What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Anybody watched Amazon's "Night Sky" with Sissy Spacek and JK Simmons? I like it, kind of (good acting) but cant quite figure out what's supposed to be happening... lots of story lines that (I guess) will come together in the end. Is it worth watching all of it?

i watched first episode last night. Will take a couple more episodes to decide. Tho i like the 'portal' to another world (or time?) concept.
 
I saw The Matrix Resurrections recently. It‘s been 18 years since the last of the Matrix films was made, and unless you have seen the previous ones, this revival film will make little sense whatsoever. I found the movie disappointing, although it was good to see Neo and Trinity together again, and Keanu Reeves still sports sunglasses and a black cape well…

"Never Say Die" - with Bob Hope, Martha Raye, Andy Devine​

This is one of my favorite Bob Hope comedies, and also starred Martha Raye, who was really in sync with his easy-going spontaneous acting style. The screenplay has a foolproof concept – a hypochondriac millionaire (Hope) gets test results from a dog that erroneously tells him he only has a month to live – multiplied by the fact that one of the screenwriters was Preston Sturges. It’s that ilk of silly 1930s comedy that didn’t take itself too seriously, and wasn’t designed as an “A-list” movie for the ages - which is why it's so lighthearted and silly - but fun! BUT it has excellent pedigree, and is fun from beginning to end. This is one of those films that you sense that all the actors – Hope, Raye, Andy Devine, Gale Sondergaard, Alan Mobray – all enjoyed themselves. It was originally supposed to star Jack Benny with an unknown actress - and it's one of those cases that you can't imagine anyone but Bob and Martha, who bring their total madcap silliness, abetted by Andy Devine and company in fine form.

Did a double feature in comfort of my living room. Rewatched Identity yhen watched Delivering Milo. First movie of Anton Yelchin, a good who died way to young. Here's the IMDb page. Tho released about 2001 it reminded my of the old 'Mr. Jordan' movies.

I love the movie Identity. I also loved Anton Yelchin, he was also great in Charlie Bartlett and Odd Thomas.

Well, just as an update, I'm 2/3's of the way through the eight episodes available on Amazon Prime of "Night Sky" No matter what the outcome is, I've very much enjoyed the show, the acting and interesting scenery from different countries. Not usually a fan of Amazon Originals, but I think this is a good one. @feywon, would love to hear your thoughts =)
 
The Shootist, starring John Wayne, Lauren Bacall, Ron Howard, James Stewart, and a few other big name stars. This was the best John Wayne movie I've ever seen.
