it was just okay. i knew it was a remake so i decided to watch the 1971 version with Clint Eastwood.

OMG it was so much better than the remake. In the remake they cut out so much, it lost guts!

A Man Called Ove.......subtitled




While it was nowhere near as detailed as the book, it was still good and we enjoyed it very much. :popcorn:

[homoe]

Finally got around to watching this last night and while it was enjoyable, Oscar worthy I'm not so sure about!

[jools66]

Critics have not been kind to Red Sparrow, but I liked it a lot. It's not trying to be a Bond movie. And that is refreshing in some ways.
Jen plays the role very well, though I am not convinced about her dancing scene.
The film actually went rather fast time wise, which is always a good sign.
Give it a try, even if it's just when it comes out on dvd etc.

Ferdinand - loved this movie, more so than Coco, but that film was entirely different.
Ferdinand does have deep seeded meaning to it about animal welfare. And the conflict between that and tradition.
I have always thought bull fighting was a barbaric event, as I have fox hunting etc.
This film is funny, and it's cute, but it is also constructive in it theme.
Kids and adults will like it.

[*Anya*]

I think that Garry Oldman deserved the Oscar for his performance as Winston Churchill.

Very good movie.

Absolutely beautiful movie. It makes me want to pack up and move to northern Italy.

I don't know how to describe it other than it made me feel to a degree during a movie that I can't remember experiencing before.

[Signmypapyrus]

Watched The Invitation. It was ok, although as a film about cults I think The Master is a better crafted film. Definitely not a horror film. Psychological thriller sure. Interesting take on trauma.
Wouldn’t watch again.

Also saw The Force Awakens for the second time. I actually didn’t like it (I don’t like hand holding and the overwrought explanation of the Force was unnecessary and boring) except for the really wonderfully random references to Spaceballs! I thought I imagined those.
I think I’m gonna go as Dark Helmet for Halloween

A Wrinkle in time

Loved the message

Loved Oprah

It wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t great. My movie date was pretty awesome though.

[jools66]

hi film buffs,
So went to see this film yesterday in imax.
I liked it.
For Stephen I think it was a nod to nostalgia and quite a lot of self indulgence.
The film plot is pretty much as he title suggests, based around video gaming.
But there are more things in the film he wants you to think about too.
E.g like spending more time in reality and how technology is ruling us and not the other way round.
The film did convey these thoughts well, but I feel it could have been cut by a few minutes.
It was very spectacular in imax, and the 3D was done very well too.
Check out a trailer, see what you think and if you are a old school video gamer I would say go and see it.

[jools66]

This films a real gem, and I can't praise it enough. If you like foreign films then your in for a real treat. It's a French subtitled film.
The context is quite heavy, and you will have to be in the mood for this film as it's in no way comedic. Watch the trailer and see what you think.
But this film Is one that you foreign film buffs will want to see for sure.
Mario Cotillard plays this with so much conviction, it's pure pleasure to see an actress do this level of work.
Please, please make the effort to Watch it.
You won't regret it.

[Esme nha Maire]

Wonder Woman - I not only loved the early parts on the hidden isle of Amazons (who here wouldn't?!) but also the comments made on the world we live in as seen by an innocent (Wonder Woman) when she entered our world. Yes!

I also loved the bit about how "it was determined that for procreation, men are essential, but for pleasure, unecessary" - had me in giggles, did that!

Light entertainment that makes one think - and great to look at too? Gets my vote!

very nice, I'm glad you enjoyed the article! You asked when the film was released, and I read that it was released in the US the last week of March. Just about a week ago or so. Since it's an independent film, I imagine it will be shown in independently owned theaters (?)..... :rrose:

Avengers: Infinity War.

Loved it. My son warned me to dehydrate myself before we went so I didn't need to use the bathroom during the movie. (It is 2.5 hours long + previews) Good advice. There is so much going on you can't miss any of it. Looking forward to the next one!

If you decide to go, make sure you wait until the end of the credits. The extra scene is worth it!

I make my own sweaters! I recycle plastic bottles! I enjoy books by Terry Pratchett! I am a Buddhist!”

Competition, monetary exchange - which eats up everything (lol), and oh yeah, he throws in the Muppets!

I tried to watch Jeepers Creepers 3 {even though I`m scared of horror films} on my laptop the other evening, my screen did this weird thing, flashing on and off, its never done it before or since and I was alone, it really scared me !

Went to see this film.
If you like the other films in the series then it's probably going to be your cup of tea.

