Current Movies - Thumbs UP or Thumbs DOWN

[drumstick diva]

Gee, then you've missed some very, very good movies.

There was an article in this week's TIME magazine about Logan, mainly about child assassins in cinema. The reviewer listed several other movies of, err, "youthful indiscretion" and the body count in each film. He said with Logan he got inured and lost count after 30 or so.

Hopefully the kids in attendance won't subconsciously retain what they've been exposed to.....

I think parents don't want to shell out for a baby sitter.

I rarely go to the pictures any more, but I watch on DVD or TV. I find it hard to concentrate on movies, so if I manage to sit through one, I put it down as a good one. LOL

Most of the movies I watch aren't "current" any more. I recently watched "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" with Ben Stiller. I liked it, it held my attention. I watched the remake of King Kong with Jack Black and Naomi Watts. I wasn't that keen on seeing it, thought they'd have "messed up" the original by trying to be clever, but I thought it was pretty good, if a bit long. Poor old Kong, so sad.

Me neither, watched Red and Red2 yesterday - love Bruce W I know he is not great actor but he definitely has something and I like Helen Mirren think she is cool, wished I had that coat of hers plus the guns lol

Watched a Redbox DVD this weekend, "Transpecos." It is a Border Patrol story and far, far easier to watch than "Soccario." (sp)

Good story and well-acted, a couple of twists to keep you engaged. I recognized it was filmed in New Mexico even before the credits rolled as you cannot mistake the Organ Mountains.

(Game I play is trying to figure out where the movies were filmed by the topography.)

Just watched the first episode of 'Frontier' on NetFlix, chronicling the North American fur trade of the 1700s. Follows a part-Irish, part-Native American outlaw who is campaigning to breach the Hudson's Bay Company's monopoly on the fur trade. Looks pretty good so far, reviews are mixed, looks like the critics don't like it but the viewers do. I never trust the critics anyway, their tastes and mine are not always the same Lol!
I find it particularly interesting after recently reading that my family was involved in the fur trade business during the time period, just read this in a book on our family genealogy;

"His three sons migrated southward through to the Catskill Mountains in New York State. Family tradition records that the
three sons were "tanners" and entered the mountains in search for hemlock, then used in the
tanning process. Evidently by the they settled in the valley of the West Kill,
started to clear the land and built a log cabin in which the women and the smaller children
lived during the winter while the men and older boys stayed in caves nearby."

Lived in caves.... Lol! dang uncivilized barbarians

Aha! So that is where the term "man cave," comes from.

Wow Diva! I'd never thought of that!
I'm going to have to steal your comment if you don't mind...

, for a Fbook post, doubt most of my family ever read that even though my grandma had the books forever.
I'm off to watch the second episode right now

sure you can steal it - just don't take my ice cream
