What's this about?

Lately, it seems like many of the movies/shows are just a rehash or reboot of things that have already been done. And so I started to dive into the past. It's been fun, but I find myself losing track of which ones I’ve seen and whether or not I enjoyed them. Sometimes the titles themselves just don't tell me enough to remember.

I wouldn’t have voluntarily watched a lot of these movies when I was younger. It’s strange how interests change. That goes for what I read, too. I have another blog that explores books. I’m mostly reading older fiction and memoirs, and some of the books have led me to movies/shows and vice versa. In those cases, I may post the book review over here as well.

There will be spoilers, which is different than my book reviews. That’s mostly because I want to have enough information to help me remember what I’ve seen. I’m getting older. The brain doesn’t cooperate like it used to. What can I say? The gray hairs are catching up with me!

Target for Tonight - 1941

This is basically an hour-long recruitment video for the RAF. It follows a raid, specifically the plane "F for Freddie" as they fly to Freihausen to bomb a storage facility in Germany.

It was interesting to see all the different people involved in the mission. A few actors were in there, but there were also real servicemen. According to the film's director, most of the the flight officers and crew that appeared didn't make it through the war.

There isn't much to say about this movie. It's short and shows what it's meant to show. It hides certain things that would have been advantageous for the enemy to see, and certain names and numbers are changed for the film. I found it to be really interesting, but I can understand why not everyone would agree. Personally, I'm giving it a Good Movie! review.