I saw A Wrinkle in Time yesterday. It was visually spectacular and I love the actors. The plot was okay. I was a voracious reader when I was young but I never read the book so I can't compare the two. I did come to realize that The It is Trump so there's that.

I can't remember if I posted this because I watched it a couple of weeks ago.

I pretty much watch everything Jason Bateman is in (Arrested Development, Ozark, etc.) Ozark is more drama with some dark comedy but he can do drama, too.

He has such a deadpan way of saying the funniest lines that just crack me up.

Anyway, this movie is funny.

[jools66]

Hi everyone.
Saw these films on Saturday.
Mission Impossible in 3D Imax.
I really did enjoy this film, not usually one for liking most of this franchise,but I did like it enough to watch it a second time at some point in the future.
If you are wanting action then this is the movie for you. Loads of stunts that were ott as you would expect.
And if you like just pure entertainment then this is a film to watch.

Mamma Mia
not as good as the first one, but still plenty to enjoy about it.
Obviously if you are a ABBA fan then you'll like the music.
The men in the film however I thought were very poor in the vocals, whereas the girls were amazing. Especially Lily. Is there nothing that that young lady can't do.
by the way watch Baby Driver, it's an amazing movie. And yes I know it's got Kevin Spacey, but as always his acting is superb.

[Breathless]

Last movie watched was "How it Ends" Looked like it might be good, there is a bit of action, not impressed however.. Something to watch when bored and you only need to be slightly entertained.. lol

Saw this today and it was good. It was smart, poignant, and funny. It was violent in a just a couple parts, but one of the things I love about Spike’s movies is that he seldom, if ever, combines violence and sex. It’s easy to laugh at the Klan because, in the movies, they’re often buffoons ... and that’s my only problem with the film; as usual, the cluckers are portrayed as fools and I don’t think that’s the case in real life. Other than that, it’s a winner and I look forward to seeing it again on DVD.

And, Spike closed the movie with a rendition of Mary Don’t You Weep by Prince. It was sweet.

[jools66]

Just watched this the other night on Netflix.
Jasmine is a successful fashion editor living with her fiance. On a night out in the city with her best friend, she meets Dallas, a roofer recently out of a relationship. Surprised by the confidence with which Dallas pursues her, Jasmine turns Dallas down but can't get her out of her head. When Jasmine finally succumbs, the two women embark on a steamy affair that forces them both to re-evaluate their lives.

[jools66]

Alpha
Have to say I was disappointed with this film.
It is supposed to be a story about a young man and a Wolf, and the start of the domestication of the Wolf to the dog.
The story of the two took some time to get to, and although I realise that you need some kind of back story to how they met it was drawn out.
I went to see it on 3D but it didn't really seem that 3D to me either.
Get it out on dvd but I wouldn't bother going to the cinema if you have to pay.

BlacKkKlansman
I really like this film, even though there are some bits that could have been cut, (long disco dancing scene for one)
It have some bits of humour in it in places so you can laugh and have a seconds break from the very serious issues in the film.
The subject of the film is very raw still given the current climate in the USA especially.
Worth going to the cinema for but if not watch it when it's out on other formats

Same here: I went to see A Star Is Born, starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. What an outstanding music soundtrack, story line and fabulous performances by an all-star cast.

Saw _Bohemian Rhapsody_ for the 2nd time this weekend. It was AWESOME!!! It gets some things out of chronological order - I heard an interview and they said they did that so they could squeeze in everything they wanted to in a 2 hour and 15 minute movie.

I rented it online, last night. I love the sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean (open aerial shots of Big Sur), the cars, the fashion trends of the time, and the stars in the movie...and the central theme of the movie about the sandpiper (symbolism): The character Laura Reynolds, as she nurses a sandpiper with a broken wing. The bird lives in her home until it is healed and then flies free, though it comes back occasionally. The sandpiper is used as a central symbol in the movie, illustrating the themes of growth and freedom. Something about films from the 1960s that soothes me, especially this one. I loved watching it.

Puzzle 2018 Kelly Macdonald, Irrfan Khan

Dunkirk
on HBO
Fabulous movie set in WWII while Dunkirk was a disputed territory between UK, France, Belgium (King capitulated to Nazi rule early and without knowledge of Belgian gov't).
Majority of film took place on the sea. Heroic civilians saved many naval sailors and infantry troops forced to the sea by fighting.
Was a true story.

Have some Kleenex on the ready.

