Current Movies - Thumbs UP or Thumbs DOWN

Sour is that the movie, that takes place in one room? It sounds much better than "Deadpool." We are supposed to have SEVERAL inches of snow Sumday & misc. precipitation- you know how that goes. Have to wait and see. I am the designated shoveler.

It's the story of a girl kidnapped and impregnated by her kidnapper and how she and her son escape and handle their assimilation back into society. I did not want to see this movie simply because of the story line, but it was a really intense film. The kid was flat out awesome in his performance.

Sounds legitimately Oscar worthy.

Apparently the 'mother' has gotten a Golden Globes award for her role. How do you put a 6 year old kid up for a 'best actor' award? The kid is that good.

Did young Patty Duke get one for "Helen Keller?"

The film was actually called The Miracle Worker. Anne Bancroft who played Helen Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, won the Oscar for best actress and Patty Duke won the best supporting actress Oscar.

Just wondering if anyone here has watched Person of Interest starring Jim Caviezel. On the advice of a friend, my wife and I just watched the first two episodes of season 1 on netflix and it's quite an interesting show (at least so far).

Yes, I used to watch it faithfully and loved it. But, it later got to a part where too many characters were added - whereas Reece used to do the major stuff himself.

Thanks for the review. ) I've always like Jim Caviezel in the movies I've seen him in such as Frequency, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Passion of the Christ, Outlander, etc.

Did anyone by any chance happen to go see Pride and Pejudice and Zombies this weekend. I'm just curious as I love Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice, especially the BBC version with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth, and therefore have a morbid interest in the movie with the addition of the zombies (although I'm not normally a fan of zombie movies).

Saw it a few days ago. It was basically Pride And Prejudice with lots of fighting zombies and hacking at them (zombies). Lily James was great, as she always is. The guy who played Darcy was good. It was well made, in my option.
If you like zombies, Go see it. Just be warned, LOTS OF HACKING AT ZOMBIES
