What Was The Last Movie You Saw? Welcome Cinephiles.

Straight Outta Compton.

I loved this movie. The writing was excellent and the music fantastic.

The GF does not really like rap and also really liked it.

Very worth seeing. It was like a time capsule of the period.

I wish the excesses of the police of the time were also a thing of the past but we know that is not true. It felt so shameful watching it, just as it does now.

From Rotten Tomatoes, with a score of 90%:

In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country. When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation. Following the meteoric rise and fall of N.W.A., Straight Outta Compton tells the astonishing story of how these youngsters revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war. -- (C) Universal Pictures

Mr. Holmes

Loved the slow pace, small details, and character development. It seems so counter to most movies today.

Where Hope Grows

I enjoyed it, made me cry actually. I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I DVRd it.

Eh. I saw the ending come from a mile away but c'mon...it's 007.

Gemme · 09-01-2015, 03:55 PM

Daniel Craig put me in the mood, I guess.

I saw this movie today and it was AWESOME.

My only twitchy thing is that they put things in the trailers that aren't in the movie. Now I wonder what the movie would have been like with those scenes in there. Oh well. At least it left the door open in case they want to pursue a franchise.

I'll See You In My Dreams

With Blythe Danner, Martin Starr, Sam Elliot, Rhea Perlman, Mary Kay Place, June Squibb.

Saw this a couple nights ago and enjoyed it. Images and lines from the film are still with me. The chemistry between Danner and Ellot was nice and believable. It's almost a quiet and thoughtful movie, but it was funny and sweet, too. It also moved at a nice pace.

A bit of a spoiler follows....

Generally, I moan and groan about not liking happy Hollywood endings, but I was hoping for one in this movie. I didn't get it, but I still enjoyed it.

This weekend I am going to watch

Jupiter Ascending: Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) was born under signs that predicted future greatness, but her reality as a woman consists of cleaning other people's houses and endless bad breaks. Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered hunter, arrives on Earth to locate her, making Jupiter finally aware of the great destiny that awaits her: Jupiter's genetic signature marks her as the next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

and

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: As the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel has only a single remaining vacancy - posing a rooming predicament for two fresh arrivals - Sonny pursues his expansionist dream of opening a second hotel.

YES, I wanted that happy ending as well.......

I loved this as well. The actors were so good. Was surreal seeing Cube's son as him , that worked out perfectly. Also an important message about a number of issues were conveyed through this film as it was about so much more than just nostalgic gangsta rap.

Was a little bizarre seeing a guy my friends and I went to high school with as an actor in the opening scene.
