Spotlight- has to do with the cover up of priests molesting kids.True story

45 Years- love the actress,sad and depressing story,kinda makes you think about life.
 

The book thief was on our TV last night I watched about an hour of it and feel asleep ,it looked like it was kinda sad ..right from the start ..We have it on DVD so considering it's going to be way to hot to do anything outside today ( forecast 40c ,we had almost 30 c overnight temp) I may watch movie today
 
Between chores, reading, everything including needing closed captioning. The last movie in a theater was " Funny People", the last at home was "The Hurt Locker". It would take me years to catch up on what I haven't seen.

We saw Book Thief at the cinema and I watched it again on a flight. Keep Kleenex handy. Good movie but the book was better, as usual.
 
Re-watched Boondock Saints this evening. I was stoked when I heard the sequel was in production, and was SO disappointed in it. Troy Duffy could have built a huge BD franchise. Truly a missed opportunity. Heard a 3rd film is in the works. Duffy's Saints will have to perform a miracle before I'll go see that one.
 
The other night we watched the movie "Tracks" on Netflix. The true story of Robyn Davidson and her 1977 trek across the Australian outback desert with her four camels and a dog. Amazing adventure. Recently we also watched and thoroughly enjoyed a documentary called "Mile...Mile & a Half". Follows a group of artists who hike the 219 mile John Muir Trail from Yosemite to Mt. Whitney. Highly recommend it, if only for the scenic beauty. One of the goals here was to capture the beauty and ruggedness of this hike and they really succeed. It's also on Netflix.

I watched the book thief not long ago, it was sad,but an excellent movie. I've seen quite a few movies, unless I list them weekly I forget most of the titles, I saw spy a fee weeks back along with some sci-fi movie which featured Harrison Ford, today, I watched trainwreck oh and last week I watched riddick.

I'll be see more movies at the theatre in the coming months vs just DVD, I enjoy the big action movies when they hit the big screen for spring and summer.

April I only got around to watching the book thief last night it was like you said sad but very good ..and more than likely fairly true of the war years ...I thought I'd look up the girls name who played the main part and look out for her in any new movies she is such a pretty girl .

The young actress, Sophia Nelisse, a very pretty and talented young lady indeed, but, I've not seen any of her other work, it would take some work to obtain the other films she's done being they're primarily foreign films and I get most of my dvds from my library.

Ride along, I watched it back in January, after one of my friends kept talking about how funny it was; she was right. It was quite funny. I'm looking forward to seeing the second one.

You all are sparking my memory, I watch movies most every week,but, I quickly forget titles.
 
"Shaolin Drunk Monkey"

The touching tale (based on a true story) of the last remaining monkey in the ancient Shaolin temples. The Masters try their best but cannot break little Flung-Poo's habit of drinking the Temple wine, becoming soused and smashing everything in sight.

When the evil warlord Chung-King and his minions attempt to overthrow the temple, Flung-Poo proves his worth by defending his brothers with his unique Drunk Monkey style.

Stars: Elton Chong as "Master Martini", Eagle Hands Han as "Disciple Dubonnet" and Kwak Kwak Duk as "Chung King". Missy the Marvel Monkey turns in a stunning performance as "Flung-Poo".
