Current Movies - Thumbs UP or Thumbs DOWN

[rebrascora]

@rebrascora , thanks. That was on our 'maybe' list, and has now been eliminated.

Pleased I was able to save u from wasting some time and money.... makes me feel a little better about wasting 3+ hrs of my life (taking into account travelling time and the film) if I can at least save a little of someone else's as a result!

Thank you immensely - that's what this thread is for.

Today we saw "A Dog's Way Home". I found it unrealistic, but 'okay'. The Princess cried. She gives it a 2.5, and I will go 2. Not horrible, but do not go out of your way to see this one.

I knew it Sour. They only film stuff like that to make the audience cry.

Are you going to see the one about the British Soldiers ? It's only 99 minutes long. Should be half price. I'm just about OUT of movie gift amount. Hope I get a new card for Valentine's Day. I won't ask for it. But if son asks if I went to any movie, I will have to say "out of gift card money." and Sigh deeply. I'll also try with my brother. Sometimes it works because he loves going to movies.

Otherwise one of those real small Snoopy heart shaped boxes for a $ 1.00 or so (with crummy brand candy) would do fine. If no one sees me, I will buy one for myself. Love that Snoopy.

OK. I recently visited Paris, France and on the way home due to pick pocket incident of my phone from my person was forced to watch airplane movies. So here are some thoughts and drumstick diva's thread is too long to know if mentioned prior.

So here goes:
Crazy Rich Asians: Too much profanity, maybe ok for young girls but not good example due to language. Goal to wipe out girl snarky behavior and remove discrimination among women of culture, ethnicity.

The Wife: Again profanity but less. Insightful for the persona. What happened to all the happy endings? you will be singing at the end.

Clara and I: Ok but not the ending you think.

At home husband forced me to watch: Lady Gaga A Star is Born. Save your money. All profanity and no substance despite awards received and up for.

At home cuz wanted clean comedy:

A Midnight in Paris: Clean funny Owen Wilson. Reminiscent of St. Germain in Paris. Yes saw all those places in person. Yes, in Paris you will be inspired by the greats to write and produce fantastic things because that is what the artist district is for. Yes, that district looks the same still today as in the 2011 Movie minus the actual ghost from the past. I think Hollywood should have wrote the girlfriend into the midnight escape with Owen her fiancee displaying a funny night out for both to remember while supporting her fiancee to write his best novel. Still a good movie. Maybe be inspired to write for the BYC article contest?

I would like to see A Dog's Way Home and maybe Arctic? Anyone see Arctic?

Melky thank you for your reviews. Thread is getting long but the most recent movies are towards the end.

Today we saw "Stan and Ollie" a story about the relationship between Laurel and Hardy. Well portrayed and interesting - we both liked this show. We give a pair of 3.5's.

 

[drumstick diva]

thank you Sour.

I was hoping to go and see Stan and Ollie last week but it was showing at 6.20 pm and I couldn't get animals and chucks sorted, get washed and changed and travel to the cinema in time. It was our preferred choice of film a fortnight ago when we ended up seeing that shockingly bad film, The Favourite, again because I couldn't get myself there in time.

From the trailer, the actors have their mannerisms down to a T and since they were a staple TV favourite when I was a child I am looking forward to a bit of nostalgia when I see it. I believe that Stan was from this part of the world originally too, so there is a local interest.
Thanks for the positive review.
