What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Inglorious Basterds . . . again. So well made and a great fantasy of bringing down that horrible crazy dictator. Surprised that Mike Myers played the British general. Love when comedians do dramatic roles. Also discovered Christoph Waltz and throughly enjoyed his performance. And wondering why basterds is misspelled learned that there's actually another move Inglorious Bastards so the name change was needed.

I admit it is slow at the beginning and it does get better.
It is also quite a Dark series and gets overboard at times.
The period background is like 'Mad Men', that adds to the production.
And it's about Chess, which you don't see very often nowadays.

I didn't find it "slow." It just seemed completely unbelievable--not so much the plot but the actions within the scenes. Like, why would tranquilizers allow her to visualize chess games on the ceiling? Logically, it would have the opposite effect; it would dull her senses. And swallowing mouthful of them would no doubt put her in the hospital if it didn't kill her. And some of the other actions were completely absurd. I can only take so much of that kind of thing before I reach my limit and can no longer watch.

The things I mentioned are more the fault of the director than the writers or actors. It's baffling to me that nobody tells these clueless directors that what they're doing is ruining the story and making what could be a decent series pure crap. Maybe people are afraid to speak up, or maybe it just doesn't matter to the masses, as is evidenced by the popularity of series about teenagers with supernatural powers.
 

I watched Breach last week, a sci-fi with Bruce Willis and liked it. Also watched Monster Hunter also good. I also love Gladiator,Spartacus, and Armageddon. The wife and love movie watching at home.
 
Magnificent Seven.

(I don't have anything fancy begond regular ol' DirectTV and the same movies play over and over and over ad nauseam.)
 
"The Gut: Our Second Brain". This is unbelievable information. Totally fascinating. We have an entire eco system inside our gut. The brain and gut are very similar and communicate with each other.

For years, scientists have known about the existence of another brain within our bodies. Our stomach functions totally independently and does far more than digestion. It reigns over a spectacular colony of one hundred thousand billion bacteria that have a strong impact on our personalities. Some diseases of the brain like Parkinson's could stem from the degeneration of intestinal neurons.

The Chinese are coupling acupuncture (around the navel) with hypnosis and having positive results with depression.

Interesting...will have to look for that one!!!!
 
"Philadelphia." One of the saddest movies ever made. But triumphant in the end. Based on a true story.
 
Inherit The Wind- 1960 with a large cast including Spencer Tracy, Gene Kelly, Fredric March, Dick York, etc.

The battle between Tracy's and March's characters in the courtroom makes this a must see movie.

When Tracy's character is asked if he finds anything 'Holy', this is his quote:

" Yes. The individual human mind.
In a child's power to master the multiplication table, there is more sanctity than in all your shouted "amens" and "holy holies" and "hosannas."
An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral.
And the advance of man's knowledge is a greater miracle than all the sticks turned to snakes or the parting of the waters."
