Retired schoolteacher Eloise Parker lives by herself in Massachusetts, but she has a tenant in her barn, Adam Clay, living a quiet life as a beekeeper. One day, Eloise falls for a phishing scam and is robbed of over $2 million, the majority of which belongs to a charity organization she manages. Devastated, she shoots herself dead. Clay finds her body and is immediately arrested by FBI agent Verona Parker, Eloise's daughter. After Eloise's death is ruled a suicide, Clay is released. Verona tells him the group that robbed Eloise has been on the FBI's radar for a while but is difficult to track. Wanting justice for Eloise, Clay contacts the Beekeepers, a mysterious group, to find the scammers responsible. Just released

Thanks for filling me in. Things like that happen a lot now a days thanks to the negative side of the Internet. All ages are affected 😭

Sounds very interesting 😃. Was it on Netflix or Prime or so new else?
 
"Grosse Pointe Blank" (1997) remains a favorite. A sort of romantic dark comedy, very gritty yet nostalgic.

Oh yeah, it also has a cameo by one of the world's cutest babies.

I just watched one episode of 1970's "Affairs of the Heart," each episode an adaptation of a James Henry short story. The one I watched was called "Adela." The main character doesn't want her father to remarry and schemes to sabotage his plans (she is successful). As often happens with his stories, I came away with a kind of "creeped out" vibe... What *is* it about Henry James' writing?? Anyone else have that same impression?
 
The Hunger Games, Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

If Hunger Games was your bag, you'll love this. It closes the loop on a lot of loose edges in 'Games.' As a prequel, it scores big for me.

Picked it up at WalMart Thursday last instead of ordering it online. Good thing too. It comes in two versions. One the more expensive BlueRay and the lesser expensive DVD standard (my choice). Online I'd of probably bought the wrong one. BlueRay does not work for me.

Went and saw THE CHOSEN Episodes 1- 3 with a group of friends at the movies. It was almost 3 1/2 hours long and amazing! The photography was excellent! The music superb! The acting was fantastic! Jesus was mesmerizing. I laughed and cried. I was touched and moved. I have seen many Jesus movies in the past, but this one really touched my heart. It delved deep into the apostle's lives and emotions as well as the scenes with Jesus. The dance by Solome was superb. They had done their research on that time period, including clothing, greetings, culture, etc.

I hope to go see Episodes 4-6 (comes out Feb. 15) and the rest (comes out Feb. 29). Even though it will be available free at some point, I want to show my support. Five stars!

This is also on Prime and there's an Docuseries with Jonathan Roumie called Jonathan and Jesus on Prime.
 
Not a movie, but a series called "Resident Alien" on Netflix (originally on SYFY channel, I think). DH and I find it dark, funny, occasionally grisly, but thoroughly engaging, similar to how "The Sopranos" managed to often be all of those things.
