All Quiet On The Western Front (2022) ***

After "Mutiny On The Bounty" (1935-1962) and "West Side Story" (1961-2021), this is the third remake of a Best Picture Oscar winner. What film will be next ? And why are all the pacifistic "war is pure hell" movies always set during World War I, and never during World War II ? Oh yes, and the film is absolutely riveting.

Don't Miss Out (2022) ***

Larry David got sued for this FTX commercial after the company went belly up in November 2022. And yet, in the ad, David is actually advising AGAINST investing in crypto currency. The commercial, that first aired during 2022 Super Bowl, features the Seinfeld co-creator playing various historical naysayers as he shoots down mankind’s greatest technical achievements. Almost 100 million viewers watched a doubtful David reject the wheel, the fork, the indoor toilet and the moon landing in a colourful array of period-appropriate outfits before the modern day star of Curb Your Enthusiasm rejected a suggestion to use the FTX app to invest in crypto currency. The hilariously hubristic message “Don’t Be Like Larry” then flashes across the screen.
