Current Movies - Thumbs UP or Thumbs DOWN

I followed by watching a truly likable and gentle movie - a favorite from years ago. "Crazy, Stupid Love.," with Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, and the guy from the office (sorry I am forgetful).

Steve Carell think that's how to spell it. He plays it straight, not wacky at all.

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!!
It is a korean take on class warfare.
 
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 can't imagine the old man and the sea as a movie - is it true to the novel?

I'm going to have to watch it. It's too tempting.

Well, no movie i have seen is as good as the book, but Hemingway apparently makes a cameo apperiance in it somewhere.
When i looked it up, i see that Anthony Quinn starred in another version in 1990.
I know i enjoyed this movie enough to buy the video years ago.
Let me know what you think.
 
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 rarely watch movies so I'm not much help here. Sorry.
