What Was The Last Movie You Saw? Welcome Cinephiles.

Any cinephiles interested in film festivals? I keep wanting to go... and then keep forgetting... about the Austin Film Festival which takes place in October. I mention Austin's just because it was advertised this morning on the radio. If there was a festival elsewhere .... and there were others also interested in attending... I'm game!

The real drag of this film-fest, well actually any of the film-fests in Seattle IMHO are the long lines, and the way they make you wait and wait and wait to let you in to see the movies!

I've particularly noticed that to be the case at queer film festivals, so much so that I can't help but wonder if it isn't some weird way of forcing us to mingle. Maybe it's a social experiment. Shove 'em all together in an annoying shared experience, build solidarity based on a tenuous connection of common ire.

"The Mummy" with Tom Cruise...I had boycotted him a long time ago but decided to try it. Not worth it IMHO, although the special effects were sometimes pretty cool, and the model who played the mummy was gorgeous but alas, and no surprise here...not that good of an actress.

Diamond Men (2000)Stars: Robert Forster, Donnie Wahlberg, Bess Armstrong

A thirty-years traveling diamond salesman must mentor a brash young replacement when his company downsizes him.

It moved a bit slow but I really like Robert Forster so I hung in there and really enjoyed it, especially the way it ended..

imperfect_cupcake · 09-22-2017, 11:23 PM

Fences: 2016 Denzel Washington Viola Davis

The acting was good. And I liked the story. But the ending sucked something awful. I thought the main character was a horrible person, with no understanding of emotional responsibility, and extremely selfish, but they made him into freakin angel.

The nice about Milwaukee's film-fest is that most movies are shown either at the Downer Theater or the Oriental Theater on Milwaukee's east-side! The rest are shown at the campus cinema UW of Milwaukee.
