What Was The Last Movie You Saw? Welcome Cinephiles.

We saw Freeheld.

I always try to support lesbian movies (since there are so few of them).

The couple on whose lives it was based did have a large age difference between them but it was so disconcerting to me to see oh-so-young looking Ellen Page with Julianne Moore. It made it more difficult to get lost in the story for both of us.

I'm watching this movie right now.

I'm about 20 minutes or so in and there's no Jennifer Lopez yet but I do enjoy watching Jason Statham in action. I'm a sucker for a criminal with scruples.

Cartel Land.

Unbelievable but true documentary about two vigilantes fighting the drug cartels on both sides of the Mexican and American borders.

It was gut-wrenching but also opened my eyes in a new way to the experience of the people that live it every day.

Truly great documentary.

The New York Times reviewer called it "urgent and unnerving".

That it is.

Focus~~ Will Smith Margot Robbie

It isn't the normal type of movie I prefer, but it did have one or two good scenes (like at the Super Bowl game)If you enjoy Will Smith check this one out

*Anya* · 10-13-2015, 04:54 PM

93% on tomato meter and I agree completely. Cartel Land had piqued my interest in seeing it and the reviews were great.

An extremely suspenseful movie. All performances terrific. Not an easy one to watch.

IMDb:

Sicario (2015)

An idealistic FBI agent is enlisted by an elected government task force to aid in the escalating war against drugs at the border area between the U.S. and Mexico.

My sister and I hung out this weekend and these were our picks:

Fancy · 10-16-2015, 06:06 AM

Saw a few shows at the local ImageOut film festival, but this one stuck in my mind the most....

Two 4 One

It was well done, dignified, lovable, and funny. I'd see it again if I could. What impressed me as well was meeting the writer/director after the show for Q & A. A lot of thought went into this movie.

Talon · 10-16-2015, 10:24 AM

I watched a true and powerful film on HBO called 'A Normal Heart'.

It's about the AIDS crisis in NYC in the 80's...definitely NOT lighthearted,
but very good.

Great film.
Just makes you realize how much we take for granted now.

Gemme · 10-20-2015, 08:44 AM

I saw Goosebumps. Because I wanted to and I adore Jack Black.

It was fun and true to Goosebumps. There was a mild twist in the middle and a bigger twist at the end.

Watched this film at the weekend.
Watched it mainly because Todd Haynes directed it.
Heard it was beautifully shot, and wasn't disappointed.
Julieanne moore is brilliant.
Would say this film is great film to watch, but don't watch it if you arte feeling a bit down.
Its not a feel good movie.
