Monsters is very good film, a lot managed on modest money. The second film has only just recently come out in the cinema.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Paths of Glory
Kirk Douglas as a French army officer putting his neck on the line with unhinged Superior officer.
Directed by Stanley Kubrik it's a masterpiece and one of the best (imo) films about War ever made.
Absolute classic.

Yep, Paths of Glory is a classic. Hardly ever on TV, though.
Just watched a documentery on PBS about Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL). They might be stone cold killers but you have to have a grudging admiration for what they have accomplished.

Blood on the Sun (1945) starring James Cagney and Sylvyia Syndey. Cagney as an American reporter in Japan pre war trying to expose their plans for world domonation.
James Cagney trained intensively in the martial-art of judo in preparation for his role in this movie. Cagney trained under Ken Kuniyuki who was a 5th Degree Judo Master. Cagney went on to insist he perform his own stunts in this movie. He said in his memoirs: "I grew so fond of judo I used it to keep in shape until a back injury I picked up doing something else, put me on the sidelines." Moreover, another instructor for Cagney was former LAPD policeman John Halloran who plays the role of Captain Oshima in the film and can be seen in the movie's closing fight sequence. Apparently, Halloran quit the police force after FBI agents investigated him because he was an expert in judo.

Sitting down tonight to "Chappie", Nial Blomkamps scifi film about artificial intelligence, yet again (groan) set in the slums of South Africa.
Film looks good mind...double feature of that and "Ex Machina", a similarly themed movie but a bit more cerebral I think.
