What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

The Dish ( 2001 )

Back when we were heading to the moon, a group of scientist man the relay dish in Australian sheep country.
Sam Neill holds this movie together and is a nice reminder of that eventful time in our world.

One of the most emotional movies I've ever seen in my life!
Roberto Benigni was brilliant.
 

90 feet from home <-- free on Youtube, a 2 hour movie about a family that's abused by the stepfather, especially the oldest son who got the brunt of it including getting attacked and beaten with a baseball bat while asleep in the middle of the night. The story transitions from the abuse to the tragic aftermath 15 years later and the feelings of retribution and revenge.

I especially relate to the story as my dad was quite abusive to me and my Mom was the enabler of him. I wanted to make him pay in a big way from an early age as a child but always resisted to do that due to my Mom's dependence on him and still regret that I did.

That's available on Netflix DVD. I know I've seen it before, but it's probably worth watching again. And I've probably forgotten most of it, anyway.

I'll add my endorsement for watching 'Inside Moves'. A feel good movie that is very well written and the casting
is on the mark. The characters surrounding Roary are a pleasure to watch. Stinky, Wings and the rest draw you in to
the atmosphere after the Vietnam era. One of my favorites.
( For those who have seen it, 'ROARY...ROARY...ROARY! )
 
Finally watched a copy of the first John Wick with Keanu Reeves, he's a long way from his Bill & Ted days. I have the next 2 to watch but need to rest up a little. I was wore out helping him survive the Russian mob in NYC. Number 4 is coming out 2022.

I watched a film that is currently in release called "The Rescue". It is a documentary about the 15 Thai boys that were trapped in the caves for 16 days and the efforts that it took to successfully get them out. It was riveting and uplifting. It was amazing to see British, Thai, US and Australian citizens working together to make this happen. It gave me hope!
 
Tonight I watched Silver Linings Playbook--I watched it in segments at first because the beginning was pretty intense and then I watched the rest. I enjoyed it a lot and think it is a very good movie. I watched it on Netflix.

Watched Dune Friday 10/22/21 in my nearby inexpensive theater for $6.50. Beforehand, was glad I read the below linked book synopsis that nicely filled in some where the movie obviously doesn't have time developing characters and complexity. Note have not read book. The movie only reaches the fourth paragraph in this synopsis so further episodes will be forthcoming. Was good entertainment, deep and slow moving, well directed, yeah go see it.

Had looked at some viewer comments on whether watching in IMAX would be worthwhile and after the viewing was glad I did not. Much of the filming by Villeneuve was with dim lighting inside sandstone structures much like he used in the acclaimed sci-fi Arrival within the alien ship I much enjoyed. However in this movie that reduced my perception of detailed complexity that of course makes CGI effects easier to create. The two cast leads Timothée Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson worked well and several key characters have already met eternity. There is a reasonable balance between action scenes and character interactions. The movie ends this episode at a hopeful positive emotional point after much was lost.

This was my first time inside a theater since the pandemic began and masking was required, however it immediately became obvious covering all the way above my nose would be impossible because as an eyeglass wearer, they quickly fogged up haha. So wore below my nose but then just a few people in the theater and I've even had the third Pfizer booster.
 
Tonight on Netflix I watched The Land of Steady Habits. To begin with it is not a "feel good" movie. It kept my attention but it was on the depressing side. I wouldn't watch it again that's for sure.
