What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

I binge watched the final three out of four episodes of Specter this evening. It was a fascinating and sad documentary series about the life of Phil Specter. He achieved great things in his life, but his mother and her abuse screwed him up royally.

I'm going to see if there's a biography about him at the library.
 

"Eight Below" from Walt Disney. I watched it a few years ago and liked it then, so I sent for it from (where else?) Amazon. It's a good movie based on a true story. Those types of movies are the best kind.

Godzilla 3-D that killed my movie theater budget forever. I paid $17 dollars to see a garbage pile of broken promises. 3-D my butt! Only the crowds were such, none of the monsters!

The best part of the film, was the stars flying out into the audiences, leading me to believe I was in for a good show. How tragically wrong I was, my review was very simple.

"I expected a 3-D movie with monsters, I couldn't get a refund, that's how bad it is, you'll regret buying a ticket"
 
I watched the Credence Clearwater Revival documentary and concert this evening.

The sound quality was really good but the video quality could have been better. They should have used the technology used in restoring the Beatles Let it be footage. Other than that, it was enjoyable.
 
Last night I watched 2 movies on Prime.

The Magic of Belle Isle and Elsa and Fred.

Both were very good! Morgan Freeman stars in the first and is wonderful.

Shirley Maclaine and Christopher Plummer star in the second and are fantastic. Good stories, too.

@Pecos I think you would enjoy these movies. They are on Prime Videos.
 
Victoria and Her Mystery on Netflix. A really good story about a young girl who lost her mother and is traumatized. She is given what she thinks is a dog that turns out to be a wolf.

The father and daughter go through a lot wanting to keep this gentle wolf. There are very sad parts but it gets better.
 
“Cry Macho” and “Absolute Power.” Both Eastwood movies. My niece said I “must” watch “Absolute Power.” So to please her, we did. I gave it a solid B rating. She had just watched the movies on the plane coming here, but she said she wanted to make sure that I watched “Absolute Power” so she was willing to sit through it again.
 
He Walked By Night: Savage! Searing! TRUE!!!

That was kind of fun. Starring a young Jack Webb of Dragnet fame.
 
The last movie I finished was The Curse of Bridge Hollow (Netflix) and am currently in the process of watching Slumberland (Netflix). I don't usually watch an entire movie in one sitting.
 
Recently watched "Awakenings" movie with Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro - about children that got encephalitis lethargic during the early 1900s and lived in catatonic states for decades until a doctor (Robin Williams) came along and discovered that L-Dopa could help them, and DeNiro was one of the patients. Beautiful and bittersweet true movie.

On Amazon Prime Video - Watched "The Water Boy" with Adam Sandler and Henry Winkler - hilarious movie! Couldn't stop laughing. About a water boy (Adam Sandler) who was a country boy close to his mama and was ridiculed, and he ended up playing college football and helping his team succeed. There was a hint of Beverly Hillbillies' type humor.
 
The Stranger, on Netflix. It's based on the non-fiction book The Sting: The Undercover Operation That Caught Daniel Morcombe's Killer.

I remember that case, and how disgusting and weird Daniel Morcombe was. Fortunately, greed and his ego made him take the risks that finally got him caught. That part was delicious.

Good movie! And really well-acted. Sean Harris, the actor who played Morcombe, was a dead-ringer for that POS...his mannerisms, voice, expressions, every detail. So well done.
