What I watched today, 1/10/21

Cardboard Boxer (2016) Drama

Gentle and broken, a homeless man is coerced by two teens to fight other men on video for cash but soon finds comfort in an unlikely friend and the lost diary of a young girl.

Two upper middle class punks venture into the homeless “community” and pay them to fight each other. Slow at first but the show improved as it progressed.

Rebel In The Rye (2017) Drama

The life of celebrated but reclusive author, J.D. Salinger, who gained worldwide fame with the publication of his novel, "The Catcher in the Rye".

Liked it.. Perhaps because of his great masterpiece novel which every high school kid in the 50s and 60s read. The book still sells 250,000 copies a year.
 
Cry Wolf on SBS on Demand. Danish with English sub-titles
A 14 year old girl writes an essay at school about her abusive stepfather and all hell breaks loose.
Dedicated social worker Lars (Bjarne Henriksen) is assigned to the case. Convinced by Holly’s story, he places Holly and her seven-year-old brother, Theo, in foster care. However, when central family members including Holly’s stepfather claim that the essay is nothing more than teenage rebellion, Lars’s sense of certainty begins to fray at the edges.

Holly’s parents launch a full-scale legal attack against Lars and their own daughter. Meanwhile, video footage of Lars performing a heavy-handed social services operation is shared on social media, turning private misery into public outrage.

Last movie watched? Where? In a movie theatre? I can't stand watching a movie on a small screen.

So the last movie I watched was Lawrence of Arabia.

Ithica (2015)
Directed by Meg Ryan who also appeared in the flick.

Fourteen-year-old Homer Macauley is determined to be the best and fastest bicycle telegraph messenger anyone has ever seen. His older brother has gone to war, leaving Homer to look after his widowed mother, his older sister and his 4-year-old brother, Ulysses. And so it is that as spring turns to summer, 1942, Homer Macauley delivers messages of love, hope, pain... and death... to the good people of Ithaca. And Homer Macauley will grapple with one message that will change him forever. Based on Pulitzer Prize-winning author William Saroyan's 1943 novel, The Human Comedy, ITHACA is a coming-of-age story about the exuberance of youth, the abruptness of change, the sweetness of life, the sting of death, and the sheer goodness that lives in each and every one of us.

Drama, and I love dramas without all the shoot-'em-up, sex, and other nonsense.

Summer of 42
 
Watched "Honest Thief" yesterday via Netflix DVD the first half is basically a love story the second half is a fair chase'em around shoot'em up.

I tend to like Liam Neeson movies; this one was pretty much average... no sure yet I I will pick up a copy for the movie library.

Enjoy!
 
"Green Book" with the new love of my life Mahershala Ali, who I think won the Oscar for this? Anyway, sublime movie. So interesting, so smooth I didn't fidget once. The popcorn bag helped of course.
Can't recommend this more highly.
 
Not a movie but finally finished binge watching Game of Thrones the last few days. I just wanted to get it over with and done.

I liked the ending but would give the series a score of 5 out of 10
 
last night; I pulled "The Bourne Legacy" from the movie library (not sure now if I had not watched it or just forgotten all of the particulars).

A fair chase movie starring Jeremy Renner instead of Matt Damon.

A large screen TV and good (5.1 or better) stereo sound means that I really don't miss the theater experience much.

Enjoy!
 
Pieces of a Woman. First part may be a little too realistic for some but not logical for real life. When common sense says "don't do that, listen to it."
