What Was The Last Movie You Saw? Welcome Cinephiles.

[*Anya*]

We saw Jason Bourne yesterday.

The original Bourne, Matt Damon is back.

I liked it. It is action-packed! The GF and I reverse roles when it comes to movies. She likes the romantic comedies and dramas and I much prefer the shoot-em-up action flicks.

It was my turn yesterday!

I am so with you on this. I have ALL the Bourne movies on dvd -- I am looking forward to seeing this one as well. I am so glad Matt is back in the role. :)

[Venus007]

I just finished watching "Hail. Cesar" by the Coen Brothers
I love old movies and thus I was very much enjoyed it
I saw it in the first place for Tilda Swinton who plays not 1 but 2 characters.

[Gemme]

I saw two movies yesterday. Both were fantastic.

IHBLbGvwO6I

I laughed so freakin' hard during this movie. There was a group of about 10 women and they laughed so hard too, the 11 of us were louder than the rest of the audience.

I highly recommend it. Highly.


F4gJsKZvqE4

This was a great action flick and, if you like the series, it's a really good addition to it and a fine welcome back for Mr. Damon.

[TL1]

2012



I've seen it before but I really like it. :)

[candy_coated_bitch]

I saw Ghostbusters. I really like it I thought it was fun and funny and recommend it.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I saw Suicide Squad. First of all, it's not nearly as bad as the critics' reviews say. If you just want a fun, action-filled comic book based flick, it fills that niche. Margot Robbie is really good as Harley Quinn, and she gets a lot of screen time. Also, I was impressed that she gets as much action time (maybe even a little more) as any of the boys. She is evil, trampy, and brutal in a very fun way. Will Smith was great as, well, himself, as usual. I wish we'd gotten more screen time with Jared Leto as the Joker - his costuming alone was really unusually and interestingly realized - and he and Harley Quinn visually made a great pair.

I was disappointed with the soundtrack. From all the hype on my local radio station, and videos on YouTube, I thought we were getting a great new soundtrack. Unfortunately, there was a lot of recycled '60s and '70s rock, like Ozzy Ozbourne and Queen. That was probably the most disappointing thing about the whole film for me.

Anyway, I'd recommend it, if you're into comic book films - especially if you're a fan of the DC universe.

Watching the old Ellen Barkin, Al Pacino movie Sea of Love from 1989.

Bad movie but a very, very hot Ellen Barkin.

[Stone-Butch]

Tarzan, my first 3D movie WOW. LOL. Awsome scenery and gorillas are my favorite animal so that added to it.

[dykeumentary]

Did you see that Delta Airlines' in-flight version of "Carol" edited out the lesbian sex AND the lesbian kisses? Should we expect that all straight kisses will also be edited out of all in-flight movies? Outrageous.

If you want to see my remake of "Carol" that has all that good lezbo lovin' -- watch this: h0cDcvMXH_w

Great! Now I don't have to watch the movie.

We watched The Lobster yesterday. I don't know why. I also don't know why we didn't stop watching the first time one of us said: "This is really stupid, why are we watching it?".

IMDb:

Single people, according to the laws of The City, are taken to The Hotel, where they are obliged to find a romantic partner in forty-five days or are transformed into beasts and sent off into The Woods.

Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
Writers: Yorgos Lanthimos, Efthymis Filippou (as Efthimis Filippou)
Stars: Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, Jessica Barden

Rotton Tomatoes gave it a score of 90% and viewers gave it 68%.

We kept watching thinking it would get better and that the critics thought it great. Us? Not so much.

[Daniela]

I saw Bourne yesterday, like several other people in this thread. Lots and lots of action, so make sure you don't have to go to the bathroom in the middle of it like I did. :bucktooth:

It only got a 57% on RottenTomatoes, but I thought it was more around 70%?
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/jason_bourne

And I saw The Propaganda Game (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4206218/):
An excellent documentary on North Korea (2015) by a Spanish filmmaker.

2015 cast David Oyelowo, Dianne Wiest, Rosie Perez

Reeling from the tragic loss of his wife, the husband travels to rural Maine to seek answers from his estranged mother-in-law, who is herself confronting guilt and grief over her daughter's death.

I had never heard of this movie before but came across it while checking out stuff On Demand. Great cast, great acting, but a bit slow! All in all I'd still recommend it:movieguy:

[Gemme]

I saw this earlier in the week. It was cute. It won't win any awards but it was cute and the kid that they found to play Jennifer's daughter looked just. like. her.

I saw the secret life of pets with my two nieces.

2015 cast includes; Jonathan Pryce Jerome Holder Pauline Collins

Again, had never heard of this movie before coming upon it On Demand! It was entertaining and I enjoyed it:popcorn:

So it's been a while, I saw this when it first came out, but I think this was the last thing I saw in the theater and did love it. I've always loved Sally, and there is some serious cute overload going on with her wardrobe in this one. :)

[Talon]

Don't know what to tell you, babes...the film is called 'Rush' with Jennifer Jason Leigh.

[Canela]

Bad Mom's...it was wonderful!

[BullDog]

I saw the new Ghostbusters a couple of days ago. Nothing spectacular, but good for a few laughs and fun cast. Also, my friend and I were the only ones in the theater and the seats were like recliners so we could lean back with our feet up. Good thing since we stuffed ourselves on seafood before going to the movie!

