I watched a somewhat odd but enjoyable movie last night on Netflix called Waffle Street....:popcorn:

stars: James Lafferty, Danny Glover, Julie Gonzalo

Waffle Street is an adaptation of James Adams' 2010 memoir of the same name. After being laid off at the hedge fund where he worked, and further jaded by his culpability in the crisis, Adams chose to work at a popular 24-hour diner. Offering a fresh take on the fallout of corporate greed, Adams' is a tale of the redemption and unlikely friendship found under the tutelage of Glover's character Edward, the best grill man in town.

Flash from the past ~~ Butterfield 8

Dark Skies. It was about a family that was being stalked by aliens, and they took one of their sons.

When I was a kid, my mom told me if anyone every took me, they'd return me in short order! I assume I was a handful ....:giggle:

Shot Caller ~ the trailer has some spoilers~
 

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, also known as Jamie Lannister in GOT, in a totally different role that starts with him as a stockbroker Everyman out for a night with his wife and another couple.

It winds up with him somewhere that he never would have dreamed in his former life.

His acting is outstanding and the movie is sobering. It is violent but goes with the territory.

Saturday Evening I re-watched Philomena (2013)

Any cinephiles interested in film festivals? I keep wanting to go... and then keep forgetting... about the Austin Film Festival which takes place in October. I mention Austin's just because it was advertised this morning on the radio. If there was a festival elsewhere .... and there were others also interested in attending... I'm game! :)

The Milwaukee Film Festival, presented by Associated Bank, announces the opening of its Festival Box Office today in addition to an online box office. The main box office will be located at the Oriental Theater prior to the start of the festival, with 4 additional locations opening on September 29 at each of their festival theater.

"Hidden Figures" (and it was amazing!)

You def have the 411 on the film festivals! ;) Ever been to one? I've not and am really curious!

I've been to the Milwaukee one several times and to the Seattle one once or twice...........:popcorn:

I think going with a group of friends is more fun IMHO

Agreed! :koolaid:
