A chronicle of the original Mercury astronauts in the formation of America’s space program: Alan Shepherd, the first American in space; Gus Grissom, the benighted astronaut for whom nothing works out as planned; John Glenn, the straight-arrow ‘boy scout’ of the bunch who was the first American to orbit the earth; and the remaining pilots: Deke Slayton, Scott Carpenter, Wally Schirra, an"

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 2 (130 movies items)

"Pros: The performances, especially by Scott Glenn. The cinematography. It’s a epically well made film. The soundtrack for The Right Stuff. It’s one of the best films, about the space race. Con: It can be considered overly patriotic, for some."

Movies the giraffe watched in 2022: June (26 movies items)

"First viewing - June 20th HBO Max I really wish they'd cut this down a bit as there are too many threads to sustain & it doesn't wrap them all up very satisfactorily, resulting in an ending that doesn't stick. The attention to detail impresses though, & I'm glad it included some touches of humor to help it be more palatable. Plus the cast is just a murderer's row. I also appreciated the effort put into exploring what the wives of these men had to endure (though in some cases it might've dug dee"

" Notes: To be honest, for some reasons, I have never been really attracted by this movie. It probably had to do with its title. Indeed, on one hand, it was annoyingly patriotic and, on the other hand, it is simply plain lame. Still, this movie seemed to have such a decent reputation. Well, eventually, I thought it was actually a rather weird movie. The beginning, focusing on Yeager, was actually quite awesome and uplifiting thanks to a fine performance by Sam Shephard.