[candy_coated_bitch]

I saw The Secret Life of Pets today. It was a fun, cute movie.

[homoe]

A story that exposes the conspiracy of prominent German institutions and government branches to cover up the crimes of Nazis during World War II.

Enjoyed it well enough........:popcorn:

[Gemme]

I saw this this weekend and it was really good. Lots of action and fun bits.

CmRih_VtVAs

[legally_b10nde]

Yes, I have to agree with Gemme... it was pretty good! Not sure why Rotten Tomatoes gave poor reviews. Dark & Edgy for PG13 with plenty of pew pew pew scenes.

[Gemme]

I went to a double feature today. First, I saw this movie.

ReJOJR-DImU

It was raunchy and funny as expected but I didn't expect the religious innuendos. Or food porn. Or Stephen Hawking as gum. That was fucking brilliant.

Then I saw this movie. I was expecting a nice animated feature but I really got into it. The story is beautiful and the visuals are insanely fantastic. I absolutely loved this movie and highly recommend it.

Its a short film about “an old butch who loves women and loves to talk about it!" The lesbian Hugh Hefner! A lively portrait of one of the most uniquely endearing persons that you are likely to meet. Full of life, energy and bawdy good humor, it’s a real treat.”

Ben Hur 2016

Saw it Saturday evening.

[Stone-Butch]

I went and saw Ben Hur in 3D as well. Was fantastic.

[Talon]

I watched two of my favourite "feel-good" flicks this weekend...

Moonrise Kingdom and Flicka w/ Tim McGraw.

[femmeandstrong]

The secret life of pets... cute

[Gemme]

I saw Mechanic: Resurrection today.

G-P3f_wDXvs

I wasn't expecting an Academy award winning performance and I didn't get one. There were some hella awesome fight scenes though and that's why I went to it. I've learned new ways to kill someone, so it was educational.

I did see trailers for some other movies that I am really interested in, like Queen of Katwe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4l3-_yub5A) and Hacksaw Ridge (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2-1hz1juBI).

[gotoseagrl]

In the theater: Ben Hur ... Morgan Freeman <3
At home: Hope Floats (for the hundredth time) and Jackie & Ryan, which I loved for the music

Double feature this afternoon!

First, I saw this movie.

mjKEXxO2KNE

OMG. Soooo good. Soooo good. Hanks. Eastwood. Sooo good.

Did I mention how good it was? I could find nothing that could have been done better, imo.

And then I saw this movie.

Rwh9c_E3dJk

I absolutely abhorred the guy Jonah Hill portrayed so I guess he did a good job since the guy was a shithead.

This movie was good too, but not as good as Sully.

I did see a trailer that has me salivating for the movie to come out.

isQ5Ycie73U

Helen Mirren
Will Smith
Kate Winslet
Keira Knightly
Edward Norton
Michael Pena

I smell Academy awards.

This and two others are at the top of my list to see. So excited!

[Stone-Butch]

THE Magnificent 7

[aishah]

on a hindi movie kick again! i watched another of deepa mehta's gems, 'heaven on earth' (preity zinta was -brilliant- in it) yesterday, and tonight it's 'yahaan' (great premise, not so sure about the execution, but it's not over yet).

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTM4Mjc2MjY3Nl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMTYwNTUwMw@@._ V1_UY268_CR2,0,182,268_AL_.jpg

Heaven on Earth a.k.a. Videsh is a 2008 Canadian film directed and written by Deepa Mehta. Preity Zinta plays the leading role of Chand, a young Indian Punjabi woman who finds herself in an abusive arranged marriage with an Indo-Canadian man, played by theatre actor Vansh Bhardwaj.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9c/Yahaan.gif/220px-Yahaan.gif

Adaa (Minissha Lamba) is a Kashmiri woman torn between her army officer lover Aman (Jimmy Shergill) and her insurgent brother Shakeel (Yashpal Sharma). Trouble ensues when Aman's superiors come to know of his involvement with the sister of a terrorist and implicate him as an accomplice. Thus, Adaa begins a valiant attempt to save Aman from the perils of a court-martial and Shakeel is torn between his family's happiness and safety and his own jihadi cause.

[Gemme]

I just watched Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.

AHC7guX-FCk

It exceeded my expectations.

Which were very low.

It was far worse than I thought it would be and yet, I still found myself laughing off and on.

It will appeal to the 12 year old boy inside of everyone.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I just saw Suicide Squad again (!) - I wanted to catch it one more time in 3D before it leaves the theatres. It was great fun even the 2nd time around. I have no idea why the critics decided to slam it with bad reviews. I thought it was great obviously, and everyone I know who has seen it liked it too.

BTW, a friend who went to Dragon Con said there were LOTS of Harley Quinn's. That character is so hot in this movie (in a way that appeals to my inner teenaged boy).

[C0LLETTE]

Watched my first Paul Walker film...maybe his last one....nice cars...can't remember a single thing about the plot but it's something like : Pick one from column A, two from Column B and one from Column C.

[Kätzchen]

I'm not sure about the film lineup for Saturday night, but one of the films is definitely going to be an Indiana Jones film. Which one, I have no idea. The other film is not a kid friendly film, so it's been kept hush-hush. Not one of us knows what the after hours film is going to be. I'm guessing it's either going to be an long forgotten, over the top, dirty movie or something along those lines (lol, or not).

