle with self-doubt but it it seems more a thriller with the protagonist trying to get a handle on his responsibilities and outsmart his foes in a threat-rich environment. I'll be buying it on Blu Ray. Bob

Our Hi-def TV is from a vintage that is non-smart, so my wife picked up an Apple TV hockey puck to see stuff on alternate channels. It came with a free year of Apple TV+, or we wouldn't have Apple TV+ either.
It makes you wonder what's going to happen to all these movies that were slated for premier during COVID. I want to see this one in the theater. Bob

I'll have to check it out. I activated my free year subscription when the Beastie Boys live documentary was released, but haven't watched anything else.

With our $100+ cable bill already, it seems to never end... Eagles concert and best sports only on ESPN Yellowstone only on Paramount. HBO and HBO+ Showtime Hulu Amazon Starz Disney and on and on and on. Where we live Comcast is basically the only game around and there is no option to subscribe to only what you want to watch. |

We had a funny thing happen the other day. My son had kind of proudly cut the cable and was using his Play Station to use just a few channels. The other day he turned around to me and said, "We just realized that we've slowly added services to the point where it adds up to the cost of a cable subscription." Everyone has his own comfort zone and that's fine! I bet this movie will be out on hard media fairly soon. Bob
