Current Movies - Thumbs UP or Thumbs DOWN

[drumstick diva]

I'm still ticked with this virus - Keanu Reeves had two of his best characters due to be out in Early 2021 - John Wick and Matrix 4. New "Stranger Things" season 4 was supposed to start filming in NM. Don't think that's likely.

I see quite a few movies a year, while critic's reviews are okay I prefer the opinions of friends/family. This thread is not meant to be a critique but, a poster's personal opinion. PLEASE do not include spoilers and definitely no pornographic films. I think we will be fine if we just start with titles and ratings if known ie., PG, PG-13. R etc.

SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK (R) big thumbs UP
Excellent performances and cast. Saw it twice.

SIDE EFFECTS (R) thumbs UP
ditto.
Saw it twice.

WARM BODIES (PG-13) thumbs UP
Funny,sweet, NOT your usual zombie movie.
Hope to see it again - I smiled all the way home.

You are welcome to offer your opinions on these movies IF you have seen them, and please list any other movies.

I'm a fan of silverlinings. Great Flick

Me too, I love that movie, didn't think Jennifer Lawrence could pull that off. All the actors were great.

Really Cary Elwes, who did he play on "Stranger Things?"

Wikipedia says he plays mayor kline in 5 episodes

I'll have to go back and look ron. If I remember the mayor - yuck(not nice I know) he wasn't worth looking at, I never would have believed it was the guy from Princess Bride. But then I sure don't look like the little cutie I once was.

What I did come on now to say was - at $ 1.00 Tree I found 2 good DVD - Blue Ray "Ides of March" with Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei. Very good movie- I saw it years ago at the show.

Plus got the 2nd. Hunger Games movie $ 1, "Catching Fire." again I've seen that at the show but with my bad memory, everything old is new again. Just can't watch and do BYC at the same time . BYC always wins.

Years ago I found a good movie($1 tree again) "Enough Said," with Julie Louis-Dreyfus (NOT acting like her idiot performance on Seinfeld.) with the late James Gandolfini. Very, very good movie.

There were others ones at $1 tree but scary stuff - I don't need that and some kids movies.

I'll have to pop in on a more regular basis and see if they have more movies. I know Walmart has a $ 5. bin but the not anything I would take even if free.

Tomorrow my brother is taking me shopping for him/out for lunch/ both us in his area. Gee I can pop in his $ tree and see if they have any movies. If I could find "Princess Bride" for $ 1. I would snap it up. Really loved that movie.

So with this stay at home order, i find myself looking on Netflix and Amazon prime for entertainment.
I have started watching HOUSE from the beginning, but wanted something diferent.So nothing was on so i went downstairs where we have loads of old video tapes and i found ARSENIC & OLD LACE with Cary Grant. Also i brought up OLD MAN AND THE SEA with Spencer Tracy and TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE with Humrey Bogart.
New movies are sometime a waste of time, but these old classics will never go bad.

I watched "Rebel Without A Cause" the other week. Great fun to watch them chew up the scenery.

My son and his girlfriend just watched "Parasite" which won the Oscar(I guess) for best picture. I watched it last night.

WARNING HUGE SPOILER; don't read further unless you really want to.





The movie wasn't terrible but, I did not like it. It ends with the most horrific blood bath I have ever seen in a movie. I am still trying to figure out why!!