I guess that's part of the intrigue at this two day party. Either way, I'm pretty sure it will be lots of fun meeting family members I've never met before. : )

[Gemme]

I saw Keanu earlier and it was okay. It got better as it went along, which is good because in the beginning, I started unloading the dishwasher for something to do.

:blink:

dE0Sw7CvI0k

[easygoingfemme]

The Secret Life of Pets. There were a number of good laughs.

[JDeere]

Catacombs from 2007.

On demand and free movies make me happy.

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

The Fury from 1978 on Netflix I should say again but there is nothing like a good horror classic to pleasantly occupy down time.
If it came out today it would probably be considered Sci-fi maybe a thriller. If you have seen Firestarter the plot for The Fury is similar. Two teens with "special ablities" taken by a secret government agency and one of the fathers goes after them.
While the audio quality isn't up to today's standards the "actors" far exceed today's if only because they actually had to act in 1978 and didn't have to rely on special effects or gore to carry the plot.

[Gemme]

I saw these movies tonight.

Both were really good in their own way. The Magnificent 7 was, well, magnificent. Visually fantastic and action packed and though not always 'funny', there was definitely humor.

My doh moment came when I realized just who Vincent's character was. He looked so different!

Anyway, I fully enjoyed it.

Bridget was Bridget and I enjoyed the movie, though it had a bit less action than the first movie. Well, a different kind of action, really.

But both were very good.

[Rook]

...I've been on a space opera/sci-fi kick lately....

Jupiter Ascending: There seems to be a mixed crowd for this one, I was fascinated, visually stunning, if u have blu-ray. Genetics taken to a whole new, rather spooky level...the Wachowski's def. enjoy the thematic of human consumption(in every sense of the word and definition) I think I've seen this one 6 times..More fun to watch at night, lights out....as I said "visually stunning", at some points if u look around, the room gives out an impressive mess of lights...if u've seen it, in My opinion, the "Groom" dressed better than the reluctant "Bride" :seeingstars: Would be nice to see some sequels and/or prequel

Cloud Atlas Felt more like jigsaw Puzzle, blink, grab a drink or pick the wrong piece and you're horridly lost for awhile in the unraveling/developing plot...Several actors(Tom Hanks, Hugo Weaving, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant, Susan Sarandon, etc etc) take on several different characters each through the span of more than 5 centuries, each ones choices, actions, decisions and outcomes affect each other in some way in the very long haul, whether through cause and effect, or inheritance, your pick...Another Wachowski project

Others I've *recently* seen and enjoyed, or found intellectually entertaining
"The Danish Girl"
"The Theory of Everything"{both with Eddie Redmayne}
"Creed"{Looking forward to more, if any}
"Spotlight"{Infuriating at first..}
"Ex Machina" {Don't ever fuck with 'droids, ever...literally.}
" Bicentennial Man" {was missing mr. williams humor..}
:brainsucker::wine::mohawk:

I saw these movies today. One was okay and one made me bawl like a spoiled little baby. Guess which one!

I'm not always a fan of faith movies as some of them really cram it down your throat but this one wasn't too bad, plus it has Queen Latifah and Jennifer Garner.

[Sparkle]

It's a cold, damp, and blustery weekend, best spent in lounge-wear catching up on all the movies I've put in my Netflix/amazon/etc queues over the summer.

This morning we watched this little film 'A Royal Night Out'

A sweet imagining of what Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret might have done the night of VE Day when they went out amidst the people for the celebrations. It's a fun romp.

Hack has added "P-Two" to my ever growing list of nicknames. (He says he believes I've modeled my life on a young Princess Margaret)

Hi everyone,
Watched a this brilliant film the other night.
Its set in the early 80's when the first cases of Aids were starting to really take hold in the gay comunity.
The film was out in 2014, but i never saw any previews at cinemas over here in the uk for it.
The film has superb acting, julia and mark and all the cast are exceptional.
You have to see this film.
Its so moving, tearful & anger are the two main emotions you feel.
A must see movie.

[Gemme]

I saw 2012 last night. Who doesn't love a decent disaster end of the world movie?

I was a mess before the movie even started because they showed a trailer for Patriots Day, the movie about the Boston marathon bombing, with Mark Wahlberg. Then the same director went and made another fantastic and visually stunning movie. Also with Mark Wahlberg, who I happen to like.

mAdpJw-MM-M

This movie was a delight. An absolute delight. I love the magical stuff and if you do too, you'll enjoy this movie.

[Kätzchen]

Several of us in our book club who really enjoyed The Girl On The Train are going to go see the film version of the story. It's playing in local theaters, so we're going to catch an late afternoon matinee and then go out for dinner. Should be lots of fun because our group of readers really liked the thriller but none of us have any expectations for the film. I liked the building suspense of how Rachel took to investigating what she witnessed (because of how she doubted her memory). Totally recommend the book, for those looking for something new to read.

[Gemme]

I watched a background movie last night (not necessarily interesting enough to watch all the way through but cohesive enough to know what's going on whilst coming and going around the house aka white noise with purpose).

