What's the last movie you watched?

[caseydog]

I just watched The Post. Very well written, acted and filmed, and the actors were top notch. Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Bradley Whitford, Sarah Paulson, Bob Odenkirk -- directed by Steven Spielberg.

It is a movie about the headlines I read growing up -- yes, I had an interest in this kind of stuff in the seventh grade. It was one of the central stories of my teenage years. It is a movie about what you are willing to risk to do what you believe is the right thing to do.

But, beside that, it is a well done movie worth watching.

I just got done watching ‘Kodachrome’ on Netflix. One of the best performances by Ed Harris. Must see.

I forgot to add, the ending was very predictable but that's exactly how I would have ended the film.

Darkest Hour. Winston Churchill’s amazing story

Souschef was a volunteer on the historic railroad today, so I went to the movies and saw A Quiet Place.
It's gotten outrageous 5 star reviews, and although I'm NOT a horror film fan I thought I'd give it a go, just for giggles. I really hated it..no big surprise there, but if you're a fan of this kind of thing, you'll really like it. Different strokes...

Last night I watched The Commuter, staring Liam Neeson. It was an hour and 45 minutes long. The first hour and 30 minutes were very good. Good suspense. Then, it was like the makers of the movie had to come up with a quick Hollywood ending (with Liam Neeson as the hero)... and they did.

I was disappointed, mostly because the movie was basically good, until the ending, where it went "off the rails," in more ways than one.

Just watched The Commuter. After the derailment I chucked the movie.

“Mame” with Lucille Ball and Bea Arthur. I love the Jerry Herman’s stage show, but Lucy is just dreadful in this, and the direction and choreography were a amateurish at best.

Ya gotta love the songs, though!

Kay....it's been playing here and I was kind of tempted to go see it because of the reviews, even though it's NOT my kind of flick either. Glad I didn't now. Actually, there haven't been many movies I've been all that interested in for the past few months. Grrrr....

True Conviction is a the latest documentary I watch and is fully free until the end of the month.

True Conviction | Video | Independent Lens | PBS

This documentary is on three people from Dallas that were wrongly convicted who help other people in jail they feel have been wrongly convicted get out of jail.

The documentary looks at the attempt by them to get a couple people out of jail. Both of them have been in jail for decades.

I think this was a solid look at the effort that they do and accomplishments they attempt to make.

This documentary does have some awards:

TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL
Special Jury Mention for Best Documentary Feature

OAK CLIFF FILM FESTIVAL
Best Documentary Feature Grand Jury Prize

ANNAPOLIS FILM FESTIVAL
Audience Award - Best Documentary

Another documentary I recently saw was this one..

New Wave: Dare to Be Different

The documentary about the little radio station that could until it was shut down WLIR. The radio station out of Long Island.

They made a change to airing New Wave music(The Cars, Depesch Mode, Blondie, Tears for Fears, etc...) in 1982 which no one in NYC was doing. Pissed off a few record labels by playing music months in advance of the USA debut and some other things well.

The documentary included interviews from many of the music stars of that time period and the whole documentary was a complete labor of love.

I have to give this documentary a bug thumbs up and a must see if you like New Wave music from that time period.

This is not my type of music, but I am familiar with Blondie and The Cars. At that time, my kids were in or approaching their teen years. So lucky me, I got to hear it also. I would let them play it loudly (as kids are wont to do), but I hate it when big conglomerates run amok over the little guy who is just trying to make a living while sharing their passion with others.

Being a kid of the '80s and one of those New Wave and Punk Rock club kids during that era, this is a documentary that I must watch. Thank you for the heads up!

Saw black panther. Again and again Hollywood brings the socialists ideas into movies. That’s the real propaganda for you. They slowly brainwashing the masses. Exactly what what was done pre Russian revolution.
People beware.

 

[buckytom]

Lol, Chuck.

I just watched Black Panther as well. It was good. About the same as any other Marvel comics movie.

As far as politics go, it's nonsense. I'd be pissed off about the storyline (if I were black) about Wakanda remaining neutral throughout the slave trade, and even into current day Africa and all reasons for African diaspora.

If anyone is basing any of their real opinions about life on superhero movies, they might want to re-think it.

I watched Game Night, with Jason Batemen. I always seem to like his movies and TV Shows. It was very good... very funny. Yeah, not realistic, but it is a comedy, so I cut it some slack. If you have a somewhat dry sense of humor, as I do, you will like it.

I saw that last weekend, and liked it, too. It reminded me a lot of a movie called "Neighbors" with John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd that came out in the 80s. Kind of dark and absurdist.

I saw "Solo: A Star Wars Story" last night. I probably enjoyed it more than the critics because I didn't take it too seriously. It wasn't as dark as some of the more recent films in the series. It actually reminded me more of the original movie, which I think may have been director Ron Howard's intent.

Thank you for your critique of the film, I take more stock in what you have to say about it than I do the so-called professional critics.

1980's "Neighbors" is a minor classic. I burned it onto DVD.
