What's the last movie you watched?

[buckytom]

Last Christmas .

Well, yeah. The queen of dragons falls in love with a perfectly romantic ghost. Duh.

Old story. Ever hear of the Ghost and Mrs. Muir?

Lol, one of my recent faves, Last Christmas.

 

[dragnlaw]

Hello bucky, coming out for lunch?

 

[buckytom]

Lol. Wait. I hope we're talking about the Emma Thompson flick.

My wife makes fun of me for liking chick flicks like
Last Christmas, and Bridesmaids.

My defense is Ars Gratia Artis.

 

[dragnlaw]

Yeah, I watched it because I like Emma Thompson. Was tired of some of the 'heavy' movies I'd been watching lately.

I think Emma Thompson co-wrote the story line. I think...

 

[buckytom]

Could be. We are simpatico in every sense.

I was in a hotel for work (short turnaround less than 8 hurs between shifts) and had time to kill while I was supposed to sleep. The sweet little love story filled the time.

It's a documentary of interviews with 10 boxers that faced Muhammad "Cassius Clay" Ali.

Hey Bucky...what do you get if you feed Muhammad Ali Taco Bell?







Gaseous Clay



Okay, walking away...

The newest documentary I watched was the 2022 Oscar nominated Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) one.

A look at the 1969 taped Harlem Cultural Festival that was on for multiple weeks and never got to see the light of day until the documentary came out.

The documentary is full of musical pieces and short interviews from artists and people that went to the event. Stevie Wonder Playing drums, Gladys Knight and the pips, Sly and the Family Stone, David Ruffin and more!!

Stevie is playing as we land on the moon at the same time...

To me this is a complete must see just for the musical performances alone. Some artists you may have never even seen before. It was that well produced.

Watched "Proof" starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Anthony Hopkins and Jake Guyllenhaal. What a powerful movie, especially Hopkins' performance. However, Paltrow did a stellar job with her character.

I was especially drawn to the film because my youngest brother played the role by Anthony Hopkins in one of our local playhouse events. My bro did a great job, too.

I'm a math junkie but nothing near what these characters portrayed.

The latest movie I saw was Ford v. Ferrari. The racing movie about Ford winning the Le Mans race.

Acting was solid and the movie was certainly very well edited.

We watched St. Vincent yesterday.

I'm not a big fan of Bill Murray but really enjoyed this movie.

Against the Ice
On Netflix, about the 1909 Danish exploration of Greenland. Based on true events, fascinating film.

Free guy. On the plane. There was nothing else to watch.

We saw that recently, it was quite good I think

Free guy. On the plane. There was nothing else to watch.

Lots of fun. We watched it on purpose too...

 

[Andy M.]

Just a thought, everyone.

If we list the streaming service when we mention a movie it helps others find it.

 

[Katie H]

Glenn and I watched "The Magic of Belle Isle." Wonderful film starring Morgan Freeman, one of our favorite actors. The movie is 10 years old, but is still a sweet poignant story.

 

[CharlieD]

St. Vincent. I really liked it.

 

[roadfix]

The Bombardment
On Netflix, true story about a British air raid mission over a Danish town during WWII in which a school with tens of dozens of children was mistakenly targeted.

 

[Andy M.]

Watched "The Descendants" last night on HULU. George Clooney starred with few big names (IMO) but it was an enjoyable movie.

 

[CharlieD]

Deep Water. Horrible.