It will please the 12 year old inside but probably annoy or bore the adult on the outside.

I went on a girls night movie date with my best femme to see the new Bridget Jones movie. I was hesitant because these stories don't often hold up a decade or so later (AbFab ... SATC movie deux)...

But we had so much fun watching it and found it resonated in the most cringeworthy and laugh out loud (40somethingnow) ways.

Then I got home and realized that in my rush to get to the cinema I locked myself out of my apartment. (This is not something *i do* I'm methodical and hypervigilant, and of course it happens when my landlord/upstairs neighbor is in Vermont and Hack is up at his weekday work crashpad an hour away)

So I do balanced a plastic lawn chair on the loose rocks, climbed to the top, shimmied the window open, and promptly fell in head first. Ass over tea kettle as my Grama would have said. All the while my best femme held her iphone up for light and laughed til she nearly wee'd her pants.

All in all it was a very Bridget Jones evening.

[Gemme]

I saw these 3 movies!

DMEu-1CIB_I

I wasn't 100% sure if I'd like this one but I loved it. The acting and costumes were superb!

z4l3-_yub5A

Very, very good movie! I liked that they showed both the real person and the actors that portrayed them.

XQtjPUyS6ZY

This one was just for fun but there's a twist in there too that I wasn't expecting, since I didn't read the book. Still, good!

[jools66]

I liked both these films.
Girl i liked because i like Emily Blunt.
people were a tad upset that it was set in usa and not where the book depicts which is London.
I hadnt read the book, so i guess that helped in some ways.
I found it really good.

A Quiet Passion.
This film is about the life of Emily Dickinson, the poet, who is played by none other than Cynthia Nixon.
All the cast are really good, and Cynthia seems to capture Emily beautifully.
The Film does have its light hearted moments, but on the whole is one about Emily's own struggles, and therefore quite sad.
But if you like period films with a very thought provoking meaning behind it, then this is a very good film.

The Revenant; with Leonardo DiCaprio. Holy @*%. What a great movie! I honestly didn't expect it to have any substance; I thought it was going to be all about action and scenery, but no, it had some real chops, though I must give a warning: it is brutal and gory, and not historically accurate, so take it for what it is, a fictional account.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/0bkqjPugs2g4S3Jie_YFxMbvq2yAZi0Vt3LFWvbkCXhASOQDvN rpdiQjggUrC2NOWVBU=w300

[cinnamongrrl]

I just finally saw the Revanant too!

Omg it was so awesome...raw and often primal. The scenery was like another character.

I googled the historical accuracy of the movie
(Nerdy I know) and The man behind the story (Hugh Glass) was a real person and did have an incredible life. Worth a Google and I want to read a book about him now.

[EnderD_503]

Watched Food Inc. last night. Generally good movie, but liked Cowspiracy better (especially since it also looked at important topics like the unsustainability of free-range cattle farming in addition to industrial cattle). It makes me hope even more that genetically modified meat doesn't become legal in Canada, especially without labeling. The last hearing for this is in a couple days over here (I think for genetically modified salmon), and I really hope that whenever it goes to parliament it gets rejected. Totally disgusting idea that would forever change our environment and food system (the fear is also of genetically modified salmon populations contaminating natural populations).

[Gemme]

I saw a C or D class version of Center Stage.

Center Stage: On Pointe (http://www.redbox.com/movies/center-stage-on-pointe)

It was 'eh' and scored a 2 out of 5, so that gives you an idea of how it went.

Feel like I can't look at that actors face now without seeing Walter White and what a douchebag he was. Its like a kneejerk reaction to want to deck the guy just for that character alone. God I hated that show :lol2:

[Kätzchen]

So, hey, I saw G.O.T.T. twice: once with book club friends, once with my best friend (who saw it with her husband).

I don't know what to say really except I think the film brings richer dimension to the book. Both the book and film speak clearly about socially taboo relationship issues, such as: cheating, drinking to kill emotional pain, very poor boundaries, perceptions about status and wealth and a number of other issues with respect for relationship violence ---- all things I do not like, but I do like how the book and the film give the audience a way to process how one feels about such tragedy.

So, that said, I think I can say that the film and the book did a job well done, portraying this kind of social issue, in a fictional sense, although survivors of abuse, such as myself and others, find this topic triggering.

[*Anya*]

I really wanted to like this movie but I have fallen asleep twice already.

The costumes are gorgeous. My mom used to dress like the characters and there are pictures of her with her hair in some of the same styles.

Happily ever after is rare in lesbian movies. This doesn't end happily ever after but there is a kernel of hope that it just might.

[storyspinner70]

The last movie I saw was The Purge...scary how bloodthirsty people are portrayed, and unfortunately, how believable it is.

[*Anya*]

Fascinating documentary about an 8-term New York Congressman who did a lot of good while in office, eg, fighting for 1st responders after 9-11, to get medical care, with a Congress that didn't want to authorize it -and then he blew it; big time. Twice!

I just kept asking myself: Why? Why? I think his own psychological issues just wouldn't allow him to stop. No matter the losses,

We saw The Handmaiden last night. It's a Korean movie, (English subtitles), based on Sarah Waters' novel 'Fingersmith'. It was gorgeous and well made. I thought the sex scenes were kind of wonderful, too.