Saw _Bohemian Rhapsody_ for the 2nd time this weekend. It was AWESOME!!! It gets some things out of chronological order - I heard an interview and they said they did that so they could squeeze in everything they wanted to in a 2 hour and 15 minute movie. But if you can get over that, it's a really good movie. Rami Malek gives a great performance as Freddie. It's definitely worth seeing on a big screen.

We are hoping to see this for the second time this weekend. We went to go see it a couple of days ago. It had moved from regular theater to our small town village $5/ticket theater and it was sold out when we got there. We're going to go early tomorrow evening hoping to get in before they sell out. Soooo good.

Life Itself..on Amazon. Interesting how life plays out.

You know, this film has also added to my understanding of how Trump won the election. When I first saw the title, I thought vice was meant to be some moral failing or bad habit and the film would be about cops and robbers - some crime film, and not that it would be a biopic about the Vice-President, Dick Cheney. But after watching the film, I can easily see that, in this instance, it meant both (chuckles).

I think, Christian Bale, who won the Golden Globe for best actor really deserved it. I liked this film, especially how it showed the growth of the right throughout America and who made that possible, how it also mentioned how public opinion evolved into a way of seeing the world (for many Americans) through the emergence of the Republican-based news network Fox - and how it was created by peeps like Cheney (almost typed "creeps" like Cheney ...........). The last after-credit scene with people expressing how they liked/disliked the film was priceless, with a hard-core right-winger taking swipes at the "liberal" under- and over-tone of the whole film, resulting in a free-for-all melee. Absolutely priceless - fact vs. opinion. Really worth seeing.

A comedy about loss, grief and the redemptive power of love, Dean is an NY illustrator who falls hard for an LA woman while trying to prevent his father from selling the family home in the wake of his mother's death.

I watched The Matrix a few days ago. Lots of messages in that movie...

I have yet to watch The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. I may watch the next one tonight...

[charley]

Considering that the Academy Awards are coming up, I am checking out the favs:

So, Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)... interesting film, worth watching - up for 5 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture - and Best Actor for Rami Malek. Being a sci-fi fan, I know Malek from I, Robot :) I am not a rocker at all, but it was a fairly good film. Of course, there were all the songs that I've already heard and I'm sure many here know, and it was quite entertaining. I do not think it will win as Best Picture, but Malek was pretty good. Am not sure I would watch it again. I have to agree with one comment by one of the actors in the film, that he wouldn't really have much to do with Freddie Mercury until Mercury "liked himself", and I think that was something I picked up on early in the film... shame that he had to get sick just to wake up.

Now, also saw A Star is Born (2018), which I enjoyed more than Bohemian Rhapsody - on the whole. Lady Gaga was really good - boy can she sing - and act! The fact that there was "love" involved engaged me more than the Rhapsody. Up for many awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor. Worth watching, I may see it a second time.

Mademoiselle de Joncquières....English nobility can be mean ( The Favourite );French nobility is just plain viscious.

Mara a horror movie on Netflix.

Last week was East of Eden with my main man James Dean.

[charley]

Well, I saw Black Panther (2018), and really liked it overall. Much fun, action, drama, fantasy... (wishful thinking - lol/the American Dream for m/woc). So, I suspended my belief system so to speak (btw, I don't any beliefs), and just enjoyed the film for what it is, and it was really quite well done. It's nominated for 7 Academy Awards and I thought it was well worth watching. As an aside - Hey, this evil guy, Klaue - I thought he reminded me of some actor I had seen before, and in the 2nd scene he appeared in, it dawned on me, it was Gollum (!!! *g) from Lord of the Rings, the inimitable Andy Serkis.

Well, the SAG awards were announced, and this film beat out all the others for best picture (i.e. it won out over A Star is Born, Bohemian Rhapsody, BlacKkKlansman, and Crazy Rich Asians). Apparently, the Screen Actors Guild are said to be a good indicator of who might win at the Academy Awards; we'll see, right?

Anyhooo, as Nina Simone, once sang - but not in this film (btw, I once saw her live... :) ):

"To be young, gifted and black,
Oh what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted and black,
Open your heart to what I mean..."

(2018) Glenn Close, Jonathan Pryce, Christian Slater



I had been wanting to see this ever since I read the book by Meg Wolitzer. In the book it's not as clearly spelled out that she wrote all the books not him! I remember after reading the book shaking my head and thinking why, after all he put her thru, would she still want to preserve his reputation. I guess I'm still wondering the same thing after seeing the movie!

