I watched Amsterdam on HBO a few days ago.

Christian Bale was fabulous. (He's looking a little thin, to me.)

Good story. The very end of the movie had short video of Gen. Smedley Butler.

1. Just watched it tonight - excellent, anti-fascist dark comedy/mystery based on a true story.

It flopped big time at the box office, but hopefully will do better on streaming.

I highly recommend it,

2. It's terrific and revolves around the 1933 Business Plot revealed by Gen Butler.

3. Ok. Sounds informative. Congratulations if you've had the opportunity to travel to Europe

Butler was a great patriot and seemed to have a real moral center, even for a Marine.

4. I am so glad to see that others

liked it! It was here and gone in no time and I hear it did not do well. This was my husbands choice for a Birthday movie and my oldest son and I took him. It was a great show. I could not believe how much I enjoyed it, we all did.

Christian Bale was fabulous! I did not even know it was him for a while. It also had Michael Shannon, my son and I really like him a lot. The whole cast was good.

6. If you like Michael Shannon

Have you seen "Bug"? HO-LEE-SHIT!!!

[MuseRider]

7. No I have not!

My son and I are planning on catching his new movie about Tammy Wynett ( sp? I have no idea, so NOT a fan) because he is in it. I will look for "Bug" and try to cover it too. Thanks!

8. Well, you might want to read a bit about it first

It also has a stellar performance by Ashley Judd.

Take Shelter is great as well. He's such a chameleon.
