Transcribe →"Bravo Two Zero"
Jan 2200:45:56Tap to summarizeSean Bean stars in "Bravo Two Zero" a BBC original movie (and boy, you can tell) about a team of SAS soldiers who infiltrate behind enemy lines in the Gulf War, also known as the Iraq War I, also known as Desert Storm. The mission goes off the rails quickly but there's lots of good action and dialogue.

Transcribe →The Christmas Charade
Dec 1800:48:06Tap to summarizeThe Spy-Fi Guys' first Hallmark movie exceeded their expectations with clever writing and twists they didn't see coming, even if everything else is exactly what you'd expect from a Hallmark movie.

Transcribe →"Smoke & Mirrors"
Nov 2000:53:45Tap to summarizeThe overpromising but well executed "Smoke & Mirrors" also known as "El hombre de las mil caras" is not about smoke, or mirrors, or men with a thousand faces. It does have an interesting story with some new things to learn, though it's all in Spanish so not for the subtitle-averse.
