ALITA Battle Angel
 

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.
As I usually say make up ya own mind.

Melissa McCarthy
 

Melissa McCarthy: Oscar-nominated actress wins a Golden Raspberry for worst performance (for The Happytime Murders and Life of the Party). The Golden Raspberry is awarded to the worst films and worst performances of the year, and are announced one day before the Oscars are awarded.

Previous winners of the this Razzie award have included:
Tom Selleck (for Christopher Columbus: The Discovery), Bill Cosby (for Leonard Part 6), Dwayne Johnson (for Baywatch)... and even Sandra Bullock (for All About Steve)...

:byebye:

Hey, wasn't there a actress one year who won both the Oscar and A Razzie? I guess I could google but that'd take the fun out of it! If I had to guess I'd have to say Sandra Bullock tho..:hangloose:

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.

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!

Snowden The Movie
 

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
A womb of their own

looks at masculine identified folks,having children.
It runs the spectrum from butch to transman and also a difference in generations,which I found very interesting.

The Heat.

It was upon the suggestion of a sibling...and so I watched it. And I am glad I did because I needed a break from seriousness..... Had to watch Patton for a class AND Remember the Titans. ugh

Leaving Neverland
 

Alone In Berlin............
 

staring: Emma Thompson, Daniel Brühl, Brendan Gleeson


During WWII, a German couple receive news that their only son has been killed in battle. Already disillusioned with the Nazi regime, they begin a campaign of civil disobedience and write messages on postcards urging fellow Germans to resist.

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

Dances with Wolves

I am hoping that after this weekend I can post that the last movie I saw was The Avengers: The Endgame. We are supposed to go to the drive-in but we'll see if the rain permits it.

there are 2: via cable
 

Finding Dory...

Life with Pets..

Ks-

p.s. *welcomes Netflix renewable gift cards* :eyebat:

I got to see The Avengers Endgame today. Not at the drive-in though. :(

I now have a crush on Captain Marvel. She's a super cute super hero!

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:

"WindWalker".

While lying on his deathbed telling his grandchildren about his life, an old Cheyenne Warrior (WindWalker), dies, but somehow later on, comes back to life and saves his family from a raiding party.

I took my older nephew to see Toy story 4 last weekend. We had a great time. He loved it.

Went to see "Booksmart". It was quite a lot of fun: surprisingly for a Senior attending a "teen" movie. It was delightfully funny, clever and raunchy in just the right way.
