What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

I saw the most horrible stupid movie last night on HBO--'The Empty Man'. I'm ashamed that I didn't have the energy to use the remote to turn it off. I watched the whole awful thing. Supposedly a thriller, this is the most convoluted dumb trash I've ever seen.

Worse than 'Fat City' and 'Barry Lyndon'. I will never insult those two again. The worst, Empty Man worst. 🤮

IMHO, Barry Lyndon is one of the finest films ever made! 😀
 

If we get bored with Netflix and Prime, we get into our "archived" movies on DVD (we still have some VCR tapes but now we can't play them any more...haha) and we have been Star Wars fans since they came out in 1977, so we'll start at the beginning (Episode I) and every night play through the series. I think there's 9. We also will play the Daniel Craig 007 movies we have and the 3 Star Trek newer movies. Then there's the Jason Bourne series and if we go back far enough in our DVD archive, we play Indiana Jones series. We have The Great Wall and The Martian with Matt Damon and just for fun, Six Days Seven Nights...plus a ton of other favorites.

We don't watch any TV (because it's junk) so when you watch a movie every night, you can go through a lot of movies over the years :)

ms gamboolgal and I watched the latest Godzilla vs Kong iteration.
I have been watching these since I was kid and remember watching the rubber Godzilla's.... after adjusting the Tin Foil on the Rabbit Ears or Coat Hangers just right.... ha

It was OK, not great but not a Dud....
On a scale of 1 to 10.... a 5


For grins....

Sometimes I get in the mood for a good Godzilla movie. I think this stems from good memories of going to see Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, etc. at one of the local movie theaters. We could walk to it. I don't have a lot of good memories from my childhood but going to see those monster movies were among them.

Hubs and I quite liked it. Thanks again for the recommendation.

Turned on "Mother's Day" on Netflix (directed by Garry Marshall, starring Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Julia Roberts and more). Gave it a half hour and had to shut it off - both he and I found it so stupid that it was unwatchable.

I'm glad you and your husband enjoyed the movie. Mother's Day is something I would have been interested in, so glad I didn't waste my time trying to check it out. I have another Prime recommendation for you: Sinbad: Where U Been?....It's hilarious! Sometimes just his facial expressions will crack you up. He had the audience in stitches. One thing I love about him (besides being easy on the eyes) is he does not use foul language in his act. So if you want to have a feel good experience, check it out. I didn't watch the entire thing at once. I broke it up into three sittings. I do that with all movies due to my ADD.

In fact, in response to the OP: Right now I'm watching these Amazon Prime movies: Without Remorse and The Tomorrow War. I'll watch a little of each one when the mood hits me. Hope to finish both this week though. I tried to watch Army of the Dead (David Bautista) on Netflix but it was just ridiculously gory. 😱😨🤮

We were going to watch Without Remorse but the reviews were bad so we didn't waste our time. We did watch The Tomorrow War but was disappointed in it. There was so much hype for several months that we were anxious to see it only we were bored with it.
 
I recently revisited Tyler Perry’s 2016 movie Boo: A Madea Halloween. I love his Madea character and Halloween, and his spoofing of horror traditions makes this a memorable and hilarious flick...

Sinbad lives quite near a close friend. She said he's a great guy, terrific neighbor and wonderful with kids. I'll definitely look into this special, thanks so much!

I don't watch gory or violent movies. Their imagery and subject matter are too disturbing.

Take Me To The River (2014) Free Rating 6.9​

This Documentary caught my full attention. Description...

“Take Me To The River” is a feature documentary and record celebrating the inter-generational, inter-racial, inter-gender musical influence of of Memphis in the face of pervasive discrimination and segregation. The film brings multiple generations of award-winning Memphis and Mississippi Delta musicians together, following them through the creative process of recording a new album, to re-imagine the utopia of racial, gender, and generational collaboration of Memphis in its heyday. Hip-hop artists such as Snoop Dogg, PNut, Hustle & Flow’s Oscar-winning Frayser Boy, Al Kapone and Yo Gotti are paired with Grammy-winning legends of Memphis soul and R&B, including Mavis Staples, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Booker T. Jones, Charlie Musselwhite, Bobby Rush, WIlliam Bell, Otis Clay, and the incomparable session musicians of Stax and Hi Records. Oscar nominee Terrence Howard is our “MC” through the story as well as one of our recording artists.

This film describes in comprehensive means how the Mississippi Delta Blues/Rhythm & Blues influenced the music of the 50's and 60's. I grew up playing guitar near San Fransisco. I learned to play from listening to this music by ear. ( It was the roots that I built my style of playing on that made me some $, and became my favorite occupation. ) We had jam sessions at least once a week. I loved it back then. It didn't matter what color you were as long as you could get into the music. The Hammond B-3 with it's twirling treble horn, really soulful beats, and a musical language that all the players knew and felt deeply was the milieu.
The kicker is when Carlie Musselwhite appears. A year before I was drafted, I met a Harp ( Blues Harmonica ) player who learned from Charlie. I played with him in several venues, and jam sessions. We went to see him play near where we lived, in Palo Alto in 1970. What memories! :) Here is a poster of a Musslewhite at Palo Alto that year.

"The Messenger" 7.1 Free​


The job these two military officer's are assigned is to personally deliver the official notice of the death in "battle" to the nearest of kin.
Official Notice states :

“The Secretary of the Army has asked me to express his deep regret that your (relationship; son, Robert or husband, Edward; etc.) (died/was killed in action) in (country/state) on (date).

From the darkness there comes a great light and a great hope. Beautifully heartfelt, THE MESSENGER is seeded with unspoken truth, resulting in a dramatic tour de force film with an enlightening and uplifting script, focusing on the fragility and resiliency of the human condition.

The Messenger
 
For the very first time I watched 1956's postwar classic, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit with Gregory Peck and Jennifer Jones.

Night before last I watched The Sting.

Two excellent movies. Both DVDs were borrowed from the library.
 
Determination of Death
This is a really good movie about a woman and her abusive husband who plan to fake his death
for the insurance money, but their plan goes awry. Click "Watch on Youtube" to get to the movie.

Shirley Valentine
A woman who feels lost in life takes a two week vacation to Greece to try and find herself.

We just watched Phone Booth (Amazon Prime), starring Colin Farrell, Forrest Whitaker, and Kiefer Southerland.

That was pretty entertaining considering most of it takes place in and around a single phone booth in Manhattan. The outstanding performance by Farrell makes the movie worth watching.

I agree with the IMDB rating of 7.0.
 
We watched Blood Red Sky on Netflix
It was OK for a Vampire type genre, but we thought it had potential to be much better
Having said that it was OK, not a Dud - OK
Give it a 6 out of 10

 
We bought the 3rd Conjuring movie installment
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

ms gamboolgal loves these type shows. They scare me and this one did that.

Give it 7 ish.... out of 10 and do recommend.

 
Solo, a Star Wars prequel. It tells how a young Han Solo hooks up with Chewbacca and the Millennium Falcon. It amazes me how a 78 year old like myself can enjoy the same kind of movie as an 8 year old.

You're 78 now but the Stars Wars Franchise began when we were a good deal younger--for some there's a comforting familiarity about viewing further stories about characters that entertained us as young adults.
