Furlough .. Melissa Leo Whoopi Goldberg


When an inmate is granted one weekend out of prison to see her dying mother, a rookie correction officer struggles to keep her under control.



We liked it but this movie switched from a very funny comedy to a drama near the end.

We rented it On Demand btw..........

The Dressmaker 2015 Kate Winslet, Judy Davis, Liam Hemsworth




A glamorous woman returns to her small town in rural Australia. With her sewing machine and haute couture style, she transforms the women and exacts sweet revenge on those who did her wrong.

Oh glad you liked it too! It was bit "different" but most enjoyable and Judy Davis was outstanding!

OMG Yes the ending! PERFECTION :movieguy:

Love After Love
 

staring: Andie MacDowell, Chris O'Dowd


Following the death of their father, two sons deal with the trials of their own lives while watching their mother explore new beginnings of her own.

IMHO it was an odd little movie and certainly NOT an uplifting one. :movieguy:

READY PLAYER ONE
 

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.

From the Land of the Moon (Mal de pierres)
 

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.

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!

Here's an movie trailer for the independent film, Gemini, homoe. It waa filmed and peoduced last year (2017), but is due for release this year (2018). But yes, check it out! :hangloose:

I enjoyed reading his article about his love affair with VHS tapes...

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:

Molly's Game.......
 

The true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target.

Finally got around to watching this last night! It was WAY better than I thought it would be :hangloose:

It just goes to show you if the FBI wants ya or wants you to turn on others, they'll stop at nothing to do it!

I do think Sharon Stone would of been a bit better in this role!

I would love to see him make a documentary about his love affair with VHS tapes!

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!