It was so incredibly hard to watch. This is my history. My home. My people. It's a bizarre feeling to feel pride and shame at the same time. It's a fantastic movie. Be prepared for some heavy stuff though. This is American history, after all, and it's not pretty.

[JDeere]

The Conjuring 2.

I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. Still spooky but not like the first one.

[Talon]

I watched a very scary movie on Netflix called 'Hush'.
Not advisable to watch it by yourself.... Creepy:vigil:


The Conjuring is scary because it's based on a true story. It happened in RI.
That couple also consulted on the Amityville haunting.👻

[Gemme]

I watched two movies today.

This one was very strange. What else can you say about a movie that has a man riding another man like a jet ski, using the first man's flatulence as a propellant?

:blink:

This movie was good. The acting won't garner any Oscars but the dancing was solid and the final routine was fantastic.

[Gemme]

I watched this movie today.

It would have been spectacular in the theatre but it was still quite the movie. I love Margot Robbie and that she likes to portray sassy and spunky characters. Jane should be strong willed anyway.

Loved it.

[*Anya*]

I just watched The Last Waltz for probably the 10th time in my life.

It is on Amazon Prime.

I love that at the very beginning of the movie, in all caps, it says:

THIS MOVIE SHOULD BE PLAYED LOUD!

It is my all-time favorite concert movie.

Free State of Jones

Based on a true story of "Newton Knight, a poor white farmer who led an extraordinary rebellion during the Civil War. With a company of like-minded white men in southeast Mississippi, he did what many Southerners now regard as unthinkable. He waged guerrilla war against the Confederacy and declared loyalty to the Union."

It's as heart breaking as it is inspirational...and fit my mood perfectly

[gotoseagrl]

Not sure why this was so scarce once it was released. Of course it made me think of our own struggle with marriage rights as well. I sniffled during a few scenes.

Good action flick. Reminded me of the Incredible Hulk TV show a little bit, though.

DBfsgcswlYQ

Very good. I enjoyed it immensely. I liked the couple of twists it had. Very nice.

This is based on a real man's life and his faith choice. It's strong and powerful and heartbreaking and spirit building, all at once.

I rented the movie about Ernest Hemingway, Papa. I rented it from Red box. I love it thus far.

Finally saw Fantastic beasts & where to find them.... Definitely fantastic!

[gotoseagrl]

Moana. I am usually missing the old school style animation, but this one was beautiful with a good story and a theme that I loved. I think she is one of my favorite Disney princesses now.

Alive Inside (2014) Documentary

Dan Cohen, founder of the nonprofit organization Music & Memory, fights against a broken healthcare system to demonstrate music's ability to combat memory loss and restore a deep sense of self to those suffering from it.

If you have an aging parent or partner with memory lost this may be of special interests to you. I found it fascinating what they could accomplish with music therapy vs pharmaceuticals. This was a very moving documentary and I can't recommend it enough! :movieguy:

[easygoingfemme]

We went to see Moana last night (In 3d). It was Soooo good. Disney is starting to do some things right in regards to representing girls. The film was beautiful and the plot was fierce and we also loved the soundtrack. My daughter went on a tirade about how this better be the new "Frozen" with an actual real role model for girls to aspire for.

[cinnamongrrl]

I watched The Immigrant the other night on Netflix..

Joaquim Phoenix was in it along with a very pretty girl who apparently won an Oscar for that role...

Hands of Stone (2016) Stars: Edgar Ramírez, Usher Raymond, Robert De Niro

The story of boxer Roberto Duran and his equally legendary trainer Ray Arcel.I really enjoyed it:movieguy:

[jools66]

Wow, what a absolutely gripping film.
Love it from start to end.
Tom Hanks and the cast are superb.
This is a must see movie.
I would watch it again for sure.

[jools66]

Hi everyone,
This is a French subtitled film.
But don't let that put you off.
The story is set in the seventies, and focuses on two women that come from very different areas of France.
I won't give any spoilers away.
This is a very good film indeed, and it's worth taking time out one evening to watch it.
You can find the trailer on YouTube.
If you watch it, I hope you like it.

[Fancy]

Eagle Huntress - well done documentary/movie. We were cheering along; yes, actually making noise in the theater. It left us with several logistical/timing questions, but overall the entire family loved it.

[Gemme]

Technically, it was Escape Plan with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's a gritty, rough movie but 50 cent made a nice appearance as a tech savvy reformed thug.

[Gemme]

I saw this tonight.

isQ5Ycie73U

If it's not nominated for a few academy awards, I will be totally shocked. Phenomenal story, touching performances and a few twists and turns make it a great film.

As a side note, I was leaving and someone was pulling into a tight spot in front of my car (at the end of the row and they were coming in at weird angle because they drove past it, backed up and were turning right into it) and they hit the curb.

Instead of pulling back out and lining themselves up right, they kept trying to go forward, which was at an angle into the curb. About 8 inches high. Seriously? Irrational behavior like this is why car insurance is soooo expensive up here. I expected a young person to get out of the car after all of that but a full grown woman-maybe in her 40s-got out. With her kids. One of which was in sports shorts. Welcome to the NE on a snow day!

There's a twist that you aren't let in on through the trailers and though I knew it would be serious, it was a tad bit heavier than I thought. Well done though.

The Magnificent 7 with Denzel.....loved it.

[~ocean]

"White Christmas " this morning on AMC

[*Anya*]

I was looking at Rotten Tomotatoes for a flick to watch tonight and found one with a 95% critic score and an 88% viewer score.

It is a Korean zombie movie.

You might think it hokie or cartoonish but you would be wrong.

I have been into it for 40 minutes so far, and it is non-stop action but with believable characters that I got invested in pretty much right away.

A review from IMDb:

"The best zombie film I have ever seen (outside of the comedy Shaun of the Dead). Such a great film. It starts exactly like a train ride gathering momentum and gaining speed. The only difference with this train ride is I didn't want it to stop. It has a brilliant script, fantastic effects plus a very good choice of cast and acting. It also has a 'credible' plot (as credible as you can get with the zombie genre). Many of the scenes will stay with me for a long time. I thoroughly recommend this very refreshing and fast paced film. Get a ticket and enjoy the ride!'

My daughter and I went to see Hidden Figures on Friday night. It was SOOOO good. We knew it would be but it was so much better than we thought to dream of. I'm really glad we saw it together.

Thank You, Mr. President: Helen Thomas at the White House (2008) Directed by award-winning filmmaker Rory Kennedy.

I watched it on HBO but I believe it's also posted on youtube as well:popcorn:


It's an inside look at the White House Press Corps and I found it very interesting.

[Gemme]

I saw A Dog's Purpose on Friday. I was a bit torn about it given the video that's surfaced showing a trainer forcing one of the dogs into rapidly churning water and then s/he was soon after sucked under. It was hard to watch.

I was torn, of course, because that's not how animals are supposed to be treated anywhere--not just on a movie lot--and also because the person who leaked this obviously has no interest in the care of the animal at all.

Movies are typically made 1-2 years before they open in theatres and someone sat on this footage all that time with the only intention of ruining opening sales for the movie. There was no humanitarian or altruistic leaning in this; it is purely financial and/or vengeful.

Part of me wants to work against their goal for the principle of it but part of me did want to hold off because there are agencies in place to make sure that stuff like that doesn't happen. That dog was failed, on multiple levels and by multiple people.

BUT

I went to see it and bawled a good 50% through the movie. It's a good movie. I still want to find out what happened after the water situation and if it was addressed or not, but I'm not sorry that I went to see it.

Walked out of a movie last week. It's been a log time since I last did that. The movie has to be pretty rotten for me to throw up my hands and bail. But "Fist Fight" was beyond ridiculous, even for it being discount night at the theater....they shoulda paid me.

Stuck it out for another discount night movie that surprisingly wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...not that it would be up there with Academy Award status shows, but I see why "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" has a cult following.

While You Were Sleeping. And oldie but goodie.

I am 3/4 of the way through it and it is beautifully written, filmed and acted.

I think that it is sad that there was a fuck-up at the Acedemy Awards and that because of that, it took some of the joy that the filmmaker and actors could have experienced, had the best picture been awarded to them from the beginning.

I say possible spoiler because I don't know yet how it will end but there are parts up to this point that are heartbreaking to me.

The remake of The Magnificent Seven. Im not much for westerns, but it was wicked good.

Serendipitously, my Redbox was busy when I went to return movies, so I took them elsewhere.

I saw the Lego Batman movie... totally loved it, it's cute and funny even for a grown ups.

Debating if I should watch the Beauty and the Beast (2017), because I loved the cartoon version so much that I don't want the live action movie to be disappointment... any feedbacks much appreciated!!

I'll be seeing Beauty and the Beast this coming week as well as Kong. Maybe others but that's on my to do list but I have to wait. I've been told I can't see Beauty alone.

Lego Batman - hilarious! I would watch this one again. The person I was with liked it even more than the original Lego movie.

And, I saw a preview for a new Despicable Me/Minions movie. I can't wait!

It came on and I was going to change the channel but I started enjoying it so much!

I remember seeing it in the movies with my long-term ex. It came out in 1987!

Diane Keaton, Sam Shepard and James Spader, to name a few. I wanted to post the trailer but on YouTube, I could only find the whole movie.

Diane Keaton is so awesome. No one plays loveable ditz better than her.

Storyline partially from IMBd and partially from me:


J.C. Wiatt is a successful New York business woman. She gets news of an inheritance from a relative from another country and right off the bat, she suspects it's money. Well it's not money, it's a baby girl. At first she doesn't accept the (super darling baby) until the lady that gives the baby to her has to catch her flight. J.C. Her boyfriend doesn't like the idea of a baby living with them and he leaves her.

J.C. has enough of her New York life, having had a male co-worker get a big account that she has worked hard to land. She decides to buy an old two story cottage in Vermont to get out of the New York life. When she arrives, the house needs more help than originally thought. She gets bored one snowy day and decides to make apple sauce. Her baby loves it and she decides to sell it at the town country store.

You know the rest, right?

You know how the majority of lesbian movies have totally unrealistic sex and how both leads are usually femme?

This is not that movie.

The passion between the leads is believable, the sex is hot and the one lead is femme and the other is butch (and a roofer by trade).

I am 3/4th of the way through and I don't think one dies as in most lesbian movies. They may not last but that happens in lesbian real life, too.

