The nice about Milwaukee's film-fest is that most movies are shown either at the Downer Theater or the Oriental Theater on Milwaukee's east-side! The rest are shown at the campus cinema UW of Milwaukee.

I just saw It Comes At Night . It was crap.

The real drag of this film-fest, well actually any of the film-fests in Seattle IMHO are the long lines, and the way they make you wait and wait and wait to let you in to see the movies!

I've particularly noticed that to be the case at queer film festivals, so much so that I can't help but wonder if it isn't some weird way of forcing us to mingle. Maybe it's a social experiment. Shove 'em all together in an annoying shared experience, build solidarity based on a tenuous connection of common ire.

"The Mummy" with Tom Cruise...I had boycotted him a long time ago but decided to try it. Not worth it IMHO, although the special effects were sometimes pretty cool, and the model who played the mummy was gorgeous but alas, and no surprise here...not that good of an actress.

Diamond Men (2000)Stars: Robert Forster, Donnie Wahlberg, Bess Armstrong



A thirty-years traveling diamond salesman must mentor a brash young replacement when his company downsizes him.

It moved a bit slow but I really like Robert Forster so I hung in there and really enjoyed it, especially the way it ended..:movieguy:

Fences: 2016 Denzel Washington Viola Davis

The acting was good. And I liked the story. But the ending sucked something awful. I thought the main character was a horrible person, with no understanding of emotional responsibility, and extremely selfish, but they made him into freakin angel.

"Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire"

Review? Hmmm .... I'm a Dragon who likes Dragons movies ....
Isn't that enough?! :eatinghersheybar:

GAGA: 5"2
 

It is a really well-done documentary.

I have a femme crush on her anyway and I think it is a great snapshot of her life.

I had no idea that she had suffered such a serious hip injury during her "Born this Way" tour.

Mamma Mia!

i had no idea this was a movie. i've always wanted to see it live. This movie was over the TOP great and just what i needed.

I spent the evening in the company of my BFF and we went to see The Kingsmen: The Secret Service at the theater! OMG, such a great movie! We got our tickets at 1700 hrs, got our popcorn and candy and drinks, then settled in to watch the movie....there was like about an half hour of movie trailer previews for upcoming movie attractions, then the movie was about 2 hours? We didn't know we'd sat there that long, but the movie was fantastic! Even the score of music was so awesome. I won't give too many details, but the interesting theme centered around John Denver songs (LOL) and even Elton John was in an cameo role. It's an action thriller movie in an similar vein as an James Bond type movie or even Austin Powers or even with a twist of Bridget Jones Diary, type of thing.

I thought it was a fantastic movie!

I'm obsessed with it now, lol! :)

oops, wrong trailer, wrong title!

It was The Kingsman: The Golden Circle

Here's the correct video, as well :balloon:

More sequels.........OMG can't Hollywood come up with some original ideas?

When I worked at the video store I had several customers who were writers and submitted their scripts to Hollywood! These people must get so disgusted when they get rejected only to witness some sequel such as Taken 45 or Fast and Furious 601 :eek:

I had a customer who constantly submitted scripts to Woody Allen! To this day I always check to see if I see her name in the credits as co-writer!

The Glass Castle...a terrific film.

AWOL



A young woman Joey is in search of direction in her small town. A visit to an army recruiting office appears to provide a path, but when she meets and falls in love with Rayna that path diverges in ways that neither woman anticipates.

I did NOT enjoy this movie ...........:movieguy:

Baby Driver
 

I absolutely loved this movie!

Action flick? Check!

Completely original? Check!

Sweet at its heart? Check!

Fantastic soundtrack? Check!!

Victoria and Abdul
 

Can't say enough good stuff about this film.
It's a great film to go and see, and Dame Judy is as brilliant as ever.
If you can't get to see it at the cinema get it when it comes out dvd.

Cult of Chucky

2017 on netflix

The legend of hell house...

1973

Mad max but i have yet to truelly understand that some explanations won't be refused

I watched a bunch of movies today via Netflix, HBO, STARZ and other cable channels on TV..... I watched Notting Hill, Sleepless in Seattle, This Is Us (an HBO mini-series, which is very good!), and Hacksaw Ridge!

There are several movies I have yet to see, so maybe next time I house sit for my BFF, I'll catch up again!

Miss Katz, just a sidebar to let you know This Is Us is actually a NBC network series. It airs on Tuesdays.

Hopefully you'll be able to catch Jackie Brown next time:hangloose:

When I use the microphone on the cable TV channel changer, it comes up in ways you can view the show. It is listed as an NBC series, but it's viewable via the cable network on Netflix, which this is how I viewed it (on Netflix).

I will make sure to see Jackie Brown, next time I go over to my BFF house! :balloon:

going to see victoria and abdul this afternoon....looking forward to it

I don't usually spend a lot of time watching movies but we watched so many over this long weekend- it was a dig up golden oldies movies weekend. Friday night was Real Genius at home on video. Saturday was family matinee at a little theater in my city that plays old movies and the Saturday Matinee is always 25 cent admission. They were playing Beetleguise. We took some friends kids with us to give our friends an afternoon free and we all had fun. Then that night we watched Serendipity, and then yesterday was a local fundraiser showing Lost Boys on a big screen. Lots of good viewing!

El Quinto Mandamiento (2011)

It's about a serial-killer..soOoOoky.

:baby:

Well my abstinence from movies didn't last long....:giggle:



Claire in Motion ........Betsy Brandt


Couldn't make it all the way through it, turned it off!

Literally, Right Before Aaron (2017)


A young man attends the wedding of his ex-girlfriend.

At least I made it all the way thru this one..........

Tuesday I watched Maudie on Demand Stars: Sally Hawkins, Ethan Hawke



An arthritic Nova Scotia woman works as a housekeeper while she hones her skills as an artist and eventually becomes a beloved figure in the community. It's loosely based on Maud Lewis who was a Canadian folk artist from Nova Scotia.

The movie moves VERY SLOW but in part due to the great acting by the two lead characters I'd have to say it's worth watching IMHO..:movieguy:

I researched the Jackie Brown movie and discovered it's based off the book, Rum Punch, homoe. Have you read the book too, as well?????

No sorry to say I've never even seen a copy of the book Miss Katz........

Barfly (1987) I've been watching a lot of Mickey Rourke movies lately.

A cast of characters pretending to give a damn about life, yet wasting it all away for a drink.A good train wreck.

Saw Blade Runner 2049...Hated every single minute of this dumb, pretentious waste of film and time...and the never-ending "ending" made no sense at all but took forever to get to. Yuck.

The Mountain Between Us. I really liked it. What made it even better I was in the theater all alone.
