What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

This below performance by Nicholas Cage in this intense hilarious clip ought to wake anyone up, half asleep. What it leaves out just beyond the end of the short clip, is what Eddie was going to do to Coburn that Biehn suddenly appearing jumping through a window turns the tables on Eddie so during a wrestling sequence beside a huge boiling oil frying vat it is Eddie that provides an opportunity for the effects person to shows what a person head and face might look like lobsterized if so face end dunked.

Particular liked cigar smoking Coburn that had a natural ability to portray powerful smiling nasty dudes.

Watched "The Last Bus" on YouTube yesterday. A sweet movie set in Scotland about an elderly man on a mission and the bus trip he takes to fulfill a final promise. Extraordinary performance by Timothy Spall.

I agree. Spall is a great actor, able to play any type of part. I really enjoyed him in Mr. Turner (2014) about the legendary English painter, J.M.W. Turner.

Last night I watched The Descendants with George Clooney. The story of a man who'd mostly checked out of the day-to-day of raising his 10 & 17 year old daughters until his wife went into a coma after a boating accident. Set in gorgeous Hawaii.

I quite liked it. I can't say if it's streaming anywhere because I checked the DVD out of my library.

I've seen that. It was really good. :)
 
The Trial of the Chicago 7 - 2020 (Netflix)

Being 16 and 4,254 miles from Chicago, I remember getting soundbites on the national news.
Since I couldn't vote, this wasn't something I paid a lot of attention to.
I've read more about what happened, years later.

Watching the movie at 72, brought home the level of divide in our country during the late 60's.

I enjoyed the movie very much and any further comments might get me a 'timeout', so I'll leave it at that.
 
I discovered I had this movie in the house.
I've only attended a movie alone a couple times and this was one of the films.
I loved it.
"Two men reaching middle age with not much to show but disappointment embark on a week-long road trip through California's wine country, just as one is about to take a trip down the aisle."

Paul Giamatti & Thomas Hayden Church

Another beautiful movie.
Rémi sans famille - Remi - Nobody's Boy
The story is based on the French author Hector Malot's novel Sans Famille.

Rémi is a young boy found abandoned at a church as a baby.
The boy grew up happily with his mother, but difficulties came when his father had an accident and was sued.
Rémi was tried to be taken to an orphanage by his father when they met with a former violinist named Vitalis, a street performer with a monkey, Joli-Coeur, and a dog, Capi.
Vitalis discovered Rémi's singing talent and offered to take the boy under his wing to escape the orphanage. Their adventure begins...
A joy to watch.

I'm your age and watched that movie when it was released. Agree it was excellent, particularly because I was also minimally engaged in politics at that time. Hated Nixon and the Vietnam war, but nuanced politics were lost on me.