I am so happy that I found it by accident-on VuDu of all places.

Btw, in case you couldn't tell: I am loving it! It just feels "real" even though it is a movie. There is nothing cheap or tacky or pretend about it.

I did roll my eyes at YouTube having put in parentheses next to the title:
(Lesbian Movie).

I don't think I have ever seen them do that about a (Straight Movie) even one with a lot of sex in it.

Partial review below:

"...But the new Canadian drama Below Her Mouth, which opens stateside on Friday, is a direct challenge to these ideas: It’s got an androgynous heartthrob (Erika Linder), an all-women crew (including director April Mullen and out writer Stephanie Fabrizi), and several scenes showing how women actually make each other—and themselves—come.

That this is still revolutionary in 2017 says a lot about how much more progress is needed in the patriarchal film industry, and in the U.S. in general. It’s not a coincidence that Below Her Mouth was made in Canada, where censorship is less of a concern and the government freely supports the arts.

To make her actors feel safe and supported, Mullen not only insisted on a closed set, with just her and the female DP in the room but took other steps to ensure both comfort and authenticity: “We hid microphones around the room so there would be no boom operator,” she told me. “It was a really, really intimate space that we kind of created for them.”

That comfort allowed the intimate scenes between Linder and co-star Natalie Krill to be more organic.

“I would never have interrupted them just to be sure we got the right angle or the right light,” says Mullen. “You hope to catch it and if you don’t, you have to tweak things. But I would never direct or interrupt them in these scenes. I wanted it to play out really authentically between the two of them.”
Much of Below Her Mouth is driven by the sexual chemistry between Linder and Krill, who meet when Linder’s Dallas is working as a roofer on the house next door to Krill’s Jasmine. They later reconnect at a lesbian bar (Jasmine is engaged to a man but goes with her bisexual friend), and begin an affair. Mullen argues their blooming relationship is told just as much through their bodies as it is through dialogue. “You give everything you can to another person through your body—every movement and spirit and soul in that scene. So it’s like each sex scene really does have its own vibe.”

Below Her Mouth is one of few lesbian films that acknowledges it’s for a specific audience: In interviews, the stars of Carol and Freeheld continually insisted how “universal” their projects were, how they really weren’t “lesbian movies.” But can’t a work exist as both? Perhaps trying so hard not to be a “lesbian movie” is why those films failed to really capture what gay women are like—in bed and in the world.

The creatives behind Below Her Mouth don’t feel the need to negate it as a love story between two women to reach a larger audience. Maybe that comes from not being beholden to the American studio system.

There’s something to be said for allowing queer women to be in control of their own stories—though, even then, some viewers will inevitably disagree with those portrayals. (See: The Kids Are All Right.) But what Below Her Mouth accomplishes, compared to big studio flicks and even most lesbian-sex-heavy indies, is the true eroticism that emerges when two women are alone together, without feeling the watchful eye of a man—or several men.

Sure, they might end up being in the audience. But they needn’t be in the room when shooting the scene.

Many lesbian films by women are dismissed as sappy, heavy on melodrama, sisterhood, and cringeworthy folk songs. The worst of them resemble paperback romances or have a predictable plot with a tragic acting to match. Blame it on a lack of creativity—or budget—but there’s often less focus on the central plot and characters than the sex act themselves.

We gay gals are ultimately looking for a love story, a modern fairy tale that isn’t tragic like Monster or melodramatic like Claire of the Moon.. A movie is only be improved when it’s created by those who have the lived experience. (Or at least by those smart enough to reach out to experts, like the Wachowskis did with Susie Bright on Bound). What ultimately serves lesbian viewers best is a heightened version of reality: Two women with chemistry that is conveyed through organic dialogue, plot and body language, engaging in sex acts that weren’t created by an outsider’s imagination.

Yes, cinema is fantasy, but shouldn’t it be ours?"

We rented "Why Him?" last night and I laughed so, so hard I doubled over wheezing a few times. LOVE IT! Also rented Passengers the other night and enjoyed it so much I bought it the next day at Target (20% off all DVDs at Target may have also been an influence...)

Going to see "The Circle" in a few hours.

We see a lot of movies, what can I say?

[cinnamongrrl]

I finally saw Bridget Jones' Baby!

DONT BREATHE

Has anyone seen Get Out?

I saw the previews yesterday and even the preview scared the hell out of me.

I know homoe doesn't like Rotten Tomatoes ( I read one of homoe's posts recently;) )but I usually agree with their reviews. The critics gave it 99% and viewers 88%.

That is one of the highest ratings that the critics on Tomatoes usually give and viewers are close behind.

I am interested in anyone that saw it and their thoughts. Is it really as scary as it looks? If there is a trick or surprise ending, pls give a spoiler alert.

Thanks a lot.

I haven't seen or heard of it, but I will ask my bff if she's seen any sort of trailer for it at the movies.

I'm no movie expert or anything, but when I look up a movie via a Google search and I read the R.T. analysis, I sometimes think that how they determine the success of the film based on methods of critical review (which I think encompasses ranking systems of: budget, box office earnings, +\- audience opinion, and evaluative analysis by industry experts - such as Siskel and Ebert) gives someone a type of way to form their own opinion --- or in case someone has viewed the film and either agrees with submitted assessments or rejects submitted assessment of said film, is mostly, I think, pretty much near the agreed upon general evaluation of the film.

