What Was The Last Movie You Saw? Welcome Cinephiles.

This is quite sad:
Last Movie at a theater: Code Talkers (1st run)
Movie on cable: Snowden

Live more than 1 hour from a movie theater without a car and no transit. When I lived in a city, frequently (several times/wk) went to films.

We saw Pitch Perfect 3 last night.

It was cute and fun, as expected.

I can SO relate....we do have a movie theater here but it's pretty small with those smaller screens not like the stadium seating theaters I'm used to

Last night I watched Growing Up Smith.......it was OK

Hi everyone.
Went to see these films yesterday.
Darkest Hours is an absolutely brilliant film, the acting is of the highest calibre. And you can see why this is going to scoop a load of awards. It shows a side of Winston that is more human than a lot of films and the enormous task he had to face once he became prime minister. even if you are not into the history side of things it's a film I cannot recommend enough to go and see.
A gem of a film and one I will very happily watch again.

Coco was for me a film that took a time to get going but it did after a while. I really liked the music and the colours the film had. It actually deals with serious subjects which kids sometimes don't understand, particularly the dementia. It does a very good job at addressing these issues. Overall I liked the film, would I get it on dvd when it comes out?
Only to add to my collection.

I love anything to do with Julia Child, so I rented the movie on cable TV and watched Nora Ephron's screenplay comedy based on the true story about Julie Powell, an fledgling writer stuck in a soul killing job, who decides to cook 524 recipes by Julia Child. Amy Adams as Julie Powell; Meryl Streep as Julia Child.

I enjoyed this movie and recommend it as an great movie!

Here's a trailer for Julie & Julia:

Simply love this film too.
There is an extremely good book called France is a Feast: The Photographic Journey of Paul and Julia Child.
It's great if you like julia, and the pictures were mostly taken by her husband Paul, who was a very good photographer as it happens.
It's really worth a look, you can find it on amazon.

Moonlight..............

A chronicle of the childhood, adolescence and burgeoning adulthood of a young, African-American, gay man growing up in a rough neighborhood of Miami.

I was late getting around to watching this academy wining film for some reason or another.......really enjoyed it

Orema · 01-24-2018, 08:18 AM

The Post.

This is the best movie I've seen from 2017. It was excellent. I hope Streep gets the Oscar for this performance, but I don't think she will. And I'm disappointed Speilberg and Hanks didn't get a nomination.

I'll watch it again when it comes out on a streaming service. Only next time, I'll watch it with All The Presidents Men—that's the perfect double-feature.

jools66 · 01-31-2018, 10:41 AM

Saw these 2 films over a few days ago.
I really was thinking The Post would be my kind of film, After all the cast is very good.
But instead i was there 45 minutes in thinking how bored to tears i was.
It was a very very slow building film from what i could guess.
I didn't stay to find out.
Perhaps i just wasn't in the mood to see that kind of film at that time.
I will give it another try when its on Netflix or amazon, and see if my verdict changes.

I absolutely loved Downsizing, it gets into your head, and you are thinking "would that be possible" its funny and moving & thought provoking about what we are doing to our planet, and how its gonna end up.
It does slightly lose sight at the end though, in that you kind of feel that maybe its gone a bit off track at some point.
There are the most gorgeous views of Norway in it, and the small/normal size scenes are very cleverly done.
I would go and see it again,

Heidi knows her mom loves her. But because of her mother's mental disability, she is unable to care for herself or her daughter. Their loving neighbor, Bernadette, helps out and is a vital part of their family.

The truth about her mother's identity eats away at Heidi. She simply cannot rest until she pieces together Mama's past through clues that appear over the years. Why is her mother terrified of buses? Why do rainy days make her anxious? When Heidi finds some old photos of her mother at a Christmas party held at Hill House Home in Liberty, New York, she decides she must travel there alone in order to discover who her mother truly is. The trip is a frightening yet exciting adventure for determined, courageous Heidi.

I dont know what the book was like but the movie was well done. It will take your emotions on a roller coaster tho.

cinnamongrrl · 01-31-2018, 11:34 AM

We saw Hostiles last night and liked it very much. The scenery is almost as much a character as the people. I found myself often distracted by the beauty of these places.

The story is incredible and I'm already thinking I need to see if there is a book it's based upon. There were some unanswered questions that I had. But truly, a movie that could easily become a classic.

Degotoga · 01-31-2018, 07:28 PM

12 Strong

Based on the true story of the first ground troops to strike back after the September 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S... they kicked some Taliban ass via horseback.

Very well done. Highly recommend.

puddin' · 02-03-2018, 11:39 AM