The cast and acting is great and I really enjoyed the movie! I can see why Glen Close is up for so many awards this season!

Papillon. Based on true story. I liked.

[jools66]

Watched this film last night on dvd.
I have to say I rather think it was hyped up a lot.
Although the young actor
Timothée Chalet was very good,I just found it way too long.
The press were all over this movie when it was released.
But for me it was just ok.

[StillettoDoll]

Roma.... absolutely awesome, I thought this was such a beautiful movie cinematography was superb, got a few glimpses of my own childhood in this movie , my pick for best picture:praying:

[charley]

I too saw Roma... [in Spanish with English subs]... oh, what a beautiful film (!!!), a masterpiece...

It was shot in black and white

Could easily win best "Foreign Language Film", is also in the running for best "Picture"; it's up for 10 nominations... we'll see...

I felt at times as if I was snooping in on on the daily life of a real family - who was surreptitiously under surveillance, especially Cleo. The whole film really touched me, and will be hard to forget. Absolutely, it was a remarkable work of art, and everyone (except for Fermín and the absent husband) was endearing.

As an aside, I am sure I saw a '57 Chevy in it - my dad had one, turquoise and white...

Since we have no movie theaters less than an hour away. Have to depend on cable. The last one we watched was Dunkirk. Well acted with beautiful cinematography. Well worth watching, especially for those of us who enjoy WWII military history. It also did justice to the British civilian navy volunteers who, using their own vessels, saved many drowning sailors from ships on fire.

(one problem during the film, Partner and I argued about where Dunkirk was located...She argued, France...I maintained Belgium. We both ended up correct.)

Widows starring Viola Davis Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki Cynthia Erivo

Set in contemporary Chicago, four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands' criminal activities, take fate into their own hands, and conspire to forge a future on their own terms. IF only this was the movie Hollywood made! A wonderful cast of women that the movie should of revolved around but didn't IMHO!

I guess "the powers that be" in Hollywood thought throwing a lame political twist in with big name actors such as Robert Duvall & Collin Farrell would be more bankable!

OK film, but not great.

This film I felt was too hyped up by the producers.
It could have been cut by at least 10 minutes.
Also i didn't think it looked has visually stunning as Avatar.
There was a moral storyline to it.
But for me it just didn't delivered.

The last movie I saw was "Pretty In Pink" starring Molly Ringwald. Amazingly, I never saw this movie in the '80's (the halcyon days of my youth, LOL!). I didn't like it as much as I did "Sixteen Candles".

I saw a really good documentary last night on Netflix called "Period. End of Sentence." Apparently, a lot of young women in India drop out of school upon the onset of menarche, because they don't have proper pads, just old rags to use for protection, and they have to walk so far away from the building to dispose of the used rags in a ditch somewhere. Also, it's considered shameful.

Somebody introduces the raw materials and machine needed for actual menstrual pads to be manufactured. This machine created jobs and income for the women in this particular village. They went door to door and sold all of their stock in one day! Most women are too embarrassed to go to the market and purchase pads, hence the wild success of their door to door business.

I know its not an actual movie, but I highly recommend it.

[introverted1]

I wonder if Geena Davis was ever nominated for a Razzie based on her performance in "Earth Girls Are Easy"? Now that I think of it, her performance was probably fine, but the movie was awful, LOL!

[jools66]

This movie will unnerve you even now.
After all the scandal about the FBI, CIA etc being able to look at all we put online, phones and God knows what else it leaves you thinking how this one guy had to have some guts to expose this practice.
Even now I doubt very much that this practice has stopped.
Excellent film.

Not a film but a doco

MOMO - Sam Giancana Documentary Amazon Prime


The film details the life of a tough, impoverished kid who rose through the ranks of Chicago's underworld to become a top member-many say the real godfather-of the most ruthless gangland organization in the country: The Outfit, run by Al Capone. Giancana was purported to have helped get JFK elected president, as well as being hired by the CIA. It also showcases the Giancana daughters who best knew their father as a loving family man.

This was very good.......:movieguy:

Seen the trailer for this and thought it looked like a average/not so good film so dismissed it totally. But having got a 4K bluray player and it being cheap to buy thought what the hell and got it.
This movie was actually a big surprise and a good one at that. Wont give anything away. Its sci-fi based but not hard sci-fi and gets you thinking would you do the same given the situation.
Check it out but don't go much by the trailer.

This had so much potential to be a great film. But instead its one to steer clear of.
Read the book and i guarantee that you will be moved so much.