BUT, *lol*, I do tend to think that there is no real mistake free way to know if you've got a box office success or in some cases, films that were thought to not be well received actually turned out to be huge Sleeper hits.

Thanks for posting about Get Out, Anya.
I'm going to add it to my Memorial weekend "gotta see" movies list.

[girl_dee]

Beauty and the Beast and i want to see it again!

[nina03]

Guardians of the Galaxy 2!! I loved it! Super silly and fun.

******trigger warning*****


After surviving eight near-death accidents throughout his unlucky life, Louis Drax plunges off a steep cliff on his ninth birthday and falls into a coma. While police investigate the cause of Louis's near-fatal fall and the whereabouts of his violent father, Peter, acclaimed neurologist Dr. Allan Pascal uses unorthodox techniques to try to tap into the boy's unconscious mind and reveal the truth about the events that led to his condition.



If you can tolerate the topic, this movie was very well done.

Yes, I want to see this too and it just came on Demand to rent! If I rent it, I'll let you know:popcorn:

[*Anya*]

I caught it on VuDu.

I am really glad I saw it. It was highly original and very clever. It was not scary in the way that I had feared, meaning not a slasher-type movie (well some but not gratuitous).

I will say no more other than it is worth seeing. Also, I like to support creative films that are written and directed by minorities.

My hope is always that if it is successful; it opens the door to more filmmakers that would otherwise not have a chance to create their own vision.

It was smart scary. ;)

The girls I spent my weekend with decided they could not live through the week unless we saw BayWatch.
In their defense 16 years on the earth does not equate taste.

I was pleasantly surprised the story of course was thin, but this is intentionally tongue in cheek with out being overly so.

Their Mom and I laughed all the way through. It is a great piece of fluff.Very much like cotton candy.

[Chained Daisy]

I watched Beauty and The Beast. I so wanted to see this when it came out but didnt make it, caught it on line the other day and was a tad disappointed. A little too much of a musical for my tastes and a bit cringey in parts though it was balanced bu some beautiful scenes too. I have to say I thought Beast was better looking than the man he became at the end.....but then I thought King Kong had a certain something too....maybe a Daddy energy !

Sunday night I watched a gem of a movie called Wild Oats with Shirley MacLaine and Jessica Lange. It's currently running free on Starz channel. :popcorn:

Shirley MaLaine is really very good. I saw her last movie, The Last Word, when it came out and really enjoyed it.

[*Anya*]

I went today with my daughter, her BF and my 12-year-old granddaughter.

We all loved it!

The storyline, the acting and special effects were all top notch. I really appreciated that it was not cartoonish and that it had heart.

We saw it in 3-D and were glad that we did.

Definitely worth seeing!

We had taken my nephew to see Boss Baby, talk about adult humor that goes right over the kids head. It was totally a funny movie, both children and adults liked it.

My last movie was Wonder Woman and it was so so good and I'm loving watching the ripple effect of it in aspiring amazons everywhere.

Also recently was Guardians of the Galaxy 2--- Go Groot!

And saw Hidden Figures for the 5th time.

I saw this earlier in the week. It's been ages since I went to the theatre and I was the only one in the theatre. I love the a.m. shows. It feels like it's all just for me and no one sits near me. Score!

John Wick 1 or John Wick 2 or both?

I loved both of them but think #2 edged out #1!

PS: Are you new to the Planet? Welcome!

Glad to have you here! :bunchflowers:

[homoe]

Watched it again and caught some things I missed the first time around:movieguy:

[Venus007]

John Wick 2. It was ok, too much fighting. I would have been happy if they trimmed out about 30 minuts of it, it gets tedious when it just drags on forever.

[Scuba]

Transformers. Meh.

[akiza]

Shelter the silence of the hollow ^^ it's a psycho movie with mental illness,spirits and suspense it's funny

[homoe]

Fever Pitch (2005) Jimmy Fallon Drew Barrymore

Lindsay is stuck in the middle of her relationship with Ben and his passion for the Boston Red Sox.

It had a few yucks but not really worth sitting through it all IMHO

Fallon was smart to venture into more of a comedy field instead of continueing to pursue acting IMHO

[homoe]

IJIGJtb_N7EA mistaken delivery in Mumbai's famously efficient lunchbox delivery system connects a young housewife to an older man in the dusk of his life as they build a fantasy world together through notes in the lunchbox.

[Breathless]

The last movie I watched was a documentary called 'The Woman with 7 Personalities'
A woman connects with her childhood friend who had seven distinct personalities, while also consulting with psychological experts about the rare condition.
I enjoy the documentary as I felt it was respectfully presented from a personal upclose view that wasnt overly clinicly garbled. (if that makes sense)

[girl_dee]

Today i watched The Zookeepers Wife.. OMG what a tearjerker!

i also watched Wonder Woman this weekend.... not that impressed

i also watched the 50 Shades sequel... i thought it was good!

It has such a good message. I knew better, but I hoped for a different ending. This one was really good and who wouldn't want Jennifer Beals for their mom?

I picked up Wilson for tonight/tomorrow morning. I like quirky movies, so I'm hopeful for this one.
