Splash
The creature from the black lagoon
Beauty and the Beast

The dark humour in this film is what breaks it up to stop it being too heavy, and you get a sense that this must be what Tonya's humour must be like.
The final penalty I thought was very harsh for Tonya.
I liked this film a lot, and it looked like most of the cinema audience did too.

thanks Jools, i watched it.

it was bizarre. Some of the scenes, especially the childhood scenes were hard to stomach, but yes I think this is Tonya’s style.

I’m not sure I’m believing all of it but I believe its her truth, for whatever reason.

I’m glad I watched it, thanks!

I saw The Phantom Thread last week, a very, errr, *interesting* film experience. Definitely the most “I didn’t see THAT coming” moment I’ve had in a film in awhile. I would advise waiting to see this until it’s streaming and free.

girl_dee · 02-28-2018, 03:17 PM

i loved this one!

easygoingfemme · 02-28-2018, 04:19 PM

We are going to see one of the special screenings of The Dark Crystal tonight

cinnamongrrl · 03-01-2018, 05:04 AM

We went to see 12 Strong before it leaves the theater. It was very good, but then I've always enjoyed war movies.

girl_dee · 03-01-2018, 05:18 AM

i watched “The Post”

Directed by Steven Spielberg

Starring Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep.

It was very good! i may have to watch it again.

Biography · A cover-up that spanned four U.S. Presidents pushed the country's first female newspaper publisher and a hard-driving editor to join an unprecedented battle between the press and the government.

I saw Wonder earlier today and it was fantastic! I bawled like a baby.

It was very, very good.

akiza · 03-01-2018, 01:29 PM

Rec 4:Apocalypse ^^ it's a good horror movie

girl_dee · 03-01-2018, 07:21 PM

I’m watching The Hostiles- Its pretty good!

In 1892, legendary Army Capt. Joseph Blocker reluctantly agrees to escort a dying Cheyenne war chief and his family back to their tribal land. Embarking on a harrowing and perilous journey from Fort Berringer, N.M., to the grasslands of Montana, they soon encounter a young widow whose family was killed on the plains. The travelers must now band together to survive a punishing landscape that's crawling with hostile Comanches and vicious outliers.

girl_dee · 03-03-2018, 07:42 PM

i watched The Buguiled with Nicole Kidman and Kiersten Dunst.

it was just okay. i knew it was a remake so i decided to watch the 1971 version with Clint Eastwood.

OMG it was so much better than the remake. In the remake they cut out so much, it lost guts!

akiza · 03-04-2018, 05:56 AM

Rec 3:Genesis just gore and zombish marriage ^-^

homoe · 03-08-2018, 09:22 AM

A Man Called Ove.......subtitled

While it was nowhere near as detailed as the book, it was still good and we enjoyed it very much.

homoe · 03-09-2018, 08:07 AM

Finally got around to watching this last night and while it was enjoyable, Oscar worthy I'm not so sure about!

jools66 · 03-11-2018, 02:23 AM

Critics have not been kind to Red Sparrow, but I liked it a lot. It's not trying to be a Bond movie. And that is refreshing in some ways.
Jen plays the role very well, though I am not convinced about her dancing scene.
The film actually went rather fast time wise, which is always a good sign.
Give it a try, even if it's just when it comes out on dvd etc.

Ferdinand - loved this movie, more so than Coco, but that film was entirely different.
Ferdinand does have deep seeded meaning to it about animal welfare. And the conflict between that and tradition.
I have always thought bull fighting was a barbaric event, as I have fox hunting etc.
This film is funny, and it's cute, but it is also constructive in it theme.
Kids and adults will like it.

*Anya* · 03-13-2018, 10:52 AM

I think that Garry Oldman deserved the Oscar for his performance as Winston Churchill.

Very good movie.

*Anya* · 03-15-2018, 08:53 PM

Absolutely beautiful movie. It makes me want to pack up and move to northern Italy.

I don't know how to describe it other than it made me feel to a degree during a movie that I can't remember experiencing before.

Signmypapyrus · 03-15-2018, 09:10 PM

Watched The Invitation. It was ok, although as a film about cults I think The Master is a better crafted film. Definitely not a horror film. Psychological thriller sure. Interesting take on trauma.
Wouldn’t watch again.

Also saw The Force Awakens for the second time. I actually didn’t like it (I don’t like hand holding and the overwrought explanation of the Force was unnecessary and boring) except for the really wonderfully random references to Spaceballs! I thought I imagined those.
I think I’m gonna go as Dark Helmet for Halloween

girl_dee · 03-19-2018, 06:02 AM

A Wrinkle in time

Loved the message
Loved the graphics
Loved Oprah

It wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t great. My movie date was pretty awesome though.

Bèsame* · 03-22-2018, 08:54 PM

Red Sparrow...very graphic, sexy, and I liked it!
