What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

O M G...THE weirdest movie EVER..
caught it..the other night..
"The Man who killed Don Quixote" (2018)
 

I watched All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) two nights ago. It was like Saving Private Ryan without the saving Private Ryan plot and set in WWI instead of WWII. Just remove the plot and just leave in all the violence and there you go. It was watchable, though.
 
We watched ‘Wonder.’
It’s a story about a disfigured boy who has to face going to high school and facing all the resistance and hate he feels from others. It’s a nice ‘feel good’ movie.
 

'Don't Look Up'. Although it was supposedly a metaphor for climate change, I can see how it would apply to a lot of things. Look at the Chinese spy balloon. It was joked about, made a meme but I'm sure some of us were screaming, "There's a freaking spy balloon flying over our military installations!!!!"

Also just watched the Netflix 2 part series about Jimmy Savile. I never heard of him so it was all news to me. OMG!
 
"Philomena" - Judy Dench and Steve Coogan. I like them a lot. They're very convincing actors.

It's a true story about a devout "old Irish Catholic woman" who had a child out of wedlock when she was fifteen or something, so her mortified father sent her to a convent where she fell victim to a self-righteous Mother Superior who secretly sold unwed teenage girls' babies and toddlers to American couples over a number of decades. She also let girls as young as 14 die in childbirth; no attending physician or even a professional nurse, no medication and absolutely zero emergency response; because dying was the disgraceful, nasty little girl's pittance.

The movie is based on the 2009 book The Lost Child of Philomena Lee that was written by journalist Martin Sixsmith. The real Sixsmith, played by Coogan, exposed this convent and the Mother Superior which created yet another Catholic Church scandal.

I liked it, but it pissed me off. Martin Sixsmith is a really cool name, though.

I tried watching the movie Nope, but it sucked too bad. I got through about the first 1/2 hour and that was all I could handle. I don't know how it got such a high rating on IMDB.
 
'The Age of Adaline.'
Very slow, then there was a twist and it was good for ten minutes. Then slow.
I wouldn't recommend it.
Harrison Ford was the only thing good in this movie...for about ten minutes.

Tender Mercies 1983. Robert Duvall.
I hadn't seen the movie in 40 years so it was like watching it for the first time.

Good movie! Strangely enough I remember movies I saw 40 years ago but forget all about the ones I watched recently! It's a plus, I am not complaining, I can read books I bought a couple of years ago all over again. Same with movies and shows! :)
 
I watched Top Gun last night (the new one). It was surprisingly good! It would have been better with someone else in the leading role, but I can understand why they went with Tom Cruise. It must have cost a fortune to make that movie and they needed a guaranteed box office draw.

The mission kind of reminded me of Israel's Operation Opera where they bombed Iraq's nuclear facility. I'm wondering if that was their inspiration.
