What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Taking Lives
Starring Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke, Kiefer Sutherland
A murder spree in Montreal, with the killer embracing his victims' identities, leads to an investigation by the FBI agent Illeana Scott.
Watchable with a twist at the end
 

Annie. What a cute movie! I got a little misty eyed a couple of times. This is one I'd watch again at some point. Found out Jamie Foxx can also sing a few years ago. The little girl (now 20) played by Quvenzhané Wallis. has a nice voice too. She's listed as an author and actor on Wiki, not a singer. During her young years she's been nominated for and won several awards. The most prestigious nomination is mentioned in this Wiki paragraph:
"On January 10, 2013, at age nine, Wallis was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Wallis, who was 6 when she filmed Beasts of the Southern Wild, is the all-time youngest nominee for Best Actress and the third-youngest nominee in any category.[14][15] Wallis is the first African-American child actor and the first person born in the 21st century to earn an Oscar nomination."

Ooh; thanks for the heads-up! That one is on my watchlist, but I may rethink it now. I don't care for violent movies. Life is stressful enough.

The only reason I kept watching it was I really wanted to know how it ended. Now I’m watching some sappy hallmark love story to get the violence out of my mind before bedtime. Half the time I had my eyes closed. Lol

I do that, too. :) Otherwise, the material seeps into my dreams. After I watched The Zone of Interest a few nights ago, I watched a few episodes of The Simpsons to sort of re-set my mind.
 
I found Jesse Stone: Lost in Paradise on the Roku channel and finished watching the entire movie today. That's a rarity for me. But it was in the "leaving soon" section and didn't give an expiration date. It was the 9th and last of the franchise and the only one I haven't seen. I bought the 2 DVD set of 8 films a few years ago.

 
49th Parallel

When a Nazi U-boat crew, headed by the ruthless Eric Portman, is stranded in Canada during the thick of World War II, the men evade capture by hiding out in a series of rural communities, before trying to cross the border into the still-neutral United States. 49th Parallel features a colorful cast of characters played by Laurence Olivier, Raymond Massey, Anton Walbrook, and Leslie Howard.

A great movie to watch is called Arthur the King.( I cried )

Desperate for one last chance to win, Michael Light convinces a sponsor to back him and a team of athletes for the Adventure Racing

Arthur the King is based on the true story
of Mikael Lindnord and the dog he found while racing in Ecuador. While the film took heavy inspiration from this story, it is not the exact events that took place.

FYI for fans of the Beverly Hills Cop series: Eddie Murphy has finally made another movie in the series and it is being released on Netflix for streaming on July 3, 2024. Hard to believe the first movie was released 40 years ago!

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
Plot: Axel Foley has returned to Beverly Hills after his daughter Jane's life is threatened. She and Axel team up with her ex-boyfriend and his old pals, John Taggart and Billy Rosewood, to uncover a conspiracy.

EM's quote from the article:
"... We’ve been trying to develop another “Beverly Hills Cop” since ’96. The one we did in ’94, I didn’t think the movie came out good. There’s been 10 different scripts and a bunch of different producers, and we just tried for years and years, and it wouldn’t come together until we got Jerry [Bruckheimer] back involved, the original producer. Jerry, he understood it the most because it’s his movie, and it all came together. "

NYT did an interview with Murphy and it was an enjoyable read. He's very different than what you'd expect (but then, aren't we all in our senior years, LOL!):

I went to see Inside Out 2. It was okay, but it didn't really have much to do with Puberty, and I felt like the appeal would be more limited to children than Inside Out 1 had been. I chuckle when I think of the Nostalgia scenes, but that was only a couple seconds of the movie.

I'm eager to see Inside Out 3, maybe the next one will really address puberty. The last scene in Inside Out 1 with the boy's brain was really funny, so I'm hoping for more of that.

The Iron Claw on Max about the pro wrestling Von Erich family. I absolutely loved it. Highly recommend, especially if you know the crazy world of this "sport" and enjoy all it's mad antics. When my son young he was into pro wrestling and I watched with him and followed all the drama. One summer, son in a bowling league that invited pros for talks, etc. Met many pros, it was fun, and they all seem like really great people.

"Astrologist Hilary Cummins (Peter Lorre) works as a personal assistant to the eccentric and mostly paralyzed pianist, Francis Ingram (Victor Francen). A nurse, Julie Holden (Andrea King) also lives at the Italian villa to help care for Ingram, who plays the piano with only his undamaged left hand. Following a visit from a scam artist (Robert Alda), Ingram crashes down the stairs to his death -- and a plague of bizarre events ensues that are attributed to the musician's disembodied left hand."

Looks like fun! Always enjoyed Peter Lorre.
