You’ve seen the clips of Ukrainian drones and RPGs blowing up Russian tanks, but do you know a good movie - a REALLY good one - about a tank crew?
This one is it: Kevin Reynolds “The Beast (of War)” (1988). Only the happy few have seen it but that can change - you can easily find it on DVD and Blu-ray!
The young director Reynolds was a real talent - an “auteur” - who lost his focus spectacularly when he was asked to direct bigger movies for his buddy Kevin Costner. (Remember that disastrous Costner film, “Waterworld”? Reynolds directed it at Costner’s request but they fell out like Johnny and Amber.)
Ignore that commercial fare and watch “The Beast”, a powerful, mature movie about the Russian army fighting the mujahideen in Afghanistan with tanks and helicopters.
(George Dzundza has created quite a character as brutal Russian tank commander; his acting is reason enough to watch the film.)

You’ve seen the Russian tanks blow up, but have you seen a good movie about tanks? My recommendation is “The Beast” (Kevin Reynolds, 1988).
This first photo is from Canadian Nationals and it is just about the best I’ve ever seen Kevin look!
While we’re here, can I applaud him for out of the box musical choices? Because yes. Also LOOK at all that detail, it is spectacular.

I’ve been 20 for a month now. That’s pretty cool. My first month of my 20’s was spent studying probably the lamest part of Medicine…The gastrointestinal system. That’s not so cool.
Cardio went well, it’s currently my favourite block. Our one lecturer is legendary and has even taught my friend’s mother. He is absolutely crazy for ECGs. According to him, one can diagnose almost every thoracic-related problem with an ECG.
I’ve been super into figure skating lately. I am absolutely go smacked by the sbeautu and elegance that figure skaters can exhibit on ice. Some of my favourites include Yulia Lipnitskaya, Yuzuru Hanyu, Kevin Reynolds, Maxim Trankov send Tatiana Volosozhar. If kind of miss the days when I was in China and my cousin taught me some basic figure skating moves. I wonder if I could still do them…
There’s a Swan Lake performance in the coming month performed by the St Petersburg ballet. I’ve heard of how amazing they are and desperately wish to go. I didn’t manage to find anyone to go with, so I think I’ll probably watch it alone.
The new Game of Thrones episodes are on my computer, but I’ve been staying away from it so I can catch it all up at once after exams are done. This is the first year that I’ve had an uninterrupted semester with no holiday, and it’s hectic.
That’s about it, I haven’t used tumblr in ages, so I wish to start posting regularly again. Maybe it start making gift again.