Where's My Roy Cohn?


Roy Cohn personified the dark arts of American politics, turning empty vessels into dangerous demagogues - from Joseph McCarthy to his final project, Donald J. Trump.

One of the most controversial and influential American men of the 20th Century, Roy Cohn was a ruthless and unscrupulous lawyer and political power broker whose 28-year career ranged from acting as chief counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy's Communist-hunting subcommittee to molding the career of a young Queens real estate developer named Donald Trump.

Really found this movie a very good watch. There are parts that make you just plain sick at some of the conduct that goes on, it also makes you angry has hell too at moments.
Given what's going on in the world at the moment its very relevant regarding a lot of high powered men.
Being not from the usa i didn't know these women but that didn't really make it any less of a very good movie for me.
Great acting by all the cast too.

I liked this film, though it was really slow at the beginning.
This i think was due to the fact that they wanted to get the entire story out.
The acting is very good.
The way it makes you feel is mixed.
And god knows it makes you angry as hell.
You just cant believe this actually went on and people are still fighting for their claim even now.

SORRY ITS CALLED DRIVEN
This is absolutely a must watch.
Unfortunatley it was only on bbc UK as far as i know, but bits of interview are on youtube.

The Gentlemen

[FireSignFemme]

I can't remember the name but it was yesterday and it was gross and horrible. A man was outside smoking andi is abducted by a man who dresses up in different costumes and comes down to the basement periodically where he has him tied up, to torture him. His first role play he dressed up as a clown. Even though it's just a film I had to close my eyes and fast forward through most of it because even though it did look a little fake in certain parts still I felt compelled to watch. I just had to know was he punished and if so how was he punished, or how did his victim escape. Turned out in the end the psycho proved to be the guy's wife who realized he was the serial killer all over the news and got him to do her husband in because she discovered her best friend was having an affair with her husband. Wow, jealousy can get bad but like that – oh shit! A good lesson in how things can go too far if someone doesn't work really hard on keeping their revenge fantasies in check.

Re-watched this recently.......:hangloose:

Marshall 2017 Chadwick Boseman, Josh Gad, Kate Hudson

About a young Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American Supreme Court Justice, as he battles through one of his early career-defining cases while working for the NAACP.

I enjoyed it, but I would love to see someone do a movie about his actual journey to being appointed to the Supreme Court and once there how he was treated by his fellow justices etc etc

I'm going to try and catch this movie again sometime soon too hopefully..;:popcorn:

I try and avoid movie critics and I avoid Rotten Tomato at all cost!

I seek out recommendations from people I trust and to be honest, some of the best movies suggestions, I've gotten have been from people's posts here..:movieguy:

This still holds true after all these years, ESPECIALLY the avoiding of Rotten Tomatoes!!!!

[homoe]

I literally just finished this movie.

It was amazing. Al of the cast were great but this is the best work Murphy's ever done. Fantastic!

IF you've never seen this and love Eddie, treat yourself...:hangloose:

I'll See You In My Dreams (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3236120/)

With Blythe Danner, Martin Starr, Sam Elliot, Rhea Perlman, Mary Kay Place, June Squibb.

watch?v=F1VbBOTXzfI

Saw this a couple nights ago and enjoyed it. Images and lines from the film are still with me. The chemistry between Danner and Ellot was nice and believable. It's almost a quiet and thoughtful movie, but it was funny and sweet, too. It also moved at a nice pace.

A bit of a spoiler follows....





Generally, I moan and groan about not liking happy Hollywood endings, but I was hoping for one in this movie. I didn't get it, but I still enjoyed it.

YES, I wanted that happy ending as well.......:hangloose:

Gloria Bell 2018 Stars: Julianne Moore, John Turturro,


A bit quirky but I REALLY enjoyed this movie. It's about loneliness, facing the fact that our lives didn't turn out as we had planned, relationships, etc etc.

It also has FANTASTIC music throughout! Do yourself a favor and at least catch a preview of it.........:movieguy:

Watched this again! Check it out! Honestly would I stir you wrong..

Widows starring Viola Davis Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki Cynthia Erivo

Set in contemporary Chicago, four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands' criminal activities, take fate into their own hands, and conspire to forge a future on their own terms. IF only this was the movie Hollywood made! A wonderful cast of women that the movie should of revolved around but didn't IMHO!

I guess "the powers that be" in Hollywood thought throwing a lame political twist in with big name actors such as Robert Duvall & Collin Farrell would be more bankable!


