What Was The Last Movie You Saw? Welcome Cinephiles.

Gemme · 01-29-2017, 04:54 PM

I saw A Dog's Purpose on Friday. I was a bit torn about it given the video that's surfaced showing a trainer forcing one of the dogs into rapidly churning water and then s/he was soon after sucked under. It was hard to watch.

I was torn, of course, because that's not how animals are supposed to be treated anywhere--not just on a movie lot--and also because the person who leaked this obviously has no interest in the care of the animal at all.

Movies are typically made 1-2 years before they open in theatres and someone sat on this footage all that time with the only intention of ruining opening sales for the movie. There was no humanitarian or altruistic leaning in this; it is purely financial and/or vengeful.

Part of me wants to work against their goal for the principle of it but part of me did want to hold off because there are agencies in place to make sure that stuff like that doesn't happen. That dog was failed, on multiple levels and by multiple people.

BUT

I went to see it and bawled a good 50% through the movie. It's a good movie. I still want to find out what happened after the water situation and if it was addressed or not, but I'm not sorry that I went to see it.

The Book of Love Jason Sudeikis, Maisie Williams, Jessica Biel

Henry is an introverted architect. After the death of his wife in a car accident, he sets out to help Millie, a homeless teen, to build a raft to sail across the Atlantic.

I enjoyed it very much

The Accountant........twice LOL

I had to watch it twice to grasp all the stuff I missed the first time around! It was different I must say, but it held my attention that's for sure

I rented The Force Awakens and The Edge of Winter on Red Box.

Loved the Star Wars movie but hated the second one. I really wanted Pete's Dragon but it was sold out

Keep trying, Cinn! Pete's Dragon was sold out the first 5-6 times I went looking for it. It's really cute and well done. I think you might like it.

Im pretty sure I'll love it. I may just buy it. If I don't love it I can always send it to my nieces and nephew

Oh and i rented Manchester by the Sea. It was quite good.

I rented the AbFab movie and couldn't finish it. Just awful.

Snowden was interesting but the actors voice annoyed me.
