Blackout (2013)
Entertaining film noir spoof
I liked this movie. Lots of laughs, most of them unintentional. I think Joe's tie changes from scene to scene. No explanation of how he lost his memory, what the money in the bag was all about, lots of continuity blips like this. They probably could not afford to re-shoot anything. Hard boiled all the way. Emily is gorgeous, and can really sing. Sadie plays the hard moll perfectly. The Russian guy is adequately nasty. Fits my needs for a popcorn and box wine flick.
Buzz One Four (2017)
Good movie, bad teaser
As a former B-52 flier, I really enjoyed this movie. It had lots of great footage of early B-52 ops.
The teaser is crummy. The bombs were never lost, there was no cover-up. Maybe on other broken arrows, but not this one.
The whole kerfuffle about the vertical stabilizer didn't make sense. The vertical stabilizers on the tall-tail B-52s (A-F) were never changed out for shorter tails. The G and H had shorter tails for better low level performance. The aircraft shown landing with the vertical stabilizer missing was a B-52H, which had a short tail from the factory.
Still, a good movie, and worth watching. The producer obviously has never flown the B-52, but he did a good job honoring his grandfather.