I did enjoy it tho ..........

Come across the book Widows by Lynda La Plante, do yourself a favor and buy it! S O much better than this movie which it was based on....:glasses:

[homoe]

Tonight we watched Professor Marston and the Wonder Women. There is so much going on in this movie it's hard to know where to start......It's not about Wonder Woman but there is that, it's not about a Ménage à trois but there is that also.....if anything I'd have to say this movie is about love and accepting all that comes with it and thumbing your nose at society's norms!

Please check this movie out.........:movieguy:

I'd have to say one of the better sleepers when it was released!

I saw Holiday in the Wild tonight. It's got Kristin Davis and Rob Lowe. It's about Africa and elephants with some Hallmark-esque romance in the background. It certainly wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen. Hell, I could have put it on mute and figured out the story line but I do enjoy watching Mr. Lowe. Not a bad lookin' fella.

I saw Holiday in the Wild tonight. It's got Kristin Davis and Rob Lowe . . . I do enjoy watching Mr. Lowe. Not a bad lookin' fella.


I'm happy to learn he's got work still. I never did think anything he did was all that bad in the 1980s, and I'm sorry he left The West Wing as early as he did.

[homoe]

The Last Blockbuster.


IMHO, a real snoozer and a waste of money! Wait till it pops up free


Netflix vs the World (2019) is a much better choice IMHO...

[Gemme]

I'm happy to learn he's got work still. I never did think anything he did was all that bad in the 1980s, and I'm sorry he left The West Wing as early as he did.

You mean the sex tape? Technically, they were both of legal age although it wasn't the brightest thing he's ever done.

He is on 9-1-1: Lone Star now. He's another one like George Clooney that just seems to age better and better.

To be thread compliant, I saw Playing for Keeps tonight and even though it had a lot of big names in it, it fell flat for me. Maybe because I was in an action movie mood but wound up watching a touchy feely movie instead. Gotta be in the right mindset sometimes.

The Wizard of Lies (2017) Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Hank Azaria.


In 2008, stockbroker, investment advisor and financier Bernie Madoff made headlines around the world when he was arrested for perpetrating perhaps the largest financial fraud in U.S. history.

The Wizard of Lies examines Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme — his deception, lies and cover-up, all as the financier’s wife and sons are catapulted into a harsh and unrelenting spotlight.

This was very good.......:popcorn:

I noticed a whole slew of movies about Madoff, perhaps this is because of his recent passing?

Halloween Kills - not as good as the other Michael Myers Halloween movies that I love and have seen hundreds of times, but it was okay.

TMC featured some Greenstreet movies last night and IMHO, Conflict is one of his best...:movieguy:


Richard Mason is slightly hurt in a car accident but pretends that his injuries are worse so that he cannot accompany his wife, Kathryn on a trip to the mountains. He does, however, kill her on a lonely mountain road. Or did he? He smells her perfume, finds her jewelry, sees an envelope addressed in her handwriting. He goes back to the scene of the crime to find ... what???

Long Life, Happiness and Prosperity (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0323103/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_60)

Watched this Canadian film the other night and enjoyed it. Starring Sandra Oh and a young and very talented Valerie Tian. There were lags in the story where I wanted the film to move on, but it was fun, smart, and sweet without being syrupy. It was worth watching.

From IMDB.com: Twelve-year-old Mindy Ho inexpertly tries Taoist magic to fix her single mother's financial situation and seemingly hopeless romantic prospects.

I watched "Otto" with a friend yesterday.
It's been a long time since my eyes watered so much. I'm thinking it was hitting a little too close to home.

I’ve been watching movies, over on YouTube, since this afternoon.

I watched: The Proposal; then a Tom Hanks & Sally Fields movie from 1988; and this summer when it debuts in theaters I plan to go see Ben Affleck in The Accountant II.

We Will Rock You: Queen Live in Concert (Montreal, 1981) This was a good Queen concert film. They did a lot of songs that weren't in their other filmed concerts. Definitely worth a watch for Queen fans.

Oh Freddie, I miss you so.

I saw it for free on TubiTV.com. I was looking for a comedy with Regina Hall and found this. It's sweet and fun.

Christopher Nolan is the director of this film (prior films: Tenet, Interstellar, Oppenheimer, Dunkirk, and many more).

It’s a crime thriller film about a writer who follows people to gather writing material. The protagonist (The Young Man) is exceptional in his role for this film.

Spoiler alert here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0634240/

I watched Sweet November (2001) last night on the Kanopy app.
