The Last Movie You Watched
RE: The Last Movie You Watched
^I enjoyed that one though it did get sappy and predictable. Not as good as the 1974 novel, The Forever War, by Joe Haldeman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forever_War

Not really many parallels to Haldeman's book, which I enjoyed immensely.

Haldeman's story actually made sense, and was scientifically accurate.  This is one of the main reason I (as an engineer) really appreciate Larry Niven's work, as well.
Disappointing theists since 1968!

Captain Phillips (2013) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Phillips_(film)

A thriller based on the Maersk Alabama piracy incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maersk_Alabama_hijacking that mostly plays the ink and gets it right. The best performance, by far, comes from Barkhad Abdi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barkhad_Abdi playing the lead pirate. Abdi sustains the tension with his eyes and actions more than with his lines. The film keeps things moving with minimal character development as we are tossed into the action pretty much from the start. Hanks's Vermonter accent is passable but he could have spent more time with the dialogue coach for the role.

Hanks essentially reprises the role in Sully three years later.

Deadpool & Wolverine. Not just for comic/movie nerds, but it helps.
