What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

A lot of cussing and pain. I forgot the name. it was on Starz Live. I lose interest and all the cussing, it's like dust in the wind.
Sure, I can hear it, but I am not in the presence of the evil hate it pushes out of the speakers. I am good but then is shut Starz down.

Tin Man (TV Mini Series 2007) ⭐ 7.0 | Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi

It's too long but it is an interesting story.
A good cast.

Tin Man is a 2007 American television miniseries co-produced by RHI Entertainment and the Sci Fi Channel that was broadcast first in the United States on the Sci Fi Channel in three parts. Starring Zooey Deschanel, Neal McDonough, Alan Cumming, Raoul Trujillo, Kathleen Robertson, and Richard Dreyfuss, the miniseries is a reimagining of the classic 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, with science fiction and additional fantasy elements added. It focuses on the adventures of a small-town waitress named DG who is pulled into a magical realm called the O.Z., ruled by the tyrannical sorceress Azkadellia. Together with her companions Glitch, Raw, and Cain, DG journeys to uncover her memories, find lost connections, and foil Azkadellia's plot to trap the O.Z. in eternal darkness.

I sat through Tin Man because I really liked Neal McDonough. But parts of it were painful to watch due to Zooey Deschanel, who I came to realize is the worst actress I've ever seen! 😒
 

Franco Zeffirelli's "Romeo and Juliet" (1968). It's been decades since I first watched it. I watched it again last night. It is a beautifully acted and deeply moving film, gorgeous and sumptuous, with a delicate score and exquisite, Oscar-winning costumes and cinematography. Starring Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey. They are magnificent.

I watched Spaceman, starring Adam Sandler in a dramatic role. It dropped on Netflix a couple days ago and I was really looking forward to it because Adam Sandler can do drama.

What a disappointment. Ugh. Sandler's performance couldn't have been more flat. It was like watching a dead person sort of move and talk a little bit....sort of. A string puppet could have conveyed more emotion and connected better with the viewer.

I knew the creature was going to be very, um...different from the usual, and I was ok with that. I figured there'd be a reason for it.

None given.

There were no reasons given for any of the things that happened in this story. No reason given for this purple thing to suddenly appear in the sky, no reason given for investigating it, no reason for why the creature was ...what it was... or for the divorce or the walk in a creek or the single-mothers home...

Even the climax was just a huge, flat, purple "Whaaat?"

And every single character was a complacent, hollow dud. Every one. No one performed. There was zero acting, just several people and one bad decision walking around with blank faces, speaking in monotone....signifying nothing.
 
I also viewed Spaceman, had eagerly anticipated it, and was enormously disappointed. Adam Sandler’s acting was curiously flat and devoid of passion, even when dealing with his “relationship problems,” about which there was excessive emphasis, and we really are not led to even really care about them! There were enormous holes in the plot, and things left unexplained.

The movie could have better focused upon Hanus, the space spider, and the only intriguing element in this movie. It could have been a good “first contact” movie. But by all means, avoid this movie if you are an arachnophobe…

I have never cared for any of his movies. I know he's popular, but, well, not for me. I've gotten to the point where if I see his name I just move on.

I've never liked him (Clooney) much either but I think he did a really good job directing The Boys in the Boat (2023; 2 hr.3min.; we watched it on xFinity On Demand). The documentary film of the same name about the same subject was also good; I don't mean the short documentary that came out in 2018; there was another, full-length documentary that we watched on Netflix but I can't find it now.
 
I posted Wolf Lake recently no one responded. It’s about a Vietnam War deserter and 4 former soldiers who hunt the deserter and his girlfriend. Questionable patriotic motives over a fallen son and the ethics of revenge.
