Last movie you saw?

[Mrs. Silvercrest]

The Saggy Dog and Saggy DA, first time my husband has seen them. It was a lot of fun!

 

[Avro Arrow]

Synchronic. An interesting premise, and some genuinely sad moments, although the "rules" seemed inconsistent, if that kind of thing bothers you. I liked the movie, but I will admit that the story seemed, well, I guess a little more "straight-forward" than I was expecting.

 

[FPAlpha]

Godzilla vs. Kong - even with low expectations for a monster smash movie i was disappointed.

I watched The Chronicles of Naria: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader for the first time yesterday morning. I enjoyed it, but not quite as much as the first two. Eustice was a pretty good character, but I missed Peter and Susan.

 

[Coops]

The BBC Iplayer currently has The Damned United, for those UK members who might be interested in what top-flight football/soccer was like fifty years ago.

And, hey, it features our very own Colm Meaney as legendary manager Don Revie.

I shipped Susan/Caspian after PC, totally.

Last movie I saw was "Minority Report", with Tom Cruise.

Gladiator and Casino. I visited Las Vegas when I was 19 and have always wanted to go back. I've seen the film many times but only just noticed something about the scene with the cheats playing Blackjack. It shows the dealer lifting his hole card 'too high' so someone at another table can see it and secretly signal the hole card to the player at the table. I've never heard of Casino blackjack where the dealer looks at their hole card because they don't bet so there is no need for them to know what it is. Or is this a type of game from the 70s where the dealer looked at their hole card? Or just artistic licence?

 

[Aragorn]

The new Mortal Kombat movie on HBO Max. After the opening sequence, it's all downhill. Clunky plotting, no characterization, really bad dialog, and a passive protagonist.

Okay. Wow. Ditto everything.

 

[Admiral2]

Mortal Kombat from 1995.

Say what you will about it, it's more entertaining than the new one.

"Flawless victory."

 

[Amaris]

The River (1984).

Mel Gibson, Sissy Spacek, Scott Glenn. Great movie about a farmer and his family fighting nature, the bank, and a corporation looking to take their land for rights to build a dam in order to create hydro power for the region.

Chaplin --- great movie, great man-

 

[Mrs. Silvercrest]

The Cat From Outer Space

 

[Malicia]

Roadhouse. It gets a hard time but is one of my favourites and has a lot of positives like Sam Elliot, Sunshine Parker and Jeff Healey. The cast were let down by bad production the worst being the scene where someone is punched in the face and it clearly shows blood on his face before the punch has even connected. Unforgivable that something obvious like that wasn't identified and rectified during post production. A few minutes of editing would have prevented an eternity of ridicule.

I still enjoy it as an easy to watch action flick and Kevin Tighe makes me put on the Voyager episode 11:59 after the film.

Back when Time was doing their Best Of the Muppet Show collection, we ordered it, and when it showed up one of the discs was Roadhouse. Not sure how that happened.

 

[Avro Arrow]

Stowaway. It happened to get released on the only streaming service I actually have (Amazon), so I figured it might be a pleasant change of pace for me to get to see something while it's still a new release!

Definitely not family viewing but it had it's moments.

I'm on a break.

Stay on it!

How could I forget Otis' These Arms Of Mine as well. I can't think of any other film with that as part of the soundtrack.

Went to AMC Tyler this past Sunday, watched Minari and then Mortal Kombat in IMAX.

That's one hell of a double feature.

That's one hell of a double feature.

My double features and DVD / blu ray purchases got me on a watch list long ago.
