Amy

The ultimate eulogy to a talented young woman who had her demons stoked by those closest to her. Not an original story. Unfortunately.

I'd recommend seeing it only if you are/were a die-hard fan of Amy Winehouse. Otherwise, wait for on-demand or Netflix and then only a bargain matinee because it's more like an E True Hollywood Story than a rich documentary. But, then again, she wasn't around long, but she did leave a mark.

Before We Go (2014) Stars: Chris Evans, Alice Eve,

A young woman in New York City races to catch the 1:30 Train to Boston and after missing it connects with a good samaritan

I really liked this movie! For the most part it's just the two title characters set against the backdrop of New York City. Throughout the movie we learned what each characters life has entailed and not in a whinny sort of way either! If you've ever had unanswered questions from a failed relationship, you might enjoy this movie

If you're a fan of the film The Long Good Friday you may enjoy this video on the making of it.

The Long Good Friday is a classic British gangster film. It stars Bob Hoskins, Helen Mirren, with Pierce Brosnan in his first role (a small role, but a good one).

The film's about a successful British gangster whose organization is imploding on Good Friday just as he's trying to forge a bond with an American gangster. It's very good. The storyline was complex at times with some twists—a good film and worth watching.

Packed in a Trunk: The Lost Art of Edith Lake Wilkinson

Edith's great-niece, Emmy Award winning writer and director Jane Anderson, rescued Edith's work. The film follows Jane in her decades-long journey to find the answers to the mystery of Edith's buried life, return the work to Provincetown Mass and have Edith's contributions recognized by the larger art world!

I caught this on HBO the other night and enjoyed it very much

Last night watched An Amish Murder. It was pretty good.

C0LLETTE · 07-25-2015, 06:58 PM

Minions.....I detested it

Tierney · 07-27-2015, 05:48 AM

I watched this last night. It started slow and I was worried it was going to be bad. Also, I am not normally a fan of sci-fi.

However, it turned out to be pretty good.

I also watched this as well yesterday. Mainly because I am a fan of Javier Bardem. But, I was multi-tasking and the movie is subtitled. Soooo. However, the premise of the movie was quite good. I should try it again when I can actually pay attention.

Gemme · 08-22-2015, 04:57 AM

I saw this movie.

It was cute and who doesn't love Sam L. Jackson?

*Anya* · 08-22-2015, 11:23 AM

We saw Meru yesterday. The GF and I take turns with our choice of movies.

Meru was her choice.

She loves any kind of sports or mountain climbing movie.

I don't get the risks climbers take in climbing mountains, but it was a very good documentary and I am glad that I saw it.

After Words 2015 Marcia Gay Harden, Óscar Jaenada

A librarian facing a mid-life crisis travels to Costa Rica.

Even though I had heard very little about this movie previously, I enjoyed it very much

Gemme · 08-23-2015, 05:34 PM

I saw this tonight:

It had a lot of gratuitous violence and stoner humor but I still liked it. You can't help but like the poor guy.

cinnamongrrl · 08-23-2015, 06:12 PM

I woke up wicked early today...like 4 or 5...and started watching Being Flynn...but I fell back to sleep...soo...Im gonna finish it later...what I saw seemed really good...

Spare Parts 2015 George Lopez, Jamie Lee Curtis, Carlos PenaVega

Four Hispanic high school students form a robotics club. With no experience, 800 bucks, used car parts and a dream, this rag tag team goes up against the country's reigning robotics champion, MIT.

This was a very good movie and if I'm not mistaken based on a true story

You are not mistaken. The same school continued to win and place high in the same robotics competition for several years. The last shot of the school in the movie showed the years that they won from 2004 forward on the front of the building.

I just watched "Fruitvale Station" I don't know why I didn't watch it earlier.

Until recently I lived in and around the area. It was strange to see all the familiar places in a film.
I was there when the events happened and it only seems like yesterday.

Weirdly homesick.

Gemme · 09-07-2015, 03:05 PM

Based purely on the action, it was fantastic. As a fan of the franchise, it's not the same without Jason Statham and I kept focusing on the new guy's teeth.

He can fight and he's got a sexy voice but I really want to hold him down and put braces on his teeth.

Plus his dad must be a shit spy to get kidnapped and ambushed as much as he does in this film. No wonder they only gave him 791 euros.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

deathbypoem · 09-13-2015, 01:41 PM

If you like movies about time travel, love and loss. Please check this out!

A man (Hugh Jackman) travels through time
on a quest for immortality and
to save the woman (Rachel Weisz) he loves.

This movie is also absolutely stunning!

A metaphysical, time traveling yet present romance. <3

Last night I watched S.W.A.T. on Netflix...I was in the mood for an action flick and it fit the bill...

Fancy · 09-16-2015, 10:21 AM

Went to see A Walk In The Woods based on the Bill Bryson book of the same name. I was very disappointed, not only because of how it differed and failed to capture the experience of the book, but also because the directing seemed to falter in weaving the episodes and connection between the actors.

Ho-hum.
